japanese said:
We wanted the emigration laws of
Japan adjusted so that enough skilled
isborers and farmers could obtain ad-
mittsnce TO this state to settle on the
lands and cultivate the resources OF the
state.
But this is the very opposite Of the
governments policy They have made
the restrictions very hard at the re-
quest OF the United States. Great
Britain advised them TO do so. AS the
law IS nov only recognized Japanese
merchants who furnish securities that
they are not going to be laborers and
travellers who do likewise are admitted.
We are going TO think over the plan Of
raising money among the japanese here
to do politics in Japan IN favor OF can

lived in California a part of their lives.
We want 10 representatives who under
stand conditions here.

Eddie Smith Chosen to
Referee Next Mill
HanI0n Names the Oakland NJ an
and Moran Quickly Gives
His Consent
By Spike

Eddie Smith. the popular Oakland
referee, last night added another one
to his recent long string Of winners by
being chosen as the third man In the
ring when Owen Moran and Eddie
Hanlon will meet at the Coliseum on
the last night of the month. Smith
was Hanlons choice and, seeing that
he might possibly create some i'll feel
ing and gain nothing by being arbi-
trary. the little Britisher willingly ac-
cepted the Oaklander. and thus the
last detail Of the match has been set
Both men had previously announced
that either Smith or Billy Roche would
do for them. At last nights meeting
stated that he would rather have him
than anybody else in the ring at his
next meeting. After hesitating a bit
Moran consented to take Smith and the
incident quickly closed
The men have agreed to fight under
straight Marquis of Queensbery rules.
9nd as they understand every phase of
the game the referees task does not
figure to be a very difficult one. 1t is
very likely that the coming AFFAIR will
be battle and not a boxing match
from gong to gong. and both men will
undoubtedly try to land the haymaker.
Hanlon is working at Crolls gardens.
Alameda, and Is already in good shape
for the coming mill: He weighed 1S5
pounds yesterday, winch SHOWS tnaC he
will make the weights 1872 pounds, at
8 o'clock on the afternoon of the battle
very handily. Apparently he has all
his old time staying qualities and
should put up a good rough fight.
Moran is back at San Rafael. He
has his same training gang on his
staff and is doing nicely. The little
is not attempting to make
weight this time, but he is devoting
all his attention to building up his
strength. He promises to make a rush
Ing fight of 1T against Hanlon and
hopes to score a knockout within Is
rounds.
The betting on the battle has not
opened. but from indications Hanlon
has a very good chance of being a IA
vorite with the layers of the odds His
past popularity and the fine showing
he made against Johnny Murphy few
ago are all helping him out.
He will have lot of the small bettors
on his staff and these always help any
fighter.
The Gans-Nelson pictures were not
shown last night because of a delay
in the arrival of the films from Chi
cago, 1t is likely that the opening of
the exhibition at the Novelty theatsr
will be put over till the first of next
week.
