CRISIS CAUSED BY
RESIGNATION BONAR LAW
Possibility That Lloyd
George May Have to
Ask for Vote of Con-
hdence and Entire Sit
uation Declared to be
in a Muddle..

London, March 1S.-A political
crisis of the first magnitude has been
created by the retirement of A. Bonar
Law from the cabinet, it is declared
| by the London Times. Other news
papers, while less emphatic, agree in
| saying that Mr.. Bonar Laws resigna-
ton is certain to have considerable
political effect and that 1t probably
will materially weaken the coalition
government. 1t is pointed out that
no successor to Mr.. Bonar Law is
likely to work so well with Prime
Minister Lloyd George and the Gra-
phic even suggests that IL Mr.. Lloyd
George is called upon to face a pros
pect OF unsympathetic association he
may find the strain of office intoler-
able, and will follow Mr.. Bonar Law
into retirement.
There are many forecasts relative
to the new Unionist leader whom the
party will elect Monday, Austin Cham
berlain, chancellor of the exchequer;
Sir Robert Horne, president of the
Board of Trade and Sir Edward Car
son are given most prominent mention
as being probable successors to Mr..
Bonar Law.
Mr.. Chamberlain, who is reported
not to be in robust health, would pre-
sumably be appointed government
leader in the house of commons in ad-
dition to the position Of Lord of the
E,prapy seal and 81 which case he might
find it impossible to continue the
chancellorship.
pannla olaoo Tlo1yd
George have indicated that Sir Rob-
ert Horne might succeed Mr.. Cham
berlain as chancellor, while the pres
idency of the board of trade nigh be
taken by Sir P. Lloyd-Greane, at
present parliamentary secretary for
the board or Stanley Baldwin, finan-
c!al secretary of the treasury. Sir
Robert has gone to the Riviera while
Sir Edward Carson plans to sail for
Gibraltar on aturday. Sir Edward is
said to be disinclined TO assume the
government leadership in commons.
Suggestions have been made in
some quarters that Lloyd George HIM
self take charge of the Unionist party
which constitutes the bulk Of his sup
port in parliament.
The London Times, remarks on
this feature of the situation that the
Unionists as a whole. while willing to
make every use of him, are most jeal-
Gus of his power.
Bonar Law is widower and lost
his two sons in the War. An inti-
mate friend played chess with him
Wednesday evening and suspected
nothing, but an alienist who examined
him Monday morning ordered him to
quit work or face the gravest risks.
He will leave for the Riviera by sea
accompanied by his daughter possi-
bly, today and will remain, abroad a
couple of months.

RIOTS PREVAIL in
JAPAN IN CHARGE
AGAINST OFFICERS

Toxic, March 1S.-Riotuos scenes
were enacted at meeting of the Ken
sci Kai, or opposition party, which
had gathered here today to discuss a
sensational open letter written by
Secretary Hirooka OF the Seiyu-kai
arty, charging Viscount Kato, presl-
dent of the Kensei-Kai with accepting
a bribe. The meeting was attended
by 10000 persons and when Represen-
tatiye Tomezaburo ShlmiZu attempted
to speak dozen men rushed forward
and demolished the platform. This
increased the excitement and there
were many fights in the crowd and
the police were forced to intervene,
making many arrests.
After the meeting had broken up a
crowd, headed BY two automobiles,
marched toward the diet building
which was surrounded by two cordons
os police with hundreds of reserves in
nearby streets and parks.
The correspondent of the Associar-
ell Press sought to traverse this dis
trict. but was politely requested 70
take another street.
Having arrived in the vicinity of the
diet building the crowd was har-
rangued by leaders who spoke from
automobiles. The throng was urged tc
break through the police cordons and
roaring cheers burst from the crowd
which serged forward, but police re-
serves were hurried up, and the man
ifestants were forced to retire. Theii
leaders were arrested while newspa'
per photographers. perched on monu
ments and in. trees, took pictures o.
the scent.
/ Meanwhile greatest excitement pre-
vailed within the diet. The peers
unanimously adopted a resolution pro
posed by Rem Nakashoji, dsclarini
the discipline Of the empire disinte
grating, the minds of the people in
state OF unrest, the nations prestig
abroad impaired and general condi
tions deplorables.a The resolution as
serted it was desired to speedily REQ
! tify prevailing evils.

KENTUCKY LAND
SHOWS DECLINE

Washington, March 18.-The de-
cline in the price of tobacco last year
had its effect on the value of Ken
tucky land, the department Of agri-
culture reported today in announcing
that the average price of plow land in
the Blue Grass state in 1920 was $53
an acre as compared with $40 an acre
in 1913. The decrease. common to
most states. was said by the depart
ment to have been greater probably In
Kentucky than in any other state.
Iowa has the highest priced land,
the department said. the average value
of tillable land in that state last year
being 5000 an acre.
Alabama and Mississippi were near
the bottom with land values of $26 an
acre.
Western states showed the least de-
cline last year in the prices of land
and in the cases of California, Ore
gon and Colorado there was a slight
increase over the preceding year
Plow land in California was valued
at $135 an acre in 1920 as compared
with $3.50 in 1919.

SEVERAL, HUNDRED TEMPLE ORANGE
TREES STOLEN FROM TEMPLE GROVE

Especial to the Evening Telcgram)
Winter Haven. Fla, March lS.-
Thieves on Wednesday night raided
the grove of the Temple Groves Cor
poration at Templeton, six miles east
OF Lake Wales, pulling up by the
roots 328 young orange trees planted
last December, just leafing out. Scar
cely had information of this outrage
become known than news came In
that Harold s. Norman had suffered
the loss of seven hundred one-year-old
trees from his grove. Officials of the
Temple Groves Corporation imme-
dately posted notices offering re-
ward of $1,000 for the apprehension
Of the thieves, also wiring the State
Plant Board officers at Gainesville,
the crime not only being that of steal
ing but of violation of the State plant
act which forbids under penalty the
removal of trees from one grove to
another without inspection by the
State plant board. D. c. Gillette
who is at the head of the Temple
Groves Corporation, stated last night
that the company would go to the
length of mounting machine gun
and installing a search light to pro-
tect its interests. Every possible pre-
caution is being taken to run down
the thieves who operated in thor
orghly scientific manner, removing
the trees from two sides of the grove
and far enough from the fencing to
make immediate detection not at all
probable. The theft of so large q
number of young trees has created nc
md of excitement among local grow
