off all chance of further search. Captain
Johnson and his Bandon life saving
crew picked up the swamped and sink
ing sai1boat IN which Willie Winiger,

men were at the time almost insane for
lack of food and water and from ex-

Though rescued Thursday evening,
the news OF the mems safety did not
reach here until late this evening, be-
cause of the remoteness Of the rescue
and the fact, that Captain Johnson
spent the night in an isolated cove
rather than brave the high wind that
was blowing.
The two men had tried to reach
Rogue river. Three times their boat
capsized and twice they righted it, but
finally they We're carried out to sea.
They had brought no food, so had

Especial Cable to III. cam


TOKYO, May 2s-The condition of
Emperor Yoshihito is growing better.
The fever kept gaining until late to-
night. when physicians found an i'm
provement in their patient.
A pilgrimage of priests departed for
the mountain spring of JUL Yama (the
snow crowned) today. there to offer
their prayers for the speedy recovery
OF the emperor In shinto temples and
Christian churches crowds of Japa-
nese of all classes are praying con-
stantly that Yoshihito may be spared.
A ministerial order issued today au-
thorizes the reopening OF theaters and
other places of entertainment.
Count watanabe said that it was
first intended to remove the patient
from the Gayoma palace to the Chi
voda palace. the newest of the imperial
residences. but he became so weak
Wednesday that the doctors negatived
this plan.
WILSON SYMPATHY PLEASEs
His majesty is very weak" says the
count, but we do not think there is
any great danger His constitution
has greatly improved since his last ILL
ness few wears ago"
The coincidence of the American gov
ernment expressed by President Will
son by Charge Arthur Bailey Blanch-
ard has greatly pleased officials and
the people Of the capital The yer
nachlar newspapers print the message
with the statement that President Will
son was fhe first head of the foreign
powers to express his sympathy.
The sickness of the emperor seems
to have sobered political expressions
OF opinion on the California dispute.
There was a notable absence of acri-
mony in most of the editorials today.
While the recovery of the emperor
remains in doubt no action is likely
to be taken in forwarding Japan's
reply to the declaration of views sub
mitted to the Japanese government by
the state department. in Washington.
FORGET TAXES TO GRIEvE
It is admitted unofficially that if
anything should happen to Yoshihito
the consequences might be serious.
The people are chafng against load
OF taxation amounting in many cases
to from s5 TO 40 per cent of their own.
Many industries have been drained to
the last taxable yen. and the small
farmers of west Nippon and the lesser
isles are bitterly complaining of un-
fair competition from the Formosan
and Korean growers.
For the present. however. murmur-
ings have ceased. Grief and anxiety
have no room for domestic rancor.

Appointment of Successor to
Oroville Bench Threatens
to Involve Progressive
Movement
BOYNTON PROPOSED
TO PREVENT BREAK
Butte County Lawyers Ap-
proved by Bar .Out" With
Administration
BY GEORGE A. VAN SMITH


Carlton Gray in oroville Yesterday has
precipitated a political situation pro-
phetic of serious embarrassment for
Governor johnson. That. embarrass-
ment may involve the progressive
party movement in the upper Sacra-
mento valley.
The situation hinges upon the oppo-
sition Of the Butte county lawyers to
the candidacy of H. D. Gregory, pro-
gressive. OF Oroville. who is out for
the place.
The difficulty of the situation Is that
all the lawyers in Butte county con-
sidered eligible to the place by mem
bers of the bar association are out
side the governors political camp.
Before Judge Gray had been dead
a dozen hours the bar association OF
Butte county was preparing to head
off the appointment of Gregory by
asking the governor to pick demo-
crat for the place or go outside the
county for Judge.
BoYNTON PICKED FOR POST
The association held some sort of
session. There was an agreement.
tentative or actual. which resulted in
a move designed to throw the ap-
pointment to Senator Albert E. Boyn-
ton. of San Francisco.
Boynton as president pro tenn OF the
senate has been the governors right
hand man in the upper house OF the
Legislature. He lived fore many years
in Butte county and his family is
prominently identified with the de-
velopment of that county.
The Butte county lawyers seemingly
were of the opinion that Governor
Johnson could escape all personal en-
barrassment and save the precipita-
tion of a row in Butte county IL Sem
ator Boynton could be induced to ac-
cept the place.
Senator Bovnton is in Sacramento
That he will accept the place none is
prepared TO believe. He represents
Butte county. His appointment would
be satisfactory to the Butte county
public as well as to the legal pro-
fession.
SALARY PROBABLE FACTOR
His standing in the district was sug-
gested by the fact that he actually
lived in San Francisco when he was
reelected without opposition in the
district comprising Butte Yuba. Sutter
and Yolo counties. But his salary as
1egar adviser to corporate interests
with Offices in this city. is approxi-
mate1y three times the $4,000 which
goes with a superior judgeship in
Butte county.
With Senator Boynton out of 1t. the
governor is confronted by delicate
practical political situation. Seemingly
Gregory. who is politically eligible to
the place. is in wrong with the legal
profession of his county.
The lawyers who are right with their
professional colleagues are in wrong.
politically with the governor The
Butte county political wiseacres say
that If the governor appoints Gregory
he will offend his own following That
might be equally true IL he appointed
a democrat or regular republican
And failing. to get Senator Boynton to
take the place the governor would
probably give offense to the county as
whole by going outside for Judge.
