RUEf TO TESTIFY Japs fanning flames
IF SCHMITZ DOES 0F hate against u. s.
Defense Keeping Prosecu
tion Guessing as to
Plans.
San Franslsco, June 10.—It haa gone
forth that In caae Mayor Schmlta taken
the etand In hta defense. Ruef will be
called upon by the proaocutlon to testi
fy In rebuttal.
In caae the mayor does not take the
stand then Ruef/ testimony will not
be necessary. This Information has
been conveyed to the legal advlsera of
the mayor. It has caused worry and
uncertainty as to the plans of the de
fense.
The defense during the trial has
many times hinted at Its Intention of
putting the mayor on the stand. Hi
was to be called upon to deny the en
tire story of extortion. But now that
Heney Is keeping them guessing their
plans may be changed and Schmitz
may not be called upon to raise hls
voice In hls own defense. a
h June 10.—It Is believed
"•» *** l ? e Japanese of the Pacific
coast and the progressives, a political
nfuJ y of Japan, have entered into an
alliance to Involve the United States
and Japan for the purpose of over-
tnrmving the Imperial ministry In the
mikado s country.
It also Has In view the annulment
? r , clau *e In the Immigration law
excluding Japanese coolies from conti
nental territory of this country. It is
understood that an effort will be made
to make this country apologize and
perhaps offer Indemnity for the anti-
Japanese riots In San Francisco, and
may result In Viscount Aosl returning
to Japan.
Dispatches from Toklo, In telling of
articles In Japanese papers, quote Vis.
count Tanl, head of the defense of Ku
mamoto in the Satsuma rebellion, and
leader of the opposition In the house of
peers, as saying:
"The persecution of the Japanese In
San Francisco Is a most wicked action.
Should diplomacy fall to bring about a
eatlefactory solution, the only way opVt
to us Is to appeal to arms- Our mind
Is firmly made up. It Is certain that
America will yield, for Its people are
radically commercial tn their senti
ment."
It can hardly be estimated what per
cent of public sentiment the viscount
represents In Japan, but hie remarks, If
true, are calculated to Dpi the jingoes
In that country Into an antl-Amorlcan
sentiment that may be followed by
other developments.

The Sunday Just gone was the first
really truly summer Sunday this sea
son, and It made up In heat for the
lack of that commodity In the previous
Sundays.
Whatever wind there was stirring
during the day was so backward and
modest that one could hardly notice It,
whereas the sun was out In all the
glory and heat of a typically mid-sum
mer day.
Those who had been brave enough
not to make their change from heavy to
light rushed to cover to do so, and all
Atlanta—barring a few. Just a few-
left steaming homes for a spin In their
autos, buggies, street cars or ankle ex
press. according to the status of the
exchequer of each.
But the most, by far, took cars and
went out to the parks. White City,
Grant park, Ponce DeLeon, Lakewood,
Inman Park. Howell park, and all the
other parks In and around Atlanta were
filled almost to overflowing with At
lantans of both sexes, and all. ages,
searching tor a vacant seat, a little
shade and ample space to breathe In.
Cold Sunday suppers were the order
of the day In the homes. The house,
wife who managed to keep “cookie” It
the kitchen Sunday more than qualified
to wear a Carnegie hero medal.
Seats on street cars were at about
great a premium as shady nodks. The
company turned loose all they had, one
car following directly after another on
all lines leading to the parks, and still
the strap-hangers had to get a Jiu-Jitsu
grip for fear of losing what little they
hod.
The crowd at White City was estl
mated at between 15,000 and 20,000.
Ponce DeLeon the attendance was
never larger on a Sundny. Grant park
was alive with a swarm of people, and
the smaller parks were filled.
It was an old-fashioned summer day,
like the ones that "father used To talk
about."
Chicago, June 10.—Three persons
were Injured, two of them *o-
rlously, In a balloon ascension at Luna
park last night. Roy Snyder, an aero
naut, was thrown from hls trapeze
when thirty-five feet In the air and dl
rectly over o crowd.
Mabel McGill, aged 10, and Casslo
Boylan, were struck by Snyder and
broke hls fall. The two Ilttlo girls were
directly beneath Snyder. Ho fell on
their heads. Both were Injured. Two
of Snyder’s ribs were broken and there
was a deep cut In hie right leg.

the general aseembly has been practl
rally cut out for It by the Democratic
platform adopted In the Macon conven
tion.
In fact, the larger reform measures
desired and advocated by Governor-
elect Hoke Smith were embodied In the
ilatform, and It Is simply a question of
! he line upon which these reforms are
to be worked out.
Two of the matters of paramount
Import art negro disfranchisement and
the regulation of railroads. Prior to
tha session lees Is heard of prospective
legislation than usual, due perhaps to
the fact that the line of action wae
forecasted In the platform.
George W. Williams, of Laurens
county, will Introduce the disfranchise
ment bill. It has been drafted under
the direction of Governor Smith, Con
gressman T. W. Hardwick, of the Tenth
district, snd other advocates of such a
measure.
It Is said that a bill has been drafted
that has as Its object the complete re
organisation of the railroad commis
sion, Increasing the commission from
three to five, and largely Increasing th*
powers of the body, it Is a question as
to how the new measure will affect the
status of the two hold-over commis
sioners, Chairman Warner Hill and
Commissioner O. B. Stevens. Commis
sioner Joseph M, Brown will retire In
October.
Representative H. H. Perry, of Hall,
will probably Introduce an anti-pass
measure. This Mil It eald to be more
sweeping In Its reforms than any bill
yet Introduced. It will restrict all pub
lic ofitclalB from acceptance of rail
road or street car passes.
A strong prohibition fight Is also
scheduled for the coming eesslon. Jnst
what shape It will assume Is not yet
apparent, but a measure, to protect
prohibition counties from the Jug trade
Is probable. A vast amount of local
legislation is to come before the law
makers, and the opening days will see a
deluge of bills, ..
The seventh anniversary of Its or
ganisation was celebrated by Fulton
lodge, No. 32, Independent Order of
Odd Fellows, In Its hall at the corner
of Moore and Decatur streets Sunday
afternoon at 8 o'clock. Addressee were
made by Worshipful Master J. H. Do
zier and Past Worshipful Master John
A. Hynds and Past Worshipful Mas-
ter Alex Dlttler. Fulton lodge numbers
over 700 members, and is one of the
largest and most prosperous lodges In

ence to the purchase of "Sutherland,'*
the home of General John B. Gordon,
pear Decatur, is made by Colonel E. G.
Willingham In hls answer to the suit.

firms that Johnson had no Interest in
