japanese Official Says
Anti-alien Land Bill
Is Just to Countrymen

New York, April e2.-'The attitude of
California is perfectly just and in ac-
cord with restrictive land legislation
which has long been operative in japan"
declared Capt. Uyeno. attache of the
Japanese Embassy at London, upon his
arrival here today. After making this
remarkable statement in reference to
the agitation over the proposed exclu-
sion Of aliens from holding property in
California, Capt. Uyeno said:
Foreigners are restricted in the holding
Of land in Japan, and it is but fair that
California should enact such legislation
as she sees At to offset this"
Capt. Cyeno is now on his way home,
going by way of San Francisco. He
strongly deprecated any possibility of a
war between the United States and his
country.
THE best element in Japan is for
peace" he said. The friendliest feelings
are entertained for the United States.
Any agitation that has sprung up has
been caused by officeseekers, who are
willing to stoop to such methods to Gre
ate sensation. No doubt, spirit for
war exists among all peoples, but not
among the temperate-minded portion"

COLORED STUDENTS OF
GERMAN ARE BARRED
United Societies Will Not Include
Them in the Award of
Medals.

The United German Societies at is
monthly meeting at Arion Hall last night
placed itself on record as being opposed
tC including the colored high school OF
the District, in a motion having for its
purpose the awarding of medals to the
hest German scholars in the high schools
of the city. The motion to recognize
those pupils who can show the highest
average in the German language, ire
spective of color, was defended by Mar
tin Wiegand. president of the society;
Gustave Bender, secretary; Kurt Noelch-
ner, and others.
Those who spoke against recognizing
colored students included Theo A. Leck-
ert, of the Bavaria Society; Hermann
Lechner, of the German Veterans: Franz
Rom, John Weber, August Schmidt, pres
ident of the Arion Society, and others.
Dr. Voelckner. in speaking in favor Of
including the colored high school in the
medal competition. said that the early
German settlers of Germantown, Pa,
were the first to place themselves on rec
ord as being against slavery.
In speaking against the motion, Her
mann Lechner said the white working
man was in danger of being sup
planted by the colored workingman. who
worked for cheaper wages. Mr.. Leck-
ert, of the Bayern Verein, said he did
the colored man.
Referring to the question Of appoint
ment of members of the Excise Board,
Gustave Bender, secretary of the society,
said that certain churches and religious
societies were importuning President
Wilson in behalf of men whom they de-
sired to have appointed on the Excise
Board. Mr.. Bender said: I'VE Germans
are God-fearing and law-abiding citizens,
but we are unalterably opposed to the
church interfering in matters belonging
within the authority Of the State or gov
ernment'' He made a motion to this
effect, which was carried.
Commissioner Cuno Fl. Rudolph was
Endorsed for District Commissioner, and
the society placed itself on record as
having every confidence in the fairness
of President Wilson, with regard to the
Excise Board appointment.
President Wiegand made an urgent
plea for an increased membership, say
ing that it would enhance the prestige
and power Of the organization. The fol-
lowing new members were admitted:
Charles Tanner, +. Brinkmann, Ernst
Gichner and Paul Eschner.

STEEL FRAME BUILDINGS
FINDING FAVOR ABROAD

The steel skeleton frame building for
business purposes is developing a con-
stantly broadening area of popularity.
and IL is now no uncommon thing TO
find steel frame buildings of American
design n leading cities throughout the
world. Though the foreign buildings
have not assumed the heroic proper
lions Of their American prototypes, the
tendency toward "skyscrapers' is con-
stantly growing abroad.

Republic. what is said to be the larg-
est. as we'll as the tallest, building in

high, with a frontage of 1877 feet and
a depth of 1S1 feet. The maximum
height above the level of the sidewalk
is a little over 200 feet.

President Wilson finds himself In the self

Assemblyman w. +. Chandler, chairman
of the ways and means committee Of the
lower house, took a different view. He
said:
president Wilson is absolutely right.
Throughout the States there are large
numbers of Europeans, including English
men and Scotchmen, who are getting
rich from the States resources but who
refuse, nevertheless, to bear any Of the
burdens of citizenship. They condemn the
school system and the laws. If such peo-
pie are not willing to become citizens
they should not stay here and enrich
themselves at the expense of others who
would become citizens"

The Lure Of the Postoff1ce

National Tribune: Is there anything
so fascinating as postoflce?
In the opinion Of more than half .
million free and independent, not to
say Democratic, Americans there is
not.
Fully 100000 ardent patriots are
burning with indignation at President
Taft's having placed $4,000 postoffices
under civil service. For each Of these
$4,000 there are at least ten ferment-
ing lovers OF their country who feel
that there can be no real progress: no
reform worthy the name; no actual re
duction in the cost of living; no proper
revision of the tariff; no successful
stop to negro supremacy until he is
installed as postmaster. This must
be done at once, for those vital reforms
will halt until then.
What lure can there be in selling
postage stamps at cents apiece when
there are idle fields crying to have
raised on them 81 wheat, Ascent corn
and So pork.
Though nine out of every ten OF
these ardent patriots are certain io
be disappointed a mucl,
! larger proportiOn-they are devotine
oceans Of more or less valuable time
/ to loud denunciation Of the presidential
order, to demanding its revocation, to
circulating petitions, to setting up pu.
lltical pins, making lifelong enemies O.
friends who want the postoffices them
selves, and infusing gall and wormwooi
into the waking hours of Democratic
, congressman.
The hunger Of young man for 9
wife, an old maid for a husband, or 8
Bulgarian for Turkish blood, is q mild
passion compared with the lust Of an
American citizen for postofflce. when
the fever once seizes him.

maid, Lizzie.
