ans is friend Of Mrs. AL Jer-
man, and that she will not prose
cute the claim against the Jer-
man estate held by the estate OF
Charles Edward James, the faith
er Of the deceased and former hus-

tion for administrator OF the es-
tate. stating that it consisted OF

ceny in a dwelling, and stating
that the claim of her sons estate
is against the Oregon Electric rail
road.

states that Mrs. Adams married
her present husband in 1904 and
that when Blanch Angeline
James. the daughter OF Mrs. Ad-
ans, who was living with the
couple, was about IL years old.
Adams made an attack on her
for which he was later sent to the

T Federal Exclusion
Law Only Solution
Of Jap Case-Olcott

That federal legislation en-
bodying a rigid exclusion act is
the only satisfactory solution of
the Japanese problem as it affects
the United States, was the opinion
expressed in letters prepared here
today by Governor Olcott and sent
to Oregon's representative in con-
gress.
Issuan the governors let
ters foil, ceipt of an appeal
from Willlo..4 d. Stephens, govern
or of California, in which the lat
ter urged the Oregon executive to
use his influence to the end that
an absolute exclusion act would be
passed by congress under condi-
tions that would save any real
humiliation to Japan.
Governor Olcott's letter to Ore
gon's delegation in congress fol-
lows:
This office is in receipt of a
communication from William d.
Stephens, governor of California,
in which he urges that l write to
each of our state delegation at
Washington. asking their co-opera-:
tion with the California delegation
in an effort to secure absolute ex-
clusion of Japanese immigration
under conditions which win save
any real humiliation to Japan and
will make for peace now and per-
manent friendship hereafter be-
tween this country and Japan.
II feel very strongly upon this
japanese question and made as
urgent an appeal as l know how
to the recent legislature for prop
er legislation dealing with the
subject. While such legislation
was not enacted I do sincerely
hope that the federal government
will take a strong position in this
matter and insist upon rigid ex-
clusion which, believe. must
eventually be the satisfactory So
luton Of this great problem"
