LEAVES FOR RICHMOND.
Judge {. n. Woods Called to Take His
Seat at Once As Much Important
Work l. to BE Done.

Columbia, June &C. A. Woods,
whose nomination by President Will
son to be United States judge for the
Fourth judicial circuit was confirmed
by the senate Thursday, left yesterday
afternoon for Richmond, much soon
er than was expected.
Judge Woods was urged by Judge
j. G. Pritchard of Asheville, presiding
over the circuit court of appeals, now
sitting at Richmond, to come at once
to Richmond. as much work OF i'm
portance had accumulated while the
vacancy created by the election of
Judge Nathan Goff to the senate re-
manned untitled. Senator Smith has
arranged to have Judge Woods COM
mission forwarded to him immc-
diatcly at Richmond, 50 that he may
at once take his seat.
The members of the Columbia bar
were very much disappointed that
Judge Woods should have had to leave
the State SO shortly after his appoint
mcnt. They had planned a banquet
i'm his honor.

JAPAN'S LATEST NOTE.
COMMUNICATION FURNISHES
PROBLEMS WHICH NEGO-
TIATORS FIND HARD
TO SLOVE.
Japan Still Regards California Land
Law Is Violation of The Treaty
With United States-COnSiderati ion

Washington, June 6.-Japan's
latest note in regard to the California
land legislation, admittedly furnishing
problems calculated to tax the talents
of the American negotiators, was read
at the cabinet meeting today and later
was the subject Of conference be-
tween President Wilson and John
Bassett Moore, counsellor Of the state
department.
Consideration of the note by the
cabinet was deferred until the return
of Secretary Bryan from the farewell
dinner in honor Of the new ambassa-
dor at Pittsburgh. There was some
discussion, however, after the lons
document had been read, and Presi-
dent Wilson, as a result of his talk
with Ambassador Chinda yesterday,
was able to illuminate the formal ar
guments presented with sidelights dis
closing international political condi-
tions in Japan which are powerfully
flee in the conduct of the negotia-
tiOns.
Officials who have examined into
the subject have reached the conclu-
sion that the Japanese foreign office
has shown a remarkable knowledge
of American constitutional law, and
that the legal lights of the state de-
partment will be taxed to the utmost
to rebut the arguments presented.
The assertion that the California
law violates the spirit of the existing
treaty by discriminating against the
Japanese, however, is looked upon as
broad statement that the treaty had
been directly violated.
The principle that the right of
Japanese to own or lease houses car
ries with it the right of ownership of
the lands it is contended here, holds
good only as to- houses occupied as
residences or for commercial purposes
and that such a claim scarcely could
oe eAteHueu I'd larm lanuS, WhlCn
alone are covered by the California
law.
Officials say the suggestion that the
alien land legislation is in violation
of the 14th amendment to the consti-
tuition may furnish a new line of at
tack upon that much discussed amend
ment, although it hardly will be Sc
riously entertained by any court.
They pointed out that the California
act provided due process Of law" for
depriving aliens of property and sug-
gested that the words equal protec-
ton of the laws" used in the amend
ment referred to persons and not to
property.

COL. PASCUAL OROZCO is PUT TO
DEATH BY ZAPATA.
Ransom of 100000 Refused by IN
surgent Leader, who Declared That
Justice Would not BE SOld-ShOt

Mexico City, June G.-Disdaning a
ransom of $4,000. offered by the
friends OF Col. Pascual Orozco, Sr,
father of the former rebel chief,
Emiliano Zapata, caused the old man
to be put to death, according, to- a
special dispatch from Cucrnavacai to
Ell impartial.
The dispatch says Orozcos body
was found by the federal soldiers near
Jojutla, in central MOrelos, hanging
from a tree and riddled with bullets.
A commission of Orozco's friends
recently went to Zapata and sought
the freedom of OroZco. To these men
Zapata said he would not sell justice
that if Orozco was found by q coun-
Gil of war to be innocent Of spying, he
would be freed, but that otherwise he
would be condemned.

slight recession in wholesale bust
rcSs is apparent in some sections OF
the West, reports from several centres
show trade to be more active than

weakness was mainly due to the un-

New business in iron and steel still
falls short of production, but the mills
have plenty of orders on hand, and
it is expected that active buying will
be resumed before these become ex-

operating conservatively. Woolen
mills have reduced actively, owing to
tariff uncertainty and silk mills on
account of strikes, but stocks in all
branches Of the textile trade are alb
normally low, which will favor a

of others promised for the next two months, the Arizona Motor company feels it time to announce casually that there will actually be a Stude- baker sociability run to the Grand Canyon this spring It will start the first Monday in June, ten days after the pioneering pathfinder has made it's logging voyage. At least hun dred cars will be in the run, many of the occupants coming from Califor- nia and other points to take part in the best mountain and plain auto mobile tour in the whole of America.
 Wayland Wood, the main gazabo in the Studebaker's affairs in this coun- try announced yesterday the Canyon Touring club would begin to make plans on the q. {. commencing right smart soon It is plenty early to start work on the tour, but Wood feels the sooner things begin to be worked up, the better the tour will be In the time that will elapse before the run starts, there will be an immense lot of things to do, and it is well to have plenty of time to do them in. Mean time the motor company will be sell ing 1913 cars, which will arrive from time to time if not oftener Oftener would suit better. There will be lots of additions to the Studebaker family in the next three months, most of whom will venture on the tuor.

As to the tour itself there has been some change from last years plan. It will take ten days to pull it off next June, for Wood is planning to let the tourists go from the canyon over to the Petrified Forests as a little side trip. Then beside this in- novation, there will be various smaller changes. Aside from that the tour will be the same round of day driving and night merrymaking at the ban quets and receptions that will be ten- dered all along the route
