AUTHOR Of JAPAN
EST: LEGISLATION
LITTLE, OLD, WRINkLED GROVE
L. JOHNSON is THE MAN WHO
is WORRYING PRESIDENT.
(ASSociated Press. J

Sacramento, Cal, Feb. at the
bottom of all the new worries of the
diplomats at Washington, from the
president down, who have labored so
long and so energetically to put and
keep Japan in a good humor, at the
bottom of all the latest war talk
that is being heard from the Pacific
border to the national capital, is a
little, white haired, wrinkled old
man.
He is Grove L. Johnson, member
from this district in the assembly of
the California legislature, now in
session.
Johnson for thirty-two years has
been unique figure in California
politics. Since he first made his ap-
pearance among CALIFORNIA; lawmak
ers back in 1877, his career has been
punctuated with bitter attacks based
on charges embodying nearly every
variety of political villainy on the
calendar. He has been commonly re-
ferred to as a tool of William F.
Herrin's Southern Pacific machine,
the same one that has had California
by the throat for years through its
control of the republican party, the
same one that is now fighting desper-
ately to keep race track gambling
alive in the state.
That his reputation as a politician
is none too savOry does not worry
this little old man, now past his sew
entieth year. He is a politician of
the simon pure variety and does not
deny it. Whether or not he is all
that his enemies say he is, there is
not the shadow of doubt that in one
thing, at least, he is thoroughly, Bit
terly sincere.
He makes no secret of the fact and
is relentless in his efforts to make
his hatred bear fruit through the
only instrument at his command, the
California legislature.
Johnson has something closely akin
to a mania for initiating legislation.
During his political career he has
fed something over 500 bills into the
California legislative hopper. In re-

cent years many of these have been
directed against his pet antipathy,
the japanese.
When the present session opened
the veteran assemblyman was on
hand with his usual bundle The
wheels of the legislature had hardly
been set in motion before Johnson
had directed these attacks against
the Nipponese. One was designed to
tear open the old sore of segrega-
tion of Japanese and white children
in public schools. The second would
give municipalities the right to Sc
gregate the Japanese portions of their
population and force the Japs to re-
side in a specified and restricted quar-
ter. The third would take from the
Japanese the right to serve as d.
rector of corporation.
That was all. But the bare fact
of the introducing of these bills into
the California legislature has quick
ened the heart of the nation.

The whole matter is to be frankly
put before the army, and individuals
are to be invited to volunteer for vac

compelled to submit to anti-typhoid
vaccination against his will, but an
effort will be made by lectures and

An Attractive Display Window.

One of the most attractive displays
for a grocery store is in evidence at
the Buckeye. A row of fresh lettuce
is placed in the front and another
row in the back, making a fine frame
for the balance of the picture. In
the center is the piece de resistance,
several rows of oranges, each row
being marked at a specially low price
for today only. The idea of special
sale of oranges at this season of the
year is appreciated by the public.
And the advertising of it in the

window display is yielding good re-

for the worse.
1t has long been recognized, says
the report, that a person who has
once had the typhoid is practically in
sured against a second attack, and
the medical profession has now found
in anti-typhoid vaccination a simple
and harmless way of artificially in
ducing almost this same amount of
protection. In the last few years
$4,000 men have been treated in this
way with excellent effect and without
a single untoward result.

NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-Mr. and Mrs.
H. A. Hover of Spokane, Wash, who
recently completed the first lap Of their
trip around the world in a Maxwell
touring car by arriving at New York,
set sail for Algiers January % on the
ill-fated steamship Republic. AS is
we'll known, the steamer was run down
in fog off Nantucket by the steamer
Florida Of the italian line and all pas
sengers were transferred to the other
boat. The Florida having suffered from
the collision also, however, the pas
sengers OF the Republic, together with
those of the Florida, were put on
board the steamship Baltic, which car
rled them back to New York two days
after they had set sail. The expert
ence was narrowing and Mr.. and Mrs.
hover lost everything they had on
board with them. They arrived at their
MOTEL in New York absolutely exhausted
and with only the clothes on their
backs. Their car fortunately was sent
to Algiers on another vessel and is
now well on its way across the At
lantic. The plans of the round the
world" tourists were naturally unset
tied by the accident, but after they
have equipped themselves again for
the journey, will again cross the ocean
later in the winter and continue their
trip around the world.
Their journey of 100000 miles will be
the most comprehensive ever undertake
en- by motorists. They will journey
through every country Of Northern AT

return home in the spring of 1914. They

ing outfit for this purpose with a fun

business is another eXemplification of
the fact that personality goes a long
way in these days of business, it being
a fact to which any dealer in Los An

personality.
Three years ago the business Of the
concern had outgrown it's first loca-
tfon, and removal followed to the hand
some building at the corner Of Sixth

known as Jerry" by his close friends,
came into the firm, as did also the
brother Al, who spends the greater por-
tion of his time at Pomona.
The company has enjoyed a steadily
growing business, handling the Haynes

ture tells best how rapidly and how Sc
curely foundation of splendid busi-
ness and future bright outlook has
been built. About two weeks ago the

KNABENSHUE TO TRY
FOR WORLDS RECORD
WILL ENDEAVOR TO ADD TO
FORMER LAURELS
ARRANGES FOR FLIGHT FROM
LOS ANGELES TO PASADENA
Airships Will Be CHARTERED at Tourna-
ment of Roses Park During Car.
niVaI Week for Special
Trials

Roy Knabenshue will endeavor to
break additional world records with
his airship at Pasadena March Is to q.
The airship will be flown from Los
Angeles to Pasadena, making a land
ing at Tournament park, where it will
be quartered during the week.
A carnival Of sports will be conduct
ed at the park through the week, with
the airship as the star attraction, for
the purpose of raising a fund for the
Pasadena board of trade to use in
properly entertaining the veterans at
the state G. A r. encamument in
April, Mr.. Knabenshue has offered tc
make the airship demonstration for i
nominal sum compared with the
amounts he receives for eastern exhib1-
tions. He is desirous of establishing
records which will be recognized
throughout the world, and Secretary
Bertonneau of the Pasadena board OF
trade was quick to see the advertising
value of this to Pasadena.
The flight from Los Angeles to Pasa-
dena will be the second flight from one
city TO another made by an airShip in
this country. The first was made over
the same course by KnabenShue with
the California Arrow several years ago
and has stood alone since. Another
record which Knabenshue expects to
that it will stand for some time in the
future for dirigibles, is that of achiev-
ing the longest period of time in the
air without landing. The best that has
been done so far was by Knabenshue
at Toledo, o., when he remained UP
3 hours and 40 minutes without de-
scending. He can easily surpass this
and will try for a record of five or six
hours.
The committee in charge will supple
ment the KnabenShue demonstrat ton
with a special program Of events for
each of the six days of the carnival.
College athletics will have a place, and
baseball and pushball will be added.
while the Out West club has been
asked to participate on a day set aside
for them.
If the gas arrangements can be made
the matter of a balloon ascension will
be taken up with Dick Ferris, owner of
the United States and America. Los
Angeles aeronautS are firmly convinced
that next winter will see a number of
eastern balloonists in Southern Cali
fornia to enjoy during the winter aerial
and automobiling trips which are i'm
possible in other sections of the coun-
try. 1t is believed that a demonstra-
tion from Pasadena will aid in at
tracing attention on this line.

Many Other Good Points

Despite the rigidity OF lines noted there are
many other features which also look to the
history making. The claim is made, and with
good justification, apparently, that the new
model is vibrationless-a feature which will
go long way in attracting new enthusiasts
to motorcycling if events shall prove the
correctness of this claim. This absence Of
vibration is secured through a four-cyI nder
motor that is almost noiseless in it's operation
and entirely free from that continuous rasp-
ing explosion that undoubtedly has serYed to
turn many persons away from motorcyclins
in the past. This motor is capable, it is
claimed OF driving the machine at a speed
anywhere from six to sixty miles an hour
and permits it to climb any hill.
The machine is shaft and gear driven in
stead of by chain, while a compensating
clutch eQualizes the difference between the
power of the motor and the resistance of the
rear wheel, transmitting to the gears practic-
ally the full volume of the motors power.
This clutch can be disengaged at any time
if necessary. The frame is entirely of tubing,
differing in size, but whatever the size it is
claimed that it cannot buckle. The tubing is
made large purposely in order TO serve as
tanks for both. gasoline and lubricating Oil,
that no unsightly tanks are to be seen any
where on the new machine. The top and
upright tubes contain gasoline, having ca
pacity of seven quarts, while the lower, or
front, tube contains the motor oil, with a
capacity of five pints, which, with the oil in
the base of the motor is sufficient for from
1900 to 1900 miles The gasoline tubes are
copper plated on the inside.
The front forks also striking feature
of the new machine, being a double set of
finely tempered forks one working with the
other in such a manner as to take out the
bumps of the rough places by cushion ar
rsngement.
Other and numerous features more or less
distinctive have been included IN the general
construction of the machine and the Pierce
concern is to be heartily congratulated in hav-
ing studied out machine which will mark
new era in motorcycle construction.
