MAYOR WAS THWARTED
Democrats Vote for Republican to
Fill Vacancy on Board of
Education.

Logan, April 12.-Dr. George Thomas of
the. Agricultural college has been elected
a member of the city board of educa-
ton, in place Of Professor Alexander
Lewis, resigned. When Mr. Lewis re-
signed II left two Republicans and two
Democrats on the board. and when it
came to choosing a man for the vacancy
the Democrats proposed that a mass
meeting be held in the Second ward and
the people allowed to choose a man to
fill the place, but the Republicans, fear
ing that they might lose control of the
board, refused to accede to this propo-
sition. The Democrats thereupon an
nounced that they would stand out for
a Democratic member. so in order to
keep their. grip .on the situation the local
Republicans had Senator Bullen intro
duce a bill in the closing days of the
legislature providing that in case of q
deadlock in boards of education the may
or shall appoint. 1t was rushed through
and therefore the two Democrats on the
board voted for DR.. Thomas. a Republican
in order to defeat Joseph E. Cowley, the
mayors man for the place.

EASY FOR JAPS
TO GET ACROSS
LabOrerS Coming Over the BOr-
der From Mexico in Spite of
immigration Officials.
SURE TO CAUSE TROUBLE
EXCLUSION LAW DOES NOT
APPLY.

Washington, April 13.-Under the
regulations governing the entrance into
this country of japanese laborers, there
is no way of preventing the japanese
from Honolulu trans-shipping at San
Francisco for British Columbia. 1t is
evident from inquiries that have been
made by officials of this government
that the Japanese. to whom the Jap
anese government issues passports TO
Mexico or to the Hawaiian islands,
have no intention of remaining there.
Their destination, as the labOrers them
eeIvos have admitted on crOss-exam-
nation. is the United States. Recently
several hundred Japanese labOrers
we're mterrOgated in Mexico as to their
intentions. Every one of them said
no expected sooner or later to reach
tbis country. Some of them were in
serious financial straits. They were
awaiting opportunity to get across the
border into this country The same is
rrIc Of Japanese who are going to Brit
ish Columbia There is no work for
them there and they expect to get into
the United States as soon as possible.
Does Not Apply 20 Japs.
The regulations governing the exclu-
sion Of Chinese labOreTs do not apply
10 the japanese Iaborers. When Chi
uese laborers ship in transit through
the United states to another country q
photograph is taken of each individ-
uaI and the railroad or steamship COM
pany carrying him is required to give
the government a bond to prevent his
escape. It is different with the Japan
csc 80 photographs are taken. and
no bonds are exacted from the trans
p0rtatiOn company. If a Japanese Ia
borer escapes from the train or steam
ship while in transit the government
has no recourse. That many Of them
do take advantage of the opportunity
afforded them to get into this country
is known officially, but there is no way
under the regulations to prevent them
from embracing the opportunity.
Merely OnIookers.
Commissioner Sargent of the bureau
Of immigration declines TO discuss the
subject, but il is known that Secretary
Straus of the department of commerce
and labor is keeping IN close touch with
the situation. He, too, is reticent.
Trouble is being experienced in han
ding the question, however, particular
" In relation to the japanese immi-
grants who are arriving in Mexico. 1t
is practically impossible to prevent
them from being struggled across the
border and the government has no
means of identifying them after they
reach this country. The question is
likely to become more serious in the
near future.
