Japanese
Question Is No Longer
Annoying Calif ornians.
Issue Is
Not Political Factor
in Campaign of Today.
Put Aside
-By David Lawrerice-
4C'miriht by The Journal)
Fan Francisco. Oct. 11. Talk of war
with Japan which has been so char
acteristic of the Pacific, Coast for a
long time has at
last subsided.
It's the most sig
nificant develop
ment of the last
12 ' months and,
although opinion
as to whether .the
conference on the
limltatioi;f arm
ament Was the
prlifcipal factor or
the quiet and ef
fective work of
the business men1
of this region, the
fact is tle war
scare is gone.
This is not to say that the Japanese
problem the question of competition
in agriculture and th' -ictlon of races,
has disappeared. put agitation over
that has diminished. 7
The people of California do not argue
the matter tHey have had their say
on the questidn of leasing land. Japan
regulates the basing; of land to aliens
and so does California.'
LAND ISSUE PAST
It isn't a subject of negotiation be
tween the United States and the Japa
nese governments and hence it may be
considered as a past issue. Proof of
this may be seen even, in the attitude
of newspapers which two or three
years ago would have displayed with
big headlines news of an appeal of a
Japanese land case through the courts
an item that wan buried In small
space the other day in most papers.
; Perhaps it is that the politicians
-have ceased to use. the Japanese prej
udice as - a vote-getter. Perhaps it
is that the electorate has tired of, the
issue but witness the state of Cali
fornia in the midst of a gubernatorial
and senatorial campaign and the "Tel
low Peril" to not even, mentioned.
; Speaking of California's political af
fairs, this state hag managed as usual

FACTS FOR GRAJTD JCHT
Kirk said all the. evidence in the
charges of assault would be taken- di
rectly to the grand jury after the evi

plumbing, tools had been disposed of.
When police inspectors began to
question Hanson shortly after his ar

alarmed and admitted at once all re
sponsibility for the theft of the plumb

for burglary-
"I am a burglar ; that Is my profes

"I make my living that way, but 1

APPLE CROP TO
COME THIS WAY
Portland may handle the bulk of the
apple crop of the Columbia river dis
trict this season in export on ocean
carriers because of the lack" of refrig
erator cars for rail transportation. This
city has been selected by Hood River
shipping interests for the port through
which to ship the bulk of the apple
crop of the district, using refrigerator
steamships that make Portland their
western headquarters.
The same action is i being taken by
other districts along the Columbia
riner.
The movement of the record cropf
apples through Portland this season
would mean the filling of many steam
ships which would add to this city's
prestige as a shipping port.
Failure of Kastern , lines to return
refrigerator cars belonging to Western
railroads has precipitated a serious

TAX BURDEN

Equitable Assessments and Ehd

cratic Candidate for Governor
Preaching the doctrine ;of lower
taxes, insisting that public ! money is

warning that the time has come when
the governmental machinery must put
on the brakes or skid into bankruptcy.
Walter M. Pierce, Democratic candi
date for governor, made his first Port
land address . of .the campaign before
the Jackson club, at its meeting at

The room in which the club holds
its meetings was ' too small for the
occasion and those who came to hear
the candidate filled it to standing
room, packed tne entrance way ana
overflowed into the hall.

during the early part of his speech,

in November, I am going to be the

CHEST ELIMINATES
WELFARE BUREAU
Public welfare bureau officials were
startled and the orderly business of
the tax supervision and conservation
commission was upset this morfling at
201 coarthouse, where the commission
is holding hearings on county budgets,
when it was announced that the Com
munity Chest had practically shut off
the welfare bureau from help.
The commission, seeing visions of a
welfare burerau without funds tohelp
the poor efficiently, adjourned to meet
later with officials of the bureau, the
chest and the county commission for
a general showdown.
The facts . came out when the tax
body took uj for discussion the wel
fare bureau; budget as submitted by
the county commission. Last year this
budget was ; $80,000, and to pay the
operating expenses of the bureau and
for part of the actual relief work, the
chest supplied about $70,000. It was
expected that the county would again
vote $80,000, but the budget when it
appeared was for $100,000.
"How's this? Chairman Mulkey of
the tax body asked.
County Commissioner Holman then
explained that the chest officials had
aitnounced during the last few days
that it was going to cut its allotment
to the welfare bureau down to $27,000,
just enough to cover operating ex
penses, and the county would have to
pay for all the relief work. So the
county commissioners, faced by a
grave shortage for the welfare bureau,
had raised the budget from $80,000 to
$100,000. ,
Xelson Pike, chairman of the finance
committee for the bureau, spoke on the
bureau's needs, and Secretary Gephart
said he believed there would be a
small sum left from the budget at the
end of this year.
"The conservation commission ap
proves the work of the welfare bu
reau," said Chairman Mulkey," and the
only criticism is that sometimes H
has run over its budget."

The dead are Mike Lenner, Charles

Polluted canned beans ' or poisoned

th blame upon a mess of beans eaten

HITS CAR
Vehicle Burns, , Driver Bruised
and Unidentified Boy Suffers
Broken Arm and Leg in Crash
With ! Mt. Scott Street Car.
Two personi were badly Injured and
a milk truck destroyed by fire In a
headon, collison between the truck and
a Mount Scott street car at o'clock
this morning at Etost 12th and .Steph
ens streets. ' ,'' ; ."'"
Joe Pashco. driver. Is in St. Vincents
hospital ; with several bad cuts and
bruises, and his 14-year-otd boy helper,
who refused to divulge his name, lies
on another bed with a ' broken 1 arm
and broken leg and with fearful burns
which may, prove fatal. r 1;
Police were Informed later In the day
that a lad named Edward Lawler had
applied for work af' a. ranch near
Pashco's Tuesday and was referred to
Pashco, Police Inspectors Westcott
and Perslnger, who, Investigated, be
ileve the lad a runaway. Pashco said
the boy had been given a Job, but. did
not say who he was or where he had
come from. T
Police and the street car company
officials were unable to figure out
the cause lof the accident. The Mt,
Scott car was traveling north on East
12th street from the Sellwood barn to
Hawthorne: avenue." Space, for vehicu
lar traffic is particularly wide at this
point, as but a single track lines the
street. Motorman A. S. Close said ,
he saw the truck coming toward him,
but did not dream that Pascho would;
hit him head on, with so much room to
either the right or left. An investiga
tion of the region has failed to show,
whether - the truck wheels- became N
lodged in .the car tracks, or whether
Pascho "attempted to 'cut across In
front of the car and turn into Steph
ens street.
In the collision the truck was thrown
back 25 feet and immediately set on
fire. Before Close and Conductor L. -Lk
Morgan could get to th "truck the
boy was ' badly burned by gasoline
flames. : - - . - ' - .
-Cause of the -fire lias not been deter
mined by Assistant Fire Marshal Rob.'
erts, -' but It is . believed , that sparks
from the grinding brakes of the street
car set fire to the gasoline which was
spilled, all oyer the street.: Emergency
calls were sent in for the fir depart-,
ment. -police and ambulapc. but be
fore the ; firs -department arrived th
truck was destroyed.
7 Pashco was .too dased to give his
version of th accident. His , dairy,
the Mayflower dairy, is on the Lak
road, south -and east of, Mllwauki. v
7 Roberts said there wer but six bot
tles of milk left in . the truck stter
the accident. The street was not only
covered with gasoline but' also 'with
milk and broken slaas. 1 ,
