San Francisco, April 3.-Tsidor
Strauss, the millionaire and philan-
thropist, and a brother to former Sec
retary of Commerce and Labor
Strauss, believes that the Pacific
coast could solve the cheap labor
problem by encouraging the immigra-
ton Of European laborers to take the
places Of the undesirable coolies from
China and Japan: He said "One
Of TIE greatest reasons why the Pa
ciflc coast is menaced by the influx
of orientals is because you can ac-
commodate more people than any
other section Of the country. If your
people are opposed to incoming Jap
anese the best way to keep them out
is to destroy the opportunity for them
here. If they have nothing to gain
they will not come"

JUDGESHIP UP TO TAFT.
Heney and Becker Say They Will Re-
sign if Fulton Is Chosen.

Washington, D. c., April S--Attor-
ney General Wickersham filed with
the president today his report upon
the charges made against ex-senator
Fulton by F. J. Heney and Tracy
Becker.
Information concerning the purport
OF the attorney generals conclusion is
refused at the department of justice
and until the president acts it prob
ably win not be learned what decision
IS reached. President Taft is proceed
ing slowly in judicial appointments
and there is no certainty when the
Oregon case will be settled.
The fate Of Tracy Becker is also
undecided. Becker is now in Chica-
go awaiting instructions from the de-
partment of justice. He told the
president that If Fulton was appoint
ed he and Heney would resign from
the government service. The presi-
dent has since intimated that Beck
er's separation from the service would
probably be benefit to government
interests. but formal action has not
yet been taken.
President Taft made no announce
ment today regarding the Oregon
judgeship. and it was stated at the
white house that no information
would be given out until the appoint
ment is made. 1t is believed that the
pressure against Fulton. especially
that emanat!ng from the federal
Judges of Oregon, will eliminate him
from the contest.

Tree Grows Secdless Apples.

Husum, Wash.-One Of the scien-
tific wonders of this fruit district is a
seedless apple tree owned by Arthur
c. Chapman of Goldendale. This tree
in Chapman's yard, has borne seedless
apples every season for 10 years. A
striking popularity about the tree is
that no blossoms appear, as on other
trees.

two and half inches in clrcumfer-
ence, and at any time are not choice
eating, but are at their best during
the months Of February and March.
