WORTHY MOTIVES ASSUMED Espionage by' Private Individuals Held Contrary to American Theory of Government. WASHINGTON, March 31. Private organizations offering to continue dur ing peace the espionage work under taken during the war to protect the public safety were informed today by Attorney-General Palmer that the de partment of Justice would not recog nize them or have any connection with them, official or semi-official. "Espionage conducted by private in dividuals or organizations," Mr. Palmer said in announcing his decision, "is en tirely at variance with our theories of government and Its operation In any community constitutes a grave menace to that feeling of public confidence which is the chief force making for the maintenance of good order."' Appreciation of the "patriotic and high-minded motives" actuating the of fers was expressed by the attorney general. The traditional policy of the department which caused refusal of the tendered services was explained in the following statement: Services Are Volunteered "During the past two months my department has received communica tions from a number of private organ izations calling attention to the fact that they have been formed for the pur pose of systematically detecting viola tions of law and courteously offering to supply the department of Justice with information of this character gath ered by them. "It will be impossible for my depart ment to have any connection, official or semi-official, with these organizations. This department welcomes at all times Information which is germane to its work from whatever source It may come. It has been the traditional pol icy of this department, however. grounded on sound reasons, not to con fer its sanction upon private organiza tions and not to establish with them any relations of an official or semi official character. ' One Exception la Cited. "The only exception to this long-es tablished policy, if it can be called an exception, was the formation during the war of the American protective league, which was organized with the approval of the attorney-general and operated under the direct supervision of the bureau of investigation of this department "During the war there was need for such an auxiliary to this department and the members of the American pro tective league rendered service of the greatest value. Nevertheless, my prede cessor. Attorney-General Gregory, re quested that this organization be dis banded and. in conformance to his wishes, it went out of existence on Feb ruary 1. It was his view. In which I heartily concur, that no organization, even of this type, should receive of ficial recognition from this department in time of peace. Private Spying Disapproved. "Espionage conducted by private in dividuals or organizations is entirely at variance with our theories of gov ernment and its operation in any com munity constitutes a grave menace to that feeling of public confidence which is the chief force making for the main tenance of good order. Furthermore, on reflection. It must be obvious to everyone that for a government agency to maintain any relations whatever with private bodies engaged in this work would in the end result in im pairing the confidence of the public in the disinterestedness and impartiality of government investigations. "I fully realize the patriotic and high-minded motives with which these organizations have been formed and which have animated them In making proffers of assistance to this depart ment, but 1 am constrained to eay frankly that I fear the work of these private organizations may produce harmful results. I therefore feel com pelled to instruct the various officials of this department not to enter into relationship with them." JAPANESE MENACE IS REAL (Continued From First Page.) lowed to organize and maintain gov ernment on racial lines, so that democ racy and freedom shall be, at last, made humanly possible. If this oppor tunity is lost it may never recur again." LAND OVVXEKS KXFLAIX STAND Declaration Made to State Depart ment Is Adhered To. LOS ANGELES. Cal.. March 3L The owners of the California-Mexico Land & Cattle company's property in Lower California still adhere to a declaration made to the Btate department in 191V that they will not "under any circum stances make any lease of any kind to Japanese where colonization is prob able until we are first authoritatively Informed that such an agreement will be entirely agreeable to the govern ment of our own country." This was announced here today by Harry Chandler, president of the com pany. Mr. Chandler's statement was as fol lows: "So far as the alleged pending sale of California-Mexico Land & Cattle company's property in Lower Cali fornia to a Japanese syndicate is con cerned, the owners of the land are still adhering to the declaration made by them to the secretary of state in February, 1917. in connection with the proposed lease of a comparatively small section of the company's hold ings to Japanese tenants. The follow ing is an extract from a letter written by me as president of the company and concurred in by the stockholders of that company, dated February 23, 1917, to the department of Btate at Washington: "While my company is anxious to secure these reliable tenants, amply financed, to help develop our property in Mexico, we are first of all American citizens and do not wish to make any move which could In any way prejudice a question which always appears to be a subject for agitation between the two countries. "We will not, under the circum stances, consider making any lease of this kind to Japanese, where coloniza tion is probable, until we are first au thoritatively informed that such ar rangement will be agreeable to the government of our own country. We believe that most of the Japanese labor for this enterprise will come from the Pacific coast states and thus relieve to some extent the pressure at fhia class of people now in the Un'lad i ates and will be an advantage rather th&n a dis advantage. "During these ticklish times we, as , large laud owners in Mexico, are de- I termlned to use scrupulous car In hav ing this matter thoroughly threshed out In advance.' "The main body of the letter recited all the details of the proposed lease and the portion quoted still expressed the attitude of the owners of the prop- erty. I desire to call attention to an error in the statement made by the Mexican assistant secretary of fomento. General Amado Aguierre. as reported in the Associated press dispatches dated March 29. to the effect that the California-Mexico Land & Cattle com pany's titles came through a conces sion from the former Mexican govern ment. "Neither the California-Mexico Land sc Cattle company nor its grantors ever asked for or received any concessions for any portion of the lands now held by our company from the government of Mexico. The lands our company owns and controls were acquired by direct purchase for cash at the full price asked from the Mexican govern ment and no concessions of any kind ever were asked for or received in con nection with the purchase of our land property. "After our company took an option on the land and before the purchase was finally consummated, a most exhaust ive search of the records of title, as shown by the public records, was made by trained title searchers, and the con dition of our title, after this invest! gation, was shown to be as above stated, to-wlt, what we believe to be the most perfect title in Mexico. "The reference by the Mexican orn clal to special concesssions made in connection with the sale of these lands must refer to lands adjoining ours. which were secured by an American syndicate headed by J. P. Morgan at about the time that our lands were purchased from the Mexican govern ment. Their titles were secured through a concession which sprovide for special colonization efforts on the part of the purchasing syndicate. "Pastor Roulx, secretary of the Mexi can fomento. visited Lower California a year ago and a representative of, our company offered a convey to Mexican colonists at any reasonable price which could be mutually agreed upon, such acreage as might be required for Mexi can colonization and, so far as we know, a very satisfactory understanding ex ists between ourselves and the Mexican government's department of fomento (interior). "It is fair to say that the Japanese, who were negotiating for a lease at that time, took precisely the same stand, as prospective tenants, that the own ers of land took, to-wit: That they did not desire to consummate the lease unless it was perfectly agreeable to the officials of our own state department- "HARRY CHANDLER. "President California-Mexico Land & Cattle Company." The property of the California-Mexico Land & Cattle company, known on both sides of the border as the C. M. ranch, now comprises 830,000 acres running from the international boundary to the Gulf of California. It was originally 862.000 acres, but 32,000 acres were sold to John Cudahy about seven years ago. The west line of the property runs al most due south from Calexico, thence east across the head of the gulf to the original bed of the Colorado river, which forms the easterly boundary of the tract The north line is the inter national boundary. The whole tract comprises the Mexican portion of the Imperial valley, which valley is prac tically all under irrigation canals and susceptible of intensive cultivation. CAPTAIN ALLAN FINISHES LONG MUSH TO FAIRBANKS. Youthful Seattle Explorer Fails in Attempt to Sail Through North west Passage. SEATTLE. Wash., March 31. (Spe cial.) Arriving In Fairbanks, Alaska, after a long "mush" out from the Arc tic, via the mouth of the Mackenzie river. Captain Alexander Allan, old time Arctic navigator, sent the follow ing news by wire and cable to Seattle: "Harold Noice, youthful Seattle ex plorer, who formerly was a member of the Stefansson expedition, has been de feated in his daring attempt to sail through the Northwest passage from west to east, his schooner, the Chal lenge, not proving stout enough for the dangerous venture. He has sold the Challenge to the Hudson Bay com pany and the vessel is wintering in Copper Mine river. Young Noice plans to work his way eastward by dog team until he reaches. Hudson bay and the Atlantic In the meantime, however, he will map the east coast of Victoria land, a work that never has been un dertaken before. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. H. S. Noice, 211 West Garfield street." The schooner Argo Is wintering in Darnley bay. The Anna Olga is at Mar tin Point and the Elsueno is laid up in Barnard harbor. The Teddy Bear had not been heard from since Captain Al lan left the Arctic on his long hike overland to Fairbanks. In his message Captain Allan reports that two blond Eskimos were arrested by Corporal Conway of the royal north west mounted police, charged with the murder of a native woman whose body had disappeared. The Eskimos were discharged for lack of evidence. Captain Allan left the Arctic coast March 4 and made the mush from the Mackenzie river over the Endicott range down the Porcupine and thence to Fairbanks in 26 days, following the same route that he followed more than a year ago when he arrived from Fair banks unheralded. HIGHER PURE IS DISCUSSED SEATTLE FACES PROBLEM WITH MUNICIPAL . OWNERSHIP. Superintendent of City Utilities Con fident Profit Can Be Made at Old Five-Cent Rate. SEATTLE, , Wash. March 31. (Spe cial.) With the transfer to the city to day of the Seattle Railway system, the rate of fare to be charged became one of the live questions. The matter has been informally discussed, and the opin ion expressed by some councilmen that the city will have to charge more than 5 cents to break even on the transac tion. One of the circumstances leading to the city's offer to purchase the system was the demand of the Puget Sound Traction, Light & Power Company for authority to increase fares to 7 cents, and a showing was made that efficient service coud not be maintained on a 5-cent fare. At the request of the city council Thomas F. Murphine, superintendent of the utilities department, investigated the company's earnings and a statement was compiled purporting to show that the system could profit on a 5-cent fare. Superintendent Murphine is still stand ing by his figures made last July. Canadians to Leave Siberia. OTTAWA. Ont. March 31.

Louise Bryant, who attracted some at tention by appearing before the senate inquiry commission and speaking kindly of the bolshevik and the soviet govern ment, wants American troops withdrawn from Russian territory. There are no Oregon boys with the American troops in Russia, she explained at the Multno mah Hotel, but there are many Michi gan youths and the people of Michigan are circulating petitions to have them returned. Miss Bryant, who uses that name more generally than that of Mrs. John Reed, states that she came west to visit her mother in California and intended only remaining in Portland two or three days to visit her mother-in-law, Mrs. C. J. Reed. However, someone wanted her to deliver a public address and she was much annoyed to find that a contro versy arose as to whether she should be permitted to speak in this or her former home city. American reporters are the only kind permitted to attend meetings in Rus sia, explained Miss Bryant, for the Russian people love the Americans, but they are losing this affection since American troops have been there. Amer ica will not receive Russian trade un less the troops are withdrawn, she said. In short, she contended, the Russians should be permitted to woi'k out their own salvation without interference from America. "As to bloodshed, the sword and the bullet well, look at the time the United States had for four years during the civil war while trying to de termine what sort of government this country should have," said Miss Bryant. She said that Colonel Raymond Rob bins, of the American Red Cross, who was chairman of the Progressive national convention in 1916, entertains views simi lar to her own and that the colonel is anxious for the development of America and wants America to obtain the Rus sian trade. Ambassador Francis she characterized as loose-mouthed. ACCIDENT LEADS TO ARREST Young Boys in Stolen Automobile Captured After Long Chase.

MORE SERIOUS NOW Than Ever Before Because of War Reduced Reserve Strength. The war has been far-reaching in its effects. It has caused worry and anxiety in every home, and has af- i fected the health of every family. It has aggravated chronic troubles, in creased their tenacity and made all spring aliments more serious. As a result, a blood-purifying, stomach-toning spring medicine is more nec essary this year than ever.
