SAME TBEATMENT
FOR ILL RAGES
THAT IS THE GIST Q.F THE DE
MAND OF JAPAN IN HER
PROTEST.
QUESTION IS RACIAL ONE
Jingoism Ie Decried — The Situation
Still Causes Anxiety at
Washington.
Tokio, Japan.—Faith In the Ameri
can people to see that justice is done
the Japanese is the dominating note
in the discussion of the California
alien land ownership legislation.
War talk is denounced as ridiculous
and only calculated to embarrass the
two governments which are laboring
for a peaceful settlement by diplo
macy.
It is conceded, however, that failure
on the part of the Americans to re
spond to the Japanese appeal for a
limitation would be liable to lead to
some estrangement of the peoples. The
Japanese public generally is convinced
that the land bill is a racial and not
an economic measure, and hence a
blow to national pride, and the people
feel that the world must be taught
the necessity of equal treatment for
the whites and non-whites.
The Tokio newspapers are loud in
their praise of President Wilson's zeal
in his endeavors to preserve the tra
ditional friendship, and they recognize
the difficulties which confront the
president of the United States in the
confusing conflict between state and
federal rights.
The Niehl Niehl is of the opinion
that the question as to whether the
Washington government can procure
for the Japanese equal rights depends
upon the strength of Japanese diplo
macy, and urges the government to
take a firm attitude.
WAR SHRIEKERS DENOUNCED
Secretary Bryan Scores Interests That
Want Armament Profits.
Washington, -r- Vigorous denuncia
tion of a "subsidized patriotism which
seeks to create war because of the
profits in armor plate and battleships,
and of the ‘‘sensational and mercenary
newspapers which prefer big, scare
head lines to the truth,” marked an ad
dress by Secretary Bryan here at a
Hague anniversary meeting held under
the auspices of the Washington Peace
Society. It was in celebration of the
fourteenth anniversary of the first
meeting at The Hague.
"War is In the interest of a few peo
ple, not of all," Mr, Bryan declared.
“The profits are garnered by a few,
while the masses pay the taxes. A feu
men gain glory, while the mothers of
the nations furnish the sons who make
food for battlefields. War rests up
on feeling, not upon necessity. Back of
much of the furore for war is a self
ish interest in the manufacture of bat
tleships. And there are men so unpa
triotic that they try to stir up trouble
In another country against their own.

Flies From Key West to Havana.
Key West, Fla.—The first success
ful flight from the United States to
Cuba, over the Gulf of Mexico, was
made by Domingo Rosillo, a Cuban avi
ator. A prize of SIO,OOO was offered
for the accomplishment of the feat,
which was unsuccessfully attempted
in 1911 by Aviator McCurdy. Rosillo
left the terminal of the Florida East
Coast railroad in a gale of wind at
5:30 o’clock in the morning. His
Moissant machine was not equipped
with pontoons. This fact, in addition
to the unfavorable weather conditions,
rendered the flight extremely hazard
ous. The aviator skimmed across the
intervening stretch of water without
mishap, arriving at his destination at
8:10 o’clock p. m.
Four Killed in Auto Wreck.
Warren, Ohio. —Three women and

cupants were carried for 200 yards on

Cattle Quarantine Raised.
Washington.—As a result of prog
ress made in the co-operative work of
eradicating cattle mange by federal

ton of the department of agriculture
has issued an order effective June 1,
releasing from quarantine the counties
of Brooks, Hidalgo and Jim Wells, in
the southern part of Texas. The ter
ritory in Texas remaining in quaran

CHARLES BURNS REDUCED
Assistant Foreman in Weather Bureau
Hepled His Chief.
Washington.—Charles T. Burns, an
assistant foreman in the weather bur
eau, suspended at the time of the dis
missal of Chief Wills L. Moore, was
reduced in rank and salary by Secre
tary Houston, who declared Burns
"guilty of misconduct in the perfor
mance of his duties.”
Moore was dismissed for “serious ir
regulaties” and missuse of his office, of
which it was alleged he had been guil
ty in his campaign for appointment
as secretary of agriculture in President
Wilson’s cabinet. The case was re
ferred to the department of justice for
Investigation. Burns was charged with
complicity.

the case disclosed, an official state
ment says, that on December 27, 1912,
Burns recommended that an inspec
tion of weather bureau printing plants
iu various cities was necessary in the
interest of economy and efficiency
“whereas the trip was planned by
Moore for the.primary purpose of pro
moting his candidacy tor appointment
as secretary of agriculture and not for
the promotion of economical or effi
cient admisistration of the bureau."
