No Considerable Anti-Jap
Demonstrations On Pacific
One Mild Outbreak ill Southern California Hut Commercial
Interest* of Japan and Pacific Coast So Mutually In
terdependent That Both Want Harmony
By I,. C. OWKV
Cop?riBhi. 11/24. by The Advane*
San Francisco, June 24.?There Is
no connection between the death* by
violence of throe Japanese in the
Southern part of thin state and the
recent demonstration In which white
residents of a Los Angeles suburb
| tried to compel a Japanese resident
1 to vacate his home. Neither Is
, there any perceptible anti-Japanese
feeling to bo found anywhere in Cal
ifornia. Official word to this effect
in all probability will be cabled to
the Toklo government some time by
the Japanese consul general at San
Francisco.
The (wo Japanese found shot to
death a few days ago nerfr San Pedro
Calif., their faces bearing almost
identical marks of terrible mutila
tion, were slain by their own cou*:
try-men as the result of a feud with
in the "Shakko Party," a Japanese
organization which for years has
controlled gamblng and vice opera
tions among orientals of the Pacific
coast.
The body of a third Japanese,
found crushed to death beneath the
300 foot Arroyo Seco Bridge near
Pasadena, was that of a Japanese
realtor of Los Angeles who took his
own life because of financial rever
ses.
Also the recent attack on a Japa
nese auto dealer In the Belvedere
section of Los Angeles was the culmi
nation of a neighborhood quarrel
which has its incentive Indifferences
between children and was not an
outbreaking of any pronounced anti
Japanese feeling.
These facts have been ascertained
through Independent Investigations
now being made by the Japanese con
sulate general and the Japanese As
sociation of California, which were
launched Immediately following re
ports that the three dead Japanese
might have been victims of racial
JU-feellng occasioned by the Japanese
exclusion act and the consequent
demonstration against Americans In
iToklo.
J "The two Japanese found mur
dered near San Pedro were gambling
house operators who were members
of a clique known as the Shakko
Party, which maintains a gambling
ring on the Pacific coast." Is the
statement of M. Oyama. Japanese
consul general here. "All indica
tions are that they were slain as the
result of a quarrel with other gam
bler members of the same clique
who lured them to a lonely spot near
San Pedro, to carry out the murders.
There Is no connection between their
deaths and the outbreak between
Japanese and Americans In a suburb
of l/os Angeles. The Jspanese body
found beneath a high bridge at Pas
Adena was that of C. Murlyama, Los
Angeles real estate dealer, who re
cently suffered heavy financial loss
es. Indications are that he committed
suicide by Jumping from the bridge.
With the exception of the demon
stration sgalnst Japanese residents
of Los Angeles, there has been no
allowing of other than most friendly
feelings between the Japanese and
American people In California. Neith
er has there been any attempts to
agitate Ill-feeling."
Threats by Japanese to boycott
American goods, reported from To
klo. are meeting with no snch retal
iatory threats In California, although
the situation Is being carefully
watched. The prevailing opinion
here la that Japan would do herself
more harm than wonld the Pacific
coast If wholesale boycott measures
ware adopted, as moat of her exports,

"We will read just tariff rates and
i reduce transportation charges.
"We will lay bare campaign brib
ery and punish election frauds.
"We will go to the relief of dis
tressed agriculture and adopt such
policies and pan* such laws and re
store permanently the purchasing
power of the farmer's dollar.
"We will adopt a progressive re
clamation policy.
"We will pursue the same high
course that has ever Inspired the
leaders of Democracy, uninterrlfied
by those who threatened to destroy,
unmoved by those who seek selfishly
to control.
"Neither the crises of radicalism
nor the threats of conservatism will
swerve us from our fixed purpose.
Democracy is the right way. It Is
the party that offers the safe mid
dle course, patronizing no 'isms' and
paying tribute to no extremes."
The Democratic convention came
to order for its first session at 12:43
o'clock after delaying the opening
to allow the police to straighten out
the traffic Jam outside which was
keeping hundreds of delegates and
visitors from the hall.
Chairman Cordell Hull, looking

At a meeting of the 8an Francisco
