THE MORNING OREGOXIAJf, SATURDAY, JANUARY 23, llKW. HO HOSTILE LAWS TO ANGER J Flint Fears Nothing From Cal . ifornia, but Says Japs Still Swarm In. KNOX STUDYING PROBLEM txjMfts It Will Conic lp Asa In as White and Brown Labor Con flict, bat Storm Has Blown Over. WASHINGTON. Jan. 22. "Is the situa tion In California as serious aa would ap pear from the daily dispatches and the activity of the administration In endea voring to suppress the antl-Japaneee legis lation r Senator Flint, of California, waa asked today. "Yes and no." replied ilr. Flint. "I , don't think there is any danrpr of a break with Japan at the present time. Neither do I think that any hostile legis lation will be passed now by our Legis lature, but the question Is one that will have to be dealt with in the future. Thre Iff no doubt that Japanese are still coming to thiai country in large numbers. I know that many people are giving out tteurcs to prove the contrary, but the Japanese are there and their number ia growing." Question Will Come l"p Again. Senator Knox Is concerning himself with the Japanese situation with a view to becoming thoroughly conversant with the aubject. He regards the question as one of great moment requiring Infinite deli cacy and tact In approaching a solution. He consider the question one that cannot disposed of at this time and one that 1.- liable to come to the surface again and fli'aln. as Japanese labor cornea Into con flict with American labor on the Pacific Coast. Thinks Danger Is Past. The Japanese situation has cleared up so rapidly that it did not occupy much time at the White House today. The Tresldent apparently feels confident, from information he has from California, that fiate legislation antagonistic to the Japanese- will be suspended for two years at least and that friction between the two countrlw will be obviated. At the Cabinet meeting there waa little refernee to the subject. Secretary Straus maintained that his figures as to a decrease In the Japanese Immigatlon to thla country were absolutely correct. The Cabinet meeting was unusually short. The President had a visit from ex Mayor James P. rheiah. of Sen Francisco, who Introduced several official of that city. The President talked with them on the subject, but the conversation de veloped no new farts. MICH CHATTER FOR XOTHIXG Commotion About Anti-Japanese Bills Declared Foolish. PAN FRANCIPCO. Jan. 22. (Special.) I'nder the caption of . "Too Much Japanese Chatter." the Chronicle this morning prints an editorial, from which the following are extracts: "When one sees how big a commotion can be stirred up about a matter of al most no consequence, he has reason to doubt whether, after all. man can be properly ea tfd a reasoning animal. None of the bills bearing on the status of Orientals In this state should have been Introduced in our Legislature. Not one of them will become a law. As to most of them. If enacted and placed upon the statute book. they would be no better than so much waste paper, because thev contravene the treaty rights of the Orientals con cerned. "It Is probable that the Japanese au thorities would have paid no attention to them which would have been wisest except from the outcry of the Japa nese Jingoes. The President's letter was Imprudent. That was one of the cases when it was better to send a man across the continent than . to write a letter or send a telegram. The natural course of those bills was to die. at Iat to all appearance, a natural death. They were foolish bills, but the out- rv about them has been still more foolish. "The bills were foolish because un necessary. From the standpoint of the P.-.c!fic Coast, the danger In these bills is not what Japan may do. but wh.-.t the Eastern Vnited States may do. and the chances are most excellent that the passage of any of those hills would re sult in the entire abandonment of our cause by the general Government, which is at present squarely with us." MIKADO PLANS ECONOMY Diet Hears of National Finances and Retrenchment Needs. TOKIO. Jan. 22. The hurteet committee of the Diet yesterday listened to state ments from various members of the Cabi net regarding the plans for economy of expenditures which the government has mapped out. In accepting the suggf-stlon . that the Premier had postponed expendi tures amounting to 7.XW yen. Viscount Terauchl, the Secretary of War. said that his department Is endeavoring to de crease expenditures. Terauchl laughingly said: "We are doing thle because It is desir able to disabuse the mind of the world of the Idea that Japan Is persisting in warlike preparations. " Vioe-Admiral Makoto S.ilto said that decr-ases amounting to nearly .. yen would 1 made In the Department of Marine, of which he Is secretary. He as serted that It Is absolutly nectseary for 'Japan to maintain a standard navy, but lint th financial condition of the coun trv made t!i? present economies unavoid- I BAY CITY MEN SKND PROTEST Business Men Returned From Japan Object to Bills. SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 22. A strong protect against anti-Japanese legislation lias ben sent to members of botii houses I'V the San Francisco business men who recently returned from an extended visit at the invitation of various Japanese com mercial organizations, to Japan. The protest is conveyed in a letter addressed to the President and Speaker of the House, and to all members of both houses, and Is signed by the eight San Francisco men who made the trans-Pa-clfi- trip. The letter is as follows: "We. of the commercial committee of the Chamber of Commerce, who re cently visited Japan, beg to protest against the proposed anti-Japanese legis lation now pending before your honorable body and as forcibly as possible to dl ' rect your attention to President Roose velt's letter of January 16. 1309. to Gov- rnnr Glllett. regarding ald proposed leg- Ulatlon. 'Durtnit our visit to Japan we paid particular attention to the position of the Japanese emigration question, and from what e ascertained we are strongly of the opinion that the Emperor and the government officials in Japan are acting In absolute good faith regarding the re striction of Japanese immigration Into the United States. We firmly believe that nny action by the Legislature which Is directed at the Japanese residents of this state will be taken aa an affront by the entire Japan ese nation. "The Oriental trade passing through the ports of this state has assumed larse proportions, and Is likely to be seriously crippled by such proposed action. "We. therefore, respectfully request that the action on any of these bills that affect the Japanese people be deferred Indefinitely as being unwise and Injudicious." Los Anpeles Also Protests. ! LOS ANGELES. Cal.. Jan. :i The Mer ' chants" and Manufacturers' Association of this city passed resolutions strongly con demning the efforts being made in Sacra mento to pass legislation affecting the rights of aliens, especially Japanese. The resolution asserts that the Federal Gov ernment is fully able to cope with the questions involved and urgently requests members of the Legislature to vote against the Drew bill and other measures before the California Legislature.

Stood for Honest Method on the Track. and Waa Expert Judge of Horses. OAKLAND, Cal., Jan. 22. Horace Eg bert, known throughout the country as a turf writer and racetrack handlcapper. died today at his home here. In the passing of Horace Egbert thoroughbred racing has lost one of its staunchest friends. He accepted the gambling part of racing, but personally be was against it. and against the crooks that used a thoroughbred racehorse as a mere gambling tool. No better Judge of racehorse, its .performance and its possibilities was there In any country than Horace Egbert. As a handlcapper he ranked with the best in the country. nd the best proof of his sterling hon esty is that he died comparatively poor. As a steward and handlcapper of the New California Jockey Club, a position which he held until his illness forced him to quit, and as handlcapper and pre siding Judge of racing at Portland when flourished here, at Seattle and else where, he could, had he chosen to stand for anything but clean racing, have en riched his estate by many thousands of dollars. In Portland and elsewhere where he waa known Mr.' Egbert had many friends. They, while they knew that he was strlckcp months ago with an illness from which there was no escape, will be shocked at the announcement of his death. Horace Egbert was not a mere racing man, he was1 a student, a lover of art and a gTeat lover of literature and music. Only those who knew him best knew of these traits, for he never pa raded them. Unlike most men who fol- ow the racing profession, when away from the track he could talk about other things than racing and he was one of the most delightful and lovable of compan ions. His great sympathy was with the poor devil whose racing stable had gone wrong, provided he raced on the square. and with the old-timer who had bad horses. When it came to making a racing pro gramme Horace Egbert knew better than the owner Just what his horses could do. and he usually saw to it that condi tions were so made as to give the horses a chance to win. Truly. It can be said of Horace Egbert. "He will be missed." COSGROVE STARTS NORTH (Continued from First Page.) of a bridge and the weakening of tracks by the high waters. An auto matic heater has been Installed In the car. By a regulator the car can be kept at any given temperature. Two servants accompany the car to attend to the wants of the party. An effort to interview the Governor on matters that are pending: before the present Legislature, such as the local opuon bill met with a polite re fusal. Leave Everything to Hay. "I would have to see the bill first," was all that he would say. "I have not been able to follow Washington legisla tion at this distance and am not in any position to talk about the matter." Then he was asked about the anti racing legislation and his only answer was to throw up both hands and shrug his shoulders. As to appointments that have been made, and are still to be made, he said that he could give no infor mation until after he had had an op portunity to go over the situation care fully with the Lieutenant-Governor. He intimated that Mr. Hay would be left to handle the- situation, but when' asked if he would Insist on certain ap- polnrments being made, declared that he did not wish to be Interviewed on that subject. He consented to talk to newspaper men tonight and even to being photographed inside the car, but his face looks drawn and he shows the effect of the siege which he has been through the last few months.

FIRES TWICE AT BURGLAR Sidney Horn Falls to Wound Intru der, Who Escapes. Two shots. were fired at a burglar last night by Sidney Horn, who discovered the robber in the basement of his home, at 49 Chapman street. The Intruder made good his escape and It Is not oeuevea that he was wounded. His operations had been confined to the basement and nothing was stolen. Strangely enough, Mr. Horn waa tea to the discovery of the burglar by the report that the residence of Arthur King, 471 Chapman street, had been entered by thieves, although this report later proved unfounded. A youth, who rooms in the King dwelling, came home at 11 o'clock and found the family absent. Noticing that several bureau drawers had been pulled out, the young man concluded a burglary had occurred. He hastened to secure the assistance of Mr. Horn, who armed himself and started for the King home. Just as h was leaving, he heard the burglar In his own basement and opened fire on him. When Mr. King and his family returned they said that there was no evidence that their residence had been entered and that they had left hurriedly .earlier In the evening and themselves left the house somewhat in disorder. TIDE HIGHEST YET KNOWN (Continued from First Page.) town, and It aggravated the flood waters from the rivers to such an extent that the lower Sherman Island levee broke and 4500 acres of potatoes were flooded. Aside from the delay to shipping, California re ports no further damage. Reports from Hoquiam and Aberdeen are that the tides were unusually hlgii over Grays Harbor. Wires were down to' Tillamook, and no report was received from there, but a message from Seaside says no gale was felt there and the tide was not unusually high. Marshfleld suffered more than any other point along the coast, according to reports received last night by The Oregonian. The eight people who were swamped in a launch belonging to the Coos Bay & Coqullle Transportation Company are reported to be marooned on a sand dune north of the Coqullle River. A cold wind was blowing and unless soon rescued the suffering must have been severe. All wires south of Marshfleld are down. The eight unfortunate passengers were all strangers to Marshfleld. Floods have washed away great portions of the rail road between Marshfleld and Coos Bay, and these people boarded the launch ex pecting to make the trip to the county seat by water. The dykes in South Marshfleld were torn away by the high tide, and water now fills the lower portion of the city, making a lake 15 acres In extent. The tide yesterday flooded the first floor of 50 or 60 dwelling houses, which are built on piling near the dykes. It will be several days before the water can be drained from the streets. There is grave danger that If the storm continues the other portions of the dyke will be carried away and greater damage done.. Workmen are busy now constructing bulkheads to combat the terrors of the breakers. The high tide at Marshfleld yester day was preceded by a heavy south west wind. Astoria reports that Thursday's high, tide was a record-breaker, so far as can be learned, although about 23 years ago there was what was called a tidal wave which banked up the water to a greater height for a short time, but It was thought to have been the result of an earthquake at sea. Friday's tide, while unusually high, was considerably lower than Thursday's and the tide lands were again flooded through the broken dikes, but so far as reported no additional dam age of note was done.

Affected, Too Could Hot Movi Thumbs Without Flesh Cracking Sleep and Work Often Impos sible Was Fairly Worn Outa CUTICURA SOON CURED HIS FEARFUL ECZEIW "About a year ago an Itching htimot oegan to appear around the back of mi hand. . It Btarted in to spread, ana pretty soon it covered both my handi and got up over my wrists and everj up to the elbows. The itching ana burning were terrible. My hands got all scaly and when I scratched, as 1 was doing a good part of the time, th surface would be covered with blister! and then get raw. The eczema got so bad in around the pit of my thumb that I could not move the thumbr without deep cracks appearing. I went to my doctor, but his modicine oould only stop the itching and did not 6eem to heal my hands up at all. At night I suffered so fearfully that I tould no sleep, often lying awake until well toward morning, then waking up still tired, I am a chef and steward by trade and I had to give up my place, as my hands were so terrible to look at that they did not liko to have me around about the food. I could not bear to touch them with water, but when I positively had to get my hands clean I would rub them with oil. "This sort of business wen on for three months and I kept trying zino and tar ointments and such remedies with no particular benefit. I did no know what to do, for I was fairly worn out. For a long time several friends kept asking me why I didn't use Cuti cura and at last I thought I would. First I got the Cuticura Soap, then Cuticura Ointment and at last Cuticura Resolvent. I put the Cuticura Oint ment on at night, covering my hands with light cotton gloves. In the morn ing" the inside of the gloves would be lined with Ecales, sometimes half as long as your finger, leaving nice healed places where the scales had been. In a month I was cured and have kep so now for nine months. My hands and arms are perfectly clear of all traces of eczema and I think I am well rid of it. Walter H.

OorrfATV Pe-mMe No Rest Day or Night "I would lay awake for hours without any apparent cause, or dream terrible dreams which would bring on extreme spells of nervousness. After taking Dr. Miles' Nervine and Tonic for awhile I could sleep well, and the nervous spells have left me." MISS ALMA HUG, R. R, No. 4, Canal Dover, Ohio. Without sleep the nervous system soon becomes a wreck, and the healthful activity of all the organs obstructed. Restful, body-building sleep accompanies the use of Dr. Miles' Nervine because it soothes the irritable nerves, and restores nervou3 energy. When taken a few days according to directions, the most restless sufferer will find sleep natural and healthful. Get a bottle from your druggist. Take it all according to directions, and if it does not benefit he will re turn your money. BE ONE OF . A HDRED ASK 'COLUMBIA.
