CRy Associated Press)

SAN FRANCISCO, July r. The
Japanese immigration situation in Cal
ifornia which at least three times has
prompted international negotiations
resulting from the states efforts to
control it, crystallized here today in a
hearing before the house immigration
and naturalization committee, in which
both opponents and proponents We're
heard.
Tomorrow the hearing will adjourn
to Sacramento, where tour of the
japanese colonies is likely before the
hearing is concluded. Senator Phelan
today presented facts and figures to
back what he termed an encroachment
Of the japanese upon agricultural
interests in California, which it is
said is threatening the white sover-
eighty OF the state.
The Modicoland Cattle Company
was about to sell 100000 acres of their
land to Japanese interests year ago,
but We're stopped because Some of
the directors were more patriotic
than Others" Phelan said He ac-
cused the Japanese consul at Los
Angeles of conniving to smuggle
Japanese into this country.

(By Associated Press)

MADRID, July l2.-Former Prin-
cess Eagenie of France who died here
today was i'll only a few hours before
her death. She was exceptionally well
Saturday morning and at midday
lunched heartily. A short time later
she became ill. The empress seemed
conscious that death was approaching
!and those who stayed by the bedside
say she appeared glad to die in Spain,
her native land.
One Of the most interesting and pa
'thetic figures in modern history has
passed from life in the person Of
former French Empress Eugene, con-
sort of the late Napoleon LII. Drawn
from comparative Obscurity, to stand
for years in the fierce light that beats
about a throne, this once beautiful
and talented woman for a generation
nearly was the Most admired and hon
ored Of her sex, the brightest jewel Of
a parvenu dynasty, and, during her
husbands reign, the absolute and un-
challenged arbiter of feminine fashion
the world over. She lived to see the
empire Of which she had been the
greatest ornament collapse in defeat
and humiliation, to be compelled to
flee from its wreck in fear Of her life :
her lord prisoner of war and soon to
die in exile, and to lose her only son
and child by the spears of savages Of
Zululand. All these things she sur.
vived for long years of unhappy soli-
tude and regret, yet with dignity and
patience that have won her the sim
cere respect and sympathy of nations
which, in the time of her grandeur and
power, were wont to be critical of her
social and political conduct and in
fluence.
