Washington, Juno 11. Thousands of dollars ;iro beii" raised by the Japanese of the Ia title coast lo carry out the coiupru t fiey have entered Into mi th the Progressive party of Japan for the overthrow of the Salonji ministry, the annulment of the exclusion clauso in the immigration bill, and the guarantee of the naturalization rights of the Japanese subjects residing in this country. These additional facts in the international plot are vouched for In sciul-ollicial circles here. The fund which is being collected will be used to arouse a feeling in the Japanese empire antagonistic to the United States government. Pacts in Black, and "White. Notwithstanding a sweeping denial of the existence of an aliance between the Japanese of the Pacific coast and the Progressives, the antiadministration party of Japan, given out by Charles Takahashi, of Seattle, Wash., the Associated Tress party in Japan the Associated Press has secured the texts of certain reports which he forwarded to Yamaoka in Seattle and to the Japanese society of Seattle. In one of the reports, which it was authoritatively stated was afterwards read by Takahashi at a secret mass meeting of Japanese in Seattle on the evening of May 20, he quotes Ambassador Aoki's statements in regard to the relations between the United States and Japan growing out of the recent disturbances in San Francisco and the adoption by the congress of the United States of the immigration law excluding coolie labor from continental United States. Takahashi States His Case. Takahashi's report, in part, is as follows: "My object in discussing the Japanese immigration limitation law with Ambassador Aoki, was: First The nullification of the present Immigration limitation law. Second Opposing the would-be immigration law (proposed new treaty) said to be contemplated by Japan and the United States. Third Acquiescence In the Japanese naturalization rights In the United States. .What Ambassador Aoki Said. , "To these discussions Ambassador Aoki, said: 'Japan has ample grounds to oppose the Immigration limitation law, but if we go to extremes I fear war. Regarding thla Japanese limitation law the Japanese government absolutely disagrees with the United States and will ask the naturalization rights for the Japapese people, which the United States government will have to eventually grant At present the re-election of a presi
dent Is neaiing, so we are hesitating
at this time to bring up these questions, which are unpopular in American politics.' " CAXXOT MAKE 'KM "JIBE"
Statements Made by the Ambassador
and by Secretary Straus. The report then proceeds as follows: "What we must call especial attention
to is the fundamental antagonistic
statements that the embassy made
compared with those of Secretary
Straus (interview on May 7(. W
cannot ourselves be satisfied with such uncertainty and the contradictory statements." Before the de
parture of Takahashi from this city he sent to Yamaoka, who had not then
sailed for Japan, a report in which, he
told of a conference with Secretary
of Commerce and Labor Straus on
Mar T.regarding the immigration laws.
In this report Takahashi quoted.
statements made by Secretary Straus which he said were directly contrary
to those made by Ambassador Aoki as
to the agreement of the two govern
ments on the clause excluding Jap
anese coolie laborers from this country. "Secretary Straus," the leport says, "told us the exclusion clause in the immigration bill, as well as tha rule promulgated by the department of commerce and labor on March 22. were made with the consent of the Japanese embassy and the Japanese government. ' "Compare my previous telegrams and reports, and you can clearly see the difference and contradiction "from what was assured to us by Ambassador Aoki and Counsellor Miyaoka. of the embassy. The Japanese ambassador, as we have stated in our telegrams and reports, assured us that the Japanese government never for one moment agreed with the limitation of immigration as presented to us today." It was after the interview with See retary Straus that Takahashi and Kawakami received an invitation from Viscount Aoki to dine at the embassy. Takahashi's answer, it is stated, was: "We did not come to eat. but ir settle grave diplomatic questions." Just before Y'amaoka's departure for Tokio on May 14 -Takahashi sent him a telegram from Washington, as follows: "Depart for Japan Instantly and
arouse public opinion as -we under
stood before. There is no hope with
the Japanese embassy here'
Continuing his policy of adding
nothing in the wav of comment or fact
to the discussion of Japanese-United
States Incident Viscount Aoki. the
Japanese ambassador, as usual denied
himself to newspaper men, and pro
claimed against any statement emanating from the embassy relative to the reported development of strength ia the opposition party in Japan. CONSPIRACY OF MINE OWNERS

Case as Shown by Their Examination of Orchard. P.oise. Ida., June 11. Into the fur
ther cross-examination of Harry Or

the murder of Detective Gregory.

Judge Rales Out a Bic Bunch of Testimony In the Schmitz Ex- "" tortion Case. San Francisco, June. 11. An important ruling by Judge Dunne In favor of the defense brought to a sudden and premature close the case of the prosecution against Mayor Schmitz for extortion. The defense, taken by surprise, was not ready to begin the introduction of evidence, so Campbell made the opening address to the jury in behalf of the mayor and adjournment was ordered for the day. The ruling by Judge Dunne that resulted in cutting short the states' case, was the sustaining of an objection to the Introduction of a mass of testimony tending to show that the mayor had made a common practice of playing fast and loose with restaurant and saloon licenses and had ordered a number of them held up out of ulterior motives.
