WANTS $500 FOR A GAME
Manager Glenn of the Santa Fes Does
Not Feel Like Putting Up
Amount

1t is uncertain whether or not San
Bernardino will be one Of the places
selected for baseball game between
the Santa Fes of the Gate city, and
the famous White Sox team, as Man
ager Glenn Of San Bernardino thinks
high.
When the White Sox played Redlands
last year only 500 was demanded, but
Tor game at San Bernardino, on a
choice of dates sometime in March.
the manager Of the White Sox de-
manded $780,
The game no doubt would prove a big
attractlon, but just the same Manager
Glenn does not feel inclined to come
through with this amount.
If arrangements can be made by sub
scription, Glenn will try and bring the
champions to the Gate city. The Santa
Fes have been putting UP fast article
Of ball and hold the lead by a. safe
margin.

BANKER SWINDLED OUT or
$4,000 BY BUNKO ARTISTS

but Finds One Is the
Wrong Man

DENVER, Colo, Feb. 2.--Victim to
the extent of $4,000 in an alleged con-
f1dence game, J. E. Blue, bank presi-
dent and capitalist of Princeton, Mo-,
came to Denver last night, believing
the police had arrested the men who
victimiZed him.
The police had under arrest a man
whom the sheriff of Princeton had been
trailing, and another man named ].
Jones, alias West, said to be impIi-
Gated. Jones has been held, but the
man under arrest proved to be the
wrong one, although Chief of Police
Armstrong says the right man is in
Chicago and that he has notified the
Chicago police to arrest him.
Mr.. Blue informed the chief that on
October IL last he was induced to bet
$4,000 on a horse in race at Council
Bluffs The race was declared a dead
heat, and it was agreed to run it again
at Springfield, Mo-, month later. In
the meantime the stakeholder disap-
peared with the money.

FEDERAL OFFICIALS WATCH
CALIF0RNIANS
ANTI-JAPANEsE BILLS CAUSE
MUCH CONCERN
Fact That Labor Leaders Do Not Par.
tlcipate in Exclusion Movement
Inspires Confidence In
Washington
TBy Associated Press.l

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-No other
question is absorbing the concern OF
the administration at this moment to
the same extent as are certain phases
of the anti-Japanese agitation in Cali
fornia.
The president has been in communica-
ton with many, persons who should be
thoroughly informed as to the condi-
tons on the Pacific coast.
1t is admitted that a systematic agi-
tatton has been in progress on tile
coast. but significant feature OF its
lack of strength was the fact that the
labor leaders had taken no prominent
part in it.
1t even has been stated to the admin
iStration that the handspring Of the
agitation was to be found in some OF
the great corporations that had found
their profitable business Of coolie trans
portation threatened with destruction
by the success attending the efforts OF
the administration to stop this class OF
immigration.
For the fact is that, in the opinion
Of the administration, the negotiations
with Japan for a virtually complete
closure Of American ports to the entry
Of japanese laborers are jeopaTdized
by the extreme utterances of certain
persons in California and by the mere
consideration of such resolutions as
were entertained yesterday by the Ne
vada legislature.
Treaties Endangered
Even agreements already reached
which are being carried out in good
faith by the Japanese government, are
regarded as endangered in the sense
that the present agitation might very
naturally tend to abate the interest o.
the Japanese officials in the execution
Of their obligations.
1t is these considerations that have
Influenced the president to conclude
that everything possible should be done
to prevent legislation by any state that
would discriminate against the Jap
anese as a class apart from other for
eign elements entering America.
There is no objection whatever by the
administration to laws prohibiting al
aliens from holding land in America.
This is now, under the revised statutes
the law in the District of Columbia and
in the territories and in some of the
states. Indeed there is a similar law in
japan and the government Of thai
country consequently could not regard
it as anti-Japanese legislation if adopt
ed in California.
The president has entire confidence ir
the people of the Pacific coast and is
certain they will do right In this mat
ter.
The administration is much pleased
with the tone of the speech Of Premier
Komura in the japanese diet today, sc
far as 1t touched the relations between
America and Japan.
