OF CALIFORNIA DEAD
John M. EshIeman, One Of the Golden
States Brilliant Men Dies Sud-
denly at His Home.
BY Pac. and Int'I News Service.

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Feb. 2S.-
Lieutenant Governor John NJ. Eshle-
man of California, died suddenly this
morning at Indio, Riverside County,
California.
Mr.. Eshleman was one Of the most
brilliant young men OF California. He
had been in the public eye for a num-
Der OF years in spite of his youth. He
was about 81 years old and had
served on the California railroad COM
mission before being elected lieuten-
ant governor.
He was graduate of the University
of California and received his appoint
ment TO the railroad commission from
Governor johnson shortly after leav-
ing college.
His death must have come as a
shock to California as he was actively
before the state in connection with
the political situation at the time of
his death.
A great deal of the progressive leg
islation of California during Governor
Johnson's administration came direct
ly from his pen.
SACRAMENTO, Feb. 28.-Governor
Johnson will appoint Eshleman's sue
cessor as the California state consti-
tuition makes no provision for the au-
tomato succession.
1t is rumored that Matt J. Sullivan,
former state supreme court justice or
Chester Rowell of Fresno will prob
ably be appointed
He had been in ill health for some
time but his death was unexpected.
He went to India some time ago in
search OF health.

WILSON IN BAD
ON SUBMARINE
CONTROVERSY
GERMANY REFUSES TO RETRAcT
ON POLICY AND PRESIDENT AD.
mITs THAT BRITISH ORDERS TO
MERCHANTMEN ALTERS sITuA-
TION. .,
sy Pac. and IntI News Service.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-The in
ternational situation is materially
grayer this morning.
Germany through Ambassador Won
Bernstorff has notified Secretary of
State Lansing that there is no such
thing as a merchant vessel arming
for defensive purposes. The German
government states that any armament
carried by merchantmen, irrespec-
tive Of where II is mounted, is for
offensive warfare, inasmuch as sub
marine cannot defend herself at over
1000 yards, while the range of the
guns carried by the allies merchant
ment have an average range of 10000
yards.
1t is also declared that the sub
marines are within their rights under
the International laws in torpedoing
these armed vessels without warning.
Germany also insists that the secret
orders given by the British admiralty
to their merchantmen have abridged
and nullified their pledges of August,
1914, that they would not use the
guns except for defense. They now
claim that the British admiralty has
Issued secret orders that the mer-
chant vessels are TO attack submarines
wherever encountered.
The cabinet will take up the whole
complicated question, especially the
effect this message from Germany will
have on congress, tomorrow.
1t is realized that the position Ger
many has taken is in direct variance
with that of President Wilson, as out
lined in Stones letters. In the letters
mentioned the President stated that
he was irrevocably committed to the
doctrine that the international law
permits the arming of merchant ves-
sells for the purpose of defense.
Both President Wilson and Secre.
tary Lansing declined to intimate what
would be the next step taken in the
submarine situation. After Lansing
had received Bernstorff's memoran-
dunn he had little to say, and an
nounced that he did not wish to dis
cuss the situation at this time.
The Bernstorff memorandum did not
suggest any postponement of Ger
many's submarine plan to torpedo all
armed merchantmen after the first of
March without warning.
Germany's reply in the Lusitania
case has been on Lansing's desk for
ten days now and remains unaecepted.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. est
was learned late this afternoon that
the president stated that ne is i'm.
pressed with the charges Germany has
made that the British admiralty has
ordered all her merchantmen to at.
tach submarines on sight.
He states that IL Germany can pro.
duce affidavits to support this charge
1t will materially alter the situation
and that the entente powers will be
requested to offer an explanation be,
fore any action is taken in reference
to Germany.

Senator LaFollette's amendment to
place minimum price OF three dol.
lars an acre upon the land, which was

passage OF the bill, was defeated by a

After the defeat Of this amendment
the bill was carried on a vivi voce

No corporation, association or indi-
vidual could acquire two million acres

the acquisition Of the lands to $40

Quire more than one tract through

The same character Of fraud might be
perpetrated with regard to these en-
tries, and no doubt in a few cases has
been, but the punishment OF such
frauds have been so great in recent
years that 1t is Improbable to attempt
such frauds. The last great fraud of
