SIMILAR DECISIONS ON / JAP GUARDIANSHIP IN
 CALIFORNIA COURTS

VISALLA, Cal, Nov. 27 (by Associ- ated Press) The decision in Yuba county sby Judge K. S. Mahon, deny ing guardianship papers to Japan csc fathers of American born chil- dren, is almost identical with that rendered in Tulare county several months ago by Judge w. B. Allen on the application of K. Sumida.
 Tulare county's action in inaugur- ating this move against Japanese acquisition of land through purchase by American born children who are minors and the subsequent appoint mont of parents as g9ardians, is heIl in contrayention to the laws of the state and has been made the basis of action by Attorney General U. s. Webb to escheat property south of Nisalia, held by Sumida, valued at over half a million dol lars.

News of the announcement Of Col.
w. r. Crabtree for governor was
received with great interest by
members Of the Tennessee delepa-
tlon and Teresseeans In Washlng-
ton generally. The politicians re-
card Col. Crabtree as coed vote
petter. and with constructive
record TO support his candidacy,
they eoncede that he Will be =
formidable CONTENDER against Gov.
Roberts for the nomination.
Many members OF congress, while no
caring TO become publicly Involved in
a factional fight. point out that the
vigorous and bitter opposition to Rob-
erts In many sections OF the state af-
fords his opponent great strength to
start with. In many counties In tho
big democratic districts OF West Ten
nessoe Endorsements of Roberts for a
second term were specifically voted
down.
It has been many years, members OF
congress say, since democratic m
cumbent has been denied an indcrse-
ment for second term by the coun.
ties, and the bitter speeches made
against Roberts indicate the depth OF
the feeling.

any mention of the governor. In other
counties, members say, indorsement

SHIFTS BLAME
TO GEN. PALMER
Sugar Committee Charges
That He Acted Without
........ Authority
FIXED SUGAR PRICES

Washington, June 1.-The sugar in
vestigating committee, in majority
report presented to the house, declared
that Atty. Gen Palmer had used his
power as chief prosecuting officer of the
government for the purpose of fixing
maximum selling price of sugar in
louisiana and so doing acted wholly
without authority of law and in viola
tion of his own construction of his
official duty.
The report prepared by Representa-
tive Hustead (Rep., New York;, as
chairman, charged that the legalistic
method adopted by the attorney general
was wholly ineffective as a means of
price control and that ut gave ap-
parent governmental sanction to ex-
tremely high prices, which excited the
cupidity of Cuban producers and caused
an advance in the Cuban market"
Representatives Whaley, South Caro-
olina, and Summers, Texas, democratic
members of the judiciary sub commit
tee. which conducted the investigation,
refused to sign the report and an
report. Republican members Including
Chairman Hustled, who agreed in the
findings, were Representatives Classon,
Wisconsin. and Boies. Iowa.
Mr.. Palmer announced that he had
not fixed sugar prices. but had merely
stated the governments stand on prof
| teering-that Louisiana planters selling
at more than II and IS cents whole
sale would be prosecuted under the
Lever law.
