in Its Relation to the controversy
Aroused by the Alien Land Law Of
California" was the topic Of an adj
dress by Frank B. kellogg, president
Of the association.
Mr. Kellogg maintained that the
federal government had the right ID
define by treaty the status Of a for.
eign citizen within the states the
places where he may travel the bust
ness in which he may engage and the
property he may own. both real and
personal, and the disposition Of such
property after his death.

Japan have any right to own real cs-
tate in California, it is difficult to See
how this law takes away such right.
because it provides IN substance that
such aliens may acquire, possess, en-
Joy and transfer real estate in the
manner and to the extent and for the
prescribed by any treaty"
The California law, he explained.
discriminates between aliens eligible
and those not eligible to citizenship.

joy, transmit and inherit real prop
erty in the same manner as citizens.
and limiting those not eligible to citi-
zenship to the rights extended to

He said it was understood, however,
by the public generally that Cali

Light Winds SPOIL
THE ZOHDER RACES
GERMAN AND AMERICAN YACHTS
ARE UNABLE TO MAKE HEAD
WAY TODAY.

Marblehead, Mass, Sept Under
light weather conditions the six Ger
man and American zonder yachts
hoisted their diminutive main sails
today for the first Of the fifth inter-
national series between the two eoun-
tries.
The first part of the race was a
drifting match in which the American
boats had the advantage over the
Germans. The Gina was the first
around the first mark at 1890. having
taken one hour and twenty minutes 70
beat 21s miles. She was followed
two minutes later by the sprig, while
the Angelo Nv proved the best of the
foreign boats.
The Gina broke out her spinnaker
top port on the run to the second
mark, but the wind still proved very
light and it was 1:15-50 before she
jibbed around the flag with lead Of
one minute and fifty seconds over the
Sprig. 1t was a reacn to the starting
mark on the finish of the first round
and the Gina continued to show her
heels. She turned the home buoy
at 1853, and, flattening sheets, starred
on the last round Of the course, with
just a chance to finish the race inside
the time limit of 51a hours. The
race, except as a test in the lighter
weather conditions, was upsatisfac-
tory during the first round.

New York, Sept. Thousands OF
New Workers poured in from the
beach trains at Brooklyn bridge dur.

their pockets to buy newspaper

an even greater thrill for their money
when they read below the report that
Thaw was killed" and one or more
men with him in his dash for liberty
were also Killed or injured" quail

Amerlcan Treated Rrutaily

San Diego, Calf, Sept. 1.-still suf-
fering from the effects of a bayonet
wound received at the hands of an
intoxicated rebel while lying sick in
bed at his home in Durango, T. L.
FindIey Of Ell Paso, Tex, arrived yes
terday from northern Mexico on the
steamer Benito Juarez
Ffndley gave a graphic description
of the raid on the city of Durango by
a band Of 5000 rebels.
"There was colony of about $50
Americans in Durango at that time,
said Findley, "and they suffered like
the rest, all their money, watches and
iewelry being taken from them. The
rebels did not even respect the United
States consulate. They entered Con-
sul Hams residence and forcibly took
possession Of all his arms and ammu-
milton. although they did not molest
his personal belongings.
Immediately following these raids on
Durango a number of Americans left
for Mazatlan by way of mountain
train and never again were heard Of.
The supposition is that they fell into
the hands Of the bandits and were
murdered"
6. X. sigells, another American re-
fugee, corroborated the story told by
Findley.

URGE ACTION On
STATE FARM BILL
OKLAHOMA DEVELOPMENT COM
MISSION POINTS OUT IMPORT
ANCE OF MEASURE.
Creates COUNTY AGENTS
Gives County Commissioners Power
TO Render Aid in Farm Dem
onstratiOn Work.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Feb. 1G.-(Spe-
cial. Tho oklahoma Development
commission, of which Robert Gal
breath of Tulsa is president, is getting
behind the bill which has been intro
duced by Senator Austin and Repre-
sentative Woodward, providing that
the county commissioners may pre-
scribe and appropriate and use any
sum or sums of money not exceeding
1000 for farmers cooperative dem
onstration work. The commission Is
urging upon civic organizations all
over the state the necessity of having
this measure passed. The following
lahoma, fully states the arguments in
favor of the bill:
To All Commercial Clubs and Bust
ness Men:
your attention is called to the bill
that has been introduced by Senator
Austin and Representative Woodward.
please also note, this bill Is not a
request for an appropriation. The bill
simply asks that provision be made
whereby the county commissioners
may have authority. optional with
them, to render financial aid in a
work which, when presented for sup
port comes forth absolutely upon dem
onstrated results.
Assuming the exercise of good iudg-
ment by all counties in accordance
with time and fitness, this measure
embodies an opportunity to pave the
way for permanent agricultural ad-
vancement upon basis well calcu-
lated to meet the existing conditions
when money is none too plentiful even
for such an obviously good cause.
Both Arkansas and Texas have
law practically the same as the copy
submitted herewith, and those states
are enjoying the benefits Of this best
of all agricultural education. Such a
bill passed the legislature during its
last session without dissenting voice
Woodrow Wilson, in his last mes
sage to the legislature Of New Jersey,
mentioned this work specifically and
recommended that an appropriation
be made therefor. The work is in ac-
tive cooperation in twelve southern
states, and some states have appropri-
ated as much as $4,000 directly for
its support
THE Eastern Oklahoma Agricul-
tural conference just held at Musko-
gee-conceded to be the best event Of
its kind ever held in the state-en-
dorsed and adopted as the basis Qf its
Farm Improvement plan in the forty
counties represented. and will carry
out its entire work in cooperation
with the Farmers Cooperative Dem
onstration department.
Here is something TO get behind in
dead earnest. The most influential
men Of your community should per-
sonally address the members Of the
legislature. Your commercial club
should register their endorsement in
resolution TO both houses. This re-
quires action right now-this week.
