Washington, Feb. i8.-Predictions
Of the fiercest revolution the world
ever has known" ii the British govern
ment approves the Hindu exclusion
policy Of its colonies, were made to-
day before the house immigration
committee by DR.. sudhindra Bose, a
professor Of the University Of Iowa,
during an argument in which he con
tended that I1indus were an AIgan
people, entitled to naturalization here
He urged that, if the Hindus were
to be excluded here, a gentlemen's 5.
agreement could be made between the
United States and the BritishIndian
government to restrict the immigra-
ton.
"a special law excluding the Hindus
would humiliate us in ths eyes Of the
world It is not necessary We are
a great class Of British subjects, SAID
DR. Bose, and are entitled to the
rights Of such q class. International
complications may follow an attempt
to exclude US
THE colonies Of Great Britain are
esciadiHg Hndns, observed Chairman
Burnett.
THE central government in Eng
land has not endorsed such action
replied DR.. Bose. If it does it win
precipitate the fiercest revolution the
world has ever known. The people Of
india are awakening and if they are
to remain a part Of the British EN-
pire something must be done; some
solution Of this problem arrived at
which is more reasonable than any
yet suggested"

LAW UNCONSTITUTIONAL

Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 1.-THE Neb-
raslza supreme court, in a decision to-
day, declares the clause in the char
ter Of the city Of South Omaha, Neb,
providing that only union labor could
be employed on public works is un-
constitutional The court rules that
the clause is void because 1t is I'M
democratic in its plan, in conflict with
the state law and contrary to the
spirit Of the republican form Of gov
ernment, 1t holds further that the
rule takes the private property Of
the taxpayer without due process Of
law to support q privileged class at
the expense Of the taxpayers.

uation came up for discussion today
in the imperial parliament DR.. AL
fred Zimmerman, under secretary Of
state for foreign affairs. answered an
Interpolation by two Of the national
liberal leaders as to whether Prou-
sional President Huerta has made
representations to Germany in regard
to the raising Of the embargo" and
expressed the conviction that nobody
outside Of Mexico could enforce a
settlement Of that country's difhcui
ties. The restoration Of peace in
Mexico. he said, could be hoped for
only if the Mexican parties were al
lowed to fight out their quarrels with
out interference, and the raising Of
the embargo merely gave American
citizens the same right OF selling arms
as was enjoyed BY other nations. The
under secretary informed the house
that measures had been taken to
protect Germans in Mexico, and de-
clared that Mexico would be held full
ly responsible for all their property
losses.

DAVIS Is APPOINTED
RECEIVER OF GRANT
LAS VEGAS ATTORNEY WILL
LOOK AFTER BIG PORTION or
MORA TRACT


After hearing IN chambers, Judge
David ]. Leahy, upon the application
or Frank IIoys appointed enen
B. Davis, Jr., as receiver Of ali that
part Of the Mora grant which lies
north Of the fifth correction line OF
the thirty-seyenth parallel This i'm
aginary line runs, roughly, from east
to west though the towns of Wagon
Mound on the east, and Cleveland, on
the west, in Mora county; ana the
particular tract Of land that is en-
braced in the court order lies wholly
in Mora county and contains about
$4,000 acres.
For many years: since 1885, in fact,
when the grant was made, it has been
almost impossible for anyone to per
feet title to any part Of the property.
Since 1877 suit has been pending
looking toward partition Of the land
grant and this, instead Of expediting
the settlement Of land titles. has ap-
parently done much to keep them in
a chaotic condition.
The appointment Of a receiver by
the court is a long step in the direc-
ton Of settling up titles on the grant.
1t will be Of direct benefit to all resi-
dents on the property because it will
afford an opportunity to every one Of
them to settle their titles with slight
expense and win make them valuable
for the communities and little towns
on the grant lands that up to the
present time have been productive on
II Of worry ana trouble.
The unoccupied portions Of the
grant will be developed by the re-
oeiver and made to yield indirect and
direct benefits to the residents Of that
part Of Mora county and to the com
munitlss in that section. It viii af-
ford an opportunity for development
to Mora county that has heretofore
been lacking because Of the complete
uncertainty of land titles ia one of
the most valuable aad productive re-
gions Of New Mexico.

ed they were in Washington on polit-

attorneys that the present suit is the
result Of a political intrigue

national committeeman from the In
dian territory was to be called after
Robertson's cross-examination Is fin
lished. It was n Jacobs room that
Mrs. Bond alleges that the senator
attacked her. Mrs. Gore accompanied
the senator to the court room and sat
beside him.
Shortly after Robertson took the
stand to continue MS testimony he
was excused temporarily, and Deputy
Sheriff EzelI was called. The wit
ness testified that the senator had
evaded service Of the papers in Mrs.
Bonds suit and that he was prevent
ed from seeing the senator by a num-
her Of friends Of the latter who barr
cd the door to Cores room IN local

Some time later there was a strike
at his mine and he had to begin ali
over again with non-union miners. It
is my BELIEF that this second strike
was called by the United Mine Work
ers because Mr.. Bettis had complain
ed Of the conditions under whicn his
mine was operated after he had sign
ed with the union The United Mine
Workers have habit Of making an
example Of any operator who com
plains"
How have the accidents in the
coal mines Of Colorado compared with
the record in adjacent unionized
states?" asked Costigan.
Colorado has a bad record on ac-
count Of a series Of dust explosions
| in 1910, but accidents are not confined
to non-union mines.e one Of the worst
accidents in the history of mining
was the Cherry mine disaster in Ini-
nois. a unonized state
The witness was Hueusioned vigor-
ously about various disasters Of the
victor-American company. He said
that the company had suspicious that
the Del Aqua disaster in 1910 was
incendiary.
FMonopoIy Of Labor,
"If the United Mine Workers were
incorporated would you recognize the
union% asked Representative Byrnes.
''No / think not. l do not approve
their present methods or their pur
poses.
The witness added my idea is
that some day we will have competi-
tion among unions which will raise
their standards. In that event it may
become safe to contract with them
think that this attempted monopoly
of labor by the United Mine Workers
Of America is dangerous
Haven't you practically monop
oily Of the coal industry Of this state@
asked Mr. costigan.
"There is no combination among
the operators who have advertised
themselves as representing 95 per
cent Of the coal industry" replied Mr.
osgood
The witness then was questioned
about retail coal prices.
How many mines in this state are
operated BY union labor?"
"About 5 per cent Of coal in the
state is produced by Infnes that have
signed with the Unions
Mr.. Osgood denied any hostility to-
ward the corporations which have
signed union contracts. I'VE are buy
ing coal of one of them" he explain
ed. q don't care to mention the name
Of this company, because the contract
with the United Mine Workers pro
hibits sale to non-union mines"
In response to questions by Mr.
Costigan, the witness said each com
pany was expected to pay for the ma
chine guns used on its own property
Near the close Of the cross -examin
alton Mr.. Costigan pressed the wit
ness for further testimony regarding
his relations with labor unions.
Il can't see that the miners are
any better off than they were before
the United Mine Workers Of America
were organized" declared Osgood.
