ALIENS CANNOT
 OWN PROPERTY
 IN WASHINGTON
Federal Court Says Anti Alien Land Law Is
 Constitutional. UNDERSTOOD CASE
 WILL BE APPEALED Point Raised in Arguments that Law Is Aimed
 Against Japanese.

TACOMA, July 26.-The Federal Court today upheld the constitution ality of the states anti-alien land law. It is understood the case will be appealed
 Constitutionality of Washington states anti-alien land law was at tackled in the Federal Court here in June by Frank Terrace, white land owner of the White River Valley, near here. The case was heard by Circuit Judge w. B. Gilbert of Port land and District Judges E. E. Cush' man of Tacoma and Jeremiah J. Net erer of Seattle.
 Attorneys for MT. Terrace attacked in particular a section of the law making it a gross misdemeanor to sell or lease land to an alien, and asked for a federal injunction against Attorney General l.. L.. Thompson to prevent him from en- forcing the statute. They argued that the state law Is in contraven, tion of the treaty between the Unit ed States and Japan and that it vio- lates the 14th amendment to the constitution in that it discriminates against Orientals on account of their color.
 Stress was laid on the fact that the law is aimed solely at Japanese because the statute contains a pro- vision that an alien can buy or lease land providing "he has in good faith declared his intention to become citizen of the United States. Coun sel for MT. Terrace pointed out that Orientals alone are not permitted to declare their intentions and there fore the statute is intended solely to curb them.
 Attorney General Thompson, con ducting the case for the state at the time of the arguments, denied that the state law violates the treaty with Japan. He said the treaty is solely concerned with commerce and navigation, declared that foreigner is not allowed to own farm lands in Japan and denied that the law vio- lates the federal constitution.
 The anti-alen land bill was passed by the last Washington legislature to give effect to a provision in the state constitution that prohibits alien ownership of land. Under the law. aliens, except those who have de- clared their intentions to become naturalized are prohibited from own ing or leasing any lands in the state, except mineral lands and lands for manufacturing plants. In addi- tion, holding companies possessing lands for aliens are made illegal and aliens inheriting lands are ordered to dispose of them within seven years. Lands illegally held under title or lease are forfeited to the state, under the terms of the law.
 In addition to the provisions ap- plying to aliens, any person who sells or leases land to an alien, who holds in trust lands for an alien or who abets a violation of the law, shall upon conviction be guilty of a gross misdemeanor.
 It is expected the case will go to the United States Supreme Court for a final decision.

were reVerSeS 10 the spanish IoTCes in Morocco, numbered more thar 5000 men. These forces are equipped with modern guns, munitions and use scientific tactics, according to re ports received here.
 MELILLA, Morocco July 26.-Per sonal narratives of participants 1T the disaster or Mount Abarran an( Tensaman indicate that the lack o precaution of the officers in charge of the operation was responsible fol much of the damage done to Spanish prestige
 On July 2, according to eye-wit nesses, Mount Abarran was occupied by Spanish troops without the slight est resistance. It is position GOV cred with the thickest kind of vege tation, among which large numbers of men could find cover. No at tempt was made to reconnoiter the ground after the camping place had been chosen, but attachments of men were told to lay barbed-wire around the camp while all the off cers sat down to a meal.
 A short time afterward the sur rounding brush appeared absolutely thick with Moors, who opened fire on the group of officers, then pene trated the encampment, where they were joined by the mutinous 18th na,,,napu of pativa nO1ipa
 Numerous acts of bravery were done by both Spanish and faithful native troops, but the surprise was so sudden that it was impossible for the garrison to save the guns, which were carried off by the Moors. Then both Spanish and native troops fled precipitately, abandoning rifles, bay onets and baggage.
 The casualties killed wounded and prisoners-numbered over 300 and, if the landing detach ment of a warship and forces from Cerinola and Melilla had not inter vened to support the fleeing garri son. it is possible the Spanish would have lost both Sidi-Dris and Tensa man.
 The Moors apparently were acting under the guidance of foreign in structors, for their tactics were quite modern. Information has since come in that their ranks are strengthened by deserters from both the Spanish and French armies.

The Story of
Our States
By JONATHAN BRACE
xyI.-TENNEssEE
- THE history
@M&QM j Of Tennes-
NA2& TM see stretches
EMhicof6Tf3 back to the
H nv Ia year 1541
Va Nhk A when De Soto
WSSso6zeT@ with his par
ME- ty of Spanish
adve1turers probably reached
the present site Of Memphis on
the Mississippi. The French
under La Sale built a fort here
about 1882. The English also
laid claim to this territory, In
Guiding it in the grant to North
Carolina. 1t was not until ITO
that the first permanent settle
ment was made by James Rob-
ertson and this was soon fol-
lowed by many other settlers
from North Carolina. They
formed what they called the
Washington district, but this
was short lived as 1t was
. promptly annexed to North
Carolina. In 1884 the iahabi-
tants, Indignant over North Car
olina's attitude toward them,
declared their independence. and
formed the State of Franklin
or FARMLAND. As this seces-
sion was not countenanced by
North Carolina, for o number
Of years a state of confusion
existed with two sets Of officers
trying to govern. Meanwhile
the settlement suffered severely
from hostile Indians and from
the Spanish, who still held Lou
isiana, and controlled the Mis-
slssippi river. In 1870 North
Carolina finally coded this ter
ritory to the United States. By
1876 the population had In
creased to over 10000. so Ten
nessee was admitted as the six
teenth state of the Union.
At the outbreak Of the Civil
war, Tennessee joined the Con-
federacy. In 1866, when the
state was eeadmitted to the Un-
ion, there was much disorder
during the reconstruction period.
This led to the formation of the
Ku Klux Khan, the influence Of
which quickly spread through
out the Southern states. This
secret organization took into
its own hands tAe. suppress
sion of crime and the admin
istration of justice.
Tennessee contains 42,O22
square miles, and is sometimes
called the Volunteer state. 1t
is named after its principal riv-
err, which is a Cherokee word
meaning Crooked River"s or
"S'ar1 in the river"
