An anti-Japaneso riot lias occurred here. It arose through a drunken white man breaking tho window of a> Japanese laundry. The owner seized and detained him and summoned tho police. Tho drunkard's friends collected a mob, which-destroyed tho laundry. Two'Japaneso wero sent to tho hospital, severely injured. Ten others aro badly hurt. In dispersing the mob the police used their batons freoly, and twenty whites were rathor soveroly clubbed. Our American correspondent, on another r.age, discusscs the whole situation on the Coast. His judgment is that "tho task of assimilating Asiatics with our peoplo is beyond the capacity of even a country, that has received tliis year not less than 1,285,349 immigrants from other lands. War or no war, the Japs will continue to receive our disfavour, ana bo discriminated against in a policy of self-protection."
