McClatchy Sounds Warning.
v. S. McClatchy of Sacramento,
representing the Japanese Exclu-
sion League of California, declared
that unless the Japanese were ex-
cluded they ultimately would
swamp the white races.
Within the last three months,
Mr.. McClatchy said, several states
had shown a desire to cooperate
with California in enacting anti
alien land bills similar to that re-
Gently passed in California. In
Oregon and Idaho, he added. land
bills had been proposed in the leg

government.
Raker Proposes Ban.

proposed an amendment to the
constitution providing that no
child hereafter born in the Uni
ted States of foreign parentage
shall be eligible to citizenship in
the United States unless both par
ents are eligible to become citizens
of the United States"
Mr. McClatchy told the confer
ence that unless the Japanese inn
migration problem was solved by
the absolute exclusion Of the Japa-
nese they would inevitably
swamp the white race"
Birth Rate Dangerous.
He declared they had establish
ed a birth Iate per thousand three
times as great as that of the
whites and that il further immi-
grafton were prohibited for 100
years there would be more Japa-
nese than whites in California.
"The japanese today control
one-eighth of all the rich irrigated
lands of California" Mr.. McClat-
chy said. "They will not and
cannot make American citizens"
Under the so-called gentlemen's
agreement. Mr.. McClatchy added,
there has been no suspension or re-
striction of immigration.
I'VE have done the extraordi-
nary thing" he continued, "of
passing to Japan one OF our SOW
ereign rights of determining who
and how many may come in. Tho

Why should we longer surrender a
supreme prerogative of this char
acter which is to oul manifest

Promised
This Year
Work On First Unit
of Institution To
Commence In Near
Future

Construction OF the new hos
pital, sponsored by the Salem Hos
pital association, will be COM
menced this summer, according to
an announcement made this morn
ing by H. w. Meyers, who is
handling the campaign for funds
to erect the building. 1t is the
purpose Of the association to follow
out the original plan and erect a
structure which will cost approxi-
mately $125, 900, the sum needed
when the movement for new hos
pital was started some time ago.
$45,000 Needed.
At recent meeting of the board
Of directors, it was decided that as
soon as $45,000 was pledged the
construction would commence.
About $4,000 was pledged last
year and approximately $4,000 of
this sum has been repledged dur
ing the last thirty days in which
a quiet campaign has been con-
Quoted by Mr.. Meyers among the
people who had previously signed
up.
within the next few weeks we
will have the balance of the money
in on these old pledges" stated
Mr.. Meyers. "The people have
been very liberal in renewing
their pledges, and some have even
offered to double theirs should we
not have enough funds to begin
the erection of the first unit,
which will cost about $4,000 and
will include the installation of a
complete heating plant, lanndries
and operation rooms.
Delay Saves Money.
"A saving in the cost of the
plant of a about a third has re-
suited in our waiting for a year to
commence work, and this saving
will enable us to build and equip
a much better hospital"
The association has already
assets in liberty bonds, property
and equipment, outside of pledges,
close to $35, 900, so that with the
additional pledges to be brought
in, there will be nearly double the
sum needed for the erection of the
first unit.
The unit to be erected will ac-
commodate about rs patients and
when the building is completed a
total of 15G patients can be accom-
modated easily. The location will
be on the hospital associations
property east of Salem and west
of the old Salem hospital.
Rates to Be Standard.
"The rates charged by the in
stitution will be based the same as
other hospitals" said Mr.. Meyers,
"but the charges in the hospital
we were operating previously were
much lower than those in the cit
les.
There are no hospitals in this
city adequate to take care of an
epidemic such as the flu should ltl
break out again, and it is to the
best interests of all SaIem's citi-
zens to see that this association is i
provided with funds adequate to
meet all emergencies" Mr.. Meyers
stated. IA flying squadron Of
citizens, appointed by the board Of
directors will make a complete
canvass of the town to raise the
remaining funds and everyone will
be asked to subscribe, no matter
how small the amount"
Announcement of those who al
ready subscribed will be madel
later.

THREE PERSONS
SHOT TO DEATH
CLAUD CLARKE KILLS TWO AND
HIMSELF-WOMAN LEAPS TO
SAFETY THROUGH WINDOW
WITH INFANT IN HER ARMS.
CLARKE RAILROAD MAN

Arcadia, Fla, Oct. 2.-Three well
known persons of this city are dead,
two at the hands of Claud o. Clarke,
who also killed himself when he saw
that escape from a band of angry
citizens who were seeking to arrest
him was impossible. The dead are
James A. Timberlake, attorney; Mrs.
Dercas Blount, Clarke's mother-in-
law and Claude o. Clarke.
Clarke was a railroad man and
Mrs. Clarke conducts a small hotel
here. They had been having matri-
monial difficulties and Mrs. Clarke
had retained Timberlake as her
counsel to secure a divorce for her.
Just before noon today Clarke en-
tered Undertakes Office and, ac-
cording to Lewis Robbins, Timber
lakes law partner, came in with an
army automatic pistol in his hand
and began firing at Timberlake. The
first two shots took effect, one in
Undertakes neck, the other in his
breast. Timberlake fell out Of a
window on to an adjoining roof, dy-
ing. Clarke fired one shot at Rob-
bins, missing him, then turned and
fed. He ran a block to the hotel
and rushed upstairs to his wife's
room on the second floor. Mrs.
Clarke was seated at window with
their infant in her lap. He pointed
the revolver at her and she leaped
with the baby, through a window.
He fired and the shot struck her left
ankle. She and the baby fell to the
ground but were not badly hurt and
both will recover. He fired at her
again as she lay prone but missed.
Clarke then rushed into the room
of Mrs. Clarke's mother, Mrs, Blount
and shot her through the heart.
From Mrs. Blount's room Clarke
made his way down the back stairs
and exchanged shots with Lowdes
Treadwell, who sought to intercept
him at the door. Clarke ran into the
rear Of an apartment house and
made his way to the second floor.
There he was faced by other men.
Seeing escape impossible he turned
the gun against his right temple and
fired.
The man is believed to have be-
come demented through brooding
over his domestic affairs.
