THE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, JULY 21, 1920 a, NEW BILL TO LIMIT MS BY PASSPORT House Committee on Coast Is Preparing Measure. PROBATION ALSO PLANNED Immigrants Will Be Permitted Def iuite Period to Become Amer icanized, Says Solon. SAN FRANCISCO, July 20. The house committee on immigration and naturalization is preparing a bill which shall restrict all immigration to the passport method and to a "proba tionary plan," whereby the immigrant must attest ii writing his determina tion to abide by the laws of the coun try. Chairman Albert Johnson of the committee told a luncheon gathering at the quarters of the Chinese Six companies here today. In regard to the proposed bill John son said that the passports would be for a limited period and would be for the use of lawyers, doctors, stu dents and others exempted from the usual immigration agreements. Profesaors Are Wanted. "We want the students, doctors and other professional and business men to feel that tney can come and go freely." he said. "The probationary plan," he said, provided for the usual immigrant classes. It would give them a certain period to accept the country's laws and customs and the government a certain period to determine if they were desirable, he said. PROBERS PLEAD FOR TIME Committee Wants Diplomatic Solu tion of Japanese Problem. SAN FRANCISCO, July 30. The people of California wore urged to be patient in regard to the Japanese im migration problem "until a real dip lomatic solution can be reached," by Chairman Albert Johnson of the house committee on immigration and nat uralization which is conducting an cdjoumed hearing on the problem hero today. Dr. Harvev H. Guy of San Fran cisco, and a worker among the Jap anese as a missionary for SO years lold the committee as a witness that the Japanese now here should be treated considerately "to hasten the Assimilation nrccess." He said he was opposed to intermarriage, how ever. "The Japanese who are here and can qualify should be permitted to become citizens, he salu. Soldiers CrunM Out. The Japanese appear to be sur rounding tho soldier farm settlement at Delhi, Merced county, and every possible measure should be taken to st"" them, according to testimony of fered by Thomas W. McManus of Bakersfield, chairman of the national committee on oriental legislation of the American Legion. The committee was urged by E. Clemens Horst of Sar. Francisco, an extensive hop grower, to stop all im migration, "as there is plenty of labor tor the farms when that labor is properly taken care of." He criti cised the present initiative move ment against the Japanese in the state as "ill advised." "The land that the Japanese will leave if they are driver, off must be taken cure of and who is going to do it?" he asked. T. Konno, secretary of tho Japan ese agricultural association of Cali fornia, testified th&t in 1P12 there were 4500 and in 1918 there were ID. 043 Japanese faimers in the state. The number of Japanese farm hands in the latter year was 1S.S6S, he testified. Market Control Denied. When Konno stated that the Japan ese agricultural association did not control any markets, as asserted by former witnesses. Chairman Johnson caid there was no need to discuss that point, as mirkst conditions would be tr.ken up at hearings in Seattle Mrs. Edward F. Scanlan, president of the state housewives' league, de clared that the Japanese had taken possession of a residence district in San I tancisco with the result that surrounding property values depre dated. She charged that Chinese children attended epec-ial oriental scl'ocls established in the city, but that the Japanese "refused to stay where they beloi.ged, ' and attended American -schools. side, where it could be built along the Bull Run pipeline. . Messrs. . La Roche, Mann and Moser asked that the highway commission defer mak ing a selection until a survey has been made of the possibilities of a road on the north side, as compared with the south side. The commission has a detailed survey of the latter. Thomas Ryan and Grant Dimick. both former judges of Clackamas county, and Judge Anderson, incum bent, and the county commissioners urged that a route on the south side be selected. Their contention was supported by a hundred or more men and women taxpayers of Clackamas county not one of whom favored the north side. George Joseph argued for the south side and so did Judge Stapleton, the latter saying he spoke for the taxpayers of Portland. On the other hand, Mr. Mann said he spoke for the city of Portland and Senator Moser declared he represent ed his constituents in Multnomah and the Multnomah commissioners. Various Pleas Presented. The arguments of Messrs. Mann, Moser and LaRoche summarized were: The north side road is about half a mile shorter than the south side; there Is a river grade of 1 per cent; there is unlimited sand and gravel for road building; it saves three miles of construction by Multnomah county; Portland and" Multnomah should be considered and the north route se lected for their benefit; the sunny ex posure on the north side would, keep the snow off longer than on the shad ed south eide. Advocates of the south side asserted that the assessed valuation of the im mediate district on the south side is $1,118,512, while on the north side the valuation is $497,520; that the county has J20.000 of market road money for a south side road, and $7000 from road districts; that districts on the south side are paying a 20-mill road tax; that right of way would be provided gratis for the south side, and that there was never any question that the south side route would be selected until a few months ago. "Gallery" Is Demonstrative. The "gallery" was scornful of the north side advocates. When Mr. La Roche painted a vivid picture of'"for- ests of grain" on the north side, the audience burst into howls of derision and a voice declared that "all the grain on the north side could be threshed in three days." Captain Nixon took the floor and asserted that Commissioner Mann Interfered when Clackamas county was pre paring for its bond issue and wanted money set aside for the north side road. "And when he was turned down, Mann served notice o us, charged the speaker, "that he'd get even with us some day!" So far as Clackamas county is concerned, it was argued, if the road is run on the north side of Sandy river it might just as well be on the north side of the Columbia. Members of the highway commis sion gave no intimation as to their personal preferences, but announced that the subject would be taken un der advisement. The .commission sold $1,500,000 worth f 4V4 per cent road bonds to Henry Teal, a local dealer, for $1,315,- 200. This is at the rate of 89.34 as against the high bid of 87.62 when the previous batch of bonds was sold a few weeks ago. It means $17.20 more per $1000 than the previous sale, These road bonds will net the in vestor about 5 per cent. The sale indicated that the bond market is im proving. Protest Is Withdrawn. A. D. Leedy. former district attor ney of Grant county, presented a pro test against awarding a contract for tne tioldson- section of the Florence highway, the "low" pass of long dis pute, but withdrew his protest before action was taken thereon. Commis- JACK JUHNSDFJ IS OF 0. S. PRISONER Negro Pugilist Welcomed at Border by Officials. YEAR IN JAIL OVERDUE JUDGE DENIES JAPANESE VOTE Soldier of Hawaiian Infantry Loses Court Fight in California. SACRAMENTO. Cal., July 20. The petition of Ichizo Sato, Japanese, and former private in Company D, Second Infantry, Hawa-ii, to force County Clerk Harry Hall by writ of mandate to register him as a voter of Sacra mento county was denied by Superior Judge C. O. Busick today on the ground that he is ineligible to become a citizen. The contention of Judge Busick lis that naturalization is open to only aliens who are free white persons and Japanese are not such. The war time naturalization act says "any alien" who served a specified time in the army or navy or on merchant or fishing vessels of the United States during the war may be naturalized by iuing a petition. The court held tha the term "any aliens" is not broad enough to warrant the naturalization of aliens who are not white persons. ROAD FACTIONS BATTLE fContlnued From First PasrO Ex-Champion to Leave for Chicago, From Where He Fled Five Years Ago. LOS ANGELES. July 20. Jack Johnson, former heavyweight cham pion pugilist of the world, who crossed he international boundary line from lower California today, was brought here tonight from San Diego by authorities and wax placed in the county jail. He probably will leave here in the custody of federal officers tomorrow night for Chicago to begin ervlng his sentence of one year for violation of the Mann act. He has been a fugitive from United States justice for about five years; The negro prize fighter made the rip here by automobile. He was in the custody of Sheriff John C. Cline of Los Angeles county and Deputy United States Marshal George Cooley of San Diego, to whom he surrendered when he entered the United States. Sheriff Cline said tonight that Johnson was not handcuffed at an time. Fear that he would be hand cuffed had deterred Johnson from surrender for several days, the sheriff said. According to Sheriff Cline, Johnson said he was so glad to be back in the United States he was willing to pass a year in jail. It was thought Johnson would be taken before a United States judge tomorrow and an order of removal to Chicago would be issued immediately. SLAVERY CHARGE IS PROVED Mann Act Violation Causes Forfeit. ure of $15,000 Bond. CHICAGO, July 20. The United States district attorney's office in Chicago announced today on receipt of advice that Jack Johnson had been arrested near San Diego that no action would be taken until Johnson was brought back here. Johnson was convicted about five years ago for violation of the Mann act for the transportation of Bertha Schreiber from Pittsburg to Chicago for immoral purposes. He was sen tenced to serve one year in the house of correction, following which the decision was affirmed by the United States appellate court. Then John son vanished, forfeiting his $15,000 bond. L XEW EMERGENCY ORDERS IS SUED BY COMMISSION'. and supplies can be brought in for the six-mile strip. Under the orig inal agreement the road in the for est was on a 60-50 basis with the government, and the mile and a half outside will be financed by the state, with the expectation that Hood River county will pay its share. Another plea of the forest service met with kindly consideration. Philip Dator explained that for $72,500 the government could gravel 15 miles and grade two and a half miles of the Mackenzie road from Blue River to Belknap Springs, and take out the kworst grade on Dead Horse hill. The contract for construction will be let this year, just as in the case of the link in the Mount Hood loop. In'terrntvin Road Keen. Mount Hood towered above all other subjects at yesterday's' meet ing of the commission. Sco,res of people were present from Oregon City, Estacada, Sandy, Cherryville and Brightwood, and they all de manded that the commission run the loop section on the south side of the .Sandy river. Against this array of farmers, merchants, hotel men and county officials were City Attorney LaRoche, City Commissioner Mann and Gus C. Moser, who argued that! sioner Booth said he understood tha Mr. Leedy's action was taken in the pirit of hartnony and for the sake o good fellowship he proposed that the matter of letting the contract, with regard to legal points, be submitted o the attorney-general for an opin on. This motion was carried. There were several bids submitted for this od, the lowest being that of Wash burn & Hall for $121,819.60. Grant county fared prettv well a the meeting. The commission ordered tne grading of 4 miles of the John Day highway, west of the town of jonn Day, between Coles bridge and Canby ranch. It is to be graveled id teet in wiatn. Also on this high way in this county a bridge was or dered across the south fork of the John Day at Dayville. There wil have to be about five bridges built between Spray and Valades ranch on this highway in Grant county, and the commission directed that plans be prepared as soon as possible Judge's Plans Upset. Judge Phy. of Union, had exacted a dicker with the commission for the grading of tne Old Oregon trail ove tne hump from Kamela to Hilgard, wnen ounty Commissioner Townle upset his plans by insisting that the grade would be worthless without rock surface and he Dreferred th me mil oe left as it is and the com mission work on another section in tne county.- Until the county judge and county commissioner can agree as to what they want the highway commission will take no action. Un ion county was prepared to finance many miles of highway work this summer, but the recent bond decision of the Oregon supreme court left tho county destitute of funds with which to carry out the proposed programme. negiraing uoos county the com mission went on record confirming its previous policy as follows Th Coquille-Myrtle Point section of the coos uay-Roseburg highway is of suf- nciem importance to warrant paving when funds are available. The policy of the commission is to continue grad ing on the road until grp.de and sur facing with gravel or macadam is completed. Important Contracts Let. The commission awarded to S. L. Goddard the contract for culverts be tween Comstock and the I.ane county line on the Pacific highway for $4461.21.
