demand by his own countrymen,
and second, that only 1875 per
cent of the total number employ
ed by Japanese farmers were
working by contract or piece
work.
The records of the county as.
SCISSORS show 1879 farms, contain
ing 1921 acres, owned by jap
anese in the state of California.
These farms were assessed at
$3.50, 401 on land and $46, 927 on
Improvements, making a total of
1897, 298, and were mortgaged
to the extent of $173, 584. The
records show also 1876 holdings of
town property, assessed at $174,-
694, of which $4,000 was On
the land and $85, 1914, on i'm
provements. These holdings
were mortgaged to the extent of
500, 1896.
A very small percentage Of the
leases sre recorded, only 319
leases, covering 20,294 acres be-
ing found on the books of the
county recorders. The actual
lease holdings of the Japanese
in the state of California
amounted to 55, 900 acres on cash
leases and 60, 900 on share leases.
There were also recorded Ito
leases on town property. The
farms held under cash lease by
japanese average 40 acres, the
largest number being 5 to 20
acres.
That part of the investigation
relating to the japanese in bust
ness and activities other than
agriculture is practically COM
plete; 2,548 establishments were
visited throughout the state;
1, 934 were owned by individuals,
$50 by partnerships and Ga by
corporations; 1914 per cent have
been in these less than one year,
24.2 per cent for one year, 17.2
per cent for two years and 1919
per cent for three years, making
a total 75.5 per cent of the total
established since 1907. Only
50 establishments, or 2.3 per cent
of the total, have been in exist
ence for ten years or more.
The capital involved in most
instances was very small, 68.7
per cent of the total having
capital of less than 81, 900. The
total aggregate capital invested
amounted to more than 81, 000,-
900. The total annual transac-
tons of these Japanese establish
ments amounted to SIG, III, 407,
of which SIS, $780, or 1858 per
cent was with white people.
The ruling number of hours
worked per day was ten and over
and the prevailing wages paid
from $25 to $35 with board and
$40 to $50 per month without
board.
The Japanese population of the
state of California, based upon
the records of the United States
immigration bureau, the records
of the steamship companies en-
tering the port of San Francisco
and the records of this Office,
was estimated 1923 on Jan. 1,
1910. About 10 per cent of this
total were females. This inves-
tigation shows the distribution
Of the adult male Japanese pop
ulation to be as follows:
Sixty-five per cent were en-
gagged in agricultural pursuits;
Is per cent were employed chief 4,

 Whereas we knowing that trained off oers and men and not altogether highly efficient arms and equipments fight good

 Whereas, Believing that a higher stan1- ard of efficiency and a thorough state Of military preparedness cannot be at tained as long the national guards mans only reward is satisfaction of his love for military. or a feeling that

MOB ATTACKS JAIL
 AND MAN IS KILLED Irwin Kent Dead and Jailer
 Phelts Wounded
ATTEMPT TO GET NEGRO
Charged With Having Assaulted White GirI-NO More TrOu-
 blc Is Now Expected

Columbus, Ga, December 11.-(Spe- cial )--An Alaba milan, Irwin Kent. dead, and Jailer A. A. Phelts, dangerously wounded, but with good ehance for recovery, is the net result of the as sault made on the Muscogee county jail at 1 o'clock this morning when a mob tried to get Henry Taylor, a negro, ar rested two of three days ago on the charge of criminally assaulting a young girl. Kent, who resided in Phenix City, died at the city hospital at o'clock his morning of his wound. He was 22 years of age, a mill operative and un- married.
 In firing on the mob, Jailer Phelts used only 3S-calibre pistol. and 1t is a rather peculiar fact that the piece Of lead which p,owed through Irwin from hip to hip, causing his death. was ap- parently large bullet or rifle ball. The examining surgeon is unable to state the calibre of the ball. Ii is pos sible that the ballet was fired by some member of the mob.
 Jailef Phelts was just in the act of reaching for his ,riflp when struck by q bullet with such force that he was thrown down. The bullet entered his chest In the region of tho lung, but ap parently did not strike the lung. slr. Phelts is 53 years old and has been taller of Muscogee county for 15 yearN This is the second mob he has faced. although hitherto no resort to fire arms was made.
 Six or eight men were arrested, charged with being members of the mob, and five of them are still in jail. Tom Crews a man who was slightly wounded by a glancing bullet, was re- leased tonight on bond. "Buckshot' Blackman, another man arrested, Is re- | ported to have been grazed by bullet. Reports that an effort might be made
 tonight to rescue the men still impris | oned have caused the authorities to prepare for possible contingencies, but | it Is rather believed al this hour tn at 1 there will be no trouble.

MOSELEY GOES
 TO WASHINGTON
Is Looking After His Postmaster Posi- tiou--RObert Paffers serious'y
 Hurt in Hunting Accident

Decatur, December u.-(Special.) )-Wil- liam Moseley postmaster of Decatur is in Washington, D. C.. looking after his reappointment. Mir Moseley's term of four years as postmaster of Decatur ex- pired last February and up to this time no appointment for the Decatur office has been made. Postmaster Moseley is be- ing opposed for reappointment by w. B. Henderson. formerly assistant postmas- ter of Decatur, and Walter E. Cross, a well-known business man of Decatur.
 If is said that the Presidents referees Joseph O. Thompson of Birmingham, and Major Barker, postmaster of Mobile, have not indorsed anyone for the Decatur post office. and just why this Is local republi- cans are at a loss to know.
 The Western Union Telegraph office in New Decatur is now an all-night office with Tom Hodges. an old-timer and one of the best known operators in this sec ton of the country. as night man. The office is located at the Louisville and Nashville depot, and is in connection with the ticket office and general office of the railroad.
 Robert Patters of Pleasant Hill, this county met with a serious accident yes terdav near his home. While out hunting he became tired and laid his doub,e-bar- rel shotgun on a tree stump while he sat down to rest. Before he had taken his seat the gun from some cause fell off the stump and both barrels were discharged, the greater number of the shot entering his body and causing severe wound. His condition is said to tbe critical. and il is thought that his recovery is doubt full.
 William Ray, a young farmer living in the western part of the county, was kicked on the right arm bv young mule ycsterday and his arm broken just above the elbow. MT. Ray was leading the mule home from town. where he had just pur- chased 1t. when the mule became fright ened at something and commenced 10 kick.
 New Decatur camp woodmen of the world No 4S7, has Just elected officers as follows E. D. Whitman, past c. C.; Mel yin Hutson, C., C.: s. R. Garrison, V. It. :: w. c. Bulman, banker; J. H. Green, clerk. E. w. Isley, watchman; l.. D. Hollingworth, sentry: F. l.. Carswell and c. s. Chenault, physicians.
 These officers will be installed on the night of December 20, at which time a class of 50 or more will be taken into the camp. This is one of the most rapidly growing orders in the two Deeaturs.
 The Rev. Dr. w. T. Bartlett of New York. who was recently called as pastor of the Westminster Presbyterian church. New Decatur, has accepted the call and arrived here few days ago. He preached his first sermon here this morning at II ocock. He also preached another sermon tonight Both services were largely at tended and the members and the congre- gations were highly pleased.
