Oui time to allot to the senate for III
consideration end passage, and unless

The bill, na approved by President

California Urged Is Act Cautiously
Following the prcedent of previous
administrations Secretary Tlryan In a
telegram to Governor Johnson ex
pressed the view of president Wilson
that the California assembly measure
might be construed as a violation of
tresty obligations with Japan, while
the senate's measure as drawn would
not he objectionable, If alien land leg
islation Is to be enacted at all.
In this the federal government rec
ognlies the sovereign right of Califor
nia to legislate according to Its own
Judgment, but the message counselled
caution.
Assembly Bill Objectionable
The telegram and other Information
from official circles Indicated clearly
that the provisions In the assembly
bill by which aliens "Ineligible to clt
Itenshlp" would be prohibited from
owning land were regarded as a dis
tinct discrimination against the Japan
ese, who at present have not the right
of naturalisation. The Innguage of
the senate bill restricting "ownership
of Isml to citizens of the United
States or aliens who have declared
their Intention of becoming citlsens"
Is approved by the president, as he
has discovered that this Is the phrase
ology of the statutes already In force
In New York, Delaware, Kansas, Min
nesota, Kentucky, Washington, Mis
souri and the District of Columbia.
Incidentally, all these laws make It
Impossible tor Japanese to own lands
until they are able to declare their In
tention of becoming citlsens, a privi
lege which the lower courts thus far
have not given them on the ground
that they ere not of "white or African
descent."
Dollar Diplomacy to Be Given Qulatus
President Wilson and Secretary of
State tlryan are planning to reorganise
the South and Central American di
plomatic service, eliminating the last
-vestige of "dollar diplomacy."
It Is reported that Hrynn believes
that his subordinates have been giving
out matters which he thinks should
come from the department chief, and
a shake-up In the state department Is
predicted.

Public Utilities Control Bill Passed
Ovsr Vsto by Houss.
St. Tsui, Minn. The lower house
of the Minnesota legislature repassed
over the governor's veto the telephone
control bill and the bill providing for
the municipal control of public utili
ties. Governor Kberhnrt, In vetoing bolh

belief that the regulation of public
utilities should be left to the state. He
has voiced his determination of calling
an extra session, probably late In the
summer, to pass such a measure.
OUTLAW TORNOW
. KILLEDJY DEPUTY
Montessno, Wash. John Tornow,
outlaw, has paid the penalty for six
murders. Ills body, together with
those ot his two last victims, Ixuls
Dlalr and Charles Lathrop, was packed
out of his hermit retreat In the moun
tains. The autopsy, performed by a num
ber of physicians of the county,
brought to light that Tornow bad been
hit three times with bullets. The first
one to strike him fractured his skull
and cut away a portion of his hnlr.
The next bullet, possibly the sixth
shot fired by Giles Qulmby, a deputy
sheriff, struck the outlsw In the neck,
passing out Just under the skin under
the right shoulder blade. The final
bullet, which killed the murderer, en-1
tered the left side of the head under I
the ear and came out at the top of :
the head.
The hermit wore six shirts and five I
pairs of punts. Ills shoes were new
and were tied with elkhlde strings.
His feet were very sore, caused by
wearing the shoes, which did not fit
him, and which he cut up. Ills bed
ding consisted ot a good blanket and
two quilts, which proves that only
recently he had made a trip out and
secured clothing snd bedding. His
stimulant consisted of tea made from
dried snlal leaves.
The body was turned over to Fred
and Edward Tornow, two brothers; It
was taken from this city and burled
In the family plot at the old Tornow
homestead.

WOLGAST GETS
FEARFUL BEATING
San Francisco. For 16 rounds "Har
lem" Tommy Murphy and Ad WolgaU
battled, with little to choose between
them. Then a missed right swing by
the one-time champion was his undo
ing snd paved the way for a fight-end
decision in favor of Murphy.
Incidentally, it served to bring the
Harlem fighter to the very front ranks
aa a lightweight championship con
tender. Such was the verdict of the
great mnjorlty of spectators, who
cheered him to the echo when Referee
"Jim" Griffin awarded him the deci
sion after 20 rounds of heart-breaking
milling with Wolgnst, with whom only
a tew weeks ago he had fought a des
perate draw.
In the seventeenth round ot the
battle Wolgast essayed a terrific right
swing tor bis opponent's Jaw, which
fell short of Its mark. The ex-champion
spun around like a top and nil
but fell to the floor from the effects
ot his misspent punch.
Quick to take advantage of this unlooked-for
opening, Murphy smashed
the spinning Wolgast's face until the
blood sprayed In every direction and
thereafter his work was easy. Wol
gnst wilted like a leaf and the best be
could do was to stall and clinch to
save himself from a knockout

CLEAR FIELD IS GIVEN
Republicans Decide Not to Block
Wilson Nominations.
Washington. There will be no gen
eral holdup of President Wilson's
nominations by senate Republicans
such as the Democrats resorted to In
preventing confirmation of nearly 2000
appointments made by President Taft
In the closing days ot bis administra
tion. Such a policy of reprisal, al
though supported by several Repub
lican senators, will not have the ap
Vroval ot the subcommittee of five
appointed by the Republican "patron
age" cnucus Inst week when It reports
back to the conference.
According to the present plan, nomi
nations by the president will be ob
jected to by Republicans only when
considered purely political. It Incum
bents are thrown out of office without
good cause, merely to create vacancies
for Democrats, the Republican confer
ence will Investigate and tight such
nominations. It necetssury.
