THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. MONDAY, JUNE 10, 1907. 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.

Are 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."

BIG STRIKE ON IN MINNEAPOLIS Minneapolis, June 10.—At a mast meeting of the building trades councils lest night It was decided to call out all men employed on bulldlnge where contractors are using the material of master sheet metal worker* where men are out on strike because of the open shop policy. MURESCO Both In packages GEORGIA PAINT dl GLASS CO., 40 Peachtree St. 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.
