Anti Japanese Program.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service
MARTINEZ, Calf, Sept. 30.-"The
real kick in the antf-Japa8ese pro-
gram adopted last night at Stockton
is found in the proposal to amend
section /, article IA, OF the federal
constitution, Senator Sharkey de-
clared to the United Press today.
Such an amendment would stop the
practice of raising Japanese children
in the United States for the purpose
of grabbing land" said Senator Shar-
key. I'VE can't stop this under
present laws"
Senator Sharkey introduced the
motion before the anti-Japanese as
sociation of California to place on
the ballot of the next state election
certain drastic anttJapanese meas
ures by means of the initiative. The
motion carried unanimously.
Japanese are now not permitted to
own property because they are not
citizens" Sharkey explained, 'but
their children born in the United
States become citizens automatically
by virtue Of this section of the con-
stitution and can own land. There
fore, the Japanese are importing
picture brides for propagation pur-
poses and through their children
born in America are grabbing our
land"

narrow escape from similar fate
He had just climbed out OF the
trench when the earth caved in and
buried his partner. Cahill saw just
where the man had been standing,
and he was able to dig in immedl'
ately and get him out When Erhart
was removed he was black in the
face and his eyes were bullying.
The attending physician said this
afternoon that the man probably sur
fered several fractured ribs and may
have other injuries. He is suffer
ing considerably from the nervous
shock, and the doctor is keeping him
quiet for a few hours before making
any further examination. His IN
1ured side has been given attention,
and it is expected later today to COM
plete the examination after the shock
has worn off.
The man was almost smothered in
the trench when the earth fell on
him. The trench is about nine feet

"New Business Octopus"
Colver Brands Modern
Alleged Food Trusts

Washington, Sept. 10.-Measurea
recommended by President Wilson
to curb combinations controlling
food and necessaries is now before
the House Judiciary Committee,
which yesterday heard further tes-
timony from members of the Fed
eral Trade Commission. Amend
ments of the Clayton antitrust law
and the creation of the Federal
Trade Commission as we'll as a dras-
tic Federal blue sky" law were
urged by William B. Colver, chair
man of the Trade Commission, and
S. H. Thompson, Jr., another men,
Der of the commission.
Mr.. Colver elaborated upon what
he termed was the new octopus IN
business, the formidable alleged
food trust of the country. He said
that big business had grown faster
than the laws to control them, un
til to-day there has arisen in this
country a combination of the meat
packers which was most powerful
through the control not only of
meat and other articles of food, but
the control by the same interests of
commodities which competed with
the products handled by the meat
packers. For instance, he said that
the meat packers controlled not
only oleomargarine, but butter,

Mexico Rebel Heads
Ask Wilson to Help
Them Restore Order

Washington, Sept. 10.-The chief
Mexico have addressed an appeal to
President Wilson and through HIM
to the people of the United States
requesting that this government aid
Mexico IN restoring law and order.
The appeal is directed against the
CarranZa government and is signed
by all those opposed to Carranza en-
cept Villa, and it is announced that
he has wired his support of the ap-
peal.
The appeal is the result of nego-
tiations that have been under Way
for some time among the various
elements which have been for the
past several years-back to 1914---
resisting the CarranZa regime in
different parts of the Mexican ter
ritory. The difficulties of commune
cation have delayed its completion
until the present.
These negotiations have disclosed
a genuine agreement among the dill
ferent parties signing the appeal,
not only the matter of the appeal
itself, but as to many points of pro-
cedure later, in the line of putting
aSlue personal am DltlOnS, at least
for the present, in face of the
urgent needs of unification and re-
construction of the country.
Charging President Carranza
with having constituted himself "ir-
responsible dictator of Mexico"
with having by his illegal and
despotic confiscation of foreign
owned properties and the murder
of many hundreds of foreign citI-
zens" brought about imminence of
American Intervention; with having
aligned himself first with radicalism
and later with the German cause
against the Allies, and with having
made Mexico prey of the most
cruel and brutal tyranny our coun-
try has had to endure in all the past
century of its efforts toward free
DOM" the appeal proposes con-
ference of all the revolutionary
factions with representatives of the
United States for the purpose of
formulating a program for recon-
struction and restoration of Mex
ico"

Retail Dealers Predict
Cut in Clothing Price

Chicago, Sept. 10. - Delegates to
the convention of the National AS
sociation of Retail Clothiers here
predicted n reduction in the price
Of clothing in the near future.
"It's got to come" said Fred
Levy, of Louisville. Unless lower
prices are on the way and we fell
lows will sing the loudest when the
change comes. Men can't be induced
to part with SIS or $50 for business
suit. The principal reason for the
present high prices is the cost of
labor.
"There is really not much profit
eering in clothes and what little
there is we intend to stop"
The opening session to-day was
attended by 500 merchants from
every state in the union. The or
ganization rendered it's assistance to
Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer
and the Senate Investigating Com
mittee in their fight against the high
cost of living.
