RUPTURE WITH
JAPAN LIKELY
Should California Persist In Le6islatiHs
against Japanese War viii Almost
Certainly Be The Result.

Washington, Feb. o.-Read
between the lines, the Presidents
telegram received today by Mr..
Stanton, speaker of the Califor-
MIA Assembly, is filled with grave
forebodings.
1t was intended by the Presi-
dent to be a notification to the
people of California that if its
Legislature insists upon the en-
forcement of drastic anti-Janpan-
ese measures, a rupture of friend
ly relations between this govern
ment and Japan is most likely.
The impression is becoming
stronger day by day that the ex-
change of diplomatic notes be-
tween Japan and the United
States, recently referred to by
Foreign Minister Komura, in the
Japanese. Parliament, has pro-
ceeded farther than has been be-
lieved, and that when the Presi-
dent insists that the California
measures would be considered an
affront by Japan in case of their
enactment, he spoke with a full
knowledge of the nature of these
exchanges and the results that
would follow California; favor
able action on the bills.
Most everybody in high official
life raises his hands in depreca-
ton when there is talk of Japan
contemplating an ultimatum.
Recent callers on the President,
however, quote him as having
used the word "war" in discuss
ing the California situation.
The fact that President Roose-
velt told caller yesterday that
if a conflict was precipitated be-
tween the two governments he
would be found at the front pref
ty well established what was pass
ing through his mind, even if he
had not gone further in pointing
out the provocation that might be
cause for a rupture if anti-Japan-
ese legislation was insisted upon
by California.
President Roosevelt does not
assume the attitude he has taken
because of any fear as to the out
come of acute differences between
the two governments-for he has
repeatedly told his callers that
the United States could more than
hold her own in a physical clash
with any other nation-but he is
acting upon the idea that what
the California legislature is con-
templating would be, even in the
minds of disinterested Americans,
a violation of the favored nation
clause" of the treaty between the
two governments.
The sincere hope of admins
tration leaders generally is that
the warning which the President
has sounded in his telegram to
Speaker Stanton will be needed,
and an opportunity given for a
working out of the question as to
whether the agreement between
the two governmentsfor the re-

Sacramento, Cal, Feb. 10
Yielding to pressure brought to
bear by President Roosevelt and
Governor Gillett, the California
assembly retired from its previous
position on anti-Japanese matters
today. reconsidering the former
vote on the segregation of Japan
ese students in the public schools
and finally rejecting the measure
by vote of forty-one to thirty
seven. An effort by the support
ers of the bill to further recon-
slider was lost by a tie vote, and
the assembly is now clean of any
anti-Japanese measure objected
to by the national administration.
The fight for suppression of the
bill was only won after hours of
long and heated debate on the
floor. Commenting on the final
outcome of the struggle, Cover
nor Gillette said: 81 am highly
pleased with the action of the as
sembly. The East has been deep
ly concerned in the measures
pending here, and l feared that
If the anti-Japanese legislation
was pressed at this time, it would
have disastrous effect"
Immediately upon learning of
the action of the assembly Presi-
dent Roosevelt sent the following
telegram to CALIFORNIA; chief ex-
ecutive:
Washington, Feb. 10.
Gov. ]. N. Gillett,
Sacramento, California.
Accept my heartiest congratu-
lations. All good Americans ap-
preciate what you have done.
Pray extend my congratulations
individually to all who have aided
you. feel that the way in which
California has done what was
right for the nation makes it more
than ever obligatory on the nation
in every way to safeguard the in
terests of California. All that
personally can do toward this end
whether in public or private life,
shall most certainly be done.

There was q time, not many
years ago, when an Eastern
Shoreman could not be enticed
to do his dealing in any other
city but Baltimore. It's differ
ent now. You want to know
why ? Just remember that
a large majority of the best
white people are Democrats of
the old school and they believe
that it is necessary for the pros
perity, peace and happiness of
this section to disfranchise, as
far as possible. every worthless
irresponsible negro voter, and
then remember how Baltimore
has catered to Northen senti-
ment on this subject, rather
than to our Southern ideas. and
you will realize at once that
an Eastern Shoreman resents
it when those who should give
him sympathy and support give
him the "cold shoulder

IS NOW PROPOSED.

Governor Crothers and the
members of the State Reeds
Commission were gratified
when they learned that the
State of Pennsylvania proposes
to follow the lead of Maryland
in building a system of State
roads throughout that common
wealth and that the method
and law which they are now
trying to get through the Penn
sylvania Legislature is founded
upon and embodies most of the
Maryland features.
The appropriation proposed in
Pennsylvania is S., 900, 00O-the
same as that made in this state.
The suggestion has also been
made to the Governor from
Pennsylvania sources that if
the State of Maryland makes
an additional appropriation of
S6,000,000 for the completion of
the good roads scheme in this
state that he cooperate with
Governor Stuart and the Penn
sylvania authorities with the
view of constructing an inter
state system. A continuous
road from Baltimore to Pitts
burg is one of the things which
it is hoped by the enthusiasts
to see in the not far distant
future, with a connection at
Gettysburg. This would, it is
said, inevitably be extended to
Washington, which would mean
that Washington, Baltimore,
Pittsburg and Philadelphia
would be brought into much
closer contact than at present.
Governor Crothers says he
hopes some day to see the plan
accomplished.
Governor Crothers is inter-
ested in the report made to the
New York Legislature by Fred
erick w. Skene, State Engineer,
in which he points out that
macadam roads cannot stand
the wear and tear of automobile
traffic. The Governor realizes
that this is particularly vital to
the people of Maryland and
that to build roads here which
will be torn up and destroyed
in a few years by the rapidly
increasing number of automo-
biles would be mistake.

DATE OF DISPOSITION OF LOTS
 DECEMBER 21.
Permit Holders Probably Will Not
 Have to Come to Phoenix.

The following dispatch was received by the Republican last night:
 Parker. Ariz., Oct. 30.-Parker sub scribers are not satisfied with the vague reports of the opening of the townsite lately received through the columns of the Republican. In the Is sue of the 2Sth it stated that the open ing would be December 12th. The issue of the 30th inst. stated that said open ing would be December 21st. lnfor- tion given in the last issue suggesxs that lot holders in Parker will have to pay their expenses as well as those of their witnesses to the land office in Phoenix to prove up. This expense might be roughly estimated at one hundred dollars. besides the price of the lot.
 Secretary Ballinger, while in Parker would appoint commission to hear all proof of permit holders here in Park CT. Your subscribers in Parker would esteem it a great favor if you would give in the columns of the RepublicaD at the earliest possible date all infor- nation that is on file at the land of ing to the opening of this townsite. especially as to how to proceed in proving up. Does the land office fur nish blanks and instructions" | The opening will be on Decem Der 2l The date of December F in the first article in the Republican was an error-a transposition of figures. | Charles F. Arnold. receiver of the land office was called up last night on the receipt of this dispatch and it was read to him. He said that the Republican article of yesterday morn
 ing was as clear a statement of the case as could be made.
 Two essential things are required; proof that the conditions of the per mits have been complied with in the ! matter of improvements and the pay
 ment of the appraised value of the holdings on which the permit has been | granted. That was one of the things the permit holder agreed to do when the permit was issued. but the amount | could not then be stated since the lot had not then been appraised. l Practically the only other informa- tion on file at the land office is the appraisement list. The vital inqui- | ry in the dispatch is as to whether the permit holders will be required to make I proof at the land office
 Mir. Arnold says that they will prob | ably not be put to that expense. A | commissioner has already been se-
 lected to go to Parker to take proof though pending instructions from the | general land office announcement of the appointment is withheld.
 | As to the last inquiry the land of II flee will furnish blanks and instruc- ! tions on request.

 Then she recited one of her poems, An I've Got Home" playing softly Home, Sweet Home" on the piano. It was very much such gem as might have come from the pen of James Whitcomb Riley. In fact. her songs, as well as her stories and poetry are of the Riley and Uncle Remus" school.
