UCH|DA DENOUCES
CALIFORNIA LAW
japanese Foreign Minister Calls
Act Unjust and Discriminatory.
IN SPEECH BEFORE THE DIET
But Says He Is Convinced That ReIa-
tions Between Japan and U. S.
Are as Cordial as Ever
Hopes for Best.

Washington, Jan. 24-The Califor-
mia alien land law was denounced as
unjust and discriminatory" by Wis
count Uchida, minister for foreign af-
fairs, before the Japanese diet here.
The text Of his speech was made pub
lie by the japanese embassy here.
After declaring he was convinced
that the relations between japan
and America are as cordial as ever"
Viscount Uchida added:
II have to dwell here on the unfOr-
tunate event which has occurred in
Last November the state of California
passed, through initiative, the alien
land law. In word the new land law
is a cognate law of 1913, made more
drastic and severe.
Calls Law Unjust.
"That it aims at Japanese and is
unjust, ana discriminatory cannot be
denied. Regret which the Japanese
government expressed at the legisla-
ton of 1918 is therefore still more
keenly felt by them at this new leg;s-
latiOR. The difficulty arising between
Japan and America from legislation
of 1913 has unfortunately remained
unsettled to this day. The present
question has therefore been engaging
the most careful attention of the Jap
anese government They have ap-
preached the problem from the higher
standpoint of Japanese American
friendship and with full regard to the
close and important relations of COM
mon interests between the two nations
and they have placed supreme i'm
portance upon a prompt and satisfac-
tory solution of the difficulty caused
by the unfortunate movement in Cali
fOrnia They have authorized their
representative in Washington to dis
cuss the whole situation with the State
department and a frank and free eX-
change of views has been proceeding
on various points >involved in the ques-
ton.
Premier Haran Speaks.
ut is to be regretted that we are
not yet in a position to publish the
results of these discussions, but we
confidently trust that an adjustment
compatible with the honor and inter
ests of both countries may be finally
arrived it."
Premier Haran referring to the
same question, stated:
Exchange of views is now in
progress in a most friendly spirit for
an amicable adjustment, and the gov
eminent is confidently looking for
ward to a satisfactory settlement

MINE ASSESSMENT BILL GIVES RELIEF

Whatever was the cause of President Wilson's with holding his signature from the passed by congress tending the for doing mine work for the year 1920 the fact that the bill signed in time those for whose relief it intended relieved anxiety ill this part of the west that beginning border desperation Many ot the mine owners had completed their work. but many others had been looking the relief provided by the bill and had completed their work thus leaving their claims subject to relocation after midnight of December 3l. The efforts exeted by Senator Ashrst have the bill signed shows that the senator is the job properly when serving the people of Arizona
 Owners of mining claims have not been relieved of the 1920 work the time for its completion has only been extended to July l. 1921 and to have this
 lief it is necessary file their intention thus complete their obligation to the government.
 The annual assessment work mining claims amounts work usual to hundred dollars and is quired prevent persons holding claims without doing any development work at all Whether this is d better method than to require annual tax Is question which there Is division of opinion It Is claimed side that work affords at least chance for the discovery of important mineral deposits; the Ot hand 1t is claimed that claim seldom do the work with view of real development but look the sOfes ground which to do the work required to hold the claim
 It is not now expected that there will be any fur thcr relief to holders of mining claims who relieved of the work for two years during the when of the claim in the army or away doing work of some kind.-Douglas International.

CROSSES CHANNEL ON BIKE
Engishman Completes 30-MiIe Trip to
France in IL Hours on
WatercycIe.

Paris.-Harold Bigby, an English
motor engineer has just crossed the
English channel from Folkestone to
Calais on bicycle fitted on two large
floats with propeller on the fore
part of the machine driven by a rod
which in turn was operated by the
pedals. The rider said that he covered
just thirty miles in little more than
twelve hours.
Mr.. Bigby was accompanied by a
motor boat on the trip. Describing
his ride, he said: "a strong sea was
running and southeast wind blow
ing, but was much better OF than
those In the boat, for the cycle rode
the waves better.
For three hours was seasick and
couldn't be fed, as the waves pre-
vented the boat from getting close
enough to me. Once / was almost
washed off my seat and frequently l
was covered in water up to the saddle
Of my machine"

Physicians studying longevity are in
terested in the coming results of the
census bureau age report. That three
score and ten years need not neces
sarily be taken as the logical age limit
on modern human life represents the
newest medical thought on the sub
ject Length of average life Is de-
termined by physical structure and
changes in the composition of the body
rather than by mere length Of time,
physicians explain. BY examination
of the state of tissues and blood
physicians are now able to determine
the age of any person with reason
able degree of accuracy.
Studies still are being made by scien-
lists to explain the reported ages Of
many Of the characters Of the Bible
some of whom lived for more than 900
years. Enoch, father of Methuselah, Is
reported to have died at the then COM
paratively early age Of 1865 years al |
though his son reached 900 years. Ac-
cording to some explanations, the an
clients of these times really lived no |
longer than modern men and women, a
different unit of time being referred to.
The wears" of Methuselah, it is con-
tended by some scientists, really were
periods of the moons changes. BY
others the explanation is advanced
that the life of tribe or family was
referred to rather than the life of an
individual.
The present age, however, has an
advantage over the ancient period, it
Is pointed out, in that now human life
IS gradually increasing in length. Just
he reverse was true in the ancient pc
'iods. Noah lived more than 900 years
Is years were then counted, but his
son Shem died at 600. Shem's son
lived only 439 years Four generations
alter the descendants of Noah were
lying at between 100 and 200 years.
