BAN ONDRINKING CUPS

Washington, Oct. 3O.-Public drink
ing cups on interstate trains will
soon be athing of the past if the rec
ommendation of Surgeon General
Blue, of the Public Health Service, is
adopted. The surgeon general de-
clares that public drinking cups are
germ laden, and that in the interest
OF the public health their use should
be prohibited. Under a law passed
at the last session of Congress the
surgeon has authority to compel rail.
roads to abandon these utensils. In
many states laws have been passed
prohibiting the use Of drinking cups
on railroad trains, but these laws, OF
course, operate only within State
lines. In all probability the recon-
mendation will be concurred in by
the Secretary of the Treasury and an
order issued putting ban on public
drinking cups or glasses on railway
trains.

California japanese

San Francisco, Oct. 30.-An ever
increasing army of Japanese is invad-
ing the state of California. Informa-
ton gathered by the Japanese Them
selves shows that the subjects of the
Mikado are cultivating 100000 acres
of alnd in this state and conducting
mercantile institutions representing
$4,000,000 investment. By referring
to the reports of the United States
Bureau of immigration it is found
that since 1903 10000 Japanese have
been admitted to the United States,
Of whom over one4ha1f are farmers
and farm laborers. The pay of farm
laborers averages 16 cents per day,
and immigration of this character is
promoted by the so-called immigra-
tion companies. Those acquainted
with the. real situation in California
state that the Japanese are gaining
such ali lod in California that unless
q drastic exclusion law be soon en-
enacted by congress, the day is not
far distant when this State, like the
Territory of Hawaii, will be little less
than japanese colony. The Asiatic
Exclusion League is redoubling its eff
forts to arouse sufficient sentiment
to. secure the enactment by Congress
Of what is known as the Raker exe1us-
ion bill.
