Twin FALLS BESTS
AMERICAN FALLS
Locals Given Good Hard Con-
test Sunday.
THE AMERICAN FALLS TWIRLER
STRIKES OUT SIXTEEN.
Hard Hitting In Closing Innings Gives
Twin Falls the Victory with Score
of 5 to I.

The American Falls baseball team
Is no easy proposition for any of the
teams of the state il the showing
made last Sunday is fair sample OF
Its work this year. For five innings
Ginger, the American Falls pitcher,
held the locals scoreless with man
after man biting the atmosphere
three times, trying to connect with
his deceptive twirling. Bursing and
Chaplin, for the local team, did splen-
did work and held the visitors down
to four hits and single score OBJ
tanned In the first inning.
In the sixth Twin Falls put two men
across the plate for the first scores
and again in the eighth by punching
their hits sent three more home.
Ginger proved puzzle for the To-
calls to the extent of sixteen strike
outs, while Bursting was credited with
eleven
The final score of five to one does
not show how fast a game was
played for eight innings. The fans
were thoroughly satisfied and that
should be convincing of the grade OF
baseball put up by the locals under
the direction of Manager Chaplin.

WILL TEST LAND BILL.
Japan Will Take Her Troubles to the
Courts.

Washington. May 6.-To test the
constitutionality of the California
anti-alien land bill a resolution intro
duced In the house today by Repre-
sentative Britt, directs the govern
ment to take such steps as are nee
essary toward judicial test of the
California law, with view to it's
annullment.' In statement accom-
panying the resolution Britt attacked
the administration for it's attitude to-
ward the British government in the
canal controversy and toward Japan
In differences over the alien land law.
Washington, May 6.-It has devel-
oped that as result of the centering
of attention upon the California situa-
ton, a number of the diplomatic rep
resentatives in Washington have been
informally discussing and comforting
over alleged violations of treaties by
many states of the Union. Violations
are said to have occurred, particularly
in connection with cases involving the
disposition of property of aliens that
have died intestate in this country and
in which local state courts have taken
jurisdiction in defiance of treaties
Altogether there are indications of
a feeling of unrest that may lead to
demands upon the national govern
ment which could not be complied
with without a general rearrangement
Of the functions of the national and
state governments, so far as they con-
cern aliens.
The Japanese embassy was supplied
| by the state department yesterday
with copy of the alien land bill
passed by the California legislature,
and the ambassador will employ the
time between now and Secretary Bry-
ans return to Washington in prepar-
ing formal protest against the meas
ure. Apparently the embassy has nc
hope that any word President Will
son may send after Secretary Bryan's
| return will influence Governor John.
son to withhold his signature from
the act, so the only object of the pro
test will be to acquaint the American
people with the Japanese contention
and II possible to influence the legis
lative branch of the government to en-
deavor to nullify the action of tht
California legislature.
The embassy will make known the
ground of it's protest in a diplomatic
note to Secretary Bryan. 1t is wei
understood that to settle the question
no matter what may be the point O.
objection, will require the action o
the United States courts, and mucl
consideration must be given to thu
procedure to be followed in arrangint
for judicial test of the Californi;
law. 1t will be for Secretary Bryan
to determine whether the United
States government itself shall become
a party to suit of this character
International lawyers hint that tn,
administration is in an exceedingl.
delicate position, for the reason that
while apparently champion of thu
Japanese cause through speeches o
the secretary of state before the Cali
fornia legislature. probably from thi
point on 1t must defend the Californi,
law against Japan in the diplomats
struggle about to begin.

ENGLISH OPPOSED TO SUFFRAGE
Parliament Refuses Women the Right
to Vote After Long Debate.

London-The fate of the woman's
suffrage bill was sealed Tuesday
night by the votes of more than so
Irish Nationalists, who voted against
it. The bill, whereby it was sought to
enfranchise 100000 women, was re-
jected by majority of At. The vote
stood 266 to 219.
Whether there Is any chance that
the present parliament will pass a
bill of more limited character may be
doubted. Possibly the Nationalists
fear that If they allow woman's
franchise bill to pass the second read
ing it will lead to parliamentary
struggle, which would not unlikely
end in dissolution of parliament be-
fore the home rule bill becomes law.
Furthermore, the debate proved that
the militant policy of the suffragettes
has done the cause great harm, as far
as parliament is concerned The con-
ciliation bill of last session was re-
jected by only small majority, COM
pared with the Dickinson bill, which
has lately been under discussion, and
previous bills, giving some measure of
enfranch1sement to women have
passed the second reading, although
they never survived subsequent
stages.
Recent police court disclosures of
acts Of incendiarism planned by the
militants far SURPRISING in magnitude
anything heretofore attempted, and
the burning of st. GATHERINGS church
at Hatcham, undoubtedly influenced
many members to vote against the
bill
The figures of the division. showing
the defeat Of the bill, were greeted
with a great cheer from all sides Of
the house. The debate, which on
Monday proceeded with extraordinary
apathy, was Tuesday characterized by
intensity and brilliant speeches. The
house was crowded and pervaded with
an atmosphere OF electrical excite
ment. The strangers galleries were
packed and many anxious faces
peered from behind the gallery devot-
ed to women.
Neither Andrew Bonar Law, leader
Fof the opposition. nor A. ]. Balfoul
voted In the division. Among the
ministers who voted against the bill
were Premier Asquith, Reginald Nc
Kenna and Winston Spencer Chur'
chill.
4 The supporters Of the bill included
SiR Edward Grey and David Lloyd
George.
