Governor VIII Not Act.

Japanese are acquiring land in Cali

lost in putting a stop to it," Senator
Phelan declares. He said
Il have more than once requested
the governor to act but he does not
seem in the slightest degree to realize
the danger. l notice he has been peti-
toned to call an extra session of the
State legislature to perfect and
strengthen the alien land laws
whose laxity have enable the jap
anese to defeat the express legis-
lative will of the State of Cali
fornia.
The duplicity Of Japan has been
exposed to the world. and her meth

now known everywhere and the Just
condemnation of the entire country.
heretofore indifferent, has been
brought down upon her head This is
now the opportune time to act.
THE governor and Ae late legisla-

japanese sensibilities. Their sensibili-
ties can no longer be used as a cloak
for their insincerity and their schemes
of Imperialism in the Pacific"

SYMPATHIzERS OF STRIKERS
 GET GUARDS
Crowd of 1000 at Tulsa Disarm Strike Breakers and Tear Up
 Tracks.

Tulsa, Okla., July 21-Armed guards, motormen and conductors on three interurban cars of the Oklaho- ma Union Railway company, were re- moved from the cars and disarmed by an angry mob of thousand strike sympathizers, eight miles west of Tulsa on the Tulsa-Sapulpa line, shortly before midnight tonight. Af- ter they were disarmed, the mob re- leased the strike-breakers.
 The company's track was torn up and the telephone posts supporting the trolley line cut down, but there was no damage done to the cars. At midnight several hundred sympath- izers of the striking carmen still were at the scenes of the stranded cars.
 The car operators went on strike several weeks ago, when the Okla homa Union railway refused to recognize their union.

Many Mines Flooded.

London, July 21.-Three mines in the Yorkshire district are flooded and twelve others are likely to be filled
 with water in a day or two, Premier Lloyd George announced today in the house of commons, as result ot pumpmen's strike. Some of the
 mines, he said, would be ruined. The government is sending men from the fleet to aid in pumping out the mines.
 Lloyd George said the last 24 hours had witnessed grave and unprecedent- ed developments in the miners strike. He said the Yorkshire miners had called out the pump men and engineers and that many mines in that district were suffering loss from the rising water and were threatened with destruction.
 At 58 mines, he said, the necessary men were at work, but that in 85 mines pumping had been stopped entirely.
 Mine officials, he added, continue the pumping at B mines after the men left.
 A dispatch to the Evening News from Sheffield today says stagger- ing blow has been struck the indus tries there by the strike. Thousands of hands were thrown out of work this morning by the stoppage of the engineering works in Sheffield, which announced that because of the short age of coal the works will remain closed, until the end of the strike Before the end of the week, it is feared all the large works will be shut down.

 Parking Zone Measure Dies. The auto parking ordinance which began life so bravel,7 at the last meet ing of the council, died at the hands of the council last night, when it was tabled after an attempt had been made to draw all the fangs out of it and still leave some semblance of ar effective law. This was found i'm possible, and the ordinance was tab led. A new one, with the fangs left off, will be brought in at the next meeting of the council.
 Charles Holmes, president of the Rotary club, as representing the Ro- tary club in regard to the parking law, requested that the law be made non-effective after 6 o'clock p. m. A delegation from the Auto Dealers association, requested that the item regarding the time which car could be parked should be eliminated, and also requested that cars be allowed to park anywhere in town IS inches from the curb, paralled to the curb, and five feet apart. The ordinance as originally drawn, prescribed that cars should not be parked anywhere between Sixth avenue and Second avenue, on Main street, and on Second avenue, between State and Chestnut streets, for longer than 30 minutes at a time.
 Tax measure on Calendar
 The ordinance. regulating the tax on clothes cleaning and pressing shops, shoe shining parlors, and hat cleaning and blocking establishments and garages and like places, was placed on the calendar.
 Just before the council went into executive session, an ordinance pro- viding that safety zones be establish ed by the company operating street railways in Pine Bluff at such places as will be designated later by the council.

HEAVY DAMAGE TO CROPS FROM
 RIVER FLOODS

Charlotte, N. C., July 21.-Damage to crops amounting probably to hun dreds of thousands of dollars has been wrought by flood waters in the valleys of the Yadkin and Cataw- ba rivers and smaller streams in the Piedmont section of the Carolinas, according to reports received here tonight.
 Other than destruction of a few public bridges over smaller streams, reports indicated little other damage. Catawba river in North Carolina and the upper reaches of the Yadkin river were reported receding today, although apparently these streams had not reached the crest in South Carolina. There was no prospect tonight of early cessation of the rains which has been daily in almost con- tinuous for the past week

Lloyd George Replies to Critics Who Oppose Bringing War
 Lord to London.
lRv The Associated Press)

 London, July 21.-Premier Lloyd George replied to his critics i'll the debate in the house of commons on the second reading of the German peace treaty and the Anglo-French convention. His recent announcement that the former German emperor would be tried before a tribunal in London had created much discussion, and several members, including Lord Robert Ce- cil, expressed doubts as to the ad- visibility of the trial being held in London. The selection of neutral country for this purpose 1t has been contended, would have been better. The premier, in answer to this, said:
 "What right have we to assume that anl neutral country could de sire to be the scene of such trial ? The allies have sufficient confidence in this country that whoever comes here for trial will receive a trial equal to the highest traditions of the British nation, and there are none higher in the world. "If war is to be abolished, it must be treated, not as an honorable game with a prospect of personal glory but as a crime. That is why we de- cided that the author of this war should be tried"
 Another matter of extreme import ance, which came up for discussion was the Irish question and to this the premier devoted considerable time with numerous interjections by Joseph Devlin, nationalist for Falls division of Belfast.

Mount Clemens, Mich., July 21.-- What with arguments of counsel, which resulted in ruling by Judge Tucker cutting off debate for and against objections, and the reading of a desposition by John Reed, maga,, zine writer, Henry Ford escaped with only one hour on the witness stand today.
 The witness, suing the Chicago Tribune for $1,00O,0o0 on a Libel charge, developed no views or ideas differing from those expressed last week.
 The manufacturer was interrogat- ed by Attorney Elliott G. Stevenson, senior counsel for the Tribune, while Attorneys Alfred Lucking and Alfred e. Murphy, maintained their accust- omed fire of objections. The elimina- tion of argument over objections was adopted as a means of speeding up the trial, the records of which now runs close to 100000 words.
