ASSOCIATED PRESS D1sPATcHl


 GLOBE, April 22.-Nick Mitigovich turned states evidence today on the witness stand at the trial at which he and Martin Despot and Sam Wucich were charged with burning a saloon they conducted at Miami. Mitigoyich surprised a courtroom full of interested spectators when he told the details of an alleged plot to collect three thous- and seven hundred dollars fire insur- ance
 Before Mitigovich told his story, Prosecutor Johnson moved that the charge against him be dismissed so that his own evidence could not be used against him, but Judge Shute de- nied the motion and declared positive ly that no immunity would be granted
 According to Mitigovich, Despot first proposed that Mitigovich burn the sa- loon. Mitigovich refused, he testified and then Wuicich told him, he declared that anything Despot arranged kould ''be all right"
 T saw Despot bore holes in the wall testified Mitigovich. Next morning when l went to open the restaurant iT the rear of the saloon, l found cans o1 gasoline had been attached by fuses tC lighted when the fire started. I started the fire and ran across the street into another saloon"
 The case may go to the jury tomor' row night.

ASSOCIATED PRESS p1spArcn]

SAN DIEGO, April 22.-Target prac- tice between the armored cruisers Colorado and Maryland, which was in progress this week, has not thus far been very satisfactory With S-inch guns firing at moving target at 1000 yards distant, the Colorado made only two hits out of thirty shots. The Maryland using guns of the same cali Der and a 7000-yard range, did rather better, making eight hits out of thirty one tries. The sea was rough during practice, and this fact in q large meas ure explains the poor showing. To- morrow will be practice with 6-inch Pintsch guns.

ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

WASHINGTON, April 22.-Col)nel Goethals, chief engineer of the Pan anna canal, in a report to the war department today reiterated the hope expressed some time ago that he would pass a ship through the canal before the close of the present year. The statement came in response to an inquiry from Secretary Garrison as to whether 1t would be possible to grant the request of Roald Amundsen, the explorer that he be allowed to take his ship, the Tram, through the canal when he starts for the Antarctic re- gions next winter.
 Tt is hoped we will be able to pass a ship before the close of the year, said Colonel Goethals, and if this be accomplished the Tram will have no difficulty in making the transit of the canal, and every facility will be of fered for it's doing SO. No assurance, however, can be given on the matter at this time"

Thiyty-Fouy States NohV Of Action
 Or Amendment
ASSOCIATED PRESS pIspArcHl

WASHINGTON, D. c, April 22.- which have ratified the constitutional for the direct election of United States senators had given formal notice of their action when the state department closed today. When Secretary of State William J. Bryan receives similar official mo- tices from Nebraska and Oklahoma he will be ready to proclaim the sev- enteenth amendment to the consti- tuition operative.
 Arizona was the first state to ratify the seventeenth amendment to the constitution of the United States providing for the direct vote for United States senators and from the present outlook on affairs at the state house it seems as if Arizona will be the first state to make the necessary enactments in the election laws of the state to put into opera ton the amendment to the constitu- tion
 This state has all along taken ar advanced stand upon this and Simi- lar progressive questions. Early il
 the first session of the first state leg
 islature Senator Hughes introduced
 senate joint resolution calling upor the congress of the United States tt submit such an amendment to tht constitution of the United States t the people of the several states fo an expression of their opinion on it. In the first special session of tn state legislature before the session was hardly two days old, the join resolution of the legislature ratifyinl l the seventeenth amendment was in | troduced and passed the house ol May 31, and the senate on June 1 1912. Copies of this were transmit ] ted to the proper authorities.
 ] Now that the amendment is abou l to become fact there is pending i 1 the enrolling and expressing commit | tee of the senate the very provisio 1 of the election law that will make tn amendment operative in Arizona. l will be passed probably before of ficial notice is received by the stat department that the required numbe of states have. ratified the provision of the amendment for the direct cleo ton of United States senators.

Creates Air of Uncertainty

WASHINGTON, April 22-An ex- change of telegrams between the president and Governor Hiram John son of California expressing on the one hand an appeal that no anti alien legislation discriminatory against Japan be passed and on the other as- surance from California that no vio- lation of treaty obligations are con- templated. left the White House and official circles tonight uncertain as to future developments.
 Governor Johnson's response to Wilson's telegram of appeal was taken at the White House to be of a friendly and re-assuring nature. When it was pointed out to officials that notwithstanding the assurances that no treaty obligations would be vio- lated and that Governor Johnson had used in his telegram language relat- ing to aliens ineligible citizenship in fOrecasting the kind of a bill that would be passed there was no dspo- sition to regard the utterance as forecasting the passage of the as- sembly bill containing that phraseol- ogy against which Secretary Bryan ir his first telegram to Johnson had registered a strong protest.
 Later, however, the news from Sac ramento indicating that the Califor- mia governor and legislators were bent on passing bill specifically excluding from ownership of land al aliens ineligible to citizenship resulted in general air Of uncertainty witf respect to developments at Sacra- mentO

Governor of California AS sures President That the Measure Will Not Be Contrary to the Treaty Obligations
CHARGES STATE
 HAS AUTHORITY
Opposition to Administra- tion Program Will Come from Democrats Aided by a Few Republicans ill the Legislature
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPArcHl


 SACRAMENTO, April 22-Through the exchange of telegrams today be- tween President Wilson and Govern or Johnson, the settled policy of the question of alien land ownership as agreed upon last Sunday, was of ficially made known.
 Governor Johnson and his party leaders in the senate favor the land bill excluding from ownership all aliens who are ineligible for the citizens laws of the United States such a law will probably pe passed in spote of objections from Wash ington.
 An assertion was made by the gov ernor that the state has full author ity to enact such a law as will not be contravention of any existing treaty. He was upheld in this view by the majority of the leaders of the senate. who met with him today and agreed on a form of telegraphic re- ply to be sent late today to Presi- dent Wilson's message.
 The opposition to the administra- tion program will come from the democrats, aided by a few republi- cans who are opposed to anti alien legislation of any kind. Senator A. Caminetti, the democratic leader, will seek to avoid using the words in eligible citnship'' in his bill as being offensive to the Japanese. This is the point against which the real fight of the measure will be made.

HARD ON MlKADo's DOCTORS
Not Permitted to Gain Experience by
Practice, They Are Blamed for
incompetence.

The lot Of the japanese physi-
clans who attended the late emperor
during his fatal illness is certainly
a hard enc. They are likely to be
punished for incompetence and
while no one seems to deny the in
competence, the plea is raised that it
is not their fault. 1t is a japanese
tradition that the physician who pre-
scribes for the sacred person of the
emperor must prescribe for no one
else, and so the court doctors must
remain in state of suspended ami
nation, professionally speaking, ex-
cept at such times as it pleases their
only patient to be unwell. Natural
ly they acquire no experience and
therefore are in the position of tyros
when they approach the imperial
bed. Such rigorous etiquette seems
hard upon the emperor himself, who
is thus compelled by his own dignity
to submit himself to sort of hal
lowed ineficiency. By the way, some
of the Chinese newspapers have ac-
quired the reputation of prophets by
announcing the death of the emper-
OF before it occurred. Thus the Cen
trail China Post remarks casually on
July ~ that ''the japanese emperor
has died so Manchuria is
safe at present" Now, the emperor
is not supposed to have died until
some days after this, but the far
east explains the mystery by quoting
a japanese official to the effect that
the mikado actually died on July 10,
but that the fact was suppressed for
diplomatic reasons.

In the short time ahead of it

matters and cut out local legis-
lation in order to get through.

This is the kind of weather for
the road working machine to be
in use; the plans thai should have
been laid during the bad weather,
can be worked out now. Road
working should not be done in a
hap-hazzard manner, but plans
should be laid and carefully work
ed out. Here is where compe-
tent highway engineer comes in.
Every county should have one,
or if the counties could not afford
it, then the state should have one
who should be allowed to employ
assistants to visit every county
in the state to lay out plans and
instruct the county overseers.
Most people think just any old
thing will do for a road overseer,
school director or justice of the
peace, but there never W a a
worse mistake. This did very
well in the good old days, when
we had good roads in fair weather
but not now when we want good
roads all seasons. It takes brains
and experience com bined to make
good roads; also education along
special lines, and it would be hard
to find a competent man to direct
road working unless he was edu-
Gated for the business.
