We suppose that if it had been one of thc Eastern couscrvationists that had been tackled bv the brown bear that killed the young man ou Chichagof island last week thc bear would have recognized his friend and mot molcstcd him. The species of bear that killed the young man is the one that is protected in Alaska The only one who can shoot them is the sportsman who does 1t for the trophy. IT Alaskms would be allowed to make their own game laws, they would separate the ones that should be conserved and those that should bc killed. and the brown bear would bc in the latter class.

JAPANESE Town.
House Committee Continues
Study Of Conditions on
Pacific Coast
EDITOR BAREs SITUATION
Rp the Associated Press

Sacramento, Calf, July 14.-First
hand study of the japanese problem as
a exists in California was continued
today by members Of the House immi-
rration and naturalization committee,
who we're to spend the day in taking
evidence in this district, where, accord
ing to evidence heard yesterday, the
Japapese are more centralized than in
sny other portion Of the state.
Two members Of the committee who
Yesterday visited the town Of Florin, a
Japanese settlement nearby, reported at
The hearing last night they found but
two Japanese children on the street.
The visit was unannounced.
a Johp Reese, the only American mer-
chant In the town, told the committee :
men that the word had been passed
! among the Japanese to keep the chill
dren out Of sight while the committee
was in this part of the state. The two
visitors were Representatives King
swope. of Kentucky, and ]. Will Tay-
lor. Of Tennessee.
At the local office of the japanese
Association the secretary supplied the
Information that there were 1907 Jap
anese in the locality. He also offered to
turnlNH any OthNl tht III
yestigators might desire.
For tomorrow the committee plans a
tour through the neighboring communi-
ties peoplcd principally by japanese.
The committee yesterday devoted
most of its time to receiving the evi-
dence of W. s. McClatchy, publisher
OF the Sacramento Bee. who delved
deeply into figures and gave his con-
clusions on racial questions.
Mr.. McClatchy epitomized the sit
uation by saying that "75 per cent of
the 100,0 900 japanese in California are
concentrated in seven counties in the
richest agricultural section of the
state"
Continued activity by japanese in
bringing on "picture brides" was also
charged by Mr.. McClatchy. One new
plan, Mr.. McClatchy said, was that OF
bringing into the United States OF
"yoshi," or adopted children, who later
could divorce their parents here. This
made possible, he declared. ''yoshi'
becoming the ''picture bride" of hei
adopted and divorced father.

Relations Severely Strained
Relations have become strained be-
tween the Labor party leaders and rep
resentatives of the Committee of Forty
eight. At meeting at o'clock to-
night in their former convention hall the
Forty lighters will decide whether
or not the fusion convention action has
been satisfactory to their followers. The
Forty Fighters at q caucus decided to
continue their state and national organ
izations.
After the convention had been called
to order today forty minutes late the
delegates INDUCED in a free for all con =
test to select tellers to count the votes
that were expected today. This con
sumed another half hour.
The question of the manner of voting
was brought before the convention ans
an hour was spent in arguing whether
each state should be counted as repre-
senting a vote equal to the states cleo
toral vote or whether only the actual
number Of delegates in the state dele
CATION should vote. The result was that
each state should be voted as represent
ing vote equal to the states electoral
vote.
Forty Fighters" who constitute the
right wing group of the fusion move
ment. are bitterly opposed to the more
socialistic ideas of the radical labor
faction. In this stand they have the
support not only Of La Toilette, but of
several minority organizations subscrib
ing to the political combination.

SAYS CEISSLER WAS
"RUNT OF 4 GERMAN

"A red headed runt of German.
with whom my sister never could have
fallen in love, even if he were something
more than a chauffeur"
This was the description given today
Of Bernard B. Geissler. the chauffeur
who murdered Mrs. Arthur e. De Cor
dova. by the murdered woman's sister.
Mrs. Benjamin p. Crookps. Of 1876 Fifth
street, Haddon Heights. n. J.
Mrs. Crookes. widow. said her
sister was tall. beautiful woman. of
excellent character and one who would
never have returned chauffeur s
affection for her. The murdered woman
was younger than Mrs. Crookes.
"My sister could not possibly have
entertained any affection for this man.
said Mrs. Crookes. "There was nc
mutual infatuation, though perhaps the
| chauffeur was infatuated with my sister.
Such a woman as my sister was.
good looking, refined and educated. could
never have entertained any love for
Geissler, who was nothing more than a
red headed runt of German.
| II knew Geissler and always thought
him a trustworthy man. He never
showed any signs of insanity, but he
must have been insane when he did this
terrible act.
"The fact that my sister took long
automobile rides with him into the open
country can be explained in this way
She was a great nature lover and went
off in search of flowers at every oppor
tunity.
'She was not drinking woman and
I do not believe she and Geisser were
drinking in the car. The story that they
were joyriding is impossible. My sister
was not accustomed to that sort OF
thing"
Mrs. Crookes said she got letter
from Mrs. De Cordova about three weeks
ago which showed that the latter was
in unusually good health and happy.

DENIES CHARGES
Says He Is Mot Atheist, In Suit
Over Nomination

Benson, Mimi, July 14.-Hearing in
the suit contesting the nomination of the
Rev. o. J. Kvale, who won out over
Representative Volstead in the Seventh
Minnesota Congressional district at the
recent Republican primaries, was con-
cluded in district court here yesterday.
Judge Albert Johnson allowed counsel
for both sides until Friday to present
authorities for their arguments in
briefs.
After Mr.. yolstead had reiterated he
is not an atheist, as charged in the
primary campaign, the Rev. Mr.. Kvale
took the stand. He said three factors
entered into his classifying Mr.. Vol
stead as an atheist. The first was the
latter's alleged criticism of the min
ister's faith; second, he asserted Vol
stead did not state the truth in an
alleged statement that the Nonpartisan
League was composed of Socialists and
anarchists, and, third, he alleged the
congressman used vile language.

SINGLE TAX NOMINEE
RAN AGAINST SPROUL
Robert c. Macauley, Like Hard
ing and Cox a Former News
paperman, Is Philadelphian

Meet Robert g. Macauley. of this
city, candidate for President OF the
United States.
Macauley, who lives at 2416 West
Cumberland street, Is the nominee OF
the Single Tax party. He was chosen
yesterday ut Chicago with an Ohio man
as running mate.
The new Single Tax chieftain, who
advocates taxation on land alone, Is
no novice in the political game. He
was q candidate for Governor of Penn
ssylvania in 1913 and ran for Un,tec
states senator two years earlier.
In his campaign for Governor, Ma
caulcy garnered 1917 votes throughout
PENNSYLVANIA. This city gave him 145
votes, including four from soldiers. His
up total OF five, Of which three came
from his home division. Governor
Sprouts state total was 500, ,537.

Macauley has been familiar figure
at the Armchair Club" In the Mayors

true devotion to the cause championed
by Henry George, he was always ready
to argue out the merits of single tax
The conversation might start with base

Invariably Macauley switched 1t to thu

and purposes an enlarged Labor party
convention The labor leaders went
right on with their program, as IL they
were just continuing the work OF the
day before passing resolutions, reported
by the Labor party's committee on res :
olutions. which the Forty eight dele
gates had never seen. The Labor party
simply swallowed up the Forty EIGHT.
The explanation OF this Is that the
| labor forces are the only forces here
which are organized, and which have a
definite purpose. Record and Pinchot
wanted to found liberal party. But to
do so they brought together not liberals
but a lot Of radicals over whom they
had no control.
The Labor party, on the other hand,
Is one of the best disciplined and best
controlled organizations In the field. The
organized movement absorbed the un-
organized movement, leaving Record,
Pinchot and their associates utterly
alone.
|, The knowledge that La Toilette would
not run upon their platform was O
hard blow to the labor leaders. who
dreaded to face the united convention
with this information. For this rea .
son they delayed the convention last
night and sought to adjust their plat
form TO La Follette's views. But they
have an aim which is utterly incon
sistent with the aims Of La Toilette and
Of the Forty eight organizers. This Is
to create Labor party like the British
Labor party. .....
Building for Future
When the leaders of the Forty eight
protested that the labor leaders here
were wrecking the prospects of thirc
party which would appeal widely to lib
erals through the country they an
swered that they were building fol. th'
future. Many Of them care nothing
about success this time.
, Internal American Federation OF La
Dor politics influence them. They feel tina
they can fight President Samuel Com
pers effectively only through the estab.
lishment of Labor party and through
the conversion of the labor movemen
in this country into a political move
ment. Merely to associate themselve'
with liberal party would not accom-
plish this purpose.
For this reason they have insisted
upon the name Labor" for the thirt
party, and they have insisted upon I
radical program in order to attract int
the independent political movement o
! labor the powerful railroad brother
hoods and the United Mine Workers.
The present indications are that tn
third party movement will not be i'm
portant. To have cut figure in tn
campaign it had to attract the supper
of the Nonpartisan League, of tn
Hearst newspapers and of the railroa
brotherhoods and the United Mine Work
! ers. All Of these forces might hav
. been united in movement which prom
E ised some measure Of success, but non
of them likely to attach themselve
, to one which. in the language Of it's owl
friends. is merely building for the fu
5 ture. They are all likely to look upor
straight class party with the sam
$ cold eye that La Toilette himself does.
