TURLOCK, Cal, July 25.-Deporta- ton of Japanese laborers has focused the entire Japanese problem of the Pacific coast under the spotlight here.
 Turlock, prosperous agricultural center, has become sign post on the road of racial friction, a straw in the wind. and prophecy fulfilled.
 While federal and state investiga- tions were being concluded, several whites charged with Kidnapping faced the courts, and the town officially deplodes the lawless procedure, the sentiment which prompted the ban ishment is unquestionably widely shared throughout the state, s It is even among those who did not par ticipate in this district.
 Competition Precipitates Clash
 It is characteristic of the anti Japanese stand in California that the Turlock clash occurred over melons and dollars-bread and butter-and not over clements usually associated with race trouble.
 On the surface it was local labor clash between itinerant white work CTS and Japanese harvesters. compet- ing for the same job. with the white using the Orientals as pawns to reduce melon picking costs.
 Fundamentally, however, 1t in- volved every element of the Japanese problem as anticipated in state legls- lation and efforts to check Nipponese aggression in American farm dis tricts.
 When seasonal labor appeared to pick the big melon crop. many white ranchers refused to deal with an or

 What did you read in the papers that night?" asked German.
 T didn't read nothing I already told you I was too drunk to read. The next day was supposed to come back to see Judge Mcdonald, but I could not make it. I got teed up again that night. They had promised me they wouldn't put me in a Jail house or fine me or even indict me. If they'd have promised me any more, I wouldn't have taken it.
 Were you drunk when you testi- fled before the grand jury?"
 No. but I might have been cooked up little" Jackson said
 Claude Williams, former White Sox pitcher. followed Jackson on the stand and said that Judge Mcdonald had not promised him anything. but that Austrian promised him immuni- ty if he would confess and Replogle had agreed ito stand back of any thing Austrian said.''
 Asked by the state if he had not "come running to Judge Mcdonald for an immunity bath and if Judge Mcdonald had not told him you will get no immunity here," Williams re- piled:
 Nothing like that happened"

Proposed New Road To Prescott
 Would Reduce Distance 40 Miles

the county of similar length that will benefit as many different branches of industry-mines, ranching, farms, orchards.
 A. The new road will tap a large area into which there is now not even safe burro trail.
 5. The road is completed for six mile south of Prescott toward the Hassayampa- It is known as the Jersey Lily and forms an approach to a rich mining district. Ten miles more of construction would complete the road to Walnut Grove. One and a half miles of the ten has been built. but requires regarding to reduce the grade; three and a half miles of the ten, lying below the Climax mill. is in a flat along the river and would re- quire only cutting brush and clearing of rocks.
 (. The petition of the taxpayers along the proposed route indicates the people of Walnut Grove and Wagoner want an outlet for their produce in the county seat. Prescott is the only city in the county where there is a large enough market. Min ing interests along the Hassayampa are attracting attention; goodly number of men Is being worked. Con- sidering also the cattle and fruit in- uuSlTleS, lIefe IS JuStlIlcdllOH lOr lile expenditure involved. and the cost would soon return in added taxable valuations.
 [. Possibly not most important now. but certainly in the future. is the consideration of extending the road to Phoenix. If this short line is built to the Walnut Grove and Wagoner sections, it can later be ex- tended nine miles to the head of Castle Creek. where it will link up with the excellent road to the Castle Hot Springs, and the state will have new north and south artery. The distance between Prescott and Phoe- nix will be reduced by between 35 and 40 miles. In other words, the road by Castle Hot Springs would compete in shortness with the Black Canyon.

SAY COURT ERRED
 IN SUPREME COURT
 APPEAL FOR ROMAN

Declaring the court erred in ad- hitting the alleged confession of Vic ro-iRna Martinez as evidence in the trial of Tomas Roman. convicted in February of the murder of August Eei1txe in Tempe on the night of January II last. during the robbery of the Baher-Jones store, Attorneys ThAlhelrer and Hart. appointed by the court to defend Roman with At tor-eys Moore and Garcia yesterday filed the brief of their appeal to the supreme court for new trial in the case. Eornzn was sentenced to hang On April 2e. but secured a stay of execution through the appeal which win probably be heard when the su- prene court re-convenes after the summer vacation.
 The attorneys declare in their brief the confession of Martinez was se- cured under duress and is therefore mot admissible. citing several cases cs similar nature. They base their conclusion on the point Of the testi- nory Of Harry R. Swink. witness in she case. whom they quote as testi- f~inE that Harry Saxon said to Ro- mn and Martinez. while they lay wounded on the ground at Calabasas aster their capture: If you are the men that done the robbery and mur- der at Tempe. you'd better say so, because you will save some innocent man from suffering"
 The state. they affege. failed to show the state of mind of the men at the time and failed to make clear whether the confession was secured under duress or was voluntary. A confession. they hold, to be admissible must be voluntary. They also de- nur to the admission of the confess e.oa on the ground that it was used as evidence against an alleged accom- risce and not against the defendant, who made it. They cite several cases fa support of this contention. They also hold that the court, in admitting the testimony of Helen Teeter about statements made by her father to a man who ran past their door on the night of the murder, assumed the man to he rhe defendant, Tomas Ro- man They further allege the infor- nation on which Roman was con- viccet was not legally filed against him

PARENTS DID NOT
 CALL THE SHERIFF.

Mrs. Hixon. the mother of the young girl whose sham suicide caused some excitement a few days ago, ex- pressed regret yesterday at the pub licity that had been given the affair and especially at the report that she and her husband had been instru- mental in giving it publicity by ap- pealing to the sheriff's office asking that a search be made for the body.
 Nothing of the kind was done by the parents of the girl, who were not alarmed. They did not fear that any suicidal intention was carried out and the revolver and the blood stained note found on the bank of the canal were just such evidences as they had expected to find after the girl had left home in a fit of anger.
 Notification was made to the sher- ifs office by neizhbors. and the re- vclve- was turned o'-er to the off cers. Mrs. Hixon said that she would cry muen like the return of the weapon.

borer or tenant. He is backed by powerful race organization, which has studied, adopted aud outmatched American workers organizations. As laborers they work in contract squads, under Japanese foreman.
 Japanese residents rigidly boycott American merchants and professional men who are known to resist their ecroachment, and their expenditures are not inconsiderable. Which ac- counts for divergence in opinion and action on the part of many merchants and shippers here. as they frankly admit. Prevailing sentiment is there fore but half-heartedly expressed in official resolutions dealing with the situation.
 No Violence, Japanese Returning
 It was at Turlock that the anti alien movement. since endorsed by California and other states. was fa thered.
 Japanese. deportations here were carried out without violence. Not a blow was struck. No one was injured. No property was destroyed.
 On the following day white chil- dren rode with Japanese in melon trucks. and Japanese walked the streets unmolested through groups of idle white laborers. Only the idle melon fields and the scattered return of Nipponese who refused to be in timidated. tokened the situation.
 Turlock today, providing ample protection against repetition of the forcible punishment, does not believe that the oc urrence has acted as a deterrant against further influx of Japanese, though the local head of the Japanese association holds a dif- ferent view. Itinerant white laborers have moved out.

Progressive good roads boosters of Yavapai county are advocating the construction of a new highway which would ultimately connect Prescott with Phoenix. If completed. this road would be the shortest between the two important cities. |. reducing the distance about 40 miles.
 In addition to reducing distance, the proposed highway would tap a rich district which lies practically undeveloped because removed from the main arteries of travel. The route would follow the present road to Castle Hot Springs and continue northward to the Wagoner and Wal nut Grove sections into Prescott.
 The Prescott Journal-Miner ran the following story concerning the highway in its issue of July 24:
 Beyond the limits of Yavapai county ranges the vision of the men who are after the Walnut Grove road. Consummation of their hopes, they feel will mean the ultimate con- struction of the shortest line to Phoe- nix-a route that will rival in con- venience and almost in beauty the famous Senator territorial highway.
 Chief among arguments in favor of this road is that it will open up a territory now assessed at s517, dCCOTulHG lO IH6 dCludi LIE oii Brownie Gentry's books, and covering such varied interests a mining, cat tie raising. farming and fruit raising.
 Ed Block, one of the chief packers of the proposed road, who has been assured by the board of supervisors that a resurvey will be made and possibly construction begun within a short time, has compiled the follow ing reasons why the road should be built to Walnut Grove:
 1. It will reduce the distance be- tween Prescott and Walnut Grove from 3s miles to Is.
 2. The long steep grade over the Copper Basin divide, covered in win ter by snowdrifts. will. be avoided No snow will interfere with traffic down the Hassayampa.

 We told farmers who leased land tA Japanese and encouraged Japanese labor influx that trouble just such as this was bound to occur" say local pioneers in the anti-alien movement. That was two years ago. Now these same farmers are surprised and in censed at the situation-and are in danger of losing the bulk of their melon crop.
 r Their attitude was After us the deluge.' and we are now feeling the first ripples of that deluge.''
 In Turlock, as in other rich Cali fornia agricultural sections, the Jap anese came in numbers only after the fields had been irrigated and devel- oped, with rich prospects for the in tensive cultivation to which they are especially adapted and trained.

 The ranchers said they couldn't break even at the white pickers' price.
 The white itinerants, coming every season for this work, said they couldn't live at a lower wage.
 Japanese, numbering some 700 in addition to those already in the dis trict, began to arrive under contract.
 Generalizations on American and Oriental labor competition suddenly became a definite contest between a white man and a brown for the same job.
 Several hundred whites visited Jap anese lodging houses and ranch dor mitories and rode the new arrivals out of town on trucks, warning them not to return.
 It was a definite case of the Jap anese and American standards of liv- ing, as exemplified by the itinerant rivals being put to competitive test, with the melon growers, harassed by production costs, leaning toward the alien.
 By accepting the Oriental pickers, the Turlock rancher forced the white laborer either to accept what he con- siders the Japanese living standard or by refusing to compete on that level to desert the district and leave the alien in full control.

Ralph de Palma and Jules Goux in French cars were second and third.
 Murphy led in a majority of the 30 circuits of the course, making the 3231z miles in four hours, seven min utes and ten seconds, an average Of 7S12 miles an hour.
 Murphy passed de Palma early in the race and fought for the lead with Chassagne, who drove a French car, until the F'renchman was compelled to drop out in the seventeenth lap.
 The course comprised a circuit of approximately ten and two thirds miles. which the contestants covered 30 times.
 Murphy jumped into the lead in the fifth circuit, followed by Boyer of the United States, Chassagne of France, De Palma for France. Guyot for the United States, Goux for France and Dubonnet for the United States. in the order named. Murphy made the seventh round in seven min- utes 43 seconds, creating a new record for the course.
 Chassagne dashed out in front in the eleventh round, but in the seven teenth circuit was forced to withdraw from the race because of a broken petrol tank.
 In the eighteenth round Murphy again took the lead, with Guyot sec ond and De Palma third. In this round Boyer withdrew. In the final circuit Murphy was forced to change an air chamber, but started again and triumphantly crossed the finish line in the lead. with De Palma a close second. Goux and Dubonnet. who had been trailing. put on an extra burst of speed and finished third and fourth, respec- lively.
 The winner was awarded the gold medal of the French Autobobile club: De Palma a silver gilt medal, and Goux a silver medal.
 James Murphy, winner of the grand prix, is one of the latest American automobile drivers to spring into fame. He is product of the Pacific coast whose home now is in In- dianapolis.
 Murphy began his racing career as mechanician for Eddie O'Donnell and later was associated with Eddie Rick enbacker and other famous drivers Qualifying as a driver in 1917, Murphy appeared in a number of championship contests and at Los
 Angeles in February. 1920. won the | 250-mile national championship.
