Senator Johnson
Assails Censorship
Ridicules Order to Print
can Atlantic Port; APP
peals for Publicity

WASHINGTON, Aug. 90. - The alb
sUrdity of requesting the newspapers
OF the country TO speak Of "a Pacific
port" or ian Atlantic port was held
10 70 rIdicule IN the Senate to-day by
Senator Johnson. of California.
Il have an abiding confidence in the
American people" he said. There has
never been a time IN all our history
when the American people have not
risen superior 10 any crisis. All they
ask Is that they shall be treated with
equality, with honesty and with truth
in this great cataclysm. The American
people, with the burden that has been
put upon them. with the sacrifices that
are demanded of them, are entitled 20
equality in every law, to honesty and
70 truth.
To-day I think that I echo what is
in every Senator's heart when | say
that that has not been put forth to the
American people which should be put
forth in clarion tones unto them. The
mode in which they are given their
publicity now IS here stated concretely
in a very simple illustration. Recently
a japanese mission came 20 San Fran
cisco. They arrived there on certain
day last week Four weeks ago | had
the invitation 10 attend the ceremonies
and the various entertainments IN be-
half of that mission.
For three weeks all the newspapers
Of the City of San Francisco have been
exploiting the arrival OF that mission
and that missions views and here IN
Washington and in the East, although
all California had published every De
tail we read each day AT Paclhc
port Can you tell me upon what prin-
ciple that sort of dealing should be in
dulged in with people intelligent and
critical, people patriotic and a people
self-sacr6cing?
AT a Pacific port we learn here the
japanese mission landed and then, with
the names carefully omitted, the vari-
Gus functions had in their behalf are
told US. In my Office are the san fran
cisco papers describing in detail all the
CiCnitaries who were present and all
the individuals who participated and
everything in respect 10 the matter.
at NAV be that in the peculiar and
singular sort of mentality we now and
then observe, some gentlemen in Wash
ington with a peculiar mental strabls-
mus have thought that thus by saying,
AT a Pacific port in Washington, or
in Brooklyn, or in New York, or IN
Boston, by that very token we pre-
vented any enemies there from know
ing whence this particular delegation
came or what was done in its behalf
when il reaches this nation.
Il mention this very slight example
because il is typical, and for those who
are striving with all their might, who
are going forward with all the force
thew are capable of, who are indeed
overlooking with patriotism and desire
10 serve their land, ask publicity and
truth in this war-nothing more than
that in return for their burden and in
rsturn for their sacrifices

CHAPTER XIX.
The Watcr.Curc.

Without an instant's hesitation Dave
flung himself past Rosa and through
the inner door.
Jose Sanchez met him with a shout
the shock of their collision overbore
the lighter man, and the two went
down together, arms and legs inter-
twined. The horse-breaker fired hie
revolver blindly--a dcafening cXp'o-
sion inside those four walls---but he
was poWerless against his antagonists
strength and ferocity. 1t required but
n moment for Law to master him, to
wrench the weapon from his grasp, and
then, with the aid of Jose's silk neck
Scarf. to bind his wrists tightly.
From the front of the little house
came the crash of q door violently
slammed as Rosa profited by the diver

snarling, his back to the wall, Dave re-
garded him with sinister contraction
of the lips that was almost grin.
"Well," ne said drawing Il deep
breath, 81 see you didn't go to the east
pasture this morning"
"What do You want Of me-" Jose
managed to gasp.
There was Il somewhat prolonged
silence, during which Dave continued
to stare at his prisoner with that same
dlsquleting expression. "Why did you
kill Don Eduardo?' he asked
81? Bah Who says killed him?"
Jose glared d.flancc "Why are you
looking Mt me? Come! Take me TO
Jail, If you think that will do any
good"

Dave broke in harshly: ROSA, you're

the girl only grew whittier and raised
hand to her breast. he stepped toward
her, crying, Answer me"
Rosa rccoiled, and the breath caught
In her throat like sob "Ill tell you

she began to tremble. "Why do you
want JOSEF"
you know why. He killed Don
Eduardo, and then he rode here. Come !!
I know everything"

shrill. "Out of this house! | know
you. 1t was you who betrayed Pantilo,
and his blood is on your hands, as
sassin !" With the last word she made
as if to retreat, but Dave was too
quick; he seized her, and for an in
slant they struggled breathlessly.
Dave had reasoned beforehand that
his only chance Of discovering any
thing from this girl lay in utterly ter
rorizing her and in profiting by her
first panic; therefore he pressed his
advantage. He succeeded better than
he had dared to hope
"You know who killed Senior Ed" he
cried, fiercely THE fortune-teller read
your plans. and there is no use to deny
It."
Rosa screamed again; she writhed ;
she tried to sink her teeth into her cap
tors flesh. In her body was the
strength Of full-grown man, and Dave
could hardly hold her. But suddenly
as the two scuflled, from the back room
of the house came sound which
caused Dave to release the girl rs alb
