THE POWER
OF JAPAN
INCREASING
One Hundred Thousand Men
Could Be Landed in
Hawaii.
Offiftl OF EMMSTER DIE
The Japanese Do Not Desire
a Conflict With the United
States.
HDE.WITY DUE FROM HAWAII
Annexation of the Islands Would Not
Be Forcibly Be«iisted by England
or Japan.
Edwin Dun, ex-United States Minister
to Japan, arrived from the Orient on the
steamer Belgic yesterday. Mr. Dun is en
route to his home in Ohio, accompanied
by his daughter. He has lived in Japan
nearly all the time since 1874, and many
years have been passed in the diplomatic
service. He was secretary of the Ameri
can legation in Japan when John F.
Swift was United States Minister to that
country, and also filled the same position
when Frank L. Coombs was Minister.
Mr. Coombs and Mr. Dun had a pleasant
interview yesterday at the Palace Hotel,
where the latter is stopping.
On the voyage from Yokohama to this
port Mr. Dun tarried several hours at
Honolulu, and had a pleasant visit with
.United Stales Minister Harold Sewall.
In a conversation with a Call reporter at
the Palace Hotel last evening, Mr. Dun
spoke of affairs in the Orient, and dwelt
at some length on the de velopment o
Japan and the decay of China. In his
judgment the career of China as one of
the nations ot the world is practically
closed, yet he comprehends that the
Chinese are a great people in many re
spects. He realizes that the band of Rus
sia is powerful in the Orient, and that it
is only a question of time when Russia
will occupy Northern China and hold the
country as she pleases.
Speaking of Japau, Mr. Dun said: "The
Japanese have dismissed the idea of ex
tending their dominion to the mainland,
and the whole thought is the develop
ment of home resources. The strength of
Russia is recognized, and while Japan
may not be pleased with the idea of Rus
sian advancement in Korea and the con
cessions which Russia has obtained in
China, tbe policy of Japan is one of non
interference. The Russian empire has
already obtained from China the right to
construct a railroad across Chinese terri
tory to a point on the Gulf of Pechiii,
where open-water facilities may be had.
A second concession for a line still further
south has been granted, and branches
from the main line of the trans-Siberian
road- will be constructed to the ocean
terminals on Chinese territory. The
policy of Russia is fixed and unchange
able. Her plans are foreshadowed and
she can wait if necessary. She can wait a
year or fifty years, but the plan of exten
sion undergoes no change. The policy of
Russia is understood in the Orient, and
there is no power strong enough toresistit.
"Japan is building a strong navy," said
Mr. Dun. "The strength of her navy in
everything that represents the best of
modern equipment and armament is re
markable. She is getting the best of mod
ern warships, and many of them. She
now has a larger force of men trained for
the naval servic • than the United States
can muster. The idea that men must be
educated to handle the new ships is fully
appreciated. The best and brightest
young men of the country are being
taught for this duty, and the training is
first class in every way.
"I cannot imagine any complication
over Hawaiian affairs possible that could
embroil the Untied Slates and Japan in
serious trouble. The policy of the Japa
nese Government is one of friendship for
the United States. It is in line with the
Japanese policy of national development.
The opposition to the administration is
quite as strong in that country as in the
United States, and it is from the opposi
tion that the sentiment of hostility to this
country emanates. The purpose is to cud
gel the administration into doing some
thing that it has resolved not to do. The
ruling authorities in Japan have no
thought of provoking a war with the
United States, and it is a mistake to fancy
that the people of Japan desire a war with
this country. The enemies of the present
administration may be seeding to stir up
strife, but that does not influence the peo
ple.
"Japan is sufficiently powerful," said
Mr. Dun, "to land 100,000 men in Hawaii,
and could perhaps hold the islands against
all force that could be brought to bear
within six months, but the Government
fully comprehends the resources and
power of the United States. Japan knows
that the islands could not be held against
the force which this country could intro
duce. lam sure that Japan would offer
no armed resistance to the annexation of
Hawaii. She does not want the islands
herself, as her policy is opposed to the
acquisition of foreign territory. In my
.judgment Japan has just claims for in
demnity against the Hawaiian Govern
ment for the refusal of the Hawaiian
authorities to observe the conditions of
contract regarding the admission of
Japanese laborers. If that question bas
been submitted to arbitration it will no
doubt secure an amicable settlement.
" "I do not see how England could make
any objection to the annexation of the
islands by the United States. I fancy that
she would uotinterfere if American troops
should land to establish a protectorate
pending annexation. England's policy is
one of annexat on and acquisition. She
is constantly extending her dominions
and taking whatever she wants. Why the
people of the United States should - be un
easy lest England should take the islands
is what I cannot understand, as the Eng
lish have a vast extent ol country on this
continent adjacent to our territory, and
are fortifying their possessions. Ido not
see any particular advantage that the
United States can gain by annexing the
islands. We might establish a protectorate
and prevent any other country from as
suming control. ' If we annex the islands
we must take the Japanese, Portuguese
and Chinese already there. We could not
recognize their labor contracts, as that
woul.d be contrary to our laws, and we
could not prevent these laborers from go
ing from one part of the country to an
other. The laborers who are there now
working for 30 cents a day would soon de
mand $1 a day or more and get it. If the
United States intends to inaugurate a
policy of extension Cuba as well as
await should be acquired, aud the first
business in hand should be. the building
and manning of a navy to hold our pos
sessions in the ocean." . '
Mr Dun was in Honolulu only a lew
hours and did not have an opportunity to
see President Dole. There was no alarm
or excitement in Honolulu while Mr. Dun
was there, and Minister Sewall did not
anticipate trouble of any kind.
Mr. Dun expects to leave the City this
evening for the East. He remarked last
night that he regarded his diplomatic ca
reer as closed, as he did not desire further
service abroad. He recognizes that it
would be a piece of National folly to hoist
the flag in Hawaii again and then pull it
down. If the flag goes up now the United
States must hold ii there. He did not re
gard the presence of warships in Ha
waiian waters as significant of hostility
toward the United State-*.
EOTHCHILD TESTIFIES.
The Prosecution Will To-Day Take Up
the Murder Charge Against Flgel.
As far as they could go, the prosecution
in the Theodore A. Figel embezzlement
examination yesterday submitted their
side of the.controversy.
General Barnes, for the defense, ad
hered to his already expressed intention
to produce no testimony for the defense
any further than that which could be ob
tained upon cross-examination at this
time.
As a consequence, ex-Judge Murphy,
who conducted the prosecution yesterday
instead of Attorney Ach, was able to pre
sent some eight embezzlement cases and
two for forgery, all of which now only re
main to be argued alter the charge of mur
der has been heard.
The testimony in the embezzlement and
forgery cases is depended upon to sup
port the murder charge.
The testimony vesterdsy was given prin
cipally by Edward S. Rothchild, who has
been on the witness-stand before. The
cross-examination brought out that he did
not know whether or not Isaac Hoffman
had ever given Ficel authority to sign the
firm's name to drafts or checks.
This shows why it is tbe defense has
persistently brought up the Alonzo White
man case of forgery, tried in New York,
and in which Writing Expert Ames, for
the prosecution, virtually acquitted the
defendant by his testimony, shown to be
entirely at variance with facts.
Expert Ames is to be heard on cross-ex
amination to-day. and the testimony
given by him in the Whiteman case will
very likely take up much of the time.
The'prosecution announced at the time
of adjournment that the murder case
would be taken up to-day.
CHIEF LEES' REPORT.
Suggestions as to the Improve
ments That Are Greatly
Needed.
The Nev Head of the Department
Eulogizes the One That Has
Betired.
Chief of Police Lees has tiled his annual
report with the Board of Supervisors,
showing the work done by the department
under his supervision during the past
twelve months.
After detailing, the number of arrests
made, with the causes of the same and
tne amount paid into the city treasury
in fines, tbe Chief makes suggestions re
garding the improvement of tne depart
ment as follows:
The history of the police departments in
other cities, and particularly in the larger
and more progressive Eastern cities, fully jus
tifies the position which 1 am assuming in
this matter. In these cities the police stations
are city property and are titled up in a sub
stantial and adequate manner to accommo
date all officers in the district in which the
station is located, thus giving the force a
place ot rendezvous, where they can 'be
concentrated in eases of riot or popular out
breaks. It is my duty to remind you that
ultimately it is the taxpayers who are obliged
to make good losses resulting from the con
duct of riotous mobs, and I urge seriously
upon your mo-t careful attention the proposi
tion that the reasonable precautionary meas
ures here suggested for the adequate equip
ment of this department would be a very
cheap insurance against the heavy losses
which may be incurred by neglecting to taise
that care of the public interests which any
reasonable person would take in the manage
ment 01 his private affairs.
As soon as possible four patrol-wagons
should be constructed for the double purpose
not only of replacing those worn out by long
service but also to increase the efficiency of
the department by providing these wagons for
outlying districts.
There should be established a police station
in .ho vicinity of Steiner and Uuion or Green
wich streets, because that district, to
the topography of that put of the City, the
pleasure resorts at Seaside Gardens, Harbor
View Park, the Presidio, Fullon Iron Works,
gas works, lumber-yards, etc., and the isola
tion from the main lines of street railways, re
quires special police protection.
I recommend that a police station should be
established in the vicinity of the Golden Gate
Park, but so situated as to command tne park
and Ashbury Heights and Richmond districts.
The establishment of such a station is fast be
coming a matter of necessity, owing to the
large increase, both in building and in popu
lation, in the district mentioned.
The increase during tue last year of the
mounted patrol for duty in the outlying dis
tricts has demonstrated the value and neces
sity of this branch of the service, a branch
which is highly commended by the residents
of these districts. I would recommend a fur
ther increase of this patrol, and that horses
and necessary equipments should be supplied
for that purpose.
Regarding Chief Crowley's retirement.
Chief Lees says: "Chief Crowley has left
the Police Department, but he has left be
hind him in the department a record that
any man might justly envy. For faithful
ness in the discharge of his duty, for sin
gleness and sincerity of purpose seldom
found among men, for steadfast friendship
and kindness of heart, Chief Crowley
stands pre-eminent among the men who
have made history in this municipality;
and while, in common with the other
members of this department, I regretted
his retirement, still that regret was tem
pered by the knowledge t at he was about
to enjoy the rest and release from official
care, toil and responsibility to which he
was jnstly entitled."
A STRANGER ROBBED.
Edward Gallagher of Healrisburg Re-
lieved of About 8260.
Edward Gallagher, a laborer on the San
Francisco and North Pacific Coast Rail
road, living in Healdsburg, came to the
City Monday with $:60 in his pockets.
Shortly before 2 o'clock yesterday morn
ing he was ' found sitting on * the
steps of a house on Harrison street in
an intoxicated condition. His trousers
were cut open at the top of the right leg,
where be kept his money, and be told the
officer some one had roobed him of it all
except 75 cents.
He could not recollect with whom he
bad been drinking and he was sent io
Captain Spillane, to whom be reported
the story of being robb.-d.
The captain ordered him to be locked
up for being drunk, to keep him out of
barm's way, and detailed two officers to
make a thorough investigation into the
robbery. . .
CAPTAIN LE BALUSTER DEAD.
He-Was an Old Sea dipt i ln and a Na
tive of the State of ."ila.no.
Captain James E. Le Ballisier died at
12:25 o'clock yesterday morning at his
residence, 443 McAllister street. Dr.
Jerome Anderson, who had been attend
ing him, certified to the Coroner that
death bad been caused by inflammation
of the stomach. The doctor thought the
Coroner should be notified because the
deceased had attempted suicide about
three months ago by inhaling chloroform.
This, however, "had nothing to do with
the cause of death.
The deceased was 63 yeari old and a
native oi .Maine,
THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 4, ' 1 89^.
FIRED AT A
TRIO OF BOYS
Policeman A. C. Winzler
Proves Himself an Ex
pert Marksman.
A Bullet .Hit Charles Franz in
the Eight Leg, Penetrating
the Bone.
The Boys Are Suspected of Breaking
Into a Residence on Dolores
Street.
Policeman A. C. Winzler distinguished
himself as an expert marksman yesterday
afternoon by making an excellent shot at
a fleeing boy who is suspected of being a
firebug.
The residence of Napoleon P. Vallejo,
704 Dolores street, was entered yesterday
THE SHOOTING*
afternoon by three burglars. Mrs. Vallejo
and children are in tbe country, and there
is no one in tbe house during the daytime.
The wire door in the rear and the
kitchen door in front of it bad both been
forced open by cutting a hole near the
lock, and a door in an outhouse had been
forced open in the same manner.
Two men who were working in the vi
cinity saw the boys forcing an entrance to
the house and notified Policeman Dodge.
Before Dodge had reached the house the
boys had become alarmed and taken their
departure without carrying away any
burglar.
Dodge made an Investigation and was
joined by Winzler. They consulted to
gether and it was decided that Winzler
should remain at the house till Vallejo,
who is a salesman, returned in the even
ing. &3SH
While there Winzler was told by some
other boys that three boys, who were
standing not far away peerine up at the
house, were the burglars. He immedi
ately decided to capture them, and went
into the house, taking off his coat, vest
and hemlet and donning a coat, vest and
bat belonging to Vallejo. » * .
The three boys had walked on, and, as
Winzler emerged from the house in
civilian attire, he saw them about a couple
of blocks away. He jumped. into an ex
press wa«*on and followed them.
As he neared them they turned round,
and, evidently recognizing him, started
to run. Winzler jumped out of the wagon
and pursued them. He called upon them
CHARLES FRANZ, the Boy Who Was Shot by a Policeman.
to stop, but they kept on running, and be
pulled out his revolver and fired two
shots in tbe air to intimidate them.
This had no effect, po Winzler lowered
his weapon and taking deliberate aim at
the legs of one of the fleeing boys fired.
With a yell the boy threw up his hands
and fell forward on his face.
Another of the trio, when he saw his
companion fall, stopped suddenly, but the
third continued bis flight and made his
escape.
The boy who was shot is Thomas Franz.
17 years of age, who lives with his father,
a gardener, at 541 Valencia street. The
bullet struck: him in the right leg, pene
trating tbe bone and lodging there. He
was taken to the Receiving Hospital,
where Dr. Thompson attended to him.
The other boy. whose' name is Frank
Walsh, 18 years of age, was taken to the
Seventeenth-street station and later to the
City .Prison.
* The boy who escaped is the smallest
and youngest of the trio. His name is
Kirby, and he was arrested some months
ago for raising a false alarm of fire at one
of tbe public schools from which he had
been expelled, for the fun of seeing the
scholars and teachers running out. ,
Both Franz and Walsh deny that they
committed the burglary at the Vallejo
residence, and the two men who saw. the
two boys breaking into the house failed to
identify them.
NO INTEREST
ON ITS LOANS
A Jewish benevolent Society
on a Novel Financial
Plan.
Money Let Out to Worthy Israel
ites to Be Eepaid in
Installments.
Some Friend Mast Give His Security
on the Note Before the Loan
Is Made.
A novel benevolent society has just been
organized in this City. It will make
small loans to persons other than its
members and will not charge them any
interest.
It is a Jewish society and its ministra
tions are confined to the chosen people
Chevra Gemilus Hasodim is the name of
the organization, and its founder is M. J.
Cohn, a well-to-do grocer in this City. D.
D. Lande of 444% Clementina street ex
plained its objects last evening.
"The society was, organized on tbe 20th
of July of this year, for the purpose of
assisting worthy Israelites with loans
without interest," said Mr. Lande. "We
number at present about fifty members,
but we ought to have 200 or 300 before we
can do what we want. Each member
contributes 25 cents ncr month, which is
placed into a fund, and when we have a
sufficient sura of money we will loan it
out to worthy Israelites in $5 and $10
amounts.
"The borrower need not be a member of
the society. He must give a note for the
amount and must get some responsible
person to go security for tbe payment of
it. Then the borrower pays it back at the
rate of $1 per week without interest. This
will be a great help to poor Israelites, and
we expect that the society will receive
many additions as soon as its benevolent
objects shall become more generally
known."
Meetings will be held every third Sun
day in the synagogue of the Congregation
Nevah Zedek. ' The officers of the society
are: President, M. J. Cohn; vice-presi
dent, A. M. Jacobs; secretary, D. Lande;
treasurer, S. Lichtenstein; honorable
trustee, Charles He-s; trustees — I. . Shen
son, D. Markowitz, Charles Simon, M.
Isaacson, S. Altfield, T. Brilliant and L.
Abraras; collector,, K. Clinowsky. :
A somewhat similar organization exists
in Chicago and other Eastern cities, but
the beneficiaries must be members.

THE MAYOR
WILL VETO
THE LEVY
Provided, of Course, That It
Is Not Scaled Down
Materially.
COMPLICATIONS MAY ARISE.
If Not Finally Fixed on Sep
tember 13 There Will Be
No Money.
PHELAN 111 A DELICATE POSITION.
He Will Try to Show the Board the
Error of Its Ways— Tailing
This, the Veto.
Yesterday's developments in the tix
levy muddle placed a whip in the hands
of the Mayor, if he chooses to use it, but
it is not an implement that a man with
aspirations would care to wield.
City and County Attorney Creswell
sent down an opinion — the one asked by
the Board of Superyisors— to the effect
that the Mayor has the power of vetoing
the tax levy, under a decision rendered by
Judge Suawell and not yet passed upon by
the Supreme Court. The opinion is as
follows:
To the Honorable the Board of Supervisors : An
opinion is requested by resolution No. 16,852,
third series, on the power of the board to fix
the tax levy for the present fiscal year inde
pendent of the action oi the Mayor.
If the provision of section ti, article XI, of
the constitution, adopted in 1890, excepting
charters of municipalities irom the control of
general laws in municipal affairs, applies to
charters in existence before the adoption of
the present constitution, the Mayor would
not nave the right to veto the ordinance or
resolution fixing the tax levy of the City and
County of San Francisco for the present fiscal
year, because the fixing of a tax levy to raise
revenues lor municipal purposes is a mu
nicipal affair, and the act of March 1897,
which is a general law and confers upon the
Mayor the veto power in this municipal affnr,
would be in conflict with section li, article XI,
as amended, and therefore void.
Judge Seawell, however, in the case of Max
Popper vs. William Broderick, held that the
exception contained in this amended section
of the constitution did not apply to charters
of municipalities which were in existence
prior to the adoption of the constitution,
and that such charters were still subject to
and controlled by general law.
The consolidation act of the City and County
of San Francisco is such a charter.
The case is the only one that I know of in
which the exception contained in the amend
ment to section 0, article XI of the constitu
tion was the subject of judicial discussion.
The judgment to this case has not been re
viewed by the Supreme Court of the Stale, and
until such review I will assume tne opinion
in that case to correctly state the law, and
therefore advise that the charter of San Fran
cisco is subject to and controlled by the act ot
March 27, 1897, and that the Board of Super
visors cannot fix the municipal tax levy for
this fiscal year independent <>f the action of
the Mayor. Harry T. Creswell,
Attorney and Counselor.
August 3, 1897.
This would seem to place the matter in
a . condition . where tbe Mayor could
block the scheme to saddle an exorbitant
tax levy on the property-owners, because
it is thought impossible that the Devany-
Haskins combination can secure nine
votes to pass the levy over the veto of the
chief executive of the City government.
But there are complications.
The law requires that the Board of Su
pervisors shall, on the third Monday in
September, fix a late of taxation for the
ensuing year. The law is plain and clear,
they must fix the levy.
This being the case the Mayor, should
he veto the measure, invalidates the entire
levy, and the consequence will be an en
tire lack of funds to run the City govern
ment and the bringing of all municipal
functions to a sudden stop — literally a
City without a government.
Should he sign the levy, with the roar
of indignation from the people in his ears,
he will be takine chances that a cour
ageous man would hesitate to face. ,
This is the quandary in which the
Mayor finds himself, and he is doing
much thinking to find a way out.
The board has adjourned until Septem
ber 13 and a week later the levy must be
decided upon.
The only ray of hope that seems to
shine out of the situation *to show Mr.
Pnelan his way is that the board will
bring the matter up on September 13, pass
upon it and give him a chance to veto be
foie the date upon which the final deci
sion must be rendered. Should the fixing
of the levy be delayed until the last day
well, there is the rub.
The Mayor sees no way out of vetoing
the proposed levy as it now stands. He
objects to it on almost every possible
ground and freely states is objections.
"Almost department could be cut
down," he said yesterday, "and while it
would entail strict economy it could be
done and the pledge the Supervisors gave
kept. ,
"Half of the City offices could be run
with far less help than is now employed,
and salaries could be cut without the em
ployes Buffering to any great extent. Tne
pay in City offices, as a general rule, is far
higher and the duties far less onerous
than in the business houses of this City,
and here is where economy should begin.
Then there is the subsistence of prisoners.
We pay over 17 cents per prisoner per
day, when there are plenty of responsible
contractors who would be willing to take
the job of furnishing supplies at 8 cents
per prisoner, or 10 cents at the outside.
"I ah'ili show these things to the board
as clearly as possible, and try to induce
it to look at the matter in a reasonable
and just light."
"And ii it refuse to scale down the Dev
any-Haskins schedule?" was asked.
"Then there is nothing left but to veto
it," said the Mayor with a far-away look in
his eyes. . '■ - ■/•■■- ■ .
