JAPAN AND MAGDALENEA BAY
Mikado Said. To. Obtain Concession!
From Mexico

rum NleSiCo
New York, March 30.--A special
cable from Toxic to the Evening Tele-
gram says that Japan has succeeded
in securing the long coveted conccSs-
ion in Magdalena Bay for Mexico. The
cable says:
at is reported here Gin Tokio) that
negotiations between Mexico and ia
pan were concluded few days age
for the establishment Of large Jap
anese settlement at Magdaena Bay
but an American protest based on the
Monroe doctrine is expected"
Washington, March 30.--Despite
the State Departments declaration
this afternoon that it. had "absolute-
" no information on the report that
Japan had secured her-long coveted
naval base at Magdalcna bay, Mex
leo, it was believed here this after
noon that news of the move, reach
ing here several days ago, has been
the most fruitful source OF the anXl-
ETY. plainly admitted by State De-
partment officials. as to the Mexican
situation.
One year ago the American consul
at Manzanilo reported to the Depart
ment that Japan was endeavOring to
obtain naval base ostcnsibly for her
merchant vessels Publication through
United Press dispatches, and prompt
hints from the administration that
such Il move would be- regarded rs :.
violation of the Monroe doctrine, led
to official denialS from the japanese
Ambassador here. Ever since that
date, the United States has kept close
granting of such base to Japan.
While the administration has here
tofore denied that Japan's negotiation
was successful, it was considered sig
nificant this afternoon that the. lat
est report was merely met with the
statement that there was no nforma-
ton on the subject.

1t has been proven beyond all posi-

the education they have received on
the streets at night. The school Of
the streets Is bad one in which to
receive an education. 1t is one Of the
factors that must be carefully guard
ed. The remedy must be keeping the
children of the streets at night or to
make the streets 1T places for chill.

the latter. 1t is possible to do the
former. The city streets are public

Show at Twelfth And Market Is Vast Aggrega-

A crowd that filled the circus
grounds at Market and Twelfth
streets yesterday afternoon saw the
opening of the big 101 Ranch Wild
West show. The show, which Is to
be here for five days. drew an even
bigger gathering last night, the af
ternoon performance evidently having
made the spectators voluntary pun
LEFTY agents of the attraction.
San Francisco has seen many villa
west shows, but the 101 ranch outfi,
is considerably different from all the
rest. The l01 ranch, as most devotes
OF the moving picture houses know,
is a tract of one hundred and one
thousand acres in Oklahoma, where
the Miller Brothers, its chief owners,
raise cattle by the hundred thousands
OF heads.
The ranch has been favorlte
stalking ground for the moving pic
ture people, and so many films lie
ecording its varied activities have been
shown that by this time the employees
OF the Millers are accomplished show
people.
All Know Ranch Life.
The 10l Ranch Wild West show is
made up of the pick of the performer
employees of the ranch. One thing
can be said about all the American
performers in the show, and that is
that they know actual ranch life and
all there is to know about the di'
verse business OF cattle punching.
