TO INTEREST THE LAITY

The object in pointing out the ravages
of this disease is TO awaken more pro-
found interest on the part of the laity as
well as the profession in cancer problems.
Physicians can help toward the solution OF
this problem by making careful study
OF every case of cancer that comes under
their observation and recording every fact.
When collected in sufficient numbers such
facts may throw some light upon The
etiology OF the disease and help To settle
the vexed questions Of herediry and con-
tagion.
The pathologists are already deeply in
terested in the study OF cancer. but the
IL boratory studies alone of cancerous
tuHlors can never solve this great problem
of the cause of cancer.

Police Believe Missing Janitor of Church
to Have Committed the Deed.

Both are prOstrated. The discov-
cry of the body was a mere acci
dent. On Saturday the janitor of
st. Johns church told Father Schu-
mann that water was collecting un-
der one of the parish buildings.
Plumbers began to pump out the
water. Their work was resumed
this morning. After pumping =
short time the water began to
smell badly and few minutes later
a slime covered object was discov-
cred. A childs foot with a shoe
and stocking on appeared. The po-
lice and coroner were immediately
notified. After working for five
hours over the fragments of the
body, Coroner Ellis Duncan said the
top and left side of the skull and
part of the right leg were missing.
All the ribs on the left side were
broken. The coroner said he believ-
ed quick lime was used in de-
stroying the body.
Vending is described as being
native of France, aged 81 years.
According to his wife Vending is
a deserter from the French army.
When confronted with gold
ring and pin, found in her trunk
m
after the pin had been positively
identified by the mother of the
missing child, as the one Alma
wore the day she disappeared, Mrs.
Vending maintained a stolid de-
meanor. She casually vouchsafed
the information that the pin and
ring were given to her by a boy
who found them on the street Mrs.
Vending admitted the stains on
some of the clothing which she
washed for her husband a short
time after the child disappeared,
were bloodstains. She declared the
bloodstains came from an accidental
wound on her husbands arm.

MAKE PROTEST

RAISING RATES

WASHINGTON, May 3O.-Vigor-

to Attorney General Wickersham,
by interests representing the terri
tory of the Western Traffic lines,
asking that the government enjoin
the railroads from putting into ef-
feet the general increase in freight

that the proposed increases are
unwarranted and unjust and the
opinion was expressed today that
they were the results OF combi-
nation or agreement among the

SACRAMENTO, Cal, May 3d.
Some form of unskilled labor, such
as is now represented by the Japan
ese, is essential for the continuance
and development of the specialized
agricultural industries of Califor-
MIA.
This is the broad conclusion of
the report of the state labor COM
missioner just submitted to the
governor on the Japanese in Cali
fornia and which was prepared aft
er over year of careful field work
by corps of special agents among
the farms employing Japanese. The
investigation was authorized by an
act of the legislature just after the
anti-Japanese agitation in California
in 1908-1909, and the report con-
sists of over 100000 words exclu-
sive of mass of tabulated statis-
tics.
The so-called oriental problem in
this state is thoroughly discussed in
the report and after searching in
quiry into all economic and social
conditions finds that some form OF
unskilled labor, capable of inde-
pendent subsistence, quick mobili-
zation and entailing no responsible
ity upon the employer for continued
employment, is absolutely necessary
to CALIFORNIA; field, orchard and
vineyard industries If these vast en-
terprises are to be perpetuated and
developed. The report is of the
opinion that the Japanese are sec
ond only to the Chinese in meeting
these requirements.
AS to the complaints heard
against the Japanese in the dis
tricts in which they are employed
in great numbers, the report states
that they arise largely from the
attempts of laborers to secure high
er wages. 1t is pointed out, how
ever, that there are few complaints
of this character except in such
districts as are dominated by the
japanese laborers by virtue of their
numbers and the almost absolute
dependence of the growers upon
them for the harvesting of the
crops in the short time the seasons
allow for the work.
The average duration of employ
ment on farms is less than two
months In the year. In this con-
nection the report points out that
the Japanese have learned that they
can make much more money out
of contract laboring than working
for daily wages. The rough aver
age wage In the fields. orchards

and vineyards is given at approx
imately $3.50 per day. Under the
contract system the laborers are
able to make from 81 to 81 per
day. From this they have passed
to more liberal form of contract,
working together on shares, u
growing crops on ground held by
them under cash rental and in
comparatively isolated instances, to
actual ownership of the land.
Japanese ambition, says the re-
port, ito progress beyond mere SER
Witty to the plane of the better
class of American workmen, to own
a home, to operate industries, to
be master and not slave, is of the
same quality as that of the Italian,
the Swiss, the Portuguese, the Rus
sian, with whom he competes, and
is in line with the ambition of that
type of American who will not
compete with him. The moment
that this ambition is exercised, that
moment the japanese ceases to be
an ideal laborer."
OF the character of the Japan
ese laborer and his desire for an
American education, the report
speaks in high terms. OF the re-
sponsibility and reliability of the
Japanese, contractors, small coz
tractors, sub-bosses or laborers, the
report states that they do not COM
pare favorably with white men in
the same stations. AS to the in
dividual Japanese laborer as COM
pared to the typical class of white
laborers now in the field and avail
able for the work, the report dis
closes that the higher standard is
that of the Japanese.
OF the Japanese grower, whether
land owner, or leaser, it is stated
that he is found to be of very
high type. The investigators
found that the land-owning Japan
ese desired to make his home IN
this country; that he at once adopt
ed American customs and habits of
life and closely followed his Ameri-
can neighbors in many ways. The
agents invariably reported courte-
Gus treatment and hospitality when
visiting these men.
The report states that it is not
within its provinces to offer sug-
gestons as to the solution of the
labor problem presented, but mere
ly to present the facts as they
have been found after a rigid
scrutiny of everything bearing upon
Japanese life In California. Great
