ment in orisnt

NEW YORK, March 29.-"Japan re-
CARDS the California anti-Japanese agi-

demagogues and men who had, as you
say, AN iron in the fire.
ITO talk of war is foolish. There IS
no reason for war There is every rea-

is making no preparations for war
either now or in the future. All our
energies are being concentrated on the
building up of commerce, trade and
industry"

WASHINGTON, March 29.-The for
estry service is preparing to dis
tribute 100000 basket willow cuttings

SUBMITS EVIDENCE IN
ALLEGED FORGERY CASE
Prosecution Completes Testimony
Against Charles Smell at San
Francisco

SAN FRANCISCO, March 29.-Evi-
dence for the prosecution In the charges
of perjury against Charles p. Smell,
alleged to have been committed by him
in testifying during the trial of DR.. E.
B. Perrin for land frauds, had been
concluded today when court adjourned
and testimony in relation to the fourth
charge was being placed before the
court.
The chief witness today was G. c.
Hunt, a special agent of the federal
land office, who gave his testimony
under the ruling of Federal Judge De
Haven that Police Judge Shortall sat
as federal magistrate in hearing the
perjury cases, which made it possible
for the land office man to give evidence.
Hunts testimony relative TO various
maps and papers concerned in the Per
rim trial is viewed by the prosecution
as a fiat contradiction of statements
made by Smell on the stand.

bara with Miss Maria Lockhard of
Santa Barbara, the 1S-year-old daugh-

a long time a messenger boy in the in

Young Parker resigned his position
a week ago Monday and went to Santa

the Hotel Potter.
According to employees at the Alexan-
dria young Parker met Miss Lockhard
a few months ago while she was visit
ing relatives in Los Angeles, and it was
another case of love at first sight.
They saw and met each other many
times during the girls visit in Los An
geles, and it is thought that the plans
for marriage were laid them
Miss Lockhard's father, who is said
to be wealthy, frowned on the match.

in the history of our country we have

when it is not attacking us openly, is
doing so covertly, or else ignoring the

We do not know how the newspapers
of the United States played up the
scene in the convention hall when the
telegram was received that Gompers
Morrison and Mitchell had been denied
further delay. A local paper expressed
surprise that there was no fiery out

the convention received the news in a

indicate that the delegates scarcely rea-

Does Your Big Toe Ever
Wiggle.

Tuscaloosa. Ala, June 23.-Almet
Skeesics, Phi. D., professor OF psych-
ology at the University OF Alabama,
has made most important aud i'm
teresting discovery.
After years of observation and ex-
pertinent Professor Skesics affirms that
wherever man tells lie he wiggles
his great toe.
The learned professor declares It IL
impossible for any man by any exer-
else OF will, to prevent one or the
other OF bis big toes from wigglng
when he is telling a falsehood. This
reflex force is excited by the mans
subconscious radio mental activity.
But the explanation is somewhat ab.
struse and technical. To put it plainly,
the man who is falsifying thinks to
himself you know you're a liar" and
then his toe wiggles.
The witty Professor Skeesics says
shoes we're given to man to conceal his
thoughts He adds that II all men
went barefooted the race would soon
be regenerated. freed of guile and
falsehood for what's the use OF lying
II you know you're going to be caught?
