THE MORNING OREG ONI AN, TUESDAY, AUGUST 3, 1920 CITIZENSHIP BAR OR JAPANESE IS URGED Rigid Exclusion Advised Tacoma Heating. at 'EMOTIONAL' AIM CHARGED Campaign in Favor of Xaturaliza tioa Declared Financed by Nipponese Interests. TACOMA. Wash., Aug. 2. Absolute exclusion of Japanese and permanent disbarment of children of Japanese from American citizenship were urged by Major Bert C. Ross of Seattle be fore the hearing of the house immi gration committee here this afternoon. Major Ross Bald he spoke as a rep resentative of the Anti-Japanese league and as a member of tho veter ans of foreign wars, the American Legion and the national committee of the legion dealing with the subject 01 Asiatic immigration. He read a state ment charging that hundreds of Japa nese entered this country on passports in violation of the American-Japanese agreement and that an "emotional campaign" Is being financed by the Japanese interests In the east favor able to Japanese naturalization. Representative Johnson C. Box of Texas left during the afternoon ses Bion for his home in Texas. On the eve of his departure he declared that congress can no longer ignore the Japanese question and that it must be considered from Its economic stand- Doint at the next session. The hear lngs In this city were closed this aft ernoon and it was announced that Representatives Albert Johnson of Washington and John B. Raker of Cal ifornia would continue their hearings In Seattle tomorrow morning. SMUGGLING AID IS DEXIED but the southwestern lines later at the public hearing asked that they be given separate treatment and a freight increase of approximately 39 per cent. The commission did not grant this request, saying that it had been opposed by many shippers and by other carriers in the western group. The record shows," said the com mission, "that the principal railroads serving the territory west of the Col orado common points, especially the so-called transcontinental railroads as a whole, are in a substantially bet ter financial condition than other carriers in the western territory. It also shows that the rates, generally speaking, are materially higher in the region west of the Colorado common points than in the part of the western territory lying east thereof. Consider ing the whole situation, it is our view that the territory west of the Colo rado common points and the traffio to and from that territory may prop erly be given separate treatment." The surcharge of 50 per cent on sleeping and parlor car space is to accrue wholly to the railroads. This charge was opposed by the Pullman company on the ground that it would reduce the travel in cars of that type. (US IS IH MAN OF FIVE PRISONERS Others More Crestfallen Than When First Taken.

Japanese Association Secretary Issues Statement. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2. Denial of charges said to have been made that the Japanese associations in Cal ifornia have assisted in the smug gling of Japanese into the United States was made by K. Kanzakl, sec retary of the Japanese Association of America, in a statement made public here today. - "According to the newspaper dis patch from Tacoma, Representative Albert Johnson, chairman of the con gressional committee on immigration, has stated that the Japanese associa tions m California have been assist lng the smuggling of Japanese across the Mexican border." the statement aid. "This accusation Is as astound ing as it is groundless. "The Japanese associations have never rendered assistance in any way to Japanese who attempted to enter the United States from Mexico or any other countries. On the other hand we have always co-operated with the immigration" authorities in preventing smuggling and in locating and identi fylng those who have entered this country unlawfully. "We are sure that the immigration authorities can bear testimony 10 mis statement. -The statement then set forth that the Japanese association, upon learn ing that the steamer Taikal Maru, which arrived in San Francisco in April, 1919, with seven stowaways aboard, "immediately got in touch with the immigration authorities here and secured the deportation" of the stowaways. A second instance of the same nature was cited in the state ment when the eastern mail steamer arrived here In April, 1920, with ten stowaways, who were also deported. "As for the smuggling across the Mexican border," the statement con tinued, "it is something about which our association knows nothing. If there is any organized system of smuggling it is wholly unknown to us. "At the same time, we know that the Japanese government is doing the utmost in preventing the surrepti tious entrance of Japanese across the Mexican border. When the Japanese government discovered "that some Japanese were entering Mexico from Peru it went so far as to stop the sale of steamship tickets to Japanese from Peru to Mexican ports. 'As far as the Japanese government and the Japanese associations in Cal ifornia are concerned we feel that they are doing as much as possible to top the Japanese arrivals into Mex ico and thence to the United States. "We feel that the responsibility rests with the United States government to stop the entrance of Japanese across the Mexican border if there really are so many cases of smug gling as have been commonly re ported. "When the congressional committee held hearings in California the secre taries of the Japanese associations submitted to it all the data on the question ana we ieei certain that our explanation cleared the prevailing doubt as to the smuggling of Japa nese. If Representative Johnson feels justified in making such drastic statements concerning our associa tions it would be only fair on his part to give definite facts to substantiate such statements. Unfortunately, he gives no such facts or evidence and we think that he has no data to prove ms statement." RAIL FARES UP AUGUST 20 (Continued From First Pape. COUNTY WANTS NEW PARK 3 0 ACRES NEAR EAGLE CREEK SOUGHT INSTEAD OF 15. Fisb Commission Desires Tract for Use of Department and Of fers Half for $3000. The county commissioners favor the purchase of 30 acres of land near Eagle creek to be used for a park site from the state fish tommission instead of the 15 acres offered them yesterday for sale Dy Carl Shoemaker, secretary of the fish commission. The entire 30 acres were originally of fered the county by Shoemaker for 93000, but now Mr. Shoemaker wishes to withhold about half of the trace for uses of his department. . District Attorney Evans suggested that the solution would be for the county to buy the entire 30 acres and then grant to the fish commission such land as was needed by them for purposes of fish propagation. All the commissioners agreed that the land should be retained for park purposes instead of being used fo commercial purposes, which would happen if the county did not pur chase It. . Mr.. Shoemaker will confer with members of the fish commission, and if the county commissioners' plan is agreeable to them, Mr. Shoemaker will then arrange the details of the purchase with Mr. Evans.

Taylor again threw open the doors of the sheriffs office today to allow hundreds of per sons to pass through thepffice and view Hart, Owens and Rathie again in their cells after the jailbreak in which Til Taylor waa killed, July 25. A close watch is being kept on the -county jail both day and night. Each of the recaptured jailbreakers Is locked in a separate cell and the prisoners are not allowed to mingle. An "Oregon boot" has been fastened to the left ankle of Owens, and the other four will bo similarly man acled as soon aa the chains can be obtained. Tile men have recovered somewhat from their terror Saturday night and Sunday morning,- but they are more crestfallen than when first captured. Kerve Regained by Rathie. Rathie, who broke down completely Saturday night and sobbed, now seems to have regained some of his nerve, according to R. I. Keator, district attorney, who has been grilling the prisoners at different times since their capture. Rathie shows some signs of stubbornness, although he, like his confederates, is willing to talk. Hart, the confessed slayer of Sher iff Til Taylor, tries to maintain an arrogant air, but his - nervousness, caused by fear of the fate awaiting him, cannot be hidden. The jaiibreaK had been planned. Hart has told Mr. Keator, by the five prisoners for a week before it was achieved. Owens appears tofcbe the iron man of the group. He maintains his cool self-assured demeanor. Only once has he showed any signs of waver inr. Saturday night, when he refused to talk, he was taken to a jail window to look out upon the mob of angry men gathered in front of the court house. When they saw him they set ud a cry of "Bring him out." Then he sank to his knees and after that was more willing to answer questions. Owens Gives Real Name. Owens has confessed to District Attorney Keator that Owens is not his real name. His parents are said to be ignorant of his plight, and Mr. K.ea tor has promised not to divulge the name which Owens declares le his right one. During the many cross examinations Owens has stoutly main tained that he is not a halfbreed In dian. He was 23 years old in March and says he comes from Scotch-lrish- English descent. According to his story he first met Hart in Pendleton on the day prior to the holdup at Cayuse on July 11 He was never in serious trouble before that time, he told the district attor ney. On that cay the two men met at the O.-W. R. & N. station here and together boarded a freight train for La Grande. They were put off at Cayuse by a brakeman. They sought food at homes of Indians and later robbed two homes of saddles, rifles, chaps and similar paraphernalia, which filled two trunks. That nigh they held up Eugene Lyman of this city and after leaving him bound and gagged in a barn, drove, his car to Reith. The next day they were pur sued and captured by Sheriff Til Tay lor and a posse. Rewards Are to Be Paid. Mr. Keator has obtained complete stories from all of the captured Jai breakers for use in their trial. Each has attempted to place the blame o the other. Mr. Keator is preparing case which will be a powerful at tempt to send every one of the men to the gallows. The county cour will meet this week to authorize th payment of the rewards offered for the capture of the men. The total amount of the reward for the capture " of Hart and Owens $42o0 and will in all probability g to the Union county posse which took the two desperadoes early Saturday morning. John McMartan and Barney Develin, sheepherders near Kamela, are th men who captured Louis Anderso and Richard Patterson, for whom $500 each was offered by the county. . Two men, Duffy and Bonifer, claimed to be the two men in a posse of five from Meacham who took Rathie, for whom rewards totalin $750 were offered by the county and city. to belong to an organization advo cating it, and conspiracy to attend meetings at which overthrowing the government by force was advocated. Macleay Hoyne, state's attorney, in a statement, called the verdict a "sig nal victory for the United States." "In this trial Ted' radicalism was driven into the open," said the state ment. "One important issue decided was that the red card of the I. W.
