Washington, April 19.-State rights
are supreme in the case except the
exclusion of Japanese from Califor-
MIA. This is the position taken by
President Wilson. But he hopes to
avoid an open break with the Jap
anese and consequently sent a lengthy
personal telegram to Governor John
son. The contents are kept secret
but it is understood the president per-
sonally appealed to Johnson to see
that no mistakes were made in the
legislation.
The president saw no visitors TO-
day. even President Bryan, who want
ed to discuss the California situation
with the president, not being admit
ted to the White House private
rooms. Bryan did, however talk
with the president half an hour by
telephone on the matter. 1t was ad-
mitted at the state department that

WHITNEY CONDITIONS
UNDER INNESTIGA

Baker. Ore, April 19.-An investi-
CATION into the moral conditions of the
town Of Whitney by the grand jury,
which took a recess yesterday. is not
very complimentary to that munich
pality and its officials, for while no
indictments were returned the grand
jury reported to the court that af-
fairs at Whitney were in a deplorable
condition. A number of witnesses
were examined and it was established
beyond doubt, according to the report,
that there is little attention paid in
Whitney for the law as regards Sun
day liquor selling, gambling and other
vices
No indictments We're returned, ac-
cording to the jury, for the reason that
probably convictions would not result
until further testimony could be Sc
cured. A copy Of the report will be
sent to the city council of Whitney so
that the officials may know what is
going on and that the conditions there
are under investigation.

RESEMBLANCE OF FRONTIER
DAYS SEEN ON MAIN STREET

Baker, Ore, April IA grizzyy,
grey haired old man, his rural son. a
shaggy old horse that had seen bet
ter days and could be retired on the
pension list, and rattle trap Of a
wagon that resembled a miniature
prairie schooner, made a picture in
the minds eye yesterday afternoon,
that will last long by all who saw the
outfit.
The pair were wood choppers who
had travelled for three days from the
woods of the Burnt river country. and
had taken contract for cutting logs
in a camp about nine miles up the
Sumpter Valley tracks. The old gen.
tleman was telling of his prowess as
wood chopper, but judging from his
appearances he should be dealt with
as kindly as was suggested for the
horse.
They lad driven the poor old ami
NAL single to the heavy spring wagon
up and down the hills, forded streams
and along almost impossible roads
and still the old man asserted that
he was one of the best "nags" he
had ever seen, and that they had
bought him cheap"

NEWSPAPERS THERE AGAINST It.
If California Passes Land Measures, Japan 0ffci-

Toxic. April 19.-Despite the rabid
and popular clamor for immediate ac-
ton. the government and the cOnser-
Vativc newspapers take the view that
war with the United States is impos-
sible. even if the California bills arc
passed. The official view is that the
California bill, if allowed to pass, will
be considerably toned down and that
its enforcement will be lax.

to that pending in the California leg

II is predicted its enforcement will be
rigid if the California bill is passed.
Sacramento. April 19.-Protests
which have poured into the legislature
against the anti-alien land bills have
absolutely no effect upon the law
makers according to every solon who
is willing to talk on the subject.
THE matter practically is out of
our hands" is the invariable reply.
THE people of California demand a
stringent anti-alien land law. If we
don't grfant the demand they will ac-
complish such action by the initia-

SO strong has been the sentiment of
people that not a single senator or
assemblyman can be found who will
admit his opposition to the anti-alien
law Some favor amendments to the
measures now before the senate and
assembly but if there are any who

Cecil Mcdonald was the star of the
meet taking first in the so, 100. 22O
and 44O yard dashes. In all of these
events he was crowded close by Har-
old Brock and Ralph Koch. Cliff
Jordan. reliable weight man. showed
he has his onl form by pushing the
shot out over 40 feet for first place.
Rupert Williamson made good
showing in the mile and will doubtless
be able to give a good account of him
self at the coming meet. He was fol-
lowed throughout the four quarters
closely by Arnold Minis William
son and Orson Straughan tied for
first place in the high jump at five
feet. Dunlap, Morris and Hussell tied
for second.
Oscar Ferguson took first hon"rs
in the half mile in good time. Jor-

pulled off in eastern oregon and pre-
