TRADE WAR WITH AMERICA

Osaka, Japan-The Chamber of
Commerce has adopted a resolution de-
claring the American shipping law to
be economic Imperialism under which
foreign steamers, and especially jan
aaese, are treated unfairly. The reso.
luton says the law is tantamount to a
proclamation of economic war on
Japan. Members of the Chamber also
showed resentment over newspaper
criticism of Japanese immigration.

North Dakota Law Best.

According to the observations OF
Emile r. Watson, foremost liability
insurance actuary in the country, the
North Dakota workmen's compensa.
ton law pays far larger benefits than
the laws of any Of the remaining Al
states which have workmen's compen.
sation insurance. The North Dakota
fund pays twice as much as the Mon.
tana fund, 65 per cent more than the
South Dakota fund and As per cent
more than the Minnesota fund, anC
proportionately more than all the
other funds in existence.

United States To Demand Extra
dition Of Bandit For Murder
Of Americans.
"PRECEDENTS SOUGHT
killing Of. Citizens Of This Country
During Raid On Columbus Is Basis
of Demand-Villa Denies
Participation.

Observation-Disclosures Of the Uni
ted States government are looking; up
presidents preparatory to a demand
for the extradition of Francisco Villa,
indicted for murder under the laws of
New Mexico in connection with the
raid of Columbus.
No promises of indemnity for Villa
have been made by this government
and his submission to the Mexican
authorities does not alter the attitude
Of this government towards him. The
Indictment stands and under the ak
tradition treaties between this govern
traditable crime.
While no official confirmation of the
unconditional surrender of Villa had
been received here, either by the State
department or the Mexican embassy,
representing the De la Huerta govern
ment at Sabinas, Is accepted as a fact.
h surrender of Villa is in keeping
with the advice his friends connected
with the De la Huerta government
have been giving him, Villa probably
having submitted" rather than sur
rendered."
To Plead Innocence.
1t is understood that Villa is pre-
pared to make a strong plea in defense
OF his claim that he did not partici-
pate in the Columbus raid, a claim
that has been stoutly maintained by
his representatives here. But the in
dictment for murder stands against
him, in connection with a crime for
which four Mexicans have already
been executed by New Mexican author
tiles. 1t is understood these victims
of the law claimed that Villa was their
leader.
Still another account stands against
Villa in connection with the killing of
the Englishman Benton who was re-
ported shot down by Villa in cold
blood. That o~ffense, however, was
committed OF Mexican soil, while the
Columbus murders were committed on
American soil.
The situation offers a keenly embar-
RAISING situation for both the Amer
can government and that of the new
Mexican regime.
