Toxic, July 2S.-The Japanese gov
eminent has received communication
fnpm the United States pointing out that
America is unable 10 recognize Japan
occupation of the northern half OF the
island of Saghalcn.
II is considered likely that Japan, after
mature delibcratIon Will forward an
answer 10 Washington IN an attempt to
clarity official opinion there and remove
any misunderstanding of Japan posi-
ton.
There arc indications that Japan is
passinr through another nervous crisis
concerning her relations with the United
States Numerous interpretations have
hecn made in the Diet about the American
attitude. While the important newspapers
are counsclhng their readers To keep cool
n Is apparcnt that a certain amount OF
apprehcnsion exists concerning the result
III the congressional inquiry IN California:
The Japanese. however. seem convinced
that IL is being conducted with the ut
most fairness and attention Is being called
70 statements that number of Amerl-
cans have come forward spontaneously to
testify IN favor Of the Japanese.
Among the incidents which have tended
to fan anti-American feeling was the
publication here of the reports that the
burning Of. Japanese stores IN Marysvllle,
Cal, was possibly the act OF antl-Japanese
elements. Articles also have been printed
declaring that Americans were engaged
IN attempts TO steal Japanese maps, and
these have resulted in Increased surveIi-
lance OF American tourists.
With regard 10 the Marysvllle affair tho
foreign office today gave out cable
message from Consul-General Ota IN ran
Francisco, stating that the fire started
july 2l IN an automobile garage owned by
an American and that three or four Japan
csc houses and stores were burned. The
consul-ceneral called attention to re-
ports that were current CHASING the case
as incendlarism due to underselllng OF
white merchants by japanese merchants
IN Msrvsville. and consequent resentment
on the part Of the former. but he added
that the police denied that this was the
fact. The consul-general concluded by
declaring:
"It is unbelievable that the case was
ono of lncendiarism connected with anti
japanese agitators."
To the consul-gcnerars message the
foreign office IN us statement adds de-
NAL that any Of its officials had made
statements To the Japanese press that
they thought the fire the work OF anti
Japanese agltat0rs.
There seems no foundation whatever for
reports OF map stealing.

stroy State rights but 10 urge legislators

If poverty is a crime. I am guilty your honor' was the humble answer given by Michael Agan when he ap- peared in police court yesterday to de- fend himself on a charge of vagrancy Agan admitted he die not work but de pended solely upon the guidance o1 God'' for his livelihood.
 T can't work for two masters, so serve only God" he explained. Ills un- kempt appearance indicated ne even failed to serve himself sufficiently to maintain a presentable appearance Long straggly locks reached down ana grappled with a, profuse and matted beard. Dreamy brown eyes looked out upon the world through thick, bristling lashes. One button struggled to hold a loosely fitting faded coat upon a pair Of slanting shoulders and a baggy pair of patched trousers were held in place by a dangerously frail thread of Sus- bender There was nothing about his makeup to indicate the apostleship he claimed
 According to the Scriptures. even the Saviour performed manual labor, Judge Thomas reminded the defendant "The Bible also says thar ak men shall be known by the sweat of their brow.

 At this point Officer Grove. who had arrested Agan, interrupted to testify the defendant was known in Phoenix as a man who refused to work and begged his meals from house to house, picking up small change on every pos sible occasion.
 He talks religion to get sympathy, ? Officer Grove asserted. But he isn't sincere. He is a fraud and his picture is in the rogue's gallery at Los An geles. I recognized it the minute saw it there last summer. I discov- cred this fellow in Phoenix nine years ago when he was working his same old beggarly graft
 That fellow didn't discover any thing exclaimed Agan indignantly. You saw me first, Judge, long before he did" The defendant reminded Judge Thomas that he had come to him about 10 years ago and borrowed fifty cents.

Visiting Blythe Delegates Are Told By Governor Campbell State Must Ex- pend Money Where Taxes Raised

Declaring that while he is in full sympathy with their mission. yet they must not look for state aid, as with the present funds available for highway construction co-operat ton from the state is impossible Governor Thomas F. Campbell yesterday afternoon gave disappointment to a delegation com posed of members of the Blythe cham. Der of commerce, members of the Auto mobile Club of Southern California and delegates of the Los Angeles board of supervisors who, with members of the Phoenix chamber of commerce, had called on the government at the state house.
 The The visitors had arrived in Phoenix the previous day for con- Terence to discuss ways and means for the building of a highway from Los Angeles to this city by the way of Blythe
 A ray of hope was held out by State Engineer Thomas AIaddock, however, who was called into the conference and said that three-f fourths of the road from Phoenix to Vickhburg would be kept in repair by the adjoining coun- ties and that the only section for

 Delegates Meet Governor.
 The delegation was introduced to Governor Campbell by President F. w. Griffen of the Phoenix chamber of commerce, after which A. E. Warming ton. secretary of the Southern Califor- nia Railway of Blythe, chief spokes- man for the delegation, set forth the reasons why the route from Los An geles to Phoenix by way of Blythe was the best and shortest way to the coast and better than the Yuma route, con meeting Phoenix with Los Angeles m two days by automobile.
 The speaker said that California was giving much attention to the building of good roads, and had perfected an organization to see what could be done by securing the cooperation of ArI- Zona He pointed out that it would take but a small amount of money and labor to make the road from Phoenix to Blythe a good automobile road anu urged its being the cheapest and near est from Arizona to the coast. He com pared the Yuma-Imperial route with the Phoenix to Los Angeles highway from every angle, and argued convinc- ingly that the Blythe road was the better, and a direct benegit to the state of Arizona
 Some of the reasons agalnSt tnc Yuma route advanced by the speaker was that such a road would be hard to maintain due to the shifting sands and that Yuma was no nearer California than Phoenix.
 Spend Where Taxes Paid.
 When he was through Governor Campbell congratulated the delegation with it's choice of spokesman. and said that MT. Warrington was a real boost CT, with imagination and vision, and a pioneer, and thanked him for the splen = did enthusiasm he had brought to bear in his advocacy of the Blythe route.
 Governor Campbell introduced State Engineer Thomas Maddock who gave the Arizona viewpoint of the question of the Phoenix Blythe route or the Yuma Imperial road.
 State highway funds are spent in conjunction with the county. he said, and that the federal fund exceeds the state fund at present. Yuma county,

 How long do you expect to stay III Phoenix?'' the judge asked.

 Then I'll have to keep you in jail while you're here" the judge decided You will have a place to sleep ana eat in jail. and that is better than go- ing from door to 6oor begging
