A . con stitutional amendment denying citi zenship to all . Japanese born on American soil was proposed in a reso lution introduced today by Senator Phelan, democrat, California, and re ferred to the judiciary committee. Under the proposed amendment only persons "whose parents axe white. Africans. American Indians or their descendants and all persons natural Ized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof would be eligible for citizenship." "In a short time," eaid Senator Phelan, "the Japanese will own all the best lands in California unless restrained.

SACHA5TENTO, Cal., Jan. 21. Gov ernor Stephens in a letter to State Senator Inman today declined to jgrant an audience to a committee ap pointed by the California Oriental Exclusion league and other organiza tions to seek from him an expression as to whether he proposed to call a pecial session of the state legisla ture to deal with, exclusion legisla tion. Exclusion agitation in California lias become "a candidate's agitation," the governor said. The alien exclu sion and land question, he added, "is essentially an international problem, one that California cannot success fully deal wiWi alone." The letter said in part; "There can be no satisfactory solu tion of this question for ourselves or future generations so long as the American-born children of alien un-as-similable races are given the rights of citizenship. If we are to do our duty to posterity as well as to our eelves, and there can be no question that we shouldwe must act advisedly and effectively if we are to get at the correct solution of this problem. "One argument I have frequently heard is that a special session of the legislature would serve as a demon titration to help make the people in other parts of our country realize the serious menace that confronts California and the entire Pacific coast. Inasmuch as the present agita tion is so actively political in char acter, such a special session would largely be robbed of the impression It was sougm 10 create.

Cognizance was taken by the senate sub-committee investigating the Mex ican situation today of the Mexican official effort that is being made to prevent the taking of testimony, when there was inserted in the record the Mexican consul's instructions from the foreign office. There was a request to Henry Fer- res, who had just testified, to report to the committee any refusal by a Mexican consul to vise his passport. A great majority of Americans who have testified do not expect to return to Mexico, but there are -a few who do. Mexicans have not yet been asked to appear but many have given agents of the committee information and have expressed a willingness to .tes tify, although most of them would prefer such protection as an executive hearing might afford them. Only few of them would risk returning to Mexico at the present time even had they not been made aware of the Carranza government's intention to declare traitors all who testify. .negaraing the Mexican govern ment, s attitude towards lta own na tionals it appeared probable the com mittee would make no protest, but It was indicated any effort to penalize American passport holders would re sult.

EUGENE, Or., Jan. 21. (Special.) The forest-fire situation in the Cas cade national forest during the past season was reviewed in a paper read by N. F. Macduff, supervisor of this forest, before the meeting of rangers yesterday afternoon. The problem that confronted the 30 officials of the Cascade forest last summer when an electrical storm on August 10 started 40 fires at widely separated points on a million rough mountainous acres, was far more serious than would have been the situation had 40 fires broken out in that many places in a city, the speaker said. With no rain after June 15. the woods were dry aa tinder and" the lightning furnished the spark, he said. With only 30 men in the forest, and not all of them experienced, other labor scarce, few pack animals and little other means of transportation available, the situation was almost helpless, said the supervisor. In reviewing the record of the past season, he said the one outstanding feature is that the forest organiza tion, small compared to the problem and handicaps It had to face, did not break down, but successfully con trolled even the worst fire, demon strating that a similar but much larger - organization, employed and trained in advance, could have re duced the damage and expense ma terially.
