JAPANESE PROTEST
AGAINST EXCLUSION

4 long, loud wall is to be made to
Of Hawaii over the order issued some
time ago prohibiting them from go
ing from the Islands to the mainland.
A petition is being circulated, ad-
dressed to the President, and, of
course, freely signed by the interest
ed subjects of the Mikado, protesting
against the exclusion order and ask
ing that it be rescinded. The claims
of the petitioners cover eight closely
typewriter pages. and are summed
up at the end in the following words:
ITO sum it up, the executive order
prohibiting the Hawaiian Japanese
to remove their residence to the
States, issued in pursuance of the
new immigration law, is impOlitic in
that it establishes dangerous prece-
dent in the Republics future, and in
that it disturbs the Japanese-Ameri-
can international relation by injur-
ing the feelings of the two people; it
infringes the existing treaty between
Japan and America, it is unconstitu-
tional, and also in that it deprives
so, 900 Japanese of Hawaii of their
liberty without due process of law; it
deprives Hawaii of any possible OPP
portunity of becoming Americanize1

sent, Mr. President, that it is inhu-

A narrow escape from burning te

Jones. a farmer living near Miller, and
his daughter and another lady. They
had put heavily charged footwarm-

Miller, and when far out on the lonely
prairie on their way home the daugh-
ter felt her feet getting uncomfortably
hot. Investigation showed that the
bottom of the wagon was on fire anA
that the bottoms of the women's
clothes were blazing.
The three frightened occupants Of
the wagon at once sprang out and
threw their clothes and laprobes to the
ground, escaping with but one blanket
to keep them warm on their journey
home. The groceries in the back OF
the buggy box were all burned up. The
smoldering fire had eaten nearly
through the buggy seat on which the
three had been riding and was attack
ing the cushion when discovered. None
of the parties was seriously injured.
