YELLOW PLAGUE IS
NOW ON THE WANE
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EMPLOY
Frs SHOW LOYALTY
Hotels and Clubs, as Well as Orange
Growers, Discharge Hundreds of
Japanese to Provide Work
for White Men

Southern California, despite the preva-
lent fear of yellow plague" has in the
last few weeks demonstrated a COM
mendable loyalty to her American citi-
zenship, and not a few of her Weather
employers have given us a good ex-
ample Of what the Japanese and other
orientals may expect should a real,
actual panic confront us.
That the orientals would find little
sympathy, and in many instances be
driven back to their native countries
by the sheer force of necessity, seems
probable.
When retrenchment among the big
employers was threatened, and great
many white laborers were left without
employment, Southern California men
who had been employing Japanese at
once discharged them, and the white
men who wished to take their places
were allowed to do so. In a number of
instances, it is said, the wages of the
white men have been raised in con-
sideration of their superior work.
Hundreds of Japanese have been
thrown out of employment in Southern
California in the last month.
In the orange grove sections a move
ment is now on foot, and in many dis
t-icts has been executed, which elm
mates the japanese plckers entirely
and substitutes white men.
League Is Formed
An Unemployed Mems league has
been formed, and big orange growers
are voluntarily fostering the move IL
supplant the brown men. In Riverside,
Ontario and elsewhere the Japanese
pickers have been almost entirely
thrown out of work.
All of this goes to show that Southern
California employers, as rule, are
loyal citizens and are not slow to recog-
nize duty to their fellow men.
These moves, at such times and under
such circumstances are altogether UNI
known in many communities where the
opposite is the custom. When panicsi
or even ordinary hard times come, In
some places the orchardist or other
employer who uses much help Will ire
quently discharge white men and sub
stitute Japanese or Chinese. That the
opposite is the reverse here speaks well
for us.
A leading cafe proprietor in Los An
geles Cal Levy is reported to have dis
charged twenty-five Japanese last
week.
The California club has turned away
fifteen.
The Union League club also dis
charged about sixteen.
The Hotel Potter at Santa Barbara
discharged seventy-five.
c. M Pierce, balloon route" excur-
sion manager, discharged twenty-five
Japanese from his hotel at Playa de-
Rey, and the trolley and steam lines
have discharged hundreds from theiI
construction gangs.
Local Hotels Act
At the Angelus, Van Mugs and other
big hotels where scores of Japanese
were employed, there now remain but
few, and these in positions which
white men dislike to fill.
Two Japanese are now employed al
the fashionable Jonathan club, where
formerly, 1t is said, there were over
twenty.
So on down the line from Santa Bar
bara to San Diego. from Yuma to Lone
Beach, the Japanese are being rapidly
replaced by white men, thus alleviat-
ing In great measure the, deprivation

CIT PRISON
VICTIMS ILL
THREE INMATES TAKEN DOWN
FROM HIGH FEVER
FORCED TO SLEEP ON IRON
FLOORS TILL OVERCOME
Only One Drinking Cup, Which Reeks
with Germs-Men Drink from
Their Hands-contaelous
Diseases Present

Three more unfortunate prisoners at
the city Jail are i'll as the result Of the
insanitary and overcrowded conditions
prevalent in this modern BLACK Hole
of Calcutta"
The latest victims are Joseph Carter.
Murray Emmett and r. Evans. These
men were convicted of misdemeanors.
Emmett is suffering from a fever sim
liar to typhoid, said to have been con-
tracted from breathing the foul air and
having to sleep on the cold floor in the
upper tank.
Evans and Carter also have a high
fever, but in a milder form. Their ILL
ness was caused in the same manner
as Emmets.
They say there is about one cot to
every five men, and the prisoners who
are not favorites of the TRUSTEES have
to sleep on the iron floors.
According to these prisoners, there is
only one cup to drink from in the up
per tank, and many of the inmates
drink out of their hands rather than
use the cup, which Is old, rusty and
laden with disease germs caused by It's
use by men who are suffering with
various contagious maladies.
The plan of adding new floors in the
tanks will only make room for more
prisoners, and will not help the sani-
tary condition, as the arrangements
will not add to the air space of the
already sitting atmosphere of the
prison.
Advocates Shaft Fans
A prominent business man of Los
Angeles suggests way to ameliorate
the crowded condition of the city Jail.
He urges the installation of electric
fans.
Relief in the way of fresh air can
easily be afforded those poor unfor-
Inmates" he said, by simply putting
IN a couple of suction or exhaust fans,
one that will bring fresh air in and one
that wilt force the bad air out. 1t is
the same principle used to- supply min
ers with air when tunneling thousands
Of feet under ground.
I'm the case of the Jail 1t probably
would only require the installing of one
fan, this to force out the bad air, as
there il probably sufficient ventilation
to let in enough fresh air, and this Will
naturally force its way in when the
bad air is driven out.
"By the aid of these fans the air in
The Jail could be changed every few
minutes, and while the council is
wranglng over building a new Jail
these fans could be installed at very
moderate cosr and be the means of
saving the lives of some of the unfor-
tunates.

CONFERENCES
Conference of Governors Viii Form
Permanent Organization.
Declare for Preservation OF Natural
Resources of Country-Co-opera-
ton Only Way to Work for 6est
Interests of .All--Results Expected
TO Be Far-reachiag.

Washington, May 16.-The first con
ferences of the governors of the states
of tho American Union ended yesterday
Like many of the important events Of
history, time is to reveal the epoch
which the president and governors be
lieve has been made. The accomplish
ments Of the conference, which has
been in session at the White House for
three days, cannot be set forth with
mathematical precision. That its i'm
mediate results are more than ample ia
the expression of President Roosevelt,
who brought it about, and of the gov
ernors who participated.
The printed record of the conference,
American home, will be compilation
of facts, startling in their meaning,
convincing in their universal conelu-
sion, that the states and the nation must
co operate to the end that to the whole
people of the nation may accrue the
lasting benefits of its natural resources.
Besides the compilation of facts by the
experts and the freely expressed opinion
of the governors, the conference leaves
as its permanent record thousand
words of declaration, not "dec-
laration of independence, but dec
laration of cooperation. "
Perhaps greater in Importance than
all else was the determination of the
governors of the states to perfect per
manent organization, whereby here
tofore unknown intimacy may be devel-
oped among the executives of the 46
sovereign states made strong by com
mon purpose and made potent by pro-
nouncements which may not lightly be
disregarded.
Of the last day the story is one of
many features The set programme was
swept aside. The president presided
throughout. He interjected remarks
and speeches. He brought to the plat
form men who made plain the prevail
ing feeling that thoughtful care must
be exercised for the future. The pre-
pared papers were not presented, but
they will be printed in the permanent
record. Their place was first taken by
the declaration" which was adopted
after discussion which brought to light
no serious objection to it's affirmation.
Then William J. Bryan was presented
by the president. He touched the same
chords which had produced the vibra.
ton Of harmony and cooperation. A
governors discussion brought many
state executives to the platform. but
the product was altogether that of har
mony, and the sentiments expressed
were applauded alike by all.
