ALIEN LAND LAW UPHELD
KSSKE LOBES SUIT IX U, S.
COURT IX TACO.MA.
Trunk 'I'crriire, Who Itemed Place
to Jupiincse, Says He Will
Appeal to Supreme Court.
TACO.MA, Wash.. Dec. 14. Judge
Cushman today handed down a deci
sion upholding the state anti-alien
land law for a second time and throw
ing nut of his federal court a suit of
Frank Terrace of Seattle, to enjoin
operation of the law. The hearing
was held in Seattle yesterday.
Last summer Terrace lost his first
suit in federal court, and the second
hearing was upon an amended com
plaint. Attorney-General Thompson's
motion that the case be finally dis
missed was sustained. Notice of ap
peal to the United States supreme
court has been filed.
The anti-alien land law was passed
by the last state legislature, with the
object of prohibiting aliens from leas
ing as well as owning lands in the
state. It provides strict penalties for
a land owner to enter into a lease
contract with an alien. Terrace, In
his contention, held that the section
of the law forbidding leases was In
violation of the United States con
stitution, and he asked that the state
officials be enjoined from enforcing
its provisions in regard to a tract cf
land he owned in the White River
valley, near Seattle, and which he
leased to N. Nakatsuka, a Japanese.

State Commissions Oppose Request
Despite Promise of 1 0 Per
Cent Reduction Soon.
WASHINGTON. D. C, Dec 14. Re
quest for a six-months' suspension in
the reductions ordered by the inter
state commerce commission on grain,
grain products and hay In the trans
Mississippi territory was made by the
railroads and opposed by 15 western
state railroad commissions, agricul
tural organizations and shippers in
hearings today before the federal
trade commission.
Alfred P. Thorn, general counsel for
the association of railway executives,
in proposing the suspension, asked
that the commission allow the car
riers In the meantime to make effec
tive a cut of 10 per cent In rates on
all products, of farm, range and or
chard in all movements; in the United
States otside of New England.
Other Reductions Cited.
Clifford Thome, appearing for
western agficltral associations, said
that prices of all commodities except
railroad transportation had dropped
materially in the last year, while this
had Increased. J. M. Benton, attorney
for the state commission, asserted
that the commission had found the
grain reduction reasonable and that
accordingly it would not be legal to
maintain higher rates.
Railroad traffic officials declared
they were ready to make the 10 per
Pent reduction effective December 31.
The commission's orders, unless
changed' by the rehearing today, will
require rates on bread grains and
their products and hay to be reduced
by 12V4 per cent, 17 per cent and
16 2-3 per cent of the charges in
effect during government control,
according to territory, and in addi
tion, require a 10 per cent lower
rate fixed on corn and other coarse
grains than is charged on wheat
Present charges on coarse grains
equal wheat rates.
Reduction Is Opposed.
Sweeping reductions in transporta
tion charges at the present time
would not assist a full resumption of
business activity, and would be in
jurious to the railroads, Howard
Elliott, chairman of the board of the
Northern Pacific and a director of
the New Haven, declared in the open
ing statement.
