Toxic, April 21,-The chagrin, dis
appointment and wounded pride of
Japan, which last week were vented
in angry militant talk by irresponsi-
BILE people, have become somewhat
modified. The entire Japanese ma
ton now awaits with intense and
evident anxiety the outcome of the
deliberations in reference to the Cali
fornia alien land holding proceed
ing at Sacramento.
Governmental and commercial.
forces of Japan are using their ex-
ertions in endeavoring to restrain the
unthinking agitators here. They
point out that the real influences in
Japan rely confidently upon the high
est thought and the highest influ-
erces in the United States. At the
same time they assert that there il
not a single responsible person in
either country who even dreams q
war.
1t is becoming increasingly evil
dent that the agitation in Japan is
largely inspired by small political
group seeking to embarrass the jan
anese government and putting for
ward the American land question to
rouse national feeling and hide their
real purpose. Those newspapers which
caused the war talk among the "hot
heads" are now advocating a more dig
nified and conservative attitude and ex
pressing the hope that the citizens ~
California will spare Japan indignity
and the United States embarrassment.
Buei Nankana, chairman of the Toxic
chamber of commerce, has called a
meeting of the American-Japanes So
ciety tonight for the purpose of off
setting the extremists.

FIRE DESTROYED
BARN CONTENTS
And LIVESTOCK
SERIOUS BLAZE LAST SUNDAY
InCendiaFY Thought to Have
Been Responsible

AS the result of fire, believed very
generally to have been of incendiary
origin, Mr. Neil A. Ray lost a large
barn and contents, with twelve mules
and two horses, Sunday morning. The
fire was discovered by Mr. Ray about
4 o'clock Sunday morning. The prop
erty loss is approximately $1,000, with
insurance of $4,000.
The fire was discovered by Mr. Ray
at o'clock. At $3.50 o'clock he went
to the rear verandah of his home for
drink of water, and casually looked
over the premises, including the barn.
He had scarcely fallen asleep again
before being awakened by the blazing
structure, the fire having been started
at the front entrance
Mr. Ray rushed into the blazing
building in futile effort to drive Oh.
lis mules and horses, but the panic
stricken animals could not be rescued,
and he was soon driven by suffocating
smoke into the open. 1t is said tha
the screams of the tortured animals,
as they perished, was distressing. Nj
Ray valued his livestock at $4,000.
In a short while neighbors and
farm hands appeared upon the scene,
as did the auto truck of the city fire
department. The residence, recently
completed, was saved, as was the
smokehouse with it's supply of mea-,
and considerable portion of 1900
bushels corn stored in a corner of the
barn.
Many tons of hay and oats, with
about 200 bushels cottonseed, were
burned The barn cost 81, 900 to build,
and was one of the best arranged
structures in the county, having been
completed about two years ago. Hun
dreds of people visited the scene Sun
day, and expressed sympathy for Mr.
Ray
Mr.. Ray cannot imagine what en-
emy, if one he has, thus pursues him,
unless it be former convict, at whose
trial he appeared as a states witness.
This one is the fifth barn he has had
burned in the same mysterious man
Ger, and there is no assurance that
the crime may not be repeated when
his barn is replaced.
Sheriff Fuller and Deputy Harvey
went to work at once upon the case in
an effort to trace an incendiary. In
portance was, for time, attached to
a mule and buggy found in the woods
a half mile from the scene, but it de-
veloped later that the team had been
stolen Saturday night from an inno-
cent party living in a different local.
ity.
Governor Brown has already been
requested to offer a substantial re-,
ward for the apprehension of an in
cendiary and he may yet be locatel,
as every effort to that end will lie
made
The action upon the part of several
friends of Mr.. n A. Ray, spontaneous
and voluntary as it was, in rendering
him yesterday the use of number cfI
mules to replace those destroyed Sun
day by fire, was duly appreciated. IT
will take time in which to select and
purchase a dozen mules at this season,
when the livestock market is rather
depleted, while the cultivation of the
crops must be pushed under all cir
umstances. Mr.. Ray has many friends
who deeply sympathize with him in the
