ton of q test case in the United

day at the state supreme court May
20. The case is being brought before
the supreme court. to endeavor to
settle two great problems concerning
the Japanese ownership OF land,
namely, to test the anti-alien land
law which was passed by the 1921
session of the legislature, and for the
purpose Of appealing the case to the
supreme court of the United States
to determine whether the citizen
ship of Japanese holds in the own
ership Of land.
Takuji Yamashita and Charles Hio
Kono, both Of Seattle, through their
attorneys have fled writ Of manda-
mus to compel the secretary Of state
to accept and file articles of incorpor-
alton for the Japanese Real Estate
Holding company of Seattle.
Filing was refused the Japanese
by the secretary Of state on the
ground that the incorporators are
not American citizens.
Under a previous decision of the
state supreme court it is believed
that the mandamus application will
be refused at which time an appeal
can be made to the United States
supreme court to test the legality of
the case.

ed Mrs. Josephine Preston, state SUI
perintendent Of public instruction, to
send letters to every county and city
superintendent of schools in the state
asking them to interest their pupils
in making small contributions toward
buying flag for the Washington
State Fair at Yakima.
Mrs. Preston had issued these let
tiers in which she stated that having
each child contribute a few pennies
toward the fund for purchasing the
flag would be valuable lesson in
patriotism and the history of the flag
could be used at the time.
Management Entertains Children
Inasmuch as many children from
the different counties have been en-
tertained from year to year by the
state fair management, Mrs. Preston
asks that every county and city GU
perintendent should do all in their
power to interest the children in this
patriotic movement.
The state fair is able to purchase
Its own flag, but Director French
thought having the school children
buy it would be more fitting and
would give the children Of the state
an interest in the state fair.
The management intends to have
the flag raising an event of the state

to be decided was who was the first
to shoot but judging from the results
of the investigation. it appeared
probable that the Japanese sentry
took the initiative. If this was so,
the war minister continued, the only
factor remaining to be decided was
whether the sentry had sufficient
provocation to justify his action.
The unusual hour at which the
American officer appeared on the
street armed with pocket lamp
might have multiplied the POSSIBLE
tiles of a misunderstanding, Minister
Tanaka declared, and 1t was. to
throw light on these important yet
ambiguous circumstances that the
investigation was being continued.
Japan was justified in posting
sentries in Vladivostok for policing
purposes, because she was entrusted
with this important mission by the
consular body" the war minister as
serted. For faithfully discharging
the mission the Japanese troops
made no small sacrifice. The diff
Guilty under consideration has not yet
been made an international question.
The American local authorities place
confidence in the fairness with which
Japan is conducting the investigation
anu will await the result patiently"
The result of the court martial of
the sentry who KILLED Lieutenant
Langdon will be made public by the
Diet as soon as it is received.
