RESTRICTIONS
HELD DEROGATORY
Wants Right of People to Come to This
Country and to Own Land - CUES
ton Has Been at Deadlock the Past
Two Years.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S.-Japan s
purpose to renew, after the European
war, her contention for the right of
her people to emigrate to and own land
in the United States, suggested in New
York Tuesday by Baron Yoshiro Saka-
TAM, ex-minister of finance in the To-
kio cabinet, was frankly admitted YES
terdav at the japanese embassy
Negotiations over these questions,
which came to deadlock two years
ago, are regarded by Japan, it was ex-
planned, as merely postponed
The deadlock followed a long series
of conferences between Secretary
Bryan and Baron Chinda, then the Jap
anese ambassador, and an exchange of
notes between the two governments
over the alien land legislation enacted
by California.
After the state department had point
ed out that under its constitution the
United States government could do no
more than seek to prevent such legisla-
tion and that persons affected BIZ it had
recourse to the federal courts, Japan
I closed the exchanges with note saying
her complaint had not been answered
and reserving "for the present further
discussion of the issue. >
/ There will be no further formal dis
cussion of the subject, by the embassy
! at least, until the arrival of the new
ambassador, DR.. Amoro Sato, who i,
expected in Washington in a few
months.
The position of the japanese govern
ment, according to informal statement
by embassy officials. still is that re
strictions on immigration and land hold
ing are not only derogatory to her dig
nifty, but are unjust under intcrnationa
law in that they are discriminator,
lagainst her in favor of other nations.
The embassy believes the renewe,
negotiations will be friendly in char
acter.
: japanese policy toward the propose
trade war after the war will be out
lined here Friday with the visit O
Baron Sakatani, who is just back fror
the recent allied economic confcrenc
/ in Paris. Japan is said to be deeply il
p tercsted in the proposed trade war, a
her participation in it is counted o
to remove serious competition in Chin;
her vital trade field.

SCHOOL PUPILS DO
PRACTICAL HANDICRAFT

The annual display of industrial
work done by pupils in all grades of
the Caldwell schools the past year was
made at the high school building the
latter part of last week. Included in
the exhibition were specimens of do
mestic science, manual training, agri-
cultural and general handicraft work.
Large numbers of visitors viewed and
admired the exhibits during afternoon
and evening of both days.
In the domestic science room, now
quite fully equipped and modernly ar
ranged, largely through the craftman-
ship of boys of the manual training
department were arranged many spec
linens of culinary skill. The practical
side of the training the embryo cooks
had received was emphasized by &C
companying placards stating the food
value of the dish, or the purpose for
which it should be used.
Work in Concrete.
Features to be seen in the agricul-
ture classroom worthy of particular
note were a model concrete silo built
entirely by the boys, and all iron and
concrete cattle stanchion.
| In the gymnasium was arranged, in
tasty manner, pieces of furniture made
by the manual training classes, sam.
pies of sewing fabricated by the girls
and specimens of the handcraft work
done by 10th boys and girls in the
grades of all the various buildings
The exhibits were admirably assem-
bled The outstanding feature EN-
phasized throughout was the practica
nature of the work being done by the
students.
In insisting that the pupils be laugh
to make articles which are useful II
the home, Superintendent Clifford i.
making a big advance over the ole
systems, in which utility of the arti
cles on which the children employed
their time was not considered.
Pupils Improve Buildings.
Another commendable feature is TIL,
fact that in the Caldwell schools TIL,
industrial work is begun in the loves
grades and continued throughout thu
entire course. Largely because of thu
fact for instance, that boys of ever,
class in the high school do manua
training work, it was possible to show
the visitor innumerable carpentry i'm
provements about the high schoo
buildings which have been wrough
by the workers in the course of thei
regular exercises.

M'CLUSKY DID NOT PRESENT
PETITION FOR DISTRICT
Error in Tribune Report of Water
Users Meeting.

In its account of the meeting of the
board of directors of the Boise Water
Users association published in The
Tribune OF last week, an error was
made. The Tribune said:
Petitions signed by 81 settlers were
presented to the board by Messrs.
William McCluckey and Harry \.
Wood asking that the Water Users
association be converted into an ir-
rigation district. Mr. Wood took oc-
casion to say that the attitude of the
settlers toward the irrigation district
had been misrerresented. In substan-
tiatiof of his statement he presented
his petition with so signatures. There
are upwards of 1000 settlers on the
Boise project Mr.. McCluskey, who
has been employed by Mr.. B. F. Stou-
temyer. counsel for the Reclamation
Service. presented petition with 10
signatures. A third petition was pre-
sented with 2 signatures"
Mr.. McCluskey states that he signed
a petition for an irrigation district but
neither signed nor presented to the
board such a petition. He states that
his time is fully occupied in caring for
| three ranches and that he has no time
to devote to circulating petitions.
The Tribune is pleased to make this
| correction.

A.. 0, CHRISTOPHER CALLS
DOWN AUTHORS OF
LIBEL AGAINST HIM

The Van Deusen audit has thus far
produced $2.9l and at cost of upward
of $250000. The State Bank of Mid
dleton has sent in the first named
amount to cover a shortage claimed
by Canyon county and shown to exist
by the Van Deuscn report.
A Payette Valley paper, basing its
statements on information furnished
stated last week that Assessor Chris
treasury about $2600.0O, which sum it
was represented was a portion of an
alleged shortage in the assessors Of
flee. When the article in question was
called to the attention of Mr.. Chris
topher, he Immediately declared his
intention of filing suit for libel against
the newspaper unless due and ample
retraction were made at once. The pa
per promised to make the retraction.
The paper in question, the Fruitland
Banner, states that the information
was furnished by County Attorney
Griffiths. Mr.. Griffiths denies that he
made any statement of the kind to the
publisher of the newspaper.
Mr.. Christopher has devoted much
of his spare time recently to checking
over items of the Van Deusen report
which were listed as Shortages" in
his balances. He states that numer-
Gus errors have been found, including
a large double entry of the same
amount made by deputy who was
noted for his painstaking care. The
assessor promises some interesting
disclosures when he makes a written
report to The commissioners.
Bailey Wants Light.
1t is stated that former Recorder
Bailey, against whom the county COM
missioners believe they have claims
approaching $500 in amount, has
written from his home in Portland tc
ask for details of the statement made
out against him. He has also indi.
Gated that he will endeavor to have
someone check over the items care
fully before accepting the auditors
| findings as correct.
If the county commissioners are in
clined to take legal steps in an effort
| to collect from the other former off
GERS from whom smaller balances are
claimed to be due, there is ample evi
dence that they will have the oppor
tunity to do SO.
