framing a plan to establish a
rival government. «» His scheme means
two boards of supervisors, two
sets of commissioners and a
ftght in the courts for recognition.
The first feature of the program ar
ranged by the prosecution is the resig
nation of Charles 'Boxton as mayor.
This is to take place at today's meet
ing of the board of supervisors. The
board Is then to elect a mayor, choos
ing some citizen previously agreed
upon by the leaders of the graft
prosecution. Boxton's resignation will
retire him to private life, leaving 15
boodlingr supervisors to be forced out
by the prosecutions. The 13 are to re
sign as soon as the new mayor is
elected.
Counting the Boxton vacancy the
chief executive to be named today will
have 16 places on the board to fIU, j
which duty will not be delayed any
longer than Is absolutely necessary.
In the naming of a new board of super
visors the new mayor Is expected to
pive recognition to both the labor and
business Interests. Next will come the
removal of a' number of commission
ers. The police commission, It is ex
pected. will.be first to go. This will
mean the early decapitation of Chief of j
Police Dinan.
The plan of Eugene K. Schmltz. who
still calls himself mayor, has been laid
with a view of paralleling every move
of Che new mayor. As *oon as the
latter tills the vacancies on the board
of supervisors Schmitz will name suc
cessors of the sixteen retired boodler*.
.In this. he expects help from the few
political "satellites who etiU cling to
him.
Schmitz also plans to rename every
commissioner who is removed by the
new mayor. In" crsp any of lii* old
appointees refuse to fight he will find
some one else willing to take up the
forlorn hope- Every act of the gov
ernment recognized by the prosecution
is to be put to a legal test, and un
less something unforeseen happens
San Francisco will soon have two
"boards of supervisors, double the num
ber of commissions provided by the
charter and two. city halls. However
it will have only one mayor's office,
and that one 'will be occupied by the
executive chosen at the dictation of
the graft prosecutors.
JAPANESE ENDEAVORERS
JOIN SEATTLE MEETING
Friendly Relations Between
Nations Is Theme
of Speakers
FEATTLE. Wash.. July 14. — What Is
called by General Secretary Shaw, one
of the most notable meetings ever held
in connection with a Christian En

anese Endeavorers here today. Hun
dreds of Japanese carae together to
hear addresses in their own tongue on
the progress of Christian Endeavor
ivork, sing America's religious songs
in Japanese and listen to the welcomes
extended by American speakers.
Friendly relations between the United
States and Japan were emphasised in
every address. Secretary Shaw told
the Japanese that the Christian En
doavor society plans to hold Its con
vention in Japan in a few years.'
The convention has been notable for
the remarkable gathering together of
representatives from various parts of
the world, for the emphasis on good
citizenship and for the unusual inter
est displayed in evangelistic work car
ried on during the progress of the
convention, by some or the . delegates,
particularly William Phillips Hall, the
businessman evangelist of New York.

Through his aide. Captain Kaio, he
said:
"I wish to thank my many friends
in New York, both American and Jap
anese, for the multitude of kindnesses
shown me. Wherever I turn I find
friends and expressions of friendship.
My deep sense of appreciation for my
welcome again to America, for you
know I have been here several times,
forbids my going away without saying
to my friends, 'I am proud of your
welcome.' Especially has the press
been very kind to inc."

is understood by both governments and
both peoples to be very friendly."
JAPANESE WANT TO VOXE
Secretary Root Gives Tokyo's Latest
Plan Little Encouragement
WASHINGTON. July 14. — Negotia
tions are pending between this govern
ment and Japan looking to the nat
uralization of Japanese subjects resid
ing in the United States, according to
a letter received from" San Francisco,
which contains copies of cablegrams re
ceived in that city from T. Fujloke of
Tokyo, formerly editor of a Japanese
weekly in New York city. Secretary
Root, however, has given Tokyo very
little encouragement, if Fujloke's word
is to be accepted. He informed his fel
low countrymen in California that Vis
count Has-aehl, the minister of for
eign aff&irs. has informed him that the
reply received from the American state
department is unsatisfactory. The for
eign minister, according to Fujloke, In
timates that it may be necessary for
some subject of the 'mikado to bring
up a test case to ascertain tbe validity
of the antlnaturalization law.

ZIMMER WILL TESTIFY IN
TRIAL OF LOUIS GLASS
Miss Ryan Also to Take the
Stand to Give Evidence
on Halsey's Work
JURY ENJOYS OUTING
Members Are Given Tallyho
Ride to the Beach and
Golden Gate Park
While the testimony of Mayor Box-,
ton connected Theodore V. Halsey with
the bribery of Boxton.\while he was*
supervisor, the prosecution . in the
case of Louie Glass will endeavor. this
week to connect Glass .more closely,
with the operations with w^liich he. is
accused. K. J.'Zimmer, formerly audi
tor of the telephone corporation,, and
j now, with Glass, a vice* president, .will
be, from a legal. standpoint, the , most
important witness to.be .produced, "at
the Glass trial. Interesting, also, 'will
be the testimony of Miss Mary. Ryan,
: a stenographer . in Halsey'-s office, \u25a0 who
heard Interviews between her employer
and Boxton. ".\u25a0>" r .'. . .
Miss Ryan will have whatever .dis
tinction is attached ta being, the first
woman witness in the San Francisco
graft disclosures. Her testimony 'will
be a corroboratipn of vßoxtbn's confer-,
slon relative to. his conferences* with
Halsey In the latter's office. , .. " \u25a0
Zimmer'a story will be highly Impor
tant to the prosecution and it might
be his word that will send his asso
ciate. Glass, to the penitentiary. For
it is alleged that through Zlmmer, then
auditor of the corporation, Glass . had
the $60,000 or $60,000' 0f bribe money
put in the. hands of Halsey. Zlmmer
will swear that he was told by Glass
to give the money secured from the
treasurer of the company to Halsey
and to ask for no voucher, ' '
It is expected that Attorney D/M.
Delmas and his associates on the de
fense will object vigorously to the ad
mission of the testimony of the addi
tional supervisors who have confessed
to receiving money from Halsey, but
Assistant District Attorney Heney will
Insist that the testimony is admissible
as it will give corroboration to Box
ton's story. "\u25a0.-\u25a0.
The Glass Jury spent a day out of
doors yesterday. In the morning, chap
eroned by Bailiff James Ryan of Judge
Lawlor's court, they were taken out to
the* ocean beach In a tallyhq coach. At
noon the party enjoyed a picnic on the
Spring Valley reservation and the re
turn was made through Golden Gate
park, the Jurors listening to the music
of the park band. At 5:30 they retired
to their rooms at the Fairmont.
RUSSIAN GUNBOAT SEIZES
SAN FRANCISCO VESSELS
Con tinned from Page 1, Column 5
ations immediately. The Fremont,
Captain Matison, belonging to the
Union fish company, was already there,
as was the cod 'fisher City, of Papeete.
The latter ship was not gjnolested by
the Russian gunboat. -;\u25a0»-: • \u25a0 .\u25a0
On the morning of July 13 the-Rus
sian boat hove into sight * and r « that
same afternoon 'its officers went aboard
both the Castle and the Spreckels. The
ranking officer, according to Captain
Pedersen, spoke good English and In-,
formed them that they were not al
lowed to fish within 80 miles of the
shore. The. fleet was then, standing
about eight miles from the beach and
the Russian officer ordered them to get
out. The captains disputed the Inter
pretation of the fishing law and pro
tested that they were permitted to; fish
anywhere, provided they were more
than three miles from land. Then their
papers were seized and they were com
manded to clear out of Russian 1 waters
within seven days. '
The commander of the Mandjur, Cap
tain Pedersen said, did hot introduce
himself, but climbed aboard the Castle's
deck and demanded to see the cod
fisher's skipper.
"You can't fish here," were his first
I words. \ . .
Captain Pedersen demanded to. know
who the stranger was and whom he
represented. ?
"The Russian government," said he.
"You can't fish, here, for unless you are
more than 30 miles from land you
are violating the fishing laws." \u0084 *
Captain Durt of the. Spreckels was
aboard Pedersen's ship and both pro
tested that they were allowed to fish
anywhere outside of three miles from
land. With that both were placed un
der arrest and their papers were de
manded. These, included every, of
ficial paper on board, even their com:
missions as captains, were seized.
"If you are not out of hei% when I
come back in seven days,"- said the
Russian, "I'll take you and your crews
and put you in chains."
The Fremont, which was fishing sev
eral miles farther up the coast, was
then visited and its ' papers seized. A
heavy wind blowing the day of. the
Mandjur's visit saved - the * City :of
Papeete from, similar treatment and by
the next morning that y.essel had dis
appeared.
In the Castle's hold when it arrived
here were 18,000- fish, the season's
catch. - The~cargo" of- the Spreckels " is
about the-«€ktne.- This- will -not nearly
pay the expenses of the 'trip and great
financial loss to the owners will result.
United N States. 7 fAttorjoey Rabert.'vT.
Devlin was notified last .night of ; the
affair and will report it to.Washington.
Whether -or not j the vessels were I vio
lating" the - fishing laws will then have
to be determined and \ the matter can
then be ; taken up between - the two
governments. The fishing, fleet was not
due to return until September.

James Crawford
Not the very worst thing ever written
by Bernard Shaw was his review of
"The Heart- of Maryland," when that
American war drama was presented In
London.
He greeted the" play as an eagerly
awaited means of enabling, him,; to re- :
view with lmpunitya strange appeal to
patriotism, and his published 'comments .
would certainly, have resulted In his
arrest for high treason if. their sub- i
Ject had been the union jack instead of ;
the stars and stripes. But : in his mer
ciless way . he gave the British . people
to | understand that the stuff lin ' "The
Heart of Maryland," which \u25a0: he con
demned as twaddle, was elevated to le
gitimacy by comparison with, the clap
trap of which the average English mil
itary melodrama . was composed and
which the English': public ''-'applauded',
enthusiastically.;-.'^^.'' /*t- % : v - V '-;
While witnessing *'?'in ~thie' White
House" yesterday afternoon at; the
Orpheum . my; feelings were somehow
akin to those of Mr. Shaw before they
were relieved by. "The Heart of Mary-"
land." For : the Orpheum's play. ; had
Abraham Lincoln for the central figure,
and the American critic .who would
dare treat the great emancipator as an
ordinary character might, find himself
in danger more; dire than- ever : re
strained Mr. Shaw."- However, " to'- ob
viate possible question . as to my esti
mate of Lincoln as a man' and a presi
dent of a republic during its most try
ing -period, I go onj record as f sharing
the reverence in which his memory is
held not only by every American citi
zen, but by every intelligent thinker
in the universe.
It Is the manner of presenting the
character of ';, Lincoln - that .I . cannot
unreservedly approve. While •; the ex
igencies of vaudeville may demand. the
many arts and tricks of stagecraft em
ployed in the presentation, they do not
dignify it,* but somehow seem. to 1 be : at
variance with the • plainness ., and sim
plicity that were I the'; wari president's
noblest "characteristics. ' Is %it \u25a0". neces-.

Maille ! appeared \ before an examin

thorities only succeeded in extracting
from him a rambling statement about
family v persecution directed against
him. It; was in order to draw public
attention, to his grievances, he said,
that he fired the shots. The prisoner
terminated the examination by an
nouncing his intention to give no
further explanation, as he believed
the magistrate would do nothing to
remedy his wrongs.
President Fallieres has , received
numerous telegrams of congratula

tries on his lucky escape.
The attempts on the life of Fallieres
will • prqbaily strengthen the govern

CELEBRATION UNCHECKED
PARIS, July 14.— Outside of Paris
the antlmllitarlst plans for a general
demonstration today were a dismal
failure, but collisions between po
lice and the workmen at Toulon and
Mrmtpelller were directly due to their
'Inspiration. At Brest the police 'were
forced \u25a0 to occupy the labor exchange
in order to prevent trouble, j^.
As no newspapers were published in
Paris this evening the attempt on the
life of President Fallieres was , not
generally known and the - festivities
,were ; not Interrupted." The theaters
gays their performances as usual.
At midnight the city was brilliantly
illuminated and street balls were again
in full swing.
. . Many 1 towns In the south of Prance
refused to ': celebrate today in accord

grievances of»-the people were re
