OF a company of Austrian engineers
from Vienna to Triest, the engineer
Of the train by some mischance fell
from the engine on the track and was

Of his emotion, tainted away. The
soldiers at once took charge of the

contrary is believed to be the truth this

paness inhabitants Of the cities shall be
segregated. 1t is claimed by the promot-
ers Of this legislation that the japanese,
instead Of decreasing in.numbers, ere rap
idly increasing and threaten to supplant
the whites. 1t Is also said that Japan
herself has similar laws restricting the
rights of foreigners. On the other hand
Japan claims she is making a sincere and
earnest effort to carry out her promise to
restrict emigration to America, and that
the lapse of more time will show the de-
sired results. She says also and Il 10
unquestioned at Washington that her
people residing in America are guaran-
teed by government treaty all the rights
that other foreigners enjoy, and she will
not submit to the proposed discrimina-
tion against them. The situation is 50
tense that President Roosevelt appealed
TO Governor Gillett OF California to post
pone action, and at present it appears
likely that bis Efforts will succeed,
though popular voice in that state de-
mands the passage Of the bills. The rest
OF the union would be SLOW to support
California in her position, with the pros
pect that it might embroil us in war with
Japan. We might arrange with the Japs
to have it out with California alone, as
she is the offending party.

Plenty of Quail.

The state game warden has
made prophecy regarding the
coming hunting season that will
doubtless gladden. the hearts of
nimrods. The state official de-
clares that there will be more quail
in Ohio this year than there has
been in the last twenty years.
The weather has been such that
the mother quails were very sue
cessful IN Matching and brooding
their young, and it is claimed that
the young birds are exceedingly
numerous.
Unless some disease wipes out a
number of the birds, the state
game warden declares that by the
time the season opens in Novem-
Der, there will be abundance of
sport for the wing shooter.
1t is said the rabbits will not be
q" numerous this year. There is
no particular reason given for the
scarcity.
