Scarcely daring to credit my eyes. 1

covered the cleaning gold of my
watchcase with my hand and gave the
signal-three.
The spirit of phantasy embraced
ME; and, unmoved to further surprise,
watched the unknown swarm down
the ladder with the agility of an ape.
He seemed to wear a robe, surely that
of the Yelled Prophet! He silently
manipulated one of the side panels Of
the window, opened 1t and vanished
within the harem suite.
Raising my eyes, l beheld q second
fgure-that of Abu Tabah-descend-
ing a similar ladder to the balcony of
Inspector Carlisles room. He gained

LAND GRANT TO lApS
OVER i. S. PROTEST
ORiENTALS ARE GIVEN FOOT
HOLD IN LOWER CALIFORNIA
DESPITE WARNING GIVEN BY
SENATOR PHELAN.

Mexico Cit, March 3l-CDelaycd
THAT Japanese corporation have
been granted concessions to exploit
i agricultural lands in lower California
was the statement made late today by
Gen. Amado Aguirre, under secretary
Of development and agriculture.
The affirmation was made, how
ever. that the concessions were fully
authorized by the provisions Of the
Mexican constitution regarding the
area ana position of territory in rela-
ton to the ocean shore and the from
tier line
There was nothing in the couces-
sions. j. was asserted by the under
secretary, that might possibly lead
to difficulties as far as the Monroe
Doctrine was concerned.
Legation Denies knowledge.
Report that there is "a possibility
of international controversy over the
granting Of the. concessions to the
Japanese were said to be absurd By
General Aeuirre in an interview ear
lier in the day. in which he said the
action was legal At that time he
would not admit the concession had
been granted. The Japanese legation
here denied that it had any official
knowledge of the action,
Claims Concessions Void.
In the interview. Gen, Aguirre is
quoted as follows:
1T is absurd to give credit to or
take seriously the news published to-
day that there is imminent an inter-
national conflict because Of the fact
that Japanese subjects or companies
are arranging to acquire lands in
lower California said to belong To the
& Mexican Land Company
Of Los Angeles

which were given by a concessions iii
1884 to the Mexican Land Company.
were declared the property of the pre-
government on April :.
1917 which action renders void the
concessions granted to the Mexican
Land Company. Since then the gov
nrnment has appointed a commission
TO divide these lands and sell them
To MeXicans in small lots.
Barred from Coast.
Moreover even though japanese
companies do propose to acquire. as
is alleged huge tracts of land in
lower California, they cannot beaid-
ed by our governments since the Mex
lean constitution in Article NXVIf ev-
pres ly states that no foreigner can
acquire land in a zone 100 kilometera
vide from foreign frontier, nor in
a boit fifty kilometers wide along the
shores OF the Pacific ocean or the
Gull Of Mexico.
Even though the Japanese subjects
