NEWS NOTES OF CURRENT W EES Resame o f World’s Important Events Told in Brief. INSIST ON EXCLUSION BILL California Will Oppose Wilson and Stand on State’s Rights. Sacramento—Through the exchange of telegrams between President Wil son and Governor Johnson, the settled policy of the California administration on the question of alien land owner ship, as agreed on last Sunday was officially made known. Governor Johnson and his party leaders in the senate favor a land bill excluding from ownership all aliens who are ineligible to citizenship under the laws of the United States, and such law probably will be passed, in spite of the objections from Washing ton. The assertion is made by the gover nor that the state has full authority to enact such a law, and that it would not be in contravention of any exist- ¡ng treaty_ He ¡s upheld in this view by the majority leaders in the senate, who met with him and agreed on the form of the telegraphic reply that was sent to President Wilson’s message. Opposition to the administration program will come from the Demo crats, aided by a few Republicans who are opposed to anti-alien legislation of any kind. Senator Camanetti will seek to avoid using the words “ ineligi ble to citizenship” in the bill, as be ing offensive to the Japanse, and on this point the real fight of the meas ure will be waged. California refuses to honor the ex pense bill of Secretary Knox’a trip to the Coast. War talk led to a fight between a Jap and a Finn at San Francisco. Both were arrested.

San Francisco—The first application of California’s new law for the recall of the judiciary has been successful. By a margin of 815 votes Police Judge Weller, accused of incompetence, was removed from office at a special elec tion here. Wiley F. Crist, an attorney put for ward by women voters, who were chiefly active in the campaign, was named as Weller's successor. The vote was light, but the recall contest was spirited and close. Crist’s total was 30,722, against Weller’s 29,907. Wilson Auto in Peril. Washington, D. C.

Watch Eugene Innovation. Oregon Agricultural College, Cor vallis—Students of dairy husbandry at Oregon Agricultural college who have been keeping records of milk and but ter fat production of a number of the younger cows in the college herd have just closed a month’s test on Amy’s Euybria Daughter (260,822), a 3-year- old Jersey, and the report showing that the produced 46.77 pounds of butter fat indicates that she may easily establish a record making her eligible for the Jersey register of merit. The requirement of butter fat from a Jersey of this age is 292.8 pounds during the year, an average of 24.4 pounds per month. Amy’s Euybria Daughter has given 22.37 pounds above the standard. Her total pro duction during the month was 975 pounds of milk with an average per centage of fat amounting to 4.797. This is equivalent to 55.02 pounds of 85 per cent butter. This test was supervised by E. R. Stockwell, of the department of dairy husbandry, who says that the record is not remarkable, but above the average of many dairy cows which return a good profit for their keep. IkCLronicta of Æ ldiriçlon Peace % Eugene — Much interest throughout the state is being taken in the Eugene Coffee club, according to Professor E. E. DeCou, president of the organiza tion backing the undertaking. Two students of Pacific University have written him for information, as they plan to open a similar institution in the “ North End” of Portland this summer. Dr. Alfred G. Schmidt, banker and a philanthropist of Albany, has in vited Professor DeCou to go to that city and address a meeting of business men on the subject of a coffee club, and President Homan, of Willamette Uni versity, when he was here attending the dedication of the Methodist church recently, said Salem would do well to follow the plan. The Eugene Coffee club is intended to be a self-sustaining club for work ingmen, offering free reading and game rooms, and a lunch counter, where plain food may be obtained at a minimum price. A free employment bureau is maintained in connection with the club. The Coffee club was an outgrowth of discussion in the Municipal league nearly a year ago of methods to be MUST TAKE WHAT’S OFFERED used in keeping Eugene in the “ dry” column. jd B y .
