this aftf-rnoon from Los Angeles with
the Intention of being married, but they

woman explained herself.
"I am old and homely and cannot get

Nipponese and Yankee Wives Raise

LOS ANOKL.ES. Cal., March 15. (Spe
cial.) Because a real estate man rent
ed homes on El Molino street in a
fashionable district to two Japanese
with American wives there's a minia
ture tempest brewing. While the
neighbors fret and fume and the house
wives, over their teacups, place the
Japanese-American quartet in the same
category as Roosevelt's "undesirable
citizens," the two American wives .of
the sons of Nippon remain cheerful and
happy with a little story of their own
to tell.
"I would like to know how many
American husbands get up in the morn
ing and build the fires," said Mrs.
Katsutaran Tanigoshi, whose husband,
a full-blooded Japanese, Is an attorney
in Judge Noyes' office. ."A few, per
haps, build the fires, but how many get
breakfast, let nie ask? That is what
my husband does. He never forgets
the little attentions, either. He al
ways remembers to bring me flowers
and books and never goes out nights."
And the little woman nodded lier
head proudly. She is a white-skinned
girl with delicate features, but the baby
she held in her arms has the brown
r-kin and the almond eyes of the Ori
ental. "Those people detract from the value
rf our property. We cannot move away
or many of us would," said Mrs. D. II.
Carleton. who has lived on El Molino
street seven years. "They may be nice
as far as Japanese go. said Mrs. Fred
Morse, "but I am sure I would let my
house go unrented before I would bring
such families into my home."
Both men are upper-class Japanese.

Man's Evidence Most Important
Yet Introduced List of Men
Who Lost Money Given,
COUNCIL BLUFFS, la., March 15.
Howard Simpson, a Spokane real estate
dealer, furnished the sensation today in
the trial of John C. Maybray and his
associates in the United States District
Court, charged with fraudulent use of
the malls.
No witness called thus far has received
the attention accorded Simpson. Consid
erable mystery surrounded the manner
in which he secured the information he
vouchsafed In the case, and neither side
attempted to show how he came into
possession of it.
He indicated clearly, however, that he
had been In touch with the leading de
fendants for many years, was perfectly
familiar with their handwriting, their
method of operation and in most cases
with their personality. Mr. Simpson said
he was a man of wealth and standing In
his home city.
Handwriting Is Identified.
The Government introduced a directory
of about 200 names of men who are al
leged to have been identified with May
bray In his operations. This directory
was taken from Maybray's effects when
he was arrested at Little Rock, and was
compiled,' according to the chirography,
by various persons. Simpson unhesitat
ingly identified the handwriting of each
person and the defense made no effort
to combat his testimony.
Colonel Temple. Prosecuting Attorney,
said he considered Simpson's evidence
the strongest he had s-et introduced. It
is said Simpson will give further testi
mony in cases to come before the court
later. - .
Alberts Important AVitness.
An important witness was George Al
berts of Sioux City, who testified to
losing $2000 in a wrestling match at Den
ver. Alberts admitted that he had been
solicited to go In with the defendants
in their business and identified a "show
letter" which he received from Bert
Shores, a defendant, through the mails.
This letter is the first of its kind the
prosecution has been able to get into
the record.

SAN DIEGO RAISES GASH
MILLION IS SUBSCRIBED FOR
EXPOSITION" FUND.
Another Million to Be Obtained by
Bonding City Town Proud of
Per Capita Showing.
SAN DIEGO. Cal., March 15. The
finance committee of the Panama-California
Exposition announced today that
the initial fund of $1,000,000, represent
ing the capital stock of the corporation.
Intended as a guarantee of the plans
for 1915, has been completely sub
scribed. Of the entire amount, nearly
$400,000 has been raised the past fort
night, since John D. Spreckels, first
vice-president of the exposition, offered
a conditional subscription of $50,000 if
no more than that sum was needed to
complete the million by March 15.
Forty citizens subscribed for the un
sold balance today.
Comparison with the financial rec
ords of previous expositions shows that
no other city has ever approached the
capital subscription for exposition pur
poses. Estimating San Diego's popula
tion at 50,000, the total is a subscrip
tion equal to $20 for every resident of
the city.
Telegrams of congratulation from
many sections of the state were re
ceived at exposition headquarters to
day. It is planned to raise a second
$1,000,000 immediately by bonding the
city.
FIGHT OPENED ON BILL
(Continued From First Page.)
days" up there in New York. The
changes attributed to the influence of rail
road men that had been brought to. bear
upon the President and Attorney-General
before January 11, when the bill was
presented to the chairman of the com
mittee on interestate commerce. He as
serted from the time the measure had
been turned in to the President until it
had left him, nearly every railroad presi
dent In the country had visited Washing
ton and had been heard by the President
and Attorney -General, many of them
twice. Substantially, every change had
been made to suit the railroads.
He did not object to the granting of the
hearings on legislation, he said. His
objection was to the course of the execu
tive officials in taking In hand the entire
direction of legislation. If the Attorney
General and the President were to pre
pare bills it was "eminently fair that
they should hear those Interested."
Senate Left In Dark.
But although the railroad men had pre
sented their views to the President and
his Attorney-General, only one of them
had been heard by the Senate committee.
Because of the method of proceeding,
the Senate, he urged, necessarily was
Ignorant of the arguments used to bring
about the changes. No doubt there was
good reason for the changes, but be
that as it might, the Introduction of a
system "which would lead those desir
ing to influence legislation to appeal to
the White House rather than to Con
gress" he considered pernicious.
Mr. Cummins inveighed against the
proposed court of commerce as unnec
essary and expensive. He asserted that
not to exceed seven or eight cases a year
would come before the court and the ex
pense would not be short of $100,000 per
annum. He also argued that any court
created for the trial of railroad cases
alone would be unwise because of in
fluences surrounding the selection of
members of the court and because of
"the tremendous power of the railroads."
Jurisdiction Not Specific.
Mr. Cummins also pointed out the pos
sibility of an enlargement of the Juris
diction of the proposed court over that
now exercised by the United States
Courts. He thought the jurisdiction should
be made as specific as possible.
More serious and disastrous than any
of these objections, he said, was the
blow to shippers In taking the Interstate
Commerce Commission out of the defense
of the cases, making the United States
the defendant and placing the cases en
tirely In the hands of the Attorney-General.
Such a course, he contended, would
give the Department of Justice power
of secret evidence, from which there
could not be appeal or redress. This
course, he thought, must necessarily
destroy the effectiveness of the law.
Mr. Elklns defended the provision for
Utilization of the services of the Attorney-General.
He was opposed by Sena
tor Bailey, who said that If the provision
were retained the railroads would be
more interested in the selection of an
Attorney-General than of the President
himself.
Commerce Court Attacked.
Eenator Bristow of Kansas offered a
long list of amendments to the bill, the
most Important of which proposes the
complete elimination of the proposed
commerce ' court.
Other ' amendments offered by Mr.
Bristow provide continued representation
of the Interstate Commerce Commission
in any proceedings in which the commis
sion may be Interested: provide against
the granting of an injunction staying
orders of the commission except by a full
court and after a hearing, and require
that the traffic agreements authorized by
the bill shall hot become effective until
approved by the committee.
TAX LAW IS DEFENDED
CORPORATION ' CASES ARE
READY FOR HEARING.
Government Maintains Revenue Ob
tained by New Statute Is Not
Direct Property Tax.
WASHINGTON, March 15. The Gov
ernment's defense of the constitution
ality of the corporation tax provision of
the new tariff law was submitted today
in printed form to the Supreme Court
of the United States. It is the work of
Lloyd W. Bowers, Solicitor-General, but
bears the signature also of his chief,
Attorney-General Wickersham. Upon it
the Government will shape its oral de
fense of the law when the corporation
tax cases come up for argument,
probably Tuesday. The first point
sought to be made Is that the tax is
not a direct tax upon property, but is
an excise tax upon "the carrying on
of business.' The declarations of the
statute as well as decisions of the
courts, are relied upon to support this
point. As to the statute, Mr. Bowers
says In his brief that it shows the
transaction of business to be the sub
ject of the tax and that the Income of
business is used merely as measuring
the amount of tax, ''which rests not
Upon that income, but upon the occu
pation from which it is derived."
- In his consideration of cases bearing
upon the point whether the corporation
tax was a direct tax or an excise, Mr.
Bowers refers to the famous income tax
cases. He says these cases have been
interpreted, undoubtedly with the con
currence of the entire Supreme Court,
as referring to a tax imposed on prop
erty solely by reason of its ownership.
"That must mean," said the Solicitor
General, "a tax upon property by reason
of Its mere existence or ordinary enjoy
ment, though the property is not put to
some special use. A tax upon business is
not a tax Imposed upon property solely
by reason of its ownership, for if the
property is not put to business use no
tax falls upon it or its income."
Finally on this1 point, Mr. Bowers con
tends that franchises cannot be the spe
cific subject of the tax, as a tax is not
imposed in any way unless business is
actually done.
One reason assigned for exempting in
dividuals and partnerships is -that they
are without the aid of legal rules appli
cable to corporations and joint stock
companies. Both reason and authority,
it is claimed, justify the exemption of
corporations whose net income is not
over $6000.
"Exemptions from taxation of a limited
amount of Individual property are well
nigh universal," says Mr. Bowers, "and
they rest, doubtless, upon the just and
necessary policy of leaving a living op
portunity unburdened by government."
Labor, agricultural and horticultural or
ganizations are exempted, he says, be
cause they seem "hardly to be organized
for profit." He adds that If it Is neces
sary the statute could well be construed
as not exempting such associations if
their primary purpose is business profit.
The exception of societies operating
under the lodge system, he contends
justifies itself. Such, Mr. Bowers states,
are the Knights of Pythias, Knights of
Labor, certain Masonic orders, the Red
men and the Woodmen of the World. It
Is almost humorous he adds, to urge
that such organizations must be consid
ered Insurance companies having purely
or chiefly pecuniary functions.

reason of his continued absence.
"He came into my store frequently."
said Professor Meyer last night. "On one
occasion he brought some photogravures

On -other occasions, said Professor

"I took him for a German-American,

project are the most fertile and
richest lands in the world. They
are noted for their exceptional
productiveness. These lands pro
duce as high as 1200 bushels of
onions to the acre, and other
things in similar proportion. What
they produce is phenomenal. For
intensified farming there is no
better land. Here a five or ten
acre tract will make a family an
independent living;. Kor those
wanting to locate on land of the
height of perfection, on land having-
the greatest productiveness,
there is no place to compare with
tlie Butter Creek Country.
Here there is not only the oppor
tunity to make money, but to be
located in the most favorable cli
mate, the coming country of the
N o r t h w est. with transportation
and the markets of the world right
at your feet, to be reached in a
day. Kor fruits of all kinds inci
dent to a semi-tropical climate,
here is the opportunity of all op
portunities. Here you have the
most favored climate, as well as
social advantages and the like. In
this connection the following item
clipped from The Oregonian of
March 9 will be of interest.
"COYOTE CUTOFF AllTHOHIZED

"W.ork on the Coyote cutoff of
the O. It. & N. in Eastern Oregon
is to begin as soon as right-of-way
issues can be adjusted. Authority
has been given for the construc
tion of the road and the money has
been appropriated, according to J.
p. O'Brien, vice-president and gen
eral manager.
"The present route of the O. R.
& N. follows the Umatilla River
from Echo to the Umatilla and
then turns at right angles down
the south bank of the Columbia
River. Coyote is a station 16 miles
west of the Umatilla, and the cut
off runs In a straight line 'across
lots' to Echo. The cutoff will be
23 miles long and will reduce the
mileage of the main line 12 miles
in addition to eliminating many
degrees of curvature. Part of the
right of way will cross lands re
served by the Government for
reclamation purposes, and it will
he necessary to have the maps ap
proved by the Interior Department.
Work will begin Just as soon as
this approval is given."
The analysis of the soil shows it
to be superior for fruit than that
of our now famous districts. We
are now prepared to take contracts
in five and ten-acre tracts up.
When you know what this land is
you will be surprised at the ex
tremely low price and the easv
terms at which it is sold. Don't
fail to get at the bottom of this
opportunity, the PREMIER irri
gated land of the world.
