Sacramento, Cal, Jan. S.-Demo-

in California.
After a conference lasting until a

q2cstio@ of propriety raised by the
officials of the Panama exposition
ia San Francisco 1t was decided to
resume the discussion in formal eau
Gus to be called later.
President C. C. Moore, of the expo
sition offered a proposal to the effect
that the alien land law question be
put to vote in any single legislative
district in the state, bot hits propo-
moments and opponents to abide by the
decision of the voters. He asserted
that the Japanese menace" had been
exaggerated and that less than 10000
acres of land in California was owned
by the subjects of the island empire
1t is understood that nearly a score
of bills relating to Japanese immigra-
ton and regulation are in course CT

|MASOUERADED AS GIRL
FOR EIGHTEEN YEARS
Had Many Admirers Among
Boy Friends

Victor, Colo, Jan. S.-After mas
querading as a girl for 18 years, the
sex of Irene Moynahan was learned
yesterday. He was arrested in La
Junta by the sheriff, who because Of
his masculine appearance, decided he
was a boy in girls clothing. Irene
was on his way to visit his father IN
Bisbee, Ariz..
Until the holidays, Irene had been
student in the Victor high school
and all of his life had passed as girl,
having scores of admirers among boy
friends, whose attentions he received
complacently, eating their candy and
accompanying the youthful swans to
moving picture theatres and other
places of amusement.
Mrs. Moynahan, when told that her
son had been arrested and thath Essex
had been discovered, stated that she
had always passed him off as a girl
because of her disappointment in hav
ing two sons. Not even her husband
was aware of the boys sex, she said
This was borne out by the discovery
of letter in the boys effects. The
letter was addressed to his father in
Bisbee and declared that the mother
was sending a son to him as a new
years gift
Irene is hartbroken over the discov-
cry of his secret and says he never
wanted to be found. It's so nice 10
be a girl and have the boys treat
you as they do the ladies, l know !
shall never accustom myself to being
a man." Irene said to the officer who
discovered his sex at the police sta

ESTIMATES Of DEPT. NEEDS
Budgets Are to be Submitted
at Next Meeting

Americas will approach the matter
of city expenditures this year in the
manner which is used in all of the
larger cities in determining the ex-
penditures of the individual depart
ments Off the year in advance. 1t

partments of the city govrnment that
require expenditures in their mainte-
nance. These are the water depart
ment, street departmnt, cemtery de-
partment, fire department and police
department.
In asking for budgets for the year
in advance Americas is following the
example set by all the most economi-
cally and successfully administered
cities in the country. 1t is business
procedure to make each department
estimate the amount of money needed
by it for the year and to live within
that expense account for the year 1t
has the same sanitay and element of
economy that IS found in placing q

Mrs. Mitchell Says It's Safe
to TGuSt Opposite Sex

Ontario, Cal, January 8.-After a
psychological walk of 300 miles
from New York City, leaving there on
June 80 last, Mrs. Clara Mitchell, a
slender young widow, has arrived at
Ontario. She will go from here to Los
Angeles and from there to San Diego,
where her mother resides
She says she has ridden only 100
miles since she left New York Her
longest days hike was forty-fve miles
in thirteen hours, wearing high-heeled
shoes. Throughout the trip she has
worn a black satin dress.
An experiment in the psychology Of
sport" is what Mrs. Mitchell calls her
outing. Much of the way she has fol-
lowed historic trails and, to relieve
what she describes as her mind con-
centration," she whistled as she plod-
ded along.
Three things her trans continental
walk have proved, she asserts-that
physical endurance does not depend on
diet or muscle. that woman's intui-
ton is a safe guide and that walking
is no effort when it becomes a habit.
Her intuition, she declares, has
guided her every MONDAY to farm
house where she would be welcomed
and caused her to shun places where
ishe might have met a rebuff.

COUNTY
FARMERS WERE
Up IN ARMS
THOTGHT They HAD LUNATIC
But 1t Was Only BGdragqlGd
Railroad Surveyor

An amusing story has filtered in
through private sources relative to the
experience of an Amer1cus surveyor
who is member of the party from
this place that is engaged in surveying
the route for the Americas, Triton and
Atlantic railway.
This young surveyor, who is back
rodman with the surveying party, in
Worth county, while separated from
the other members of the group, held
up long pole with a red sight and
ran through a big pond that was be-
tween himself and another member
of the party in process of determining
part of the line of the survey, This
is nothing very unusual for a back
rodman out surveying.
A venerable Worth county resident
upon seeing the young surveyor doing
such an unusual stunt and having
seen none of the other members of
the party, looked on in wonder and
surprise, as the hefty surveyor dashed
through the pond, overcoat on, holding
aloft the long pole with the red sight.
Thereupon the Worth countian came
to the conclusion that the said sur
veyor was an escaped lunatic, the cap
ture and incarceration of whom would
be humane and charitable act. Con-
sequently he summoned a dozen of
his friends, each armed with shotguns,
and the party of farmers set out hot
foot on the trail of the man who
should have been in Milledgeville, as
! they viewed the situation. Having
crept up cautiously behind trees upon
the surveyor, they found him standing
as rigid as a statue, holding the rod
plumb "at sight" This convinced the
farmers more surely than ever that the
young man needed immediate and
strenuous attention.
What in the HI air We tryin'
to do running through that pond that
, way, tryin' to kill ducks with that pole
for?" queried the old farmer who
was the leader of the group. Each of
his companions held his gun ready for
use if the supposed lunatic should
cause them to use desperate measures
TO secure him.
Fortunately for the surveyor, the
other members of the party came
s,lolling up at this juncture. where
Ii on it became plain to the country
folk that the young man was not a
lrnatic. The whole matter became
clearer still to them when it was ex-
Planned that the members of the par
~ were busy in surveying the route for
the new railway.
"Well, it's mighty good thing,
said one of the assembled farmers.
that there others come up when they
did, for we was goin' after you to
senG you to Milledgeville."
