MAN HUNT IS STARTED Ventura, Cal., Nov. 16. livery of ficer of the law in Ventura county was working today upon solution of the mysetery shooting, late last night, of Buell Barrows, 21-year-old youth, while his pretty 17-year-old sweet heart, Hazel Hilton, looked on. The shooting occurred near Ventura Beach, about a mile from town, short ly after 11 o'clock last night. Officers who had worked on the case all night reported this morning that they had made no progress in ap prehending the murderer. However, after questioning the girl, the of ficers stated their theory of the shoot ing is that young Barrows was the victim of mistaken identity and that he and Miss Hilton had been mistaken for some other couple. According to the girl's stcry of the shooting. Barrows had stopped his ma chine to investigate what he thought was motor trouble. Simultaneously, the girl said, she remarked she heard someone behind the machine. A shot followed close on the beels of her re mark and young Barrows fell dead be side the automobile. The girl de clares she did not see the assailant other than she "thought a man witha cap, or perhaps it was a shadow, run away after the shot was heard." Both Barrows and Miss Hilton are of prominent Ventura families. JAPANESE JINGO PRESS RAPS SUPREME COURT TOKIO, Nov. 16 The better news papers of Japan remain surprisingly calm in their comment on the deci sion of the United - State supreme court holding Japanese ineligible for citizenship in the United States be cause they are not of the "white race." The only bitterness exhibited in the comment is over the implication that the decision may have been based on the belief the yellow race is inferior. Hopes are expressed in many lead ing editorials that the decision is for the best and. that radical understand ing will eventually wipe out the in ferred implication of inferiority. The jingo press, however, is typical ly bitter the Yorodozu berating Chief Justice Taft as "up holding the Re publican attitude toward Japan," and declaring the decision can only serve to injure diplomatic relations be tween the two countries.

Heaw Damages Asked In Suit Of State Bank PORTLAND, Nov. 17. Damages to taling $130,000 were demanded of the Federal Reserve bank of San Fran cisco in a suit filed this morning in the federal court here by the Brook ings State bank. of Brookings, Curry county, Oregon. This suit is an outgrowth of the nonpar exchange controversy be tween the two banks, which resulted last June in a victory for the Brook ings bank when Judge C. E. Wolver- ton granted an injunction against the federal reserve bank restraining it from sending out notices of dishonor when the Brookings bank refused to cash a check at par. In its suit today, which was filed by T. T. Bennett of Marshfield, the Brookings bank alleged that the fed eral reserve bank maliciously main tained an agent at Brookings to col lect checks over the counter at par, in an effort to destroy its business. It also alleges that the 42 notices, of dishonor sent to Brookings bank de positors, which were introduced in the other trial, were another attempt to wreck its business. The main point of contention, however, hinges on the alleged libelous act of a woman em ploye in the Los Angeles branch of the federal reserve bank, who wrote "bank closed" on te face of the check. During the injunction trial last summer the reserve bank ad mitt ed this act, but denied it was inten tional, claiming it to be a clerical err or.
