declared at a press conference at

shell while conversing in the palace,

Paris, Dec. 28.-Newspaper reports
received here declared that the
wound suffered by Capt. Gabrielle
d'Annunzio at Fiume was caused by
fragment of she'll which fell on
the palace where d'Annunzio has his
headquarters. A Rome dispatch
states that Premier Giolitti told a
delegation from Parliament that
Italy was forced to hasten its action
against d'Annunzio to avert an at
tack upon Fiume by Jugo-Slavia.

troops attempting to dislodge legion
naries at Zara were hindered in their

and then you can exterminate the
volunteers"
A few hours later the Jlegionaires
surrendered, and were brought to
this city as prisoners.

Fiume has asked General Caviglia,

interview arranged for today be-
tween the mayor and General Fer
rario, commander of the blockading

Washington. Dec. 2S.--A move
ment of influential sponsorship is
under way to effect compromise
OF the immigration and land owner
ship controversy with Japan on this
basis: .E..
|. Extension by California of its
recently enacted land holding law
SO as to prohibit the requirement
of title to real estate by all alienes
instead of aliens ineligible to citi-
Zenship.,
2. A revised "gentlemen's agree
ment" under which Japan would
prevent the immigration to conti-
mental United States and the Hawa-
iian islands, of all Japanese. If this
proposition meets with a favorable
reception by the people of aCifor-
mia, the legislature Of that state at
its forthcoming session will be ask
cd to amend the act adopted by mi
tiative at the November election 50
as to apply the land holding prohibi-
ton to all aliens.
The Japanese government has
indicated that it will be willing to
settle the controversy on the basis
prohibited.
Concessions on Both Sides.
Such settlement would repre-
sent concessions by both parties to
the dispute. japan would yield on
the exclusion from America of
farmers and the relatives of Japa-
nese already here, which classes
were exemptd from tn terms of the
existing gentlemen's agreement. CAL
iiornia would yield on the exclusion
OF all aliens from land holding pri-
vileges.
From the beginning of the land
ownership row in 1913, Japan has
contended that the California law
was discrimination against race,
lnasmuch as the statue prohibite
land holding. not by all aliens, but
by only those aliens ineligible to
American citizenship. Under the
American law, only white or black
person is eligible to naturalization.
Toxic indicated that ground for OBJ
lection would be removed il the
prohibition applied to all aliens, as
it does in the land holding laws Of
Illinois, Washington and some other
states and the District of Columbia,
and in Australia and New Zealand.
California Stands Pat.-s4~ ~
California, however. was unwilling
in 1918, and has continued unwilling
1y, to prohibit all aliens from ac-
curing land. The state was un-
willing to exclude the investment of
all foreign capital in the. develop
ment of its resources. TheSextent TO
which European capital has been
poured into the state is indicated by
the fact that 80 per cent of the oil
lands of California are British owned.
OF late, however, a change of
view on this question has been noted.
Some of the most active of the anti
Japanese leaders in California have
come out for the exclusion of all
aliens from land ownership.
1t was as result of this change
of attitude that the members of the
California delegation in congress
met few days ago and discussed
the proposal that they sponsor
movement for action bv the state
legislature, expanding the land hold
ing determination to apply to all
foreigners. In this conference the
argument was made that California

Judges In

Violent Verbal Argument
Marks Conference of "a
District Judges With Gov
ernor On Paroles.
Will Ask Change in Law

Violent verbal clashes between
four judges of the district court OF
Douglas county on one side and
Governor, McKelvie and H. HI. An
ties, secretary-of the State BOARD of
Public Welfare on the other. marked
banquet and conference called by
the. governor in Lincoln Monday
night.
Governor McKelvie. after hearing
the heated remarks of district Judges
against the evils of sentencing men
for crime, only to see them turned
out of the penitentiary by state Of
hcials, announced that he will rec
ommend to the next legislature the
amendment of the indeterminate SEN
tence law.
"a Judges Present.
With the law amended judges will
impose whatever sentence. within
certain limits, they believe fits each
case and will proceed to put the
fear of the law back into the hearts
of criminals and check the present
wave OF crime" They also hope to
have the present parole law amended.
District Judges Troup, Sears,
Goss and Day were present.
Twenty other district Judges from
all over the state were there,
The word battles started over the
indeterminate sentence and the pa
role activities of the state.
Given Hope.
The district judges declared that
the efforts of their courts, juries and
prosecuting attorneys in securing
convictions Of criminals were being
persistently interfered with by the
activities of the state officials in
paroling convicts.
Mr.. Antics said that all convicts
worked on road gangs were men to
whom hopes of paroles had been held
out.
"And was Ben Marshall on one of
these gangs?" asked Judge Sears.
Marshall is negro sentenced IL
years ago to 80 years imprisonment
for two assaults on Omaha women.
His impending parole was stopped
by public protest few weeks ago.
"He was" said Mr.. Antics.
Nothing to Say.
"And had you seriously intended
to parole that man in the face of
two letters ! wrote you about his
case and in the face of his crime
and convic.ion2 ?" demanded Judge
Sears.
"Yes, we had" said Mr.. Antics.
"If that is the condition of things
iii this department of our govern
,nent, I have nothing more to say.
It would be useless" said Judge
Sears.
Mr.. Antics, earlier in the meeting,
had declared that the only thing
the parole board considered in
paroling a prisoner was the posi-
bility of reformation.
Punishment Must Follow.
The judges declared that the i'll
dividual's past record should govern
his parole. They declared that the
laxity of penitentiary sentence en-
forcemen. has come to be scandal.
"The time has come" declared
Judge Troup, when an adequate
punishment must follow conviction
of crime. The building of wall
of sentimentality and unwarranted
pity around every convict must stop
if we are to check crime and make
society safe. =
"Why, At has come to pass where
criminals laugh at us. They be-
lieve that even heavy sentence
means only few months in the
penitentia-y. All they need to do
is stay on their good behavior for
a short time and appeal to the SYM
pathies of officers and make
promises. There is too much
nambypamby in the carrying out of
sentences duly imposed after fair
trials"
