Sacramento Further action ON the

relstion to the protest OF the Japanese
government against possible infringe
ment of the treaty rights OF Japanese
citizens in this state.
Reports OF the popular agitation III
Japan provoked considerable comment
about the legislative chambers. The
violence of these protests, as well as
the inquiries as to the effect of the
proposed bills upon other alien inter
ests in California, led to the belief here
that President Wilson might find it ex-
pedient to indicate his views or sug-
gest course of action tending to re-
ieve the situation.
IF the position taken by Japan is
what cable dispatches contain" said
one of the senate leaders, 1T seems in1
evitable that some word must come
from Washington soon without waiting
for the passage of a particular bill by
the legislature.
"For that reason, ard in view of the
widespread interest that has sprung up
in California, it was thought better to
postpone any further consideration OF
the matter until next week"
The postponement applies also to the
yario,1s amendments to the bills that
have been offered.
A poll of the senate disclosed an
overwhelming majority in favor of an
aAtialien bill, but scarcely handful
of senators indicate wish to include
in its provisions foreigners or foreign
corporations controlled by persons ELI
gible to citizenship. The campaign in
behalf of European investments in the
state, it was stated, had begun to be
reflected in the change of opinion
among members in this regard.

AN ARKANSAS LEvEE BREAKS
Territory Partially Inundated by La

Gunnison state levee, commonly
known as the White river front, broke
about noon Sunday at Adams, Ark, five
miles above the recent break at Laeo-

over the top of the levee, broke through
with roar and spread rapidly through
the lowlands, which already were
flooded partially from the breaks at La
coma and from the White river. De-
spite the fact that an enormous amount
of water went through the rapidly
widening crevasse in sthe course of few
hours, the damage which will result will
not be serious. No live stock was in

WEATHER BUREAU
HEAD IS OUSTED
WILLIS MOORE TOO ACTIVE FOR
SECRETARYSHIP.
C. T. BURNS is SUSPENDED
Says "Third Degree" Methods We're
Used Upon His Friends-Denies
That He Forced Employees
to Support Him.

Washington.-Prof. Willis L. Moores
chief of the weather bureau since 1895,
and an appointee of the Cleveland adj
ministration, was summarily removed
from office by President Wilson. His
res 2afier 2feses ws Sea ao-
cepted, to take effect july 3 4, but after
an investigation of his alleged efforts
to become secretary of agriculture in
the present cabinet, grave charges OF
irregularity were preferred, and the
president withdrew his acceptance of
the resignation, dismissing Prof Moore.
Later he referred the subject to the de-
partment of Justice for inquiry.
Secretary Houston of the agricultural
department conferred with the presi-
dent before the removal of Mr.. Moore
was announced. The secretary then
issued the following statement:
Immediately after the resignation
of Prof. Moore of the weather bureau
was submitted to the president and ac-
cepted by him, charges were filed with
the secretary of agriculture by respon-
sible men within the service. These
charges were of such a grave nature
that the secretary of agriculture called
upon the department of justice for an
investigation.
The investigation is still under way,
but the facts so far secured and laid
before the president yesterday were
sufficient to warrant him in deciding
to withdraw his acceptance of Prof.
Moore's resignation and remove him
summarily, which has been done.
"The president has also directed the
secretary of agriculture to suspend
Charles t. Burns, an employe of the
weather bureau, pending further in
vestigation of his case, and take such
disciplinary measures as he may deem
necessary with such other employees of
the weather bureau as may be found to
have been unduly active in using the
public service for private and personal
ends -

OF all our domestic animals, the
sheep is the most delicate and dainty

that is true, no animal is less under

with sheep depends largely upon a
knowledge of their habits and famil-

Very few men succeed in the sheep
business who are not fond of sheep
and deeply in love with the animals
and the business. :
They are timid and highly excitable
creatures, and every effort should be
made to keep them quietly contented
and comfortable. Unnecessary noise
should be avoided, and dogs should be
kept away from them at all times, un,-
less they are trained shepherds or
other dogs with which the sheep are
very familiar. The more completely
the dog is eliminated the better. The
two most discouraging obstacles to the
sheep business are dogs and parasites,
and much as we deprecate the ravages
of dogs, the parasites are much THE
most to be dreaded and guarded
against. Usually little attention is

the sheep become ill or die; the others

right. 1t does not pay to keep sheep
