Bessemer Upsets Dope and Wallops the
 Simpson FiOe

One of the. greatest surprises oT prep basketball this season occurred last night. when Bessemer High schools basketball team defeated the Simpson Junior Partners, 22 to H. giving Coach Reynolds boys their second defeat fin as many nights. Waller and Fishback played good basketball for the Tigers, and were in a large measure responsible for Bessemer's victory. These two. with Boyd. scored all 22 of Bessemer's points, and in addition played a great defensive game, being ably assisted by Hodges and Honeycutt.
 Charlie Vincent was perhaps Simp sons best player on the floor last night. playing a nice game for the Junior Partners.
 The Junior Partners started off well. and were leading the Tigers by 13 to 2 score at the end of the first half. Bessemer started a rally in the second period. however. and overhauled the Junior Partners, to finish a winner by one point. Caldwell Tanner and Wheeler played good basketball, and did much to hold the Tigers In check. The game was exceptionally rough, and was played on Bessemers court.

cAL|FORMA'SBAN
ON ALIENS UPHELD
Three Federal Judges Concur
in Declaring No Violations
.. of Treaty Exist.
BY the Associated Press

BY the AssOciat ted Press.
SAN FRANCISCO. May 24.-Cali-
fornia's alien land law violates no pro-
visions of the federal Constitution. nor
does it conflict with the treaty between
the United States and Japan, according
to the unanimous opinion rendered by
Judge w. w. Morrow of the United
States circuit court of appeals and
Judges NJ. T. Dooling and w. H. Saw
telle of the United States district court
yesterday.
The three judges sat en- banc to pass
upon the application Of Raymond l..
F'rick and n. Satow, the latter q sub
ject of Japan. who sought to enjoin
Attorney General u. s. Webb and Dis
trict Attorney Matthew Brady from
interfering with the transfer Of stock
in the Merced Farm Company from
Frick to Satow. The opinion of the
three judges was:
court that the plaintiffs therein are not
entitled to injunctive relief, and their
application for temporary injunction
should be denied; that the California
statute therein involved violates no
provisions of the Constitution OF the
any provision or stipulation of the
treaty between the United States and
Japan; that the plaintiffs application
for a temporary injunction be denied
and ordered accordingly"
Judge Morrow. in his concurrfng
opinion, said:
..All aliens other than those men,
toned in section of this statute tthat
is to say, aliens ineligible for citizen
ship) may acquire, possess. enjoy and
transfer real property, or any interest
therein, in this state. in the manner
and to the extent and for the purpose
of prescribed by any treaty now ex-
listing between the government of the
United States and the nation or coun-
try of which such alien Is q citizen
or subject, and not otherwise.
Our attention has not been called
to any provision in the treaty between
this country and Japan providing that
such an alien may acquire, possess, en-
joy and transfer real property or any
interest therein in this state, other
than land for residential or commercial
purposes"

BUREAU CHANGES UP.
President and Cabinet Consider Re
organization Matters.

The plan for reorganizing the gov
ernment departments and bureaus
which was submitted to the President
more than four months ago, by w.
F. Brown. chairman of the joint con-
gressfonal committee on reorganiza-
tion, is still under consideration by
the executive and members of his
cabinet. although it was said at the
White House today that the former
hopes to resubmit 1t to the joint COM
mittee within a short time for prep
aration before presenting to Congress
for the necessary legislation.
The President is known to be ex-
tremely anxious to dispose of this
matter and just as soon as he can
get a unanimity OF opinion among his
cabinet officers regarding certain i'm
portant changes proposed by the plan,
he will then be in a position to return
1t to the joint committee.
Because of certain difficulties. there
will be still a further delay. although
1t is expected that the plan will be in
the hands of the joint committee
within the next few weeks.
