"Porker" is Forced
To Refund Money
The city authorities yesterday
nabbed a pork peddler who had been
freely disposing of "hams" at a price
considerably over the local price and
at the same time dealing in short
weights. It-appears that the peddler
visited a large number of homes in
the community displaying what lie
called small hams at the bargain
price of 35 cents per pound. The
hams ' were supposed to weigh
eight pounds each, and a great many
were sold. Purchasers upen Invesil
gating found that they had bought
what is commonly known as a "pic
nic ham," and which can be bought
for about 28 cents In the local mar
ket. In "weighing In the "hams
were found to be about Ave pounds
each. Complaints were received by
tho officials and the offender was
forced to pay back to his patrons the
difference in the price of an eight
pound and a five pound bam.

New Punishment
For Home Wrecker
A new and satisfactory way in
which to punish the home wrecker
has been put Into use by a Camaa
alley rancher, who has reported the
loss of his wife to tho local authori
ties. A few days ago the rancher.
afu-r completing a day's work In the
ueius, returned home to find his wife
missing. Thinking that she had gono
to the nearby blackberry patch to
secure a quantity of berries, he start
ed out to find her. Quietly working

grass covered spot whore he found

V. 1th a hollow of rage the husband
started forward, but bis would-be
victim, with a scared loi,k. lumned in
his feet and started orf through the
blackberry bushes. Unhindered bv
clothing, he made good speed, but In
his haste left largo natcher of hide
hanging on numnrous thorns. After
continuing his flight through about
an aero of berry vines with the rag-
ng nusbann in close pursuit, the
floor reached the river well In tho
load of hia pursuer, but with tho
blood running in streams from all
portions ot his body, leaped Into and

had escaped, the husband returned to

unable to locale his neighbor, and
upon returning home found that his

CALIFORNIA VS.
INVASION OF JAPS
Opposition is Not Based on
III Will But on Social and
Political Grounds.
WANTS LAW AMENDED
State Controller ChamberaAddreaac
Klwanla Club In Son Francisco
Today and Tells of Japan's ' 1
Itise and Power.
By iHtcliM fim
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 26. The
attitude ot California In opposition
to the further coming ot Japanese
to America, is not based upon ill
will or hostility to Japanese as Jap
anese, but Is based solely upon '
economic, social and political
grounds. John S. Chambers, state
controller, declared here today In
an address before the Klwants club
il' San Francisco. The greatness '
of Japan as a nation, and the '
achievements of the Japanese along
Hues of urt and Industry are recog
nized, he declared. lie discussed .
the proposed Initiative measure, to
be voted upon at the November
olectlon, to amend the California
alien land law.
"Tho Initiative measure now be- '
fore the people ot the State to fur
ther strengthen our land laws
against aliens, will go about as far
as California can go," Chambers -said.
"The balance dt the problem
must be solved by the federal gov- ;
erumont. The Initiative measure,
which would forbid leasing as well
as land owning by Japanese and put
nn end to thoir evasions ot our ,
laws through the manipulation ot
minor Japanese children, born here
and therefore citizens, and ot cor- .
poratlons through dummy white di
rectors, would In no other way af- ..
feet the status ot Japanese now In
California, whether they had enter- .
ed this state legally or otherwise;
nor would It alffoct the labor pro-,
blom In California. "There would.
never be fewer Japanese than vow;
their birth rate would keep their
population growing. .
': "It Is a well known tact that' the
Japanese as laborers are of little
service to the white farmers of
California. They first demand the
shares df crops for labor, and tben .
leases; and then, if It can be done
by hook or crook, obtain ownership
of the land." 1
Discussing Japan's rise In power :
and the Japanese conquest ot Korea ;
and Shantung, seizure of Vladlvo- '
stok and Saghalien, and treatment
of China in gonornl. Chambers said.
"It Is clearly obvious that Japan i
plana to dominate he Orient and
that it Is the purpose lo do so by
forcibly seizure: She now controls
every eastern gate to Asia. It ap- '
pears equally obvious that It I also
Japan's plan to dominate the Amur- -
lean side ot the Pacific, with the ,
llfference that on this side df the
ocean the conquest Is planned thru
colonization, through peaceful pone
Intllon, until at least by having .
gained economic ascendency and .
sufficient citizenship through a .
high birth rate she would also have i
political control. '
'Two motives are forcing Japan
In her scheme for domination. One
Is militaristic and imperialistic. The
other is economie '
"Ft bis been argued that - the '
number of Japanese in this State Is ;
not sufficient to Cause alarm. Even
wero the Japanese population here
scattered, there would be a real '
basis ifor alarm, becnuse of their '-
astor.tshlnoly high birth rate, their
Immigration, their methods and '
their standards of Ilfo and work.
Hut It Is particularly alarming when
we boar in mind the policy of the
Japanese to settle In colonies, as a
rule In the richest sections ot the
fitato, thus driving out the white
populntlon and gaining control of .
tho land through crop contracts,
leases and ownorBhlp. Today they
olthor own or control 4li8, 0K1 acres.
an increase In ton year of 412.S
per cent - - -
"Tho point Is not whether there
are 85.00U or 250,000 Japaneso In
California. or whether they now con
trol or own 100,000 acres of 1,000,
000 acres. The point Is that they
are now here In sufficient numbers
rind have acquired control df a suf- '
flrlont acreage to demonstrate by
'heir manner of life and Industry,
their characteristics, their birth
rate. and policies, that they are em--phatlcally
a menace to California,
tp the white rare on the coast and
eventually, unless checked, to the
nation at lnrge.
"Tho time hax come when the na
tion must rive to Iho world another
