Warrants Out for Arrest of
v Five Alleged Assailants.
MANY ORIENTALS ROUTED
i. AV. YV. Held largely Responsible
for Deportation Following Cut
In Workers Wages.
TURtiOCK. Cal.. July 20. Arrests
were expected here tonight of several
Turlock men charged with having
taken part In the deportation from
Turlock and nearby farms of between
60 and 80 Japanese laborers early to
day. Sheriff Dallas of Stanislaus county
was reportea on nis way irum -i u
desto. the county seat, with warrants
for five Turlock men. charged with
kidnaping the Japanese. The war
rants were issued on John Doe com
plaints sworn to by one of the de
ported Japanese, who went to -Modesto
from Denalr, near here, where he was
left early today. The Japanese said
he could Identify the men who took
him.
Stanislaus county officials blamed
the trouble to Industrial Workers of
the World, who, they charged, planned
the deportation when fruit workers'
wages were cut approximately 15 per
cent and when Japanese remained at
work under the low schedule. Sheriff
Dallas was reported bringing several
deputies with him to help" make the
arrests.
Many of the Japanese have returned
to the points from which they were
taken, some of them coming back as
Boon as they were unloaded from the
automobiles In which they were car
ried away. One of the Japanese was
forced to drive an automobile in
which was carried his deported fel
low countrymen.
Japanese Salts Likely
No one tonight knew the exact
awimber of men deported. City offi
cials said 63 were sent away from
here and between 20 and 25 from
nearby farms. Sheriff Dallas, after
an examination today, said the num
ber had been exaggerated and would
not exceed 50. It was said about 60
per cent of the men who deported the
Japanese were permanent residents of
Turlock, the others being itinerant
fruit workers.
There were rumors tonight of suits
Jeing brought against the county by
eeveral of the Japanese.
The authorities said that the mem
bers of the mob, which numbered
About 75, threatened to burn one
Japanese hotel and two Japanese
bunk houses In order to hasten the
departure of their occupants.
Fifteen Japanese were taken from
the Gerard ranch, near town, and
the remainder from various other
properties.

The police were, 'notified that a
number of Japanese taken to Keyes
by the mob were placed on board a
northbound freight train, which was
flagged. The Japanese submitted in
most instances without even a pro
test. Workers Under Contract.
Tito Japanese had been brought
Into the district under contract to
white ranchers to pick the fruit and
melon crop. They were being, paid
16 cents a crate, whereas white work
ers were getting 25 and 26 cents, and
this is given as the principal cause
of the trouble.
The deportation followed by a few
flays a similar deportation of Jap
anese workers from the Livingston,
Merced county, fruit district. In the
former instance, however, the farm
ers of the Livingston region were
held to be responsible fbr the en
forced departure of the Japanese.
The mob worked silently and was
aided to some extent by the full
moon. The Jananese were nrntiseri
and given a certain time In which
to dress and collect their belongings
and were then ordered onto motor
trucks and driven away. Wives and
ohildren of the deportees were not
molested and no effort was made to
disturb the Japanese who have lease
holds on lands here.
The act of the mob followed a
protest to the Turlock chamber of
commerce yesterday by the fruit and
.melon pickers' undon and the refusal
of the chamber to adopt a resolution
upholding the protest. The chamber
Issued a statement, however, criticis
ing white farmers who brought Jap
anese workers into the district.

GOVERNOR DENIES CHARGE
Atlorney-General Accused of Polit
ical Enmity.
SPRI-NGField, 111.. July 20. Gov
ernor Small, indicted today by the
Sangamon county grand jury on
charges of embezzlement and con
spiracy to defraud the state, declared
in a message "to the people of Illi
nois" tonight that he is "absolutely
innocent of every charge they make."
He added that he believed Lieutenant-Governor
Sterling and . Vernon
Curtis, indicted with him, were
equally innocent. He charged. Attorney-General
Brundage with po
litical and personal enmity.
The governor's statement follows:
"You, wno elected me your gover
nor by the greatest vote ever given
a chief executive in Illinois, are
entitled at th.is time to a frank state
ment from me concerning the 'in
dictment' returned agaLnst me today
by tine Sangamon county grand juryr
"For the present, may I not ask
you to accept from me with the same
confidence whioh you accepted my
candidacy for governor, assurance to
you that I am absolutely innocent of
any charges which the public may
consider brought against me by the
grand jury, after a one-sided hearing
in whioh personal and political
enemies were heard and I had no
voice.
"Attorney-General Brundage, leader
of the conspiracy, has succeeded in
obtaining this Indictment simply be
cause of the personal fury I aroused
in him because I refused to permit
him to take from the taxpayers'
pockets $1,500,000 for the upkeep of
nis personal political macnine.
"I promised the people of Illinois
that I would attempt to secure for
them a 'dollar's worth of service for
every dollar spent.' In thus reduc
ing the burdens of taxation, I found
it necessary to cut Mr. Brundage's
appropriations $u0,000. I had no
hesitancy in doing this, because Mr.
Brundage had been using your money
purely for his own selfish political
desires.
"So. Mr. Brundage not only desired
my political assassination, but he pro
ceeded with the machinery at his
hands to accomplish that fact. The
