DYNAMITE PLOT AGAINST JAPANESE

Thirteen Sticks, With Fuse Attached, Found Concealed in Blaine Cannery -- Sheriff Investigating.

BELLINGHAM, Tuesday, Aug. 10. -- Thirteen sticks of dynamite, to which a long fuse was attached, were found today concealed in the wharf of the fish cannery of J.E. Smiley & Co., of Blaine. The explosive was placed near the cannery bunkhouse, where twenty-five Japanese sleep.

Sheriff Wilson Stewart left today to investigate the incident, which he believes to be connected with anti-Japanese agitation at Blaine. Two weeks ago the water main was blown up and a placard was posted near the scene bearing the warning that if the Japanese in the canneries were not discharged "something worse" would happen.
