WAS NOT SQUARE
Murdered New York Gangster
Had Violated His Promise.
Became Victim of System He
Had Ruled.

New York, Dec. 28.-The veil of
mystery hitherto surrounding the
murder of Monk Eastman, former no
torious gangster, who was supposed
to have gone straight" after being
decorated for heroism on the battle
field of France, was partly lifted early
today with a definite announcement
by the police that he was slain in q
gang fight on his old East side stamp
ing grounds last Sunday. The police
further claimed they had trailed his
murderer thru the devious windings OF
the underworld and that they expected
to make an early arrest
Two walters and a cashier, who
were questioned at headquarters all
night, are said by the police to have
given details of the feud and to have
furnished the name of the ex-gang-
ster's assailant.
Assistant District Attorney John
Hennis declared it was established
that Monk" was shot to death in a
running fight. which started in an all
night cafe. The police have reason to
believe, they said, that some of Monk s
"old pals who had turned against him
had cornered him in the cafe. In the
general free-for-all fight that followed
-rivalling the dreaded gang feuds OF
by-gone years, in lower Third and
Fourth avenueS-MoDk had been
driven into the street and shot down
with five bullets in his body
The police investigation has dis
closed, it was said that Monk" re-
Gently had not been living ION the
square," as he had promised Governor
Smith when his citizenship rights were
restored after the world war. He is
reported to have been employed as q
"bouneer' in an East side gambling
house and to have been involved in
illegal liquor and drug traffic.
In some Of these transactions. the
police believe Monk" incurred the
enmity of some of his former asSoci-
ates in the underworld and he paid the
penalty, the same deadly penalty
monk" himself had ordered inflicted
in gang wars during the last twenty
years.

California Legislature May Pro-
hiblt All Aliens Owning Land.
Withdrawal of japanese Protest
Makes Way for Move.
JAP EXCLUSION POSTPONED
Negotiations With Senate on
Pact Awaits Inauguration.
Great Britain Thought to Have
Forced Jap Move.

Washington. Dec. 2s.-The report
that Japan had withdrawn Opposition
to the California anti-Japanese land
law took a new turn today when Rep
resentative Kahn announced he had
called a meeting of the house\ Caiifor-
mia delegation to consider widening
the. law to prohibit land holding by all
foreigners.
The meeting will be held tomorrow,
according to Kahn, who is ranking
member of the California delegation.
The meeting is considered highly sig
nificant IN the light of these two
points.
1. Application of the present anti
alien land law TO all foreigners would
automatically nullify the protest OF
Japan against the measure as discrim-
inatory to japanese, even il, Japan
continued her opposition.
=. Widening of the law would act as
a check against the large British hold
ings in California. 1t was intimated
in one authoritative quarter that the
reason for Japan's reported withdraw
al OF her protest against the law was
because Great Britain was worried
over the future Of her California oil
interests.
Great Britain Pressure.
Pressure could have been exerted
by Great Britain upon Japan to with
draw her protest.
Kahn has decided to recommend to
the California delegation extension OF
the land law. If the other members
of the delegation approve such steI
. the recommendation will be made to
: the California legislature.
California representatives in con-
gress are thoroly aroused over the
question of foreign land holding, as
precipitated by the japanese issue
They declare it is the inherent right
of California to protect her rich oil
and timber lands.

port of the Italian people. Copies of
the document were found among the
advancing forces but officers denied
their men had been affected by the

D'Annunzio's wide experience dur
ing the great war was exemplified at
Fiume in the construction of the city's
defenses. The mines destroying roads
and bridges and impeding the progress
of the regulars, the barbed wire en-
tanglements. the nests of the machine
guns and the location of shippers in
steeples were planned from his OBJ
servation over the Italian and enemy
lines.
Fiume was more of a fortress than

wreckage in the city streets added to
