IL further declares that a Japanese can not acquire or hold stock in any corporation owning farm land, nor may he act as guardian for his Amer ican-born children where the control ol land is involved.

 No important developments are eX- pected before the new administration goes in, as both sides anticipate long drawn-out negotiations before an agreement satisfactory to both sides can be reached: and President Will son and Secretary of State Colby. America's chief diplomatists, have only few more days in office. 1 Both Japanese. here and Californi- ans are of the opinion that time will actually be gained by waiting until the Harding regime assumes control of the government for two main req sons
 One is negotiations could proceed no more than half way al best before the change in administrations. and the whole work would necessarily have to be retraced for the benefit of the new president and his secretary oi state. who, incidentally. might have an entirely different idea of the kind of policy the United States should pursue.

BY WILLIAM PHILIP SlMMS Written for The Newspaper Enter
 prise Association.


 SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 11.-Japan, l am definitely informed, is prepared to go to the mat with the United States over the question of the status Q. her subjects residing in this coun. try and as an opening gun has already registered a very sharp protest at Washington against California's anti Japanese land measure. The island empire is waiting only for the fourth of March and the in stallation of the new administration to press the matter. according to my informant, who is in close touch with the national capital. It was not deemed proper to divulge the precise nature of the protest at this time as the United States government is about to change hands and both sides are represented as feeling it would be best to wait until the new regime can take seat.
 Chafes at Delay
 JaSan, however, apparently deemed | it unwise to allow too long time to elapse before protesting against the initiative measure adopted by Califor mia on November ? and which inhibitS land-owning or leasing by Japanese or otherwise controlling it.
 According to Gov. William D. Ste phens, of California, the Japanese op crate 45S956 acres of the best lands in the state, producing a crop wortf S67,145.730.
 Between so and 90 per cent of Cali fornia's vegetable and berry pro ducts, according to the same author ijy. are grown on Japanese farms.
 The Japanese population of Calif ornia, according to official returns o the fourteenth census. was 7O.7O7 i The state census put the figures a S3,0O0.

JUDGE GIVES LIMIT
 IN WHISKY CASE
Negro Fined $500 and Given Jail Sentence By Judge
 Abernethy

Another step in the fight against the poisoned whisky sold in Birming- ham was made yesterday by Judge H. B. Abernethy of the Jefferson county court of misdemes ors when he sen fenced Horace By P, negro, to d year of hard labor fathe county roads, in addition to giving him a fine of $500 for selling liquor which he deemed contained poison
 Deputies w W. Wilson and J. E. Matlock. who arrested the negro in possession of the liquor at his home near Helen Best several days ago, stated in court that they believed the liquor had been made in empty carbide cans, which they stated the negro brought home with him from the mines.
 After hearing all the evidence and n statement from the negro, Judge Abernethy picked up one of the bottles of the liquor and, after looking at it for few moments, turned and looked straight at the negro and said:
 T haven't had any chemical test made of this liquor, but I don't think that any is necessary. It looks like rank poison to me and I fine you $50c and sentence you to 12 months at hard labor on the county roads,"

FIRST ARREST UNDER
 NEW DOG ORDINANCE
Unmuzzled Dog Killed and the Owner Is Arrested for vio-
 lation of Ordinance

Charged with violating provisions of the new dog ordinance, Jack Watson, u27 Sixth avenue, south. was arrested yes- terday morning, marking the first ar rest under the new measure His case was set in recorders court for this aft ernoon at 80 o'clock.
 Watson was one of two dog owners whose unmuzzled animals were caught by the dog wagon Monday and killed yesterday Tags taken from the canine S necks were traced back to the owners. One of the men has loft Birmingham. Violation of the ordinance is punishable by fine of not more than s1OO and not more than 1S0 days in jail.
 Health department officials declared yesterday they were inclined toward the belief the dog wagon was not attempting to catch unmuzzled dogs unless they carried no 1921 license tags. This state- ment was made after it had been pointed cut that only five owners of dogs had asked the poundkeeper to hold their dogs for them. These figures are based on 15S animals impounded and electrocuted since March 22, the beginning of the present campaign.
 Fifteen dogs were brought in by the wagon Monday Only two of these wore tags. one of them being a 1920 license.
 Owners of two other dogs which were caught and killed because they had no are still being sought by the health department and the police.

WHAT THEY SAY
By BILL THOMPSON

The question was: What do you think of the Own Your Own Home exposition in the Chamber of Com- merce building?"
 Where asked: Here and there about town.
 The answers were:
 Dr. B. 0. Robertson, Empire building: T think it is a most ex- cellent exhibit. The Authorities should see to it that the school children are allowed to view it in a body. as it has much educational value"
 E. H. Barnhart. assistant man. ager Loew's Bioju: Whether a person intends to own his own home at the present time or not the exhibits are interesting. I think the Estes Lumber company should be congratulated for bring ing such an interesting exhibit be- fore the attention of the public"
 Judge Henry J. Martin, police court recorder: The Own Your Own Home exhibits tend for bet ter citizenship. for better citizen ship comes when the people have homes that they can call their own. The nation whose people do not drift about is a country that will stand. It is the same with a community. for communiey of home owners is I progressive com- munity-"

PARTIAL SOLUTION . .0F Z0N|NG PROBLEM
New Ordinance Provides En- tire Commission to Pass
 on Application

Partial solution of Birmingham zon- ing problem was attempted yesterday when an ordinance was passed reqpir- ing the commission to act on applica- tions for kiilding permits to allow construction of store buildings in localities where a majority of the houses are residences.
 The new ordinance provides that the commissioners must view the location, consider the character and type of the building to be erected after the build ing inspector refers the application to the board. t
 Permission to move store build ing on Tuscaloosa avenue, West End, to a location nearer the street was denied by the commission. J. E. Spencer, city building inspector, op- posed granting the petition on the ground that it was an injustice to resi- dents of the neighborhood. Moving forward of the store would shut off their view, he said.
 Erection of store building just across from Redwood park at the corner of Zane street and Bush boule- yard will be authorized by the city following granting of petition ask ing permit.
