PRESIDENT WILSON PLEADS
FOR A BROADER LAND BILL
WAYNE COUNTY MAN
LEADING IN FIGHT
AGAINST JAPANESE

One of the leaders of the fight
being conducted in the California
legislature TO pass drastic bill
prohibiting aliens from owning
land in that state, which legisla-
tion might involve the United
States in a war with Japan, is a
former Wayne county man, Sena-
tor Lee c. Gates of Los Angeles.
Gates is Progressive floor leader
in the senate and has made a
great reputation as tighter.
Gates also represents the John
son administration in the senate.
Senator Gates moved to Califor-
mia about twenty years ago, but
for years lived on farm near
Centerville and at one time taught
school near Milton. Last fall dur
ing the presidential campaign he
visited Richmond and addressed a
Progressive rally at the Gennett
theater. His address was one of
the best delivered in the city dur
ing that campaign. He has made
brilliant political success in Cali
fornia and is being talked of as
the next Progressive candidate
for governor.
The bill Gates supports and
which is advocated by the ad-
ministration forces would contain
these provisions:
Il. No alien, who is ineligible to
citizenship, shall be permitted to
acquire and hold land in Califor-
mia for a period of more than one
year after date Of such acquisi-
tion.
"2. No corporation. the majori-
ty of stock of which is held by
aliens who are ineligible to citi-
zenship, shall be permitted to &C
quire and hold land except for one
year."
A press dispatch today says:
Senator Gates expressed the
views OF a number of the Admins
tration leaders when he said that
no bill seriously affecting Euro
pean capital should be passed.
"The Japanese are the cause of
the whole controversy" said
Gates, land the relief sought is
from the Japanese alone. To
pass a law against Europeans In
order that We might restrict the
japanese would be unwise and
useless-worse than useless.
we cannot afford to drive out
the millions of foreign capital that
are needed for the development of
our state. The only alternative is
bill that strikes directly at the
Japanese. If it is not passed then
no bill will be passed"

WILL TAKE Up FIVE
LIGHT PLANT BONDS
City Has Opportunity to Sc
cure $4,000 Worth of
Bonds.

BY arrangements made with a local
bank, $4,000 worth of city light plant
bonds will be taken up by the city on
July l, and efforts will be made to take
up $4,000 more. The money will be
taken from the light plant sinking fund
which by that time will total more
than $4,000.
City Controller McMahan was noti-
fed by one of the banks that $4,000
worth of light plant bonds were in
it's possession and would be held until
July 1, if the city desired to take them
up then. July l is the end of the fis-
cal year for sinking funds, according
to the Indiana state laws. The bonds
pay per cent. interest and the sink
ing fund draws 3 per cent. interest
with small premium.
The bonds were issued in March
1902, and are for $1,000 each. They are
in the hauds of a few persons and
make a safe investment: None of the
bonds have been taken up by the city,
as yet, the $4,000 worth being the first
which the city has had opportunity to
purchase. The entire bond issue OF
S144 900 is due in 1927, by which time
the sinking fund will total that
amount.

WASHINGTON. April 22-Presi-
dent Wilson today appealed to Gov
ernor Johnson of California and
through him to the people of that
state not to pass any alien land laws
which might antagonize Japan and en-
broil the entire United States In a
conflict with the Japanese. The presi-
dents message to Johnson in part fol-
lows:
II appeal with the utmost confidence
to the people, the governor and the
legislature of California to act on the
matter now under consideration in a
manner that cannot from any point of
view be fairly challenged or called in
question. II they deem IL necessary
to exclude all the aliens who have not
declared their intentions to become
citizens upon the privilege OF land
ownership they can do so along lines
already followed in the laws OF many
of the other states and as many for
eign countries, including Japan her
self.
"Invidious discrimination will newt
ably bring In question the treaty obli-
CATION of the government of the
United States. / register my very
earnest and respectful protest against
discrimination in this case, not only
because feel II my duty as the chief
executive OF the nation. but also and
the more readily because believe that
the people and legislative authorities
of California will generously respond
the moment the matter is frankly pre-
sented to them as a question of nat
ional policy and OF national honor. II
they have ignored this point OF view.
| fl is, am sure. because they did not
realize what and how much was In
volved." ...-

ALL ICE SHOULD Be
WASHEO--vO PE|N
Council Passes Resolution
Ordering lcemen to Do
This.

Cleaner Ice for Richmond Con-
sumers" is now the by-word of
council. At the meeting last night
Councilman VonPein introduced a
motion instructing City Attorney
Bond to request the head of the
ice company to have all ice men
wash the ice before delivering it.
The motion passed unanimously
Councilmen believe the ice
should be placed on the scales
which are on every ice wagon.
While the ice is being weighed a
bucket of water should be thrown
on it, washing off every particle
of dirt.
A close record should be kept of
the weight of the ice and the ice
man should charge exactly to the
pound for the amount of ice they
deliver, the councilmen assert.
whats the matter, Matt?"
asked Councilman Williams of
Councilman VonPein. Are you
afraid some dirt will get in your
beer?" The city father from South
Richmond ignored the question.
The matter of cleaning and
weighing ice was referred to the
health department.

THEATER MEN MAY
ASSIST CHARITIES
Three Moving Picture Hous-
es Were Opened Last
Sunday.

That the local motion picture show
owners of this city will make an en-.
deavor to arrange with charities for
giving a per cent of their Sunday re-.
ceipts, is probable. Three of the pic
ture shows in the city were open last
Sunday. Another, it is said, will fol.
low the lead of the others next Sun.
day.
The local men cite Indianapolis as
an example of where the plan of divid
ing Sunday receipts from motion pic
ture shows with the charities, is used
They believe that this plan could be
very satisfactorily worked here and
through 1t the local charitable organi
cations could be assisted. AS yet none
of the picture show owners have an
nounced how the receipts OF last Sun
day were used.

A recommendation adopted by coun-
plant to the public utilities commits
sion is believed by City Attorney Bond
to solve the problem of securing an
immediate hearing by the commission
on the rates of the Richmond City
Water Works company. According to
the plan, ten persons using water
through meter and ten persons using
water by fiat rates will be asked to
complain with the city against their
rates for water
City Attorney Bond believes that by
using this method of complaint, an
adjustment for all the rates can be
secured at one hearing. He question
ed the right of the city to complain
in the name of the citizens, but be-
1ieves that the plan adopted will cover
every phase as complaints by private
citizens would attract the attention of
the commission. He stated that there
Is no liability for any costs in making
complaint and he believes that there
are twenty citizens who would be will
ing to do this in order to assist the
city in securing lower rates for con-
sumers.
In some states, Mr.. Bond said, the
commissions place consumers into
three classes: domestic, intermediate
and manufacturing. In doing this, the
rates of any of these classes may be
lowered or raised. These classes may
also be sub-divided and the rates
raised or lowered. In this way, the
earnings of the utility are not affected
but the rates are put on a more equal
basis.
May Not Get Free Water.
1t is not known that the city will
receive free water after the commits
sion makes the adjustments of the
rates. This could not be determined
until after the work of the commission
was completed.
Councilman VonPein, who submitted
the report on the plan. stated that the
committee believe that council should
prepare to submit the city's reasons
for wanting a change in water rates.
''It will be up to u.s." he said, de
Tending the citizens, to see that a
square deal is given both sides. The
water works company will be well rep
resented at the hearing and We should
be ready to present our side"

Notice Filed With Secretary
of State Yesterday by Lo-
cal Men.
is 10TH CORPORATION
To Increase Stock Since Pas
sage of New Public
Utility Act.
IS 10TH CORPORATION
palladium Specially


INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. April a.
The Richmond City Water Works,
which yesterday gave notice to the
secretary of state of it's issuance of
100000 in preferred stock, is the six
teenth public service corporation to
increase it's capital stock since the pas
sage of the public utilities act, which
becomes effective May 1. Four new
public service companies have filed ar
ticles of Incorporation in the last nine
weeks.
After the new public utilities COM
mission begins upon it's duties no cor
poration will be permitted to increase
it's capital stock unless the commits
sion gives it's approval. The compa-
MES will be compelled to show cause
for such increases and to explain just
how the money raised by the floating
of additional stock is to be spent. The
articles of new companies must also
be passed on by the commission. The
fact that the new utility act goes into
effect in about ten days is suggested
as a possible cause for the unprece-
dented number of public service COM
panies boosting their capital stock.
The Richmond Commercial Club has
asked that the new Public Service
Commission, as one of its first acts,
give assistance to the city of Rich
mond in negotiating new contract
with the water works corporation. In
giving notice that it has increased its
capital stock by the issuance of $400,-
900 in preferred stock, the Richmond
City Water Works states that the
money raised from the sale of the
bonds is to be used in paying all ex-
listing Indebtedness and to make ex-
tensions of it's mains and other need
ed improvements.
Increase in the capital of public SER
vice corporations made since early in

HE WANTED To DUEL
Banker Glover Was Willing
to Fight Rep. Sims.
CNationaI News Association,


WASHINGTON, April 22.-The
select committee appointed by the
house today began its investigation to
determine whether Charles G.. Glover
the Washington banker shall be
punished for contempt for his attack
upon Rep. Sims of Tennessee. The
most interesting testimony was given
by Rep. Johnson of Kentucky, who
said Glover told him that he regretted
that the laws did not permit dueling
in this county.
Johnson said that Glover told him
if il were not for the law he would
challenge Sims to duel on account
of things Sims had said on the floor
of the house. This conversation took
place in February, johnson said
Rep. Sims testified that when he
was accosted by Glover last Friday
Glover had an insane expression in
his eyes with a blush color on his
face. Glover was not present today.

Democratic leaders after a conference
today decided to support an alien land
law framed to accord with the views
OF President Wilson This bill would
apply in broad general terms to all
aliens who had not expressed deter
mination to become citizens. The ad-
ministration forces behind Governor
Johnson as the day advanced became
more determined in their support OF
the bill which applies frankly to the
Japanese by saying that aliens not
eligible to citizenship should be ex-
cluded from the ownership OF land.
