RAILWAY WRECK


Last Monday evening an east
bound freight train met with an
accident Just as it was switching
on to the main track from the
south side track, the wheels Of a
new car failed to make the switch
and three cars We're ditched, one
loaded with grain. one with lum-
Der. and one with plates OF cop
per from the smeltcrs in Mont
ana. -AI traffic was tied up un-
til about noon next day. three
east bound trains lying here and
the west bound trains at Nubia
and Big Stone. Ed. Phelan had
his brigade of Sel vian, Bulgarian
and Italian heroes in the breach
at All early hour Tuesday morn
ing, and while the wrecking train
was sent for little Italy had the
track cleared before It arrived
That even railroad men have
troubles sometimes is evidenced
by the fact that while the debris
was being cleared away from the
above accident, one OF the big
locomotives while going on the
side track jumped from the rails
at the street crossing on the
west part of town, and it took
some time to get it back to it's
place again.

SENATE RESUMES
PROBE OF DISORDER
IN SUFFRAGE PARADE
Washington Police Captains
Rally to Defense of De-
partment-FOrce In
efficient

Washington, April 16--Poliee captains
who commanded detachments on Penn
sylvania avenue March during the suf-
fragette parade rallied to the defense of
their department today when the Senate
subcommittee resumed hearing of the
charges of police neglect and inefficiency
made by the women marchers.
Six captains, a lieutenant and two SER
geants told practically the same story.
In their opinion, Mai. Richard Sylvester,
their chief, did everything possible to pre-
serve order and protect the marchers,
and the officers and men under him did
their best to carry out his Instructions.
The captains declared that if they had
been permitted to stop street car traffic
two hours sooner than they did they would
have had little trouble controlling the
crowds and protecting the parade.
Specials" Were Useless
Several officers said that there were not
enough regular policemen to handle the
crowds and added that the hundreds of
specials" sworn in for duty that day
were practically useless because of lack of
training and discipline and owing to the
fact that they were not in uniform.
Captain Daily who commanded a section
of the avenue between Four and a Half
street and Seventh, where the first
trouble started, suggested that he might
have handled things better if some of the
mounted police detailed to escort Presi-
dent-elect Wilson from the Union station
to his hotel had been detailed instead
| along Pennsylvania avenue.
| Dr. Arthur NJ Zinkhan. an inferno from
the Emergency hospital, told about be-
! ing stopped on the avenue while making
run back to that institution by man
who stepped out<ef the line of march and
waved cane in his drivers face.
| He said that he learned the next day
that it was Senator Poindexter.
The committee expects to hear several
officers tomorrow, and probably will end
the hearing Friday.

Urge Extreme Attitude

Toxic, April 16.-The most promi-
nent officials, commercial men and
others are urging that no extreme at
titude be adopted in the agitation
against the California alien land bill,
but popular feeling is deepening with
the announcement of the passage of the
bill in the lower house of the Cali
fornia Legislature.
The American Japanese association,
of which Baron Shibusawa is president
and b. Nakano is vice president, com
posed of representatives of all political
parties, leading tradesmen and profess
sors, is actively endeavoring to defeat
the bill but carefully avoiding stirring.
up anti American feeling.
Special speakers, in explaining the
American system of states rights, say
that the United States as a whole is
friendly. but California is prejudiced.
yukio Osaki, ex-mayor' of Toxic, ad-
vocates the withdrawal of Japanese
participation in the Panama Pacific ex-
position and refusal to buy or sell
through California ports. But this has
been strongly opposed by other speak
ers.
Newspaper men have formed an or
ganization and adopted resolution de-
claring that the land bill is not only
unjust and unfair to the Japanese but
is calculated to impair good WILL The
american press Is requested to join in
opposing it.

Sacramento, April 16.-Not the ex-
elusion of the Japanese farmer, but
the probable effect of the proposed
alien land law on European capital
invested in the state is now the prin-
cipal issue involved in discussion of
the bills proposing TO restrict the
rights of foreigners in California, one
of which was passed yesterday by the
assembly.
Protest has arisen from representa-
tives of English and continental syndi-
Gates and a stronger influence than
that represented by the formal COM
plants of the Japanese government is
being brought to bear in an effort TO
kill the measure altogether or to amend
them in such way as to affect only
the Japanese.

permits corporations controlled by per-
sons eligible to citizenship to own
property but the senate bill now await

letters and kilograms have been re-

several large corporations of California
are dealt in on the exchanges. of Eu-
ropean capitals. Under the senate bill
the property owned by such corporation
would be subject to escheat to the state
after one year
Senator Thompson, author of the
senate bill, is convinced that interna-
tional complications can be prevented
only by enacting an impartial law, re-
stricting all aliens alike, and for this
reason he is opposed to the assembly
hill. That bill, he said, differed from
the senate measure prepared by his
committee only in the clause relating
to corporations and he believed the
senate measure the more restrictive on
Japanese since it provided that a ma :
Jority of the stock of any corporation
owning California land must be held
by American citizens or those who have
declared their intention of becoming
