WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-Costa Ri ca's deposed president, Alfredo Con- gales, was assured by Secretary Lan- sing today that the United States would not recognize the government set up by General Tinoco, the former war minister, who executed a blood less coup several weeks ago that sent the president to the American lega- tion for refuge.
 MT. Gonzales had just arrived in Washington accompanied by Castro Quesada, minister to the United States, who happened to be at home when the government was over thrown. He called at the state depart ment to tell of his difficulties and ex- poets to see President Wilson later Secretary Lansing told him the Unit ed States did not accord recognition to governments deriving their power through revolt against constituted au- thorities and that General Tinoco could not expect to obtain rec ognition even by having himself elect ed. Congressional elections have been called for some time in April after which it is believed an election for. president will be held. .F
 Minister Quesada is still in chargei of the legation here, although the Un- ited States necessarily is dealing with the Tinoco regime as de facto gov ernment.

1. W. W. INVASION IS
 FEARED BY PEOPLE
 OF JEROME DISTRICT
Council of Mining Town Is Contemplating Measures 10 Rid Camp of an Undesir- able Element.
Especial to the Review)

JEROME, Ariz., Feb. 19.-The city council, confronting an l. w. w. in- vasion which is already we'll under way, has ordered a general cleaning up of vagrants. Marshal Lyons is to put the order into effect at once and has been authorized to increase his force to whatever extent he may deem necessary. Road camps and rock piles are to be provided to take care of those arrested and given sen tences.
 The situation is the outgrowth of gathering here of many of the l. w. W's. who infested the Ajo mining dis trict in December and January H.s the number of these men has increas- ed about Jerome, meetings have been started and a condition of disorder similar to that experienced in Ajo is threatened.
 The authorities after considering the increasing number of idle men of bad repute about the town, all gath cred from outside points within the last thirty days, decided to take the situation in hand determinedly and remove the menace to the high activi- ty which has prevailed in association with mining and development work, and the large prosperity that is en- joyed in the business community, be- fore these might be interrupted.
 The fact that large majority of the miners here have investments in both producing and developing con- panies in the district and that the ac- quirements of additional money for developing concerns would be halted by l. w. w. trouble in the camp. to- gether with the fact that there is gen. eral satisfaction with wage and other conditions here, serves to align the home elements of every class solidly against the invasion of non-workers for trouble making purposes. There have recently been threats among the mners and business men that if the authorities did not take matters in hand and clean up, they would. Such outbreak will be averted by the course the officers have been ordered to pursue.

ANTI-JAP BILL IS
 KILLED IN IDAHO
(By Review Leased Wire)

BOISE, Idaho, FeD. 1y.-An anti alien land bill, which was killed by the state senate February 3, as the re suit of protests by the Japanese em- bassy to the state department at Washington, was reintroduced in the senate late today.
 The bill, which had passed the low CT house, was killed by the senate from patriotic motives. It was rein troduced today as the result of charg- es made in affidavits filed at Wash ington with the state department that the Japanese embassy's protest had not resulted from orders from Tokio, but from the activities of an Idaho at torney, c. M. Booth, who was quoted by the affidavits as having said he had brought pressure to bear on the embassy and the state department through a Washington attorney.
 Booth denied the charges, saying the statements were false and absurd. He has been subjoenaed to appear be- fore the senate or senate committee Wednesday. He admitted, it was said, that he transmitted the sub: stance of the anti-alien bill to Wash inston.
 Booth declared that certain sinis- ter influences are at work to embroil the United States with Japan over the Idaho anti-alien land law in order to distract attention from the submarine issue with Germany"

NATIVES LOOTED SHIP
DRIVEN IN BY A U BOAT
Battle Between Crew and Beach
Combers, During Which One
of Latter Was Killed.

New York.-Driven by pitiless tigers
of the sea" into the clutches of equally
pitiless human tigers lurking along the
beaches of northern Spain was the
fate of the officers and crew of the
schooner Phineas W. Sprague, the cap
tain and chief officer of which YES
sci arrived in ali American port on
board a passenger liner from Cadiz.
According to Captain f. A. Jarvis,
the Sprague was pursued by German
U boat while coasting through the bay
of Biscay and was forced to seek ref
uge inside the three mile limit. There
the vessel was caught by treacher-
Gus current and thrown on the beach
near Carbonares, Spain.
No sooner did the residents of that
part of King Alfonso's domain see that
the schooner was helpless, declares the
captain, than they boarded the vessel
in droves and commenced to loot her.
A battle between the crew of the
schooner and the beach combers en-
sued, during which one of the latter
was killed. The Sprague was total
loss.
On board the same vessel which
brought Captain Jarvis and his chief
officer back to this country were
several other survivors of submarine
disasters, including Captain Phillip II.
Johnson and twenty-one men of the
steamship Zward and five men from
the schooner Edwin r. Hunt, both of
which were destroyed by U boats.

FARM HANDS GET $45
A MONTH, WITH BOARD
That's In South Dakota, Where Bump
err Crops Are Predicted.

Sioux Falls, S. D.-Because of q
shortage of farm hands it has become
necessary in many parts of South Da-
kota for the women and boys of the
households and even the girls to work
In the fields. So the farmers and their
wives and children are hard at work
putting In what is believed to be the
greatest acreage of spring wheat in the
history of the state.
With the prospect that prices for
foodstuffs will continue high during
the war the farmers have decided to in
crease their crop acreage. With ia
vorable season South Dakota will pro-
duce this year the greatest crop of
foodstuffs in its history. The residents
of towns are preparing to have larger
vegetable gardens than ever before, 80
there Is every indication that the state
will make a new record in crop pro-
duction this year.
Farm hands ready for work demand
from $50 to $45 a month and board,
and in many instances the farmers pay
these prices. Only a few years ago
good farm hands could be had from
$12 to $50 a month and board, and
those who received the higher figure
were the envied of their fellows.

There was a crash that could be

impact of projectile from a great gun
against fort.
Residents were startled by the pas
sage of the mighty streak of blue-white
fire through the darkness and again by
the loud explosion that followed con-
tact with the granite range which
stopped 1t. Then followed tumbling
of dislodged stones not far from the
