RUSSELL GIRLS HOME
CONTINUES TO HOLD
SOLONS' ATTENTION

tendants, 1t is said that Clymer pre-
scribed more than one kind of mcdi-
cine for the inmates treatment, but
the same instruments were used on
all. The only pretenSe at steriliza-
ton of these instruments was to
"slosh' them around in a bowl OF
tepid water and wipe them upon a
common towel. The children
nurSes-doctors knew no better and
in the opinion Of the senator fol
lowed explicitly the home p3ysi-
clans instructions.
Miss Winiired Flaherty, matron
OF the home, has found her way to
the first pages OF the capital city
newspapers in a statement in her
own defense. 1t is principally that
she was doing the best she could in
view OF the funds and accoomoda-
tions at her disposal and this is no
doubt true, but the same criticism
applies to W. d. Mathews state
commissioner OF charities and cor
recGons, who may face impeachment
proceedings as a result of the in
vcstigation. Many members feel
that the maUon, her assistants,
Matthews and every one else who
have had anything to do with the
conduct OF the home should have
seen that the conditions there were

mo conference committee can
bring about these results, because no

absolute control which few particu-

essential that the packers be divorced
from ownership and control of the
stockyards and that the refrigerator

absolutely at the service of all ship

London, March 31.-The CORE
spondent of the London Daily Tele-
graph at Warsaw, under date of Tues
day night, declares, it is stated, that in
the town of Choclma the republic of
Bessarabia has been proclaimed. The
directorate has issued a proclamation
that its first act of liberation has
been to free Bessarabia from the Ru-
manian yoke. IT is evident that the
movement is engineered by the Boil
sheyiks, and is supported by the
Ukranians. Their aim is to break
through Rulnania and thus to esiab-
lish direct contact between Moscow
and Budapest.
The correspondent adds that ac-
cording to news received in Warsaw
the allied mission was interned by
German authorities in Danzig last
Sunday. This gross insult to the en-
tente powers is attributed here to the
revolution in Hungary, which has ex-
cited the Germans. This news, how
ever, still requires confirmation.

Los Angeles, Calf, March 3l.-The
owners of the California Mexico Land
and Cattle company's property in
Lower California still adhere to a
declaration made to the state depart
ment in 1917 that they will not "un-
der any circumstances make any
lease of any Kind TO Japanese, where
colonization is probable until we are
first authoritatiyely informed that
such an arrangement will be entirely

This was announced here today by

extract from a letter written by me- as
president of the company and con-
CURED in by tho stockholders of that
company, dated February %, 1917, to
the department of state at Washing
ton.
While my company is anxious to
secure these reliable tenants, amply
financed, to help develop our prop

American citizens and do not wish to
make any move which could IN any
way prejudice question which al
ways appears to be subject for agi-
tation between the two countries. We
will not, under the circumstances,
consider making any lease of this kind
to Japanese, whore colonization Is
probable, until we are first author
itatvely informed that such arrange
ment will be agreeable to the gov
ernment of our own country We be-
ieve that most of the Japanese labor
for this enterprise will come from the
Pacific coast states and thus relieve
to some extent the pressure of this
class of people now in the United
States and will be an advantage rath-
cr than a disadvantage.

having this matter thoroughly thresh-
cd out in advance.
Says Mexican In EIrer.
81 desire to call attention to an
error in the statement made by the
Mexican assistant secretary of Fo-
menta, General Amado Aguirre, as
reported insthe Associated Press dis
patches dated March 20 to the effect
that the California Mexico Land and
Cattle co4tpany's titles came through
a eoneessioh from the former Mexican
government. Neither the California;
Mexico Land and Cattle company
nor it's grantors ever asked for or re-
ceived any concessions for any portion
of the lands held by our company
from the government of Mexico.
1.-THE lands our company owns and
controls were acquired by direct pur-
chase for cash at the full price asked
from the Mexican government and no
concessions of any kind were ever
asked for or received IN connection
with the purchase of our landed
property. ,
1.-THE reference ty the Mexican Of
fetal to special concessions made in
connection with the sale of these
lands must refer to lands adjoining
ours which were secured by an Amer
lean syndicate headed by J. p. Nor
gan at about the time our lands were
purchased from the Mexican govern
ment. Their titles were secured
through concession which provides for
special colonization efforts on the part
of the purchasing syndicate.
Pastor RouiX. secretary of the
Mexican Fomento, visited Lower Cal
ifornia year ago and representative
of our company offered to convey to
Mexican Colonists at any reasonable
price which could be mutually agreed
upon, such acreage as might be re-
qlUred for Mexican colonization and
so far as we know very satisfactory
understanding exists between our
selves and the Mexican governments
department of Fomento GnterioT)
1T is fair to say that the japanese
who were negotiating for a lease at
that time took precisely the same
stand, as prospective tenant, that the
owners Of the land took, towit That
they did not desire to consummate the
lease unlessyit was perfectly agreeable
to the officials of our state depart
ment."
The property of the California Mex
leo Land and Cattle, company known
as the C. M. Ranch, comprises $50, 900
acres running from the international
boundary to the Gulf of California. 1t
was originally $4,000 acres, but 3d.
900 acres was sold to John Cudahy
about seven years ago. The tract
comprises the Mexican portion of the
Imperial valley.
