Recall Of Judicial
Decisions
VALID AS GUARDIANS

SAN FRANCIsCO, May 2.-Owner-
ship Of land in California by Japanese
guardians for their minor children had
the sanction Of the state supreme court
today.
In an opinion handed down in test
case, the amendment to the California
anti-alien land law, passed two years
ago, designed to prevent Japanese buy
ing land as guardians for American
born Japanese children, was declared
unconstitutional
It marked the first instance wherein
a phase Of the antt-sliln land law has
been rendered imperative by Califor-
mia court decision.
Inman Wants Recall
SACRAMENTO, Calf, May 2.-If
the people Of the state Of California,
speaking in the decisive manner in
which they did in the passage Of the
alien land law, cannot say who shall
own their lands and under what con-
ditions and restrictions their lands shall
be owned, then it is time we find out.
With this statement Senator J. R. In
man, head Of the Oriental exclusion
league, advocated today the recall Of

cision Of the state supreme court in
ruling unconstitutional the amendment
Of the alien law prohibiting the sale Of

AUTO CLUB SEEKS
: SCHOOL SAFETY

The public safety department. of the
Automobile Club of Southern California
is mailing out to all school teachers in
the territory covered by the club, a bull
letin calling attention to the large num-
ber of accidents which occur among
schoo children during vacation days,
and requesting that the teachers set
aside certain period each week to dis
cuss vacation plans with the children
and urge them to practice "Safety
first" while enjoying the summer
months.
The bulletin enumerates the causes Of
most accidents such as Fourth of July
burns and explosions, falls as the re-
suit of climbing in perilous places, swim
ming fatalities, the dangers of blood
poisoning from going barefoot in places
where glass and nails have been strewn,
carelessness with firearms, and playing
in dangerous places such' as highways,
railroad yards and city streets.
While this work is slightly different
from the usual activities of the Auto
mobile club, it was promoted by the dis
tressing number of automobile accidents,
many of them fatal, which occur during
the vacation period, and a desire to
reduce them to minimum.
It was later decided to cover accidents
in general, and ask the cooperation of
school teachers in placing before the
children the hazards and risks they take
when placed upon their own responsible
ity, and show them that it is possible
to have plenty Of fun and an enjoyable
vacation, without exposing themselves
to needless dangers.

positors in the First Bank of Savings
and the First National Bank Of Fort
Bragg, closed because of alleged short
ages discovered by bank examiners,

Directors of the two banks, which

cided to levy an assessment on stock

stated, will be levied as soon as the
exact amount of the alleged shortage
is known.
President Bernard said thus far a
total shortage of $17S,0O0 had been un-
covered, divided between the two
banks.
1t was to Bernard that j. +. Weller,
cashier of the First Bank of Savings,
made an alleged admission that he was
responsible for the shortage.
Bernard said that he expected to
swear to a formal complaint against
Weller this afternoon. Weller now is
held at the county Jail at Ukiah.
"This was merely u case where a
man thought he could make money by
small investment said one of the men
closely interested in the investigation
today.
The indications are that the man
"borrowed little from the banks be-
cause it was easy"-merely yielding to
temptation-and invested it.
''The investment failed. He borrow
ed more money to speculate in hopes
to pay back what he had wrongfully
taken. Again he failed. Thus he went
deeper and deeper into the mire until
he never could get OUT

Weller was brought to Ukiah late

who charged that the accounts were
$4,000 short.
"No formal charge has as yet been

formal complaint today.
"Thus far however, we have not OBJ

we have not found out what these pro-

CASE COMING UP

SACRAMENTO, Calf, May 2.-The
constitutionality of making allowances
to veterans to enable them to obtain an
education by the Veterans Welfare
board will be argued before the supreme
court here tomorrow. Many California
veterans, beneficiaries under the bond
issue, are affected. The proposed &c..

ance.
The affair is test case brought by
the Veterans Welfare board against
Ray L. Riley, state controller. The
board is seeking a writ of mandate to
compel Riley to pay warrants for ex.
penses incurred by the board under the
provisions of the soldier welfare legis.

Riley has taken the attitude that he
is not warranted to pay the money, as
the laws are class legislation, and un.
constitutional. He holds that the legis,
lature did not have the power to pass
such legislation.
