SHOOTING FRIEND

In General Sessions Court today
the trial of Wladyslaw Brukowsd,
indicted on a charge Of assault with
intent to commit murder was resum-
ed. Czaslaw zalenzki, the prosecut-

When he laid it on a table in the mo-
rocco plant Czeslaw picked It up and
commenced swapping il. The men
tussled to get the revolver and in
the scuffie it was discharged and the
bullet struck the man in the thigh.
They have been good friends and are
good friends still. The revolver was
in Czeslaw's hand when the shot
was fired.
Witness said he did not know there
we're any cartridges in the revolver
when he took it from his valise. The
prisoner was cross-examined at
length by Deputy Attcrney-Gene
Chaytor who failed to shake the tes-
timony regarding the shooting or the
handling of the revolver.
The defence rested.
The jury returned a verdict Of
guilty and the court sentenced the
prisonsr to be imprisoned for eigh.
teen months.
Charles Dolbow, a middle-agec
white man, pleaded guilty to the lar
ceny of a pocketbook and was sen.
fenced to be imprisoned for term Of

the stamp window to remain open
as we'll as the general delivery win
dow, and the order also permits
stamps to be purchased at both win
dows.

not only to the geographical position and its
vertical climatic zones which give it range from
tropical to arctic types, but also to its peculiar
combination of humid and arid conditions in
which we find are extensive barren table land
inerposed between two tropical forested coastal
zones. These widely>divergent conditions give
to Mexico flora that includes the general and
special characteristic OF nearly all the zones OF
plant life on the western continent-thc tropical
jungle OF the humid coastal plains with its rare

there are the mangrove-irnged coasts and the

and above these on the inland side OF the sierra
a treeess, sun-scorched tableland where only the
cactus, yucca and other coarse vegetation OF the
desert can thrive without irrigation.

WASHINGTON. June 1.-THE Cal

up at the cabinet meeting today and
the general tenor of the response to
Japan's rejoinder. prepared by John
Bassett Moore, counselor for the de-
partment of state, was approved, but
there will be some revision of the text
Of the note.
The note is virtually declaration of
the doctrine of states rights" .ampli-
fed with citations Of judicial decisions
and other authorities bearing on the
technicaIities raised by Japan's re-
joinder in the contention that the COM
mercial treaty of 1911 has been violat
ed. 1T was with regard to several legal
arguments In support of the states
deemed advisable.
Not much consideration is given to
the claim of Japan that the Webb bill
violates the fourteenth amendment of
the constitution, as 1t has virtually been
admitted by the foreign office in Tokyo
that such contention is matter for
the courts and hardly susceptible to
diplomatic action.
The best informed believe that the
attitude of Japan indicates that hope
Of a settlement through ordinary diplo-
matte efforts are remote, in view OF the
clearly defined difference OF opinion over
the Interpretation of the commercial
treaty.
This governments arguments are
based on a suggestion that the treaty
has not been violated. while Japan
urges that the treaty has been contra
vensd by the California legislation not
only in spirit and because OF its dis
crtminatory nature, but also with re-
snect TO specific stipulations giving
Jananese certain rights in regard to
holding and acquiring property even
though It is asserted that the rights
are more implied than expressed In
some Instances
