CHINESE NOW COMPLAIN
THAT JAPS ARE FAVORED

SAN FRANCISCO. February S.-Thc
reopening of the fight over the passage
of the anti-Ja panese bills in the lower
house of the California legislature began
today and it is expected that the strus-
sle will be even more intense than it was
last week when the struggle was termi-
mated by the dramatic appeal of Speaker
Walter Stanton for delay.
The latest complication in the contr0-
versy is the preparation by the local

Wireless on Ocean Vessels.

Representative Burke OF PttsburS. au-
thor of the bill pending in the House to
require all seagoinS vessels carrying as
many as fifty passengers to equip them
selves with wireless telegraph instruments
and operators, called on President Roose-
Welt today to discuss the subject with
him. Mr. Burke said that the Pres dent
favored the general principles of the bill
as introduced by him. and believed that
the safety of humanity at sea demanded
that something be done.
"Other nations are giving grave con-
s;deration 10 such legislation. said Mr..
Burke. There is now before the French

ton is whether we shall lead in this leg

Talk With War Secretaries.


The conference was followed by another
conference of the President with Secre-
taries Newberry of the Navy Department
and Wright of the War Department, once
more bringing about crop of rumors.
These were all dissipated by the direct.
unequir ocal statement of both Secretaries
that the name of Japan or California had
not been referred to in their talk with
the President; that the subject discussed
umimportant one. relating to a bill
in Congress dealing with deserters from
the army and navy.
The positive statement was made by a
member of the party that not one word
wcs mentioned as to an intimation from
Japan as to how she might treat certain
legislation in California. The President
did not utter a word that would clear up
ambiguous remarks made by the speaker
of the California lower house that he was
in possession of information showing that
the situation would be critical II the leg
iSlature persisted in its course. Whatever
information the President has salonG

Japan May Have Spoken.
The fact that the State Department was
more specula ton than any other feature
represented in the conference has excited
and causes the belief that certain repre-
sentations have been made by Japan

California.

DRILL HAS STARTED.
Oil Well Machinery Set in
 Motion Tuesday.

The chug of the Coil drill" can now be heard at all hours The machinery was set in motion Tuesday and if all goes we'll the work will proceed both by day and by night.
 The water problem has not yet been solved and if the present supply in the reservoir is ex- hausted before it rains it looks that the work will have to be de- layed.
 Under ordinary conditions there would be enough water availab ble at the present location of the drill to run a dozen engines, but the rain fall has not been sufficient since the drought to maintain streams that usually run the year round.
 The next well will be located more advantageonslv from 8 water standpoint. 1t will likely be in the vicinity of the old saw mill site on the land which L, D, Eisentr ager bought from W A and Jobn Russell. This is con- sidered one of the most apt To- cations in the field," and sever al knowing ones believe that a rich coal discovery will be made at this place, as the mountain side in this vicinity is black with shale.
 One thing seems to be certain to come of the present prospect ing scheme here, and that the job is z ing to thoroughly finish ed and the promoters will have the satisfacti of knowing that there is nothing here when they have decided to abandon the scheme.
 In the mean time there is noth- ing else for those who looking on to do except to screw up their patience and wait.

 The entertainment and bazaar the at M. E. South church Tles- day night was a great success. The ladies of the Home Mission Society wish tp thank the people for the liberal patronage. Every article was sold readily bringing enough extra money to cancel the indebtness for the late re- pairs made on the church house The entertainment was short but was one of the very best ever given in our town. The singing would reflect credit on any com munity. Little Fred Ramsey with her beautiful solos and Alice Colvin with her sweet voice fairly held the audience spell bound. The quartet singing with Mrs. Lottie Cox at the organ was another highly appreciated feature of the program.
 It is rather unusual procead- ing for a Presbyterian to be chosen superintendent of a Bap- tist Sunday school, but that is what the Baptist Sunday school of Green Forest did last Sunday when Prof H.

There be- ing no Sunday school Of his de nomination here, Prof. Burney had cast his lot with the Baptist congregation, and his extraordi- parv ability to fill such position 80 impressed itself upon his CO., workers that his selection was made by practically, unamnious vote. Other officers chosen were J. L. Russell, assistant superintendent; J. w. Bair, secretary and librarian; Lee Parker, treasurer; and Mrs. ] L. Russell, organist. There ia good reasons to expect gooi years Sunday School work at the Baptist church during 1910.

Dooling was employed as driver for a rig which had been hired to take a couple of men to Osage.
