QUARRELSOME PEOPLE ; IL CERTAIN radical clement among the Japanese, headed by /\ Count Okuma, evidently designs to force an issue between h\ their country and the United States. People who are in search of a quarrel rarely find much difficulty in discovering a pretext. To be sure, a fist fight between Americans, followed by some injury to Japanese property, is not a very substantial pretext, but apparently it is made to' serve for want of better. Presumably, it could be duplicated any week of the year in Tokyo in the shape of Japanese assaults on American sailors ashore, but this country is not hunting for petty causes taf quarrel as some of the Japanese are doing. This, of course, is not true of all, the Japanese. Their local consul issued a statement on the subject of the above mentioned disturbance in a restaurant, in which he said: In the first place, Japanese residents of San Francisco recognize the fact that present conditions in this city make it very difficult for the authori ties to extend full protection. They understand that the strike on the street railroads puts a heavy tax upon the police force and that it is impossible to guard all places at all times against the lawless elements of the. com munity. They are fully convinced, however, that much of the violence to which they have been subjected is due to racial prejudice, and that attempts which are being made in certain quarters to have it appear that the trouble is confined to quarrels between laboring men, incidentally involving Japanese, are without foundation- In support of this view they direct attention to the fact that Japanese restaurants have been systematically annoyed and unjustly attacked- Hardly a day goes by in the territory south of Market street that some threatening demonstration is not made by roughs and hoodlums against Japanese places of business in that quarter. Now, if the Japanese have a grievance, the state courts and the federal courts are open to them, and they will get justice. We realize that this simple and obvious plan may not suit the cocky Japanese who travel with a chip on the shoulder, but it is the civilized way. The moral of all this is that the Japanese are a highly unde sirable people as close neighbors. Besides being tricky and deceitful, they are quarrelsome and a constant cause of national embroilment. They say the fault is ours. Very well; let them keep .out and there will be no such trouble. ' As long as they are permitted to come here there will be trouble and international friction; nor does it matter in the least on whose shoulders should lie the blame. For our own peace we must exclude the Japanese. POET AND JURIST THE attention of the bar association is directed to the latest outrage committed by Judge Hebbard. The mess of poetry of which the learned jurist stands accused is surely an indict- able offense. It is understood, of course, that proceedings for disbarment will not lie for anything less than a capital crime, but the association might at least addres3 a polite remonstrance to the court. " That would be about the association's size. Really, Judge Hebbard goes too far. It. is not alone that he \\Tites sloppy and maudlin verse of his own tinkering, but he pre sumes to lay a blundering hand on the work of better men. What apology or plea can he offer in excuse for this misquotation" of Hamlet's words: * ~ "*Tis not alone my inky cloak, good mother, Nor melancholy suit of solemn black." , % If Judge Hebbard had put his poetry in the shape of an affidavit he could be convicted of perjury. Besides, it reads like an affidavit. Judge Hebbard further deposes and says that he begins writing poetry at 3 o'clock of the morning and stops at 5. Few men go to bed so early. We beg leave to offer Judge Hebbard another quotation that might find congenial company in his affidavit: "Early to bed; early to rise. Makes a man healthy,' wealthy and wise.** \u25a0 < OUTLAW CORPORATIONS \u0084 , ft \u25a0 \u25a0 . . r*T"jHE work of the interstate commerce commission will be I incomplete if it does not include an exhaustive revision of the f relations between the railroads- and the Pullman company and the private car lines. Some of the worst abuses of the transportation system arise from these relations, and such: abuses are as injurious to the railroad companies as to the public. It is no secret that the Pullman company and the Armour car lines hold ironclad contracts that bind the railroads to, pay exorbitant rates for the use of cars furnished. The price that the traveler pays to the Pullman company for his berth is only a part of the compensation received by the monopoly; in the same way the private car line collects from both the shipper and the railroad. Contracts of this kind between such- corporations are plainly contrary to public policy. They introduce so much confusion in the relations between the railroads and the shippers that it is difficult to place the responsibility. . This confusion is used as; a cloak for v overcharges and unjust exactions. V. . Some time ago the Texas railroad commission tried 'to [reduce Pullman charges, and they were met with the customary dishonest plea that the monopoly is neither a common carrier nor an. inn keeper, but some sort of undefined, incorporated monster unknown to the law. These excuses are familiar and the courts will know how to deal with them, but in the/.Texas instance the : further objection was raised by the railroads that their contracts with? the Pullman company guaranteed it a certain annual return on' each car operated over their respective lines. A reduction of /rates) therefore, might f entail loss to the railroads, instead -of the sleeping car company. • <; ; The difficulties created by this division of responsibility will not be removed until railroad companies are compelled by law to EDITORIAL PAGE perform all the functions incidental to .transportation without the intervention of third parties. \u25a0 As ' matters' stand, ! their/ obligations have tfeen > transferred .to irresponsible \u25a0 monopolies,' which edge, no law or right ; of regulation. -The condition is intolerable, but, •'apparently, as ; the law. stands, -T'thie/ public '.. has ' ho remedy. The Pullman company and the Armour car lines appear to regard\them selves as outlaws. It must be the work of congress -arid the inter^ state commerce commission to bring them back within the law. THE great American, relic hunter is in strong force at James town.- He and his women folk made a clean sweep of every thing portable that glittered in the cabin of the Duke of Abnizzi on the Italian flagship at Hampton roads. His silver toilet set and all the little articles of "bigotry and virtue" that lay around were pitilessly carried off piecemeal arid with thorough attention to detail. It is a form of petty larceny committed .by people who consider themselves in good society. -As usual, there is an investigation, but we fear that it will not bring back the silver nor run down the thieves. . Fighting Bob Evans expresses his disgust in this wise: . . I was deeply "mortified when it was reported to me that the duke-; of Abruzzi and his \u25a0 officers | had /been j robbed. In"; my | general 'orders I| took occasion to say | that guests on | board war vessels would not ' be \u25a0 permitted to visit the private quarters of the officers unaccompanied by a ; member of the staff. I have had so \u25a0 •; much experience with souvenir \ fiends myself that I am not at all surprised that 'the duke and: his officers suffered from their vandalism. The \u25a0 American souvenir ' hunter " will ; steal v anything "except -' a cellar full of water. This . practice is peculiar to America. . I have , had receptions on ; board my vessel |in nearly :: every country :in the world, : but in no/ place other than- America, have I ever missed : anything/: At \ Kiel, Germany, there were probably ;1,000; l,000> persons present at a *': dance lonlthe'^New York, but notsb much- as aya v pin was' taken.' . Let us be just, admiral. No American relic hunter ever car ried away a marble- pagoda like the Japanese /\u25a0' viscount who stole the famous fane of P'ungiDuk while the -king "of Korea' was not looking. The British museum is filled with marbles stolen ; from Greece. Some of the best paintings in the Louvre got there by;a dishonest road. Much depends upon the ; scale of operations! f ; ; We all agree that the people who /looted chamber ware ' of I a visiting duke were mean" and contemptible thieves, but ;if : they, had been strong enough to . steal the smokestack, that "might have- pleased them better and they would have earned a certain dubious /meed of admiration. .

TNT N the old days, before the Jules Mer?- JouMn's Second \u25a0 f ciders began to think their temperaments Plunge a Surprise -L were incompatible, their studio in Mer chan, S .reet, a, tie cprne, of Montgomery. \u25a0£££££*£* f^Z body had to contribute something ,o the program. »fJ«ta £», j ap like an oriental and played the tomtom. It was very funny, and so were the rest of the stunts. It doesn't seem quite natural to think of Joullin. Indolent seams that he is, stepping into matrimony again. He had been a widower a long time when The went to New York, and the "^'Vf^^JZo^Z that he and Miss Harriet Quimby, a very beautiful San Frandsco girl who was trying .her luck in Gotham newspaperdom. were to, wed. But the rumor as so often happens was founded npon anything but fact. Joulltn "11 heart free. returned, to his old home sti _ iir - ri -iV The Mersfelders weren't at twos then. They were the life of the Sequoia 'gatherings. at Coppa's and it was only a short time before the historic April 18 that they had agreed to go their separate ways. Mrs^Mer* felder retained the Merchant street studio and went on painting Chinese children and portraits. of other little ones and Jules fitted up a studio in Market street. He had just moved into the Ralston house tn Pine street and started in to paint pictures for an exhibition when the fire saved hira the trouble of packing up the masterpieces. His latest location bowth, bay. Jules, by the way, is a San Francisco boy, but the late Mrs. Mersfelder. now Mrs. Joullin, is from Chicago. Their marriage was one of those romances Qf art life, as the Joullin union Is a romance of the earthquake. I don't think even her most intimate friends out here knew that •'Lou stood' for "Lucy Wilcox" in Mrs. Mersfelder's name until the dispatches mentioned it in the late marriage notice. It was like Dcjmas having to go to New York for us to discover that "D. M." stood for Delphin Michel. _\u0084,_., , We do not have to go back to Henri Mnrgrr Charlie DlCkman S for our romances o f bohemla these days. Fond Adventures They live themselves among us, and though they may lack the picturesque background of Paris and the Mimi-Muzette type of talc, there is yet in them material for novels with the artistic atmosphere. The Mersf elder- Joullin marriage is one of these artistic semibohemian romances. Another quite as deeply interesting is the love story of Charlie Dickman, the liberty loving artist who fotfnd matrimonial ties galling after some years of. trial, yet who, when freed by the courts from one charming woman with musical tastes, lost little time ia finding another wife, equally charming and also musical. - . . ~ , , Mrs. Van Rensselaer Croger, who dropped JUJien UOrdOn S inconspicuously into town the other day in Literary Success the CO urse_ of a tour she is taking in the interest of her muse, is of sufficient cefebrity for the Sequoians to have offered her the utmost of their hospitality. She has written a number of successful novels since her "Diplomat's Diary" set the , reading world to guessing who "J u^ e n Gordon" was, 17 years ago. The astute diplomat of the diary turned out to be a society woman well known abroad and in New York and Washington society, Mrs. Julia Grinnell Storrow Cruger. It was Mrs. Cruger, by the way, who, when she was asked in what manner she would prefer to die, said that her choice would be to be kissed to death. When "she was pointed out to John Oliver Hobbes ': (Mrs. Craigie) as the author of" that;, saying that amiable lady responded, "Well, shell never realize her desire." "" . .In Railway Circles SOME months ago the railroads In this city brought to the attention of the public through the medium of this paper the necessity of ca tering to the Alaska trade. It was pointed out that something should be done to secure a part of $30,000,000 ex pended annually by the people in Alas ka for supplies. It was shown that Seattle practically had a monopoly of this trade and that if San Francisco merchants tried they would be able to cut into that monopoly. The mattar was. taken up by the business organiza tions and an effort made to induce ship owners to send a vessel direct. to Nome. This was finally done, and the sailing of the Indiana straight for Nome heavily laden shows that. San Francisco's busi nessmen .can very materially share this profitable trade wiih - Seattle. ;:;it means also that the transcontinental lines will help • supply what is con sumed in Alaska and that a large pro portion of that $30,000,000 will find Its home here. The Indiana took 400 steerage passengers and 160 first class passengers. \u0084b esides 6,000 tons of freight, and the fact that rail and ship could be got; together, as in China basin, made. the freight transfer cheap er and , easier. On July 2 the Indiana will sail again for Nome, and 14 car loads of beer_ and several carloads of canned milk ; are . en route to this city if 0r,,; that vessel. In the past all this transcontinental business would have been- shipped to- Seattle. ; but what in terests *\u25a0 San : Francisco people " most la that millions of dollars will be spent in this city * for supplies for the northern mines. \u25a0'.'
