Presidents Relations With Senate

posed his policies and went to political
disgrace in trying to destroy senators

president Wilson is attempting to
inaugurate the system that James
Monroe put into effect with success in
the era of good feeling in 1923 and
seeks to emulate the course of George
Washington in recognizing no party
organiza ton as having any right TO
urge its existence as a mere agency

Number of Alien Fruit
Pickers Were Forcib1y
Expelled From California
Town, But 1t Requires
Much Explanation.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, June 27-Just a small
incident in itself, but very disturbing.
nevertheless, is the preliminary Of
fetal estimate of the affair at Hemet.
Cal, yesterday, involving the forcible
expulsion from the community of a
band of Korean fruit pickers.
1t is expected that the incident will
be the subject of future representa-
tions by the Japanese ambassador as
soon as he has been advised by the
acting Japanese consul general at San
Francisco of all the facts. Then it
will be incumbent upon Secretary
Gov. Johnson with an intimation that
the president relies upon him to see
that justice is done to aliens within
the United States under terms of ex-
isting treaties.
Beyond that, it is scarcely possible
for the national government to go at
this stage at least, though later on it
may become necessary 10 ask congress
to indemnify the Koreans who have
suffered any financial loss by the hos
tile actions of the community at He
met.
Secretary Bryan said today that the
state department would make an i'm
mediate investigation for itself of the
irci lent. The only information thus
far received was in the press dis
patches.

ALASKA AND ITS
 BOTTLED COAL MINES

When the tourists of the Se- attle Chamber of Commerce vis- ited Sitka, Alaska, they saw the naval coaling station construct ed some years ago by Uncle Sam to which coal, is transported across the continent from POca- hontas and other eastern fields, at heavy cost, for use by Amer ican ships in Alaska waters. And coal of equal quality in inex- haustible quantity, if geological reports be true, bottled up in the mountains of Alaska, only two or three hundred miles away.
 Think of that!
 At Unalaska, where the tour ists, returning on the Victoria, stoppe don Sunday, July 22;; an- other impressive object lesson was presented. At thIs naval sta ton, in one of the most beauti- full harbors visited, was anchored "a Norwegian ship unloading. Aus tralian coal for use by ships of the American navy. And the Mat anuska and Boring coal fields of Alaska only few hundred miles away.
 Think of that!
 The coal thus transported costs Si5 or more per ton, quite apart from the expense to the govern ment of maintaining these cOal- ing stations.
