INF Ant VICTIM
OF SUFE0CATI0N
Death Takes Two. Menths-O,d Son
Of Mr.. and Mrs. C.eve Evans
This Morning.

When Mrs. Mary Evans, s14
Third avenue, at 4 o'clock this
morning made an endeavor to find
whether her infant son, supposed
ly asleep beside her, was resting
easily, she found the little body
limp. Becoming alarmed the moth
er called for assistance, but every
effort made by parents and neigh
bors to revive life in the child
proved futile. A coroner's jury at
an inquest at tie home this morn
ing found death to have been due
to accidental suffocation.
According to Mrs. Evans the child
had had restless night. and had
been taken from its crib to lie be-
side its mother at about 8 o'clock
this morning. after which it be-
came quiet and fell asleep. 1t is
believed that bedc.othing, or the
pressure of the mothers arm
brought about its suffocation.
The infant was born March Is,
1920, in Rock Island, the son of
Mr.. and Mrs Cleve Evans. and was
christened Charles Cleve. The
parents and the grandparents, Mr.
and Mrs. Bert Evans and Mr.. and
Mrs. Melvin Bales of Iowa City
survive.
The remains were sent to Iowa
City this afternoon, and the funer-
al will be held from the home OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Bales.

Each year during the summer a

BY the pillow company to last during

the supply Of Ottawa sand is run

operation Of the foundry would be

enough on hand to last 20 days.

The Blake Speciality company is
not affected by the situation as the

Shutting of the supply of sand,

the operations of some Of the large
tri-city construction companies,
which secure these supplies from
outside sources.
Stone quarries in this vicinity
are also expected to feel the effect

new JAP PACT
NEARLY READY
Treaty to Be Presented for
Senate Consideration
Early in Session.
CAREFUL OFCALIFORNIA
'Suaging Of Nipponese Not
Likely to Trespass
States Rights.
CAREFUL OFCALIFORNIA

The new treaty between Japan
and the United States which is in
tended to salve wounded Japanese
national pride and at the same time
have due regard for the drastic
California referendum. Is In such an
advanced stage that 1t will be sent
to tho Senate early in December.
The State Department at the re-
quest of Japan is Withholding any
clarifying comment on the exact
verbiage of the treaty. 1t Is known,
however, that as a sop to the racial
sensitiveness of the Nippon country
the United States proposes the rec
ognition of the "civil rights" OF
States.
On its face this formula of Ian
guage seems to be a concession. In
fact. however,. the establishment Of
civil rights is q matter for court
construction and the news yesterday
from Japan was that the Japanese
foreign office has reluctantly yielded
to that conclusion.
Matter for Court Ruling.
1t is indicated semi-oficially at
least that after any new treaty be-
comes effective the measure of the
civil rights referred to in the treaty
must be determined in the first in
stance by the Federal and State
Courts Of California.
This situation takes the matter
back to the period when Secretary
of State Bryan intimated that a test
case could be brought in the courts
to determine the right of jap
anese to become U. s. national and
also what are his rights to land
holding leases etc, under the laws
as existing at that time.
The laws which will be enacted
by'California are to be more drastic
than ever before so that IT is be-
lieved that case will be brought
promptly to expedite the matter
finally to the Supreme Court OF the
United States.
Question of Scope.
1t was pointed out here yesterday
that If the Colby-Shidehara treaty
invested the Japanese now legally
here with civil rights and such
treaty were ratified by the Senate
the treaty would supersede the Fed
eral and local statutes as it would
be the latest enactment. 1t is as
sumed here by authorities that the
new treaty will be scrutinized min
utely by the Foreign Relations
Committee of the Senate before rec
ommending ratification. 1t is doubt
full II the new treaty will have
been considered fully before the
present administration steps down
and out and that there is not the
slightest danger that any provision
of it will be allowed to remain that
will operate against. the California
State legislation. even If modified on
all the demands OF the recent ref
erendum.

Visitors to the office frequently

No one has solved the mystery of
