JAPAN HEARD WITH REGRET
Efforts of the Government to Pacify
Public Opinion Not Meeting
With Much Success

Tokio.-The news that the Califor-
mia anti-alien land ownership bill had
been signed by Governor Johnson
was received here with regret, al
though it had been discounted in Of
fetal and non-ofhcial circles. 1t was
hoped up to the last moment, how
ever, that Washington's intervention
would prove successful The news
papers published extra editions with
the announcement that the bill had
been signed.
The efforts of the japanese govern
ment are concentrated at present on
pacifying public opinion, but the task
is regarded in many quarters as a
more dfIicult one than at the time Of
the California school controversy or
even a year ago.

OLD PLA YER MORE VERSATILE


One marvels how major league
teams 4 few years back managed to
30 through a season with u OF; IS
players when today the average team
dnds itself pushed for material even
though it carry 25 players on Its list.
In the old days few players were
aver idle. Pitchers played the outfeld
when they were not pitching. while
satchers were constantly being used
II the infield when they could be-
spared behind the bat. It would seem
that the players were more versatile
II those days or the standard Of play
vas not as high as it is today.
The average pitcher nowadays can
pitch, and that let's him out. He could
not fill any other position satisfac-
ftorily, and is idle about five days out
81 every week. When the pitchers
were forced to play other positions
they naturally acquired ability aside
from pitching, and this made them Of
more value to their teams. III

GOOD FOR THE EAST.
Last Weeks Weather Has Eeen Very
Favorable. ..

Washington, Sept. 3.-A review of
the weather in the cotton belt for the
week that ended Monday was sisued
today as follows:.
East Of the Mississippi river the
favorable conditions of the past sew.
eral weeks continued, but laigh tenn
peratures and generally deficient rain
fall have reduced the soil moisture be-
low that necessary for the best crop
development and more rain now is
needed in many portions.
West of the Mississippi, high, dry
temperatures continued and there
was a nearly universal absence OF any
beneficial rainfall, save at few points
in Texas. The drought and heat con-
tinued especially severe in Oklahoma,
southern Missouri and large portions
of Texas, and the lack Of rainfall is
now being severely felt in Arkansas
and probably in northern Louisiana"

CRITICISE CROP MOVING PLANS.
Farmers Convention at Saiina, Kan.
Finds Fault with McAdOo's Relief
Measure.

Salina, Kan, Sept 3.-Consideration
OF plans TO bring about an extension
OF the parcel post system, including
the raising of the weight limit and
the lowering of rates, was one of the
problems to which delegates to the
annual convention Of the Farmers
National Educational and Cooperative
association here turned their atten.
ton today.
The plan Of the treasury depart.
ment for placing money in various
banks to aid in moving crops was crit
icized severely and the convention
adopted a report of the legislative
committee which declared it could not
see single benefit in the crop aid
plan.
The report declared the result OF
the plan would be that money would
not be loaned to the farmer to en-.
able him to market his crop gradual
ly to meet demands Of trade but
would put more money into the
hands Of spectators to buy crops
from farmers forced to sell because
they could not get money"
The administration currency bill
also was criticized on the ground that
it would force farmers to- sell al
harvest time and that speculation
would follow.
The convention adopted resolutions
asking congress not ''to allow fur
ther appropriations for bulletin SER
vice which nobody reads" but to give
more appropriations for farmers in
terests"
A resolution urging a national mar
keting. bureau was adopted.
speakers at the convention tonight
said the amount of money the treas
ury department will place in banks to
aid in moving crops should be in
creased to s200,00O,0OO, under con-
ditons requiring central banks to
lend money to their correspondent
banks in the rural sections at per
cent interest and rural banks to
charge their customers 6.per cent for
loans.
1t was suggested that the loans
should be secured by =, agricultural
products to be rated at so. per cent
of their actual value.

MT to shoot him, when they had the
drop on him. They pointed out the
fact that they did not consider the
matter seriously, or they would not
have gone back to the depot and gone
to sleep there and allowed Pate to
come upon them and arrest them the
second time. They indicated that II
they had meant business they could
have easily shot the agent when he
arrested them the second time, as
nc came into the dark waiting room
and leant over them before ne krey:
who they were.
They endeavOred to make fun of
their arrest this morning at the ex-
pense of the local officers, who, they
said, were extremely nervous and
would have shot them IL they had
crooked finger, coming upon them
with Winchester rifles and pistols
drawn, ready to fire, but Jailer Owens
shut them up in short order on this
point by telling them that it would
have been extremely dangerous for
them had they tried to play any
tricks. for the officers would have
showed them just how seriously they
were In for business and just how lit
tie frightened they were.
Although the two had made a re-
quest at first that nothing be put in
the papers they asked that papers be
sent them Of anything written about
them and that they be not put down
as train robbers. for that was not what
they were.
