MADERO MAKES
A PROTEST
Does Not Want Interference to
Come From Uncle
Sam.

Washington, Feb. lS.-President
Madero's message TO President Taft
Saturday asking the American govern
ment not TO intervene, was as follows:
81 have been informed that the gov
eminent over which your excellency
presides has ordered to set out for the
ports of Mexico war vessels with
troops to disembark and come to this
capital TO give guarantee of safety to
Americans.
"Undoubtedly the Information
which you have and which led you to
take this action is IneXact and eXag.
geraled, for the lives of Americans in
this capital are at present in no dan
ger if they will abandon the zone of
fire and concentrate i'm certain points
of the city or its suburbs where tran
guilty is absolute and where the gov
eminent can give all classes guaran-
tees of safety TO Americans.
"lf you order Americans residents
here to do that, following the prece-
dent established by your own orders,
previously issued, danger to the lives
OF Americans and other foreigners will
be obyiated. Regarding what mater
ial damages may be suffered by foreig-
ners, This government is ready to ac-
cept all responsibility according to the
obligations of international law.
consequently ask yourexcellency
to order yonr men-of-war not to dis
embark troops in Mexico, as this act
will cause a conflagration and terrible
consequences Of more extent than the
ones we have to contend with at pre-
sent.
81 assure your eXcellency that this
government is taking all measures
necessary in order that the rebels in
the arsenal will do the least harm pos
sible to lives and property in the capi-
tol and ! have hopes that everything
will be peacefully arranged in very
short time.
1T is true that my country at this
moment is passing through u terrible
crisis. The Decentralization of Ameri-
can troops would only increase the
dangers of the situation and very
lamentabie error. IL would do great
harm to nation which always has
been loyal friend to the United States
as well as contribute to the dangers
surrounding the establishing of the
democratic government here, similar
TO that of the great American nation.

ments that have been the criterion OF
your government; and that undoubt.

and patriotism,

WORLD PEACE SUBJECT
DISCUSSED AT PORTLAND,

Portland, July -Four sweeping
changes tending toward a change in
the attitude of humanity toward war
were made by the special commits
sion on world peace which was re-
ported today to a sectional meeting
of the Worlds Christian Citizenship
conferences in session here.
The recommendations are:
Inaugurate plan for the system
attic discussion of the true meaning
of Christ's doctrine of the Brother
hood of Man; inaugurate in the
schools course of instruction on in
ternational Cancellation; agitate leg
islation to forbid publication of mis-
leading facts in regard to the inter
national differences, holding news
papers liable under the libel laws;
regulate the requirements for Amer
lean naturalization along lines of in
tellect, physical condition and NOR
ais, rather than along lines of race,
color and nationality
The report was read by Professor
Edward Krehbiel of Leland Stanford
University, chairman of the commits
sion.
The report declared that the his
tory of the world has been little more
than a catalogue of wars, but that the
tendency of today is along broader
lines showing the development of
civilization in all branches.
That divorce is the one great evil
that threatens the dissolution of
American family life was declared at
a section meeting of the conference.
National legislation was decided to
be the only satisfactory check upon
this growing menace.
Coordinate with this, reforms in
divorce court procedure, more SOL
emnity in the marriage rites, re-
stricting the number of eligibles to
matrimony to those physically ft,
and educational efforts starting with
childhood, we're recommended. Those
who discussed the question were
Charles Merle D'Aubigne of Paris;
Prof. r. c. Wylie of Pittsburg; Rev.
Edwin n. Deil of Philadelphia; Rev.
j. M Wylie Of Kansas City and W. II.
Heidergraff of Pittsburg.
Prof. D'Aubigne said that in Paris
inhdelity is a greater evil than dl-
vorce He urged civil marriages in
America similar 10 those required in
France previous TO the ecclesiastical
ceremony.

ANTl-ALIEN LAW CON-
DEMNED AT CONFERENCE

Portland, July 3.-The anti-alien
law passed by the recent California
Legislature, depriving Japanese from
the ownership OF agricultural lands,
came in for condemnation today at
the hands of several speakers at the
immigration conference of the
Worlds Christian Citizenship confer
ence. Among the speakers was Dr.
S. Motoda of San Francisco and To-
kio, who prefaced his address with
the remark that he was glad that the
discussion on this subject was taxi
ing place in Portland and not in San
Francisco.
In discussing the California law
and the causes leading up to 1t DIR.
Motoda said In part:
THE law just passed concerning
alien land ownership in California
has created no small degree of an
xiety / do not expect any rupture
of the long and friendly relations
between the two countries, for this
association is too dear to be broken
by legal agitation.
California is a small part of the
United States and we appreciate the
kind efforts Of President Wilson and
Secretary Bryan, who have tried to
settle this matter peacefully.
Il have found the Japanese In
Seattle and Portland contented. Only
in California are they receiving un-
kind treatment. If 1t is race preiu-
dice we cannot make our legs longer
or our skin white. If It is race preiu-
dice, we have no help, but must only
wait.
Il believe the main cause of the
anti-Japanese feeling is because they
do not mix with the other peoples.
and therefore do not make the best
of citizens.
But the Japanese can be assim-
Hated and | think a Christian nation
can do it.
According to Rev Arthur l.. Wads-
worth of San Francisco, the news
papers, Governor Johnson and the
legislators, were all in favor of the
anti-Japanese laws, but that all the
people were not Wadsworth con-
demned what he termed the "yel-
low journals" Of California. which
he said had fostered the antl-Jap-
anese feeling. He also stated that
In many ways the Japanese were the
peers of the Americans in Califor-
mia and that the whites are afraid
Of an industrial invasion on the part
of the little yellow men

ORDER PLACED FOR DELIVERY
WITHIN THE WEEK.
CARE FOR LOGANBERRIES
County Growers Association Makes
Provision to Care For Surplus
of the Berry Crop.

The Grants Pass cannery will COM
mence operations this present week,
this course having been determined
upon at a meeting of the board of
directors of the Josephine County
Growers association held Friday
night.
The loganberry crop in the valley
is greater than had been anticipated.
and to care for this it was concluded
that the institution should begin
canning as soon as the cans could be
brought here, and the car ordered is
now expected to arrive by Wednes-
day. This car will include 12,OOO
gallon and 24,00O 2 1-2 pound
cans, $4,000 in all.
The cool and moist weather has
held the berries back somewhat in
ripening, but even at that the local
demand for the loganberry is about
met, and the price has fallen to fifty
cents per crate, no attempt having
been made to ship the green fruit.
A few hot days now will bring the
crop on very fast, and the growers
would undoubtedly have met with
loss if the Growers association had
not met the emergency. The berries
are not yet ripening in the north, and
to take care of the surplus crop that
we may have during the early part
of the week before the arrival of the
car of cans, ]. w. Lucas is looking
up trade to the north, and the as
sociation will probably make ship
ments into that territory, sending
them from here by express. Growers
should keep Mr.. White, in charge at
the cannery, in touch with the quaint
ity of berries that they will probably
have for the cannery.
The cannery is now in excellent
repair, new tables and other furni-
ture having been built, and the
premises have been completely rem
ovated and cleaned till they are
spick and span and resplendent in
paint and whitewash. Forty cords
of wood, recently purchased, are be-
ing delivered at the cannery, and the
boilers will be ready to steam up
with the first delivery of loganber-
ries this week.
A call for payments on the stock
will be made and stockholders are
requested to liquidate by the middle
of the week as the cash is required
in making the purchases Of cans and
necessary new machinery to get the
institution in operative condition.
The cannery is to be operated on
strictly cooperative basis.
