IS READY FOR WAR

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.
WASHINGTON, April 2s.-Dramat-
ically declaring that no alien shoulo
be permitted to hold land in the Uni
ted States, Representative Sisson OF
Mississippi today brought the Califor-
nia-Japanese alien land dispute law
before the house in a fiery speech,
delivered at the opening of the ses-
sion. He declared that before we
allow any foreign nation to dictate
our land holding laws, we should
fight"
The Mississippi congressman as
serted that the California situation
was an acute one and declared that
as the land of the nation was the
foundation stone of its hope of pro-
gress, no foreigner should be allowed
to hold 1t.
"If we have the alternative of war
and submission to Japan's arrogant
claims then | am for war" he said.
What would Washington say II he
were confronted with this same prop
osition? Shall the Japanese enjoy
our prosperity, the fruits of our land
and the learning of our institutions
and yet be forced to defend and sus.
tain them?
.The treaties OF a nation should not
interfere with the rights OF a state
because the destruction of states
rights by treaty means the destruc
| tion Of the federated nation I am
with the good people of California In
| their fight for the control Of their
SOIL"
Sisson pointed out that the found
ers Of the government never dreamed
of condition arising where foreign
governments would demand the right
| to control land, or acquire its owner
! ship.
| "The president and secretary q
state should only assure the alier
government that its people will be
dealt with fairly in accordance witt
the laws of the state" he asserted.
/ The Mississippi congressman de
clared that if the treaty-making pow
er was greater than that of states
rights, the aliens position would bt
superior to that OF the native.
II believe 1t is highly dangerous il
great republic like this for the
treaty making power to be vested II
one branch of the government III
declared.
Representative Mann OF Illinois a
4 this point interrupted Sisson and ask
ed. If under the constitution this ma
tion could not make treaties with for
eign powers, assuring the American
residents property rights In fore1gl
lands. Sisson admitted this was true
but declared that under ctates' right
In this country 1t was impossible II
vest that sovereignty in our fedora
government.
"California has the unquestione'
right to pass laws restricting tn
right to lease and own land within
\ it's borders, providing such laws ap
pIy alike to all aliens" Sisson con
\ tinued.
mo greater misfortune could befal

START TICKET CANVASS
House to House Campaign For Sale
of Chautauqua Admissions Opens;
Effort to Handle Guaranty Made.

An active canvass for the sale of
season tickets to the Dallas Chautau-
qua was begun this morning and it is
hoped that the response by Dallas
people will be liberal. Mrs. d. M.
Metzger has volunteered to give her
time for few days to this work
and will make a house to house can
vass for the sale of the tickets. Bus
mess men Of Dallas have guaranteed
the sale of 600 tickets and it is hop
ed that the majority of these will be
taken by those who will attend the
sessions. The regular price of the
tickets is $500 for adults and $l.00
for children, but, if they are purchas-
ed before opening day the price will
be $3.50 for adults. The season
tickets will admit bearer to the three
programs, morning, afternoon and
night of each day.
Inasmuch as Mrs. Metzger will call
at the homes it suggested that the
men leave some loose change with
their wives before they depart for
business in the morning.

Longing for the Green Box

When Barkilphedro left Southwark he
had put the machinery of the law at
work against Ursus. The stroller was
ordered to leave the country
Old laws were brought into play against
Ursus. The stroller was ordered to leave

Old laws were brought into play against

And to have a wolf in civilized COM

bounties set upon the heads of wolves.

He lonsed for the Green Box again--and

AS he wandered about he came suddenly
to foom in the center of which was a

Gwynplaine. Then she put an arm around

The Duchess JOsiana

Lord David was said to be the nat
ural son of the late Lord Clancharlie.
Clancharlie had been something of a
gay youth, but as he grew older had be-
come one of the sternest of the Puri-
tans, and had fought for and with
Cromwell.
When the Restoration came. Lord
Clancharlie. instead of changing his no.
ntlcal faith, as so many did, retired to
Switzerland, where, In his old age. he
married the daughter of the reeicide
Bradshaw
There had been rumors that a son had
been born from this marriage, but
nothing could be proved; and so King
James, after the death of Lord Clan
charlie, assigned all his honors and es-
tates to Lord David Dirry- Moir, pro-
vided the said Lord David should mar
ry the Duchess Josiana
The Duchess and Lord David had ac

Then, when he began to tell of his

The contagion was instantaneous. He
was assailed by chaos Of merry cries,

Finally, the different clews having been
all worked out, Hardquanonne was
brought to the Jail of Southwark and
Gwynplaine brought before him.
The tortured man, when bade to do so,
opened his eyes and cried out, '"rhat is
he," laughing hideously as he did so.
1t was enough-the conformation had
accomplished its object. Hardquanonne
died from his torture, refusing to confess
all that was asked of him. But they
had the evidence and Gwynplaine was
taken from the prison and thrust into
closed carriage which set out at once for
where he did not know.
At length the carriage stopped and he
was taken into a great palace with mar
BILE halls, and courts with fountains and
baths in them, built after the Italian
fashion. His other attendants disappear
ed and Barkilphedro was left alone with
him.
Barkilphedro took out long document
and read to Gwynpaine the history of
his life as 1t had been unearthed by
the orders of the Queen.
Even the names of the crew of the
Matutina had been learned--all of them.

Unexpected Spectators

The show was success in Southwar
and in the audience Gwynplaine noticed
one mas dressed as a sailor who ap-
peared to be especially enthusiastic.
About the inn they said his name was
Tom -Jim-Ja
There was a box set apart for the
nobility. but 1t was hardly expected
that 1t would be occupied. What was
the astonishment of all to see one night
u gorgeous woman sitting there.
She was richly attired and had on Il
profusion of Jewels. A great coach
drawn by six horses had brought her
to the place and she was attended by
many servants.
People whispered that this woman
was the celebrated Josiana, Duchess of
the grace of James III, which monarch
was reputed to be her father.
James was gone how, and William
and Mary were gone. and Anne reigned
in their stead. Anne had no very great
love for her half-sister, the Duchess
Josiana. Anne was rather stupid and
Josiana was brilliant. There could be
no sympathy between them.
1t was whispered, also, about the
southwark inn that the sailor who had
been passing as Tom-Jim- Jack and who
had got into the carriage with the
Duchess when she drove away, was, in
reality Lord David Dirry- -Moir, who, as
4 everybody knew, had been long af-
fianced to Josiana.
