Special trains carrying State delega-
tions Of Christian Endeavorers con-
tinued to arrive at the railroad depot

The local Endeavor committees kept
sturdily at their posts, and every
courtesy was accorded the visitors, who
seemed to be good natured, even
though they were a day late for the
opening of the great International Con-
vention at San Francisco.
Fruits and flowers were laviShly dis
tributed among the Fasteners, and
while short stops were made, they We're

hospitality knew no bounds.
According to the estimate made by
the Southern Pacific officials yesterday,

all of whom were received with Chris

Section 3TT6, Political Code requires
that the certificate issued by the col
lector to the purchaser at a tax sale
shall specify the time at which the
purchaser will be entitled to a deed.
Herein the statute has reference to the
time when the right of the purchaser

court may then be open to his suit for
its enforcement.
If property sold for taxes is offered
for sale to the party who would take
the least quantity of the land and pay
the tax, it cannot be objected that the
entire lot was sold for the taxes, if no
smaller part was bid for.

When a work is approved in its home

those who know the truth about it, it
is evidence of it's high worth. The in
terror press has cordially approved and
warmly commended the handsome eX-
pository volume issued by the State
Board of Trade as a souvenir for pre-
sentation to the Christian Endeavor eX-
cursionists now in the State. The vol
ume is geographically handsome and
artistically attractive, but it's value re-
sides in the concise, clear cut and lucid
articles concerning the resources, his
tory, peculiar climatology and con-
ditions of California. 1t is not un-
duly Iaudatory; it is extravagant in
nothing; it makes no statements not
justified by the truth; it is not a boom
volume. and it makes no concealment of
its purpose, namely, to set before our
guests fairly and within short space
facts concerning this heritage of ours

JAPAN AND HAWAII.

The Hawaiian Gazette" of June 4th.
just at hand, states the case Of that
country in the issue with Japan as fol-
lows:
The law is plain, and the action based
upon the law speaks for itself; as
State which reserves the right to ad-
minister its own business, Hawaii
throws the burden Of proof, the re-
sponsibility of showing that a wrong
has been committed upon the shoulders
of Japan. Hawaii maintains that the
contracts held by the rejected immi
grants were net vaid-in short, that
the men did not fulfill the qualifications
required Of lahorers entering the Ha-
waiian Islands. If Japan believes 9th
erwise it must prove its case. Japan
seems to have assumed an equally
stiff -necked position by practically as
serting that its subjects have been the
victims of unjust discrimination.
Of course, the burden of proof is upon
Japan. 1t has the affirmative, and
ever, that it assumes the right to rest
upon it's charge, and requires the lit
tie Republic to prove that the japanese
rejected by the immigration Commis~
sioner had no right to land But so
far as Hawaii is concerned. when il
rejected the men and gave the reasons
for rejection, it did all it is called upon
to do until Japan makes a case affirna-
lively against the order of rejection.

SEARCH WARRANT ISSUED
Bartl and Smith Want TO Recover Note es
Of a Survey Of Proposed
Bicycle Path.

A search warrant was served yester-
day on Arthur Frothingham at the in
stance of Bartl and Smith, the civil
engineers, to recover notes made by
them on the survey of bicycle route
to Hawley. Mr.. rockingham was
taken before Alderman Millar and was
compelled to surrender the important
papers. The trouble is associated with
the mysterious disappearance of val
liable map from Bartl and Smiths
office on oct. 22, for which a great
hunt has been made with no definite
success.
The notes were wanted by the sur
veyors to he used in a case which, they
say, they will institute against those
interested in the proposed bicycle path
to recover 1926, due for work done in
surveying the route and constructing
a map.
Mr. Frothingham obtained the notes
in Bartl and Smiths office and yester-
day Mr. Smith learned that Street
commissioner A. B. Dunning, jr., was
about to make another map from the
notes of the survey.
search warrant was sworn out be-
fore Alderman Millar and was placed
in the hands of Special officer John
Tierney Accompanied by Mr.. Smith,
officer Tierney entered Mr.. Dunning's
Office and found Mr.. rockingham with
the notes in his hand. He was taken
before Alderman Millar and after a
short hearing surrendered the notes.
surveyor Smith stated last night that
warrant charging Mr.. rockingham
with larceny Dy bailee has been sworn
out and will be served today.
In regard to the map which was
probably stolen, Surveyor Smith states
that 1t was the result of twelve days
field work of a corps of engineers and
six weeks office work in engrossing
the map.
Mr.. rockingham last night, in
speaking of the notes in question, said:
MIR. Smith read off those notes and ]
took them down in lead pencil and was
to have six copies made, one for court
| and one for Bartl and Smith, one for
the company, the others for the at
! torneys. They can have the copy any
time. To copy these notes it took parts
of five or six days. l did it when Mr.
| Smith had leisure from his mine work
| and sometimes his men would read
! them to me. Mr.. Smith swore I took
those notes from him. l will have him
| arrested for perjury"
He offers to leave the settlement OF
| Bartl & Smiths claim to any three dis.
| interested civil engineers in this city.
