HUSBAND opposed Trip
Robert Price, 8, told police that his
mother had planned to go to Chi
cago today TO visit relatives, despite
the wishes of her husband. He said
that his father and mother had
quarreled bitterly over the proposed
visit.
Early this morning, the father
sent him, Robert said, to get his
older brother, James, Is, ostensibly
for the purpose of taking his mother
to the Union Station to catch the
noon train.
The two boys returned to find the
parents on the floor, the mother
dead.
No Witnesses Present
There were no witnesses to the
shooting. police said
Both the boys said their father
and mother had quarreled violently
for years over what the father
claimed was attention paid to Mrs.
Price by another man. They had
been married for fifteen years. The
wife had denied interest in another.
Mrs. Price had been employed at
a refreshment stand in Brookside
Park. She was formerly from An
derson. it was said. Prices original
home was Upton. Both have lived
practically all their married life in
this city, however.
Four Shots Heard
Mrs. Price was shot twice, once
through the mouth. Price used a .3S
caliber revolver. Neighbors told
police that they heard four shots.
Price fell four feet from his wife. He
never regained consciousness.
Tom Beals, proprietor Of the re-
freshment stand where Mrs. Price
had bene employed, in a statement
to the police and Coroner Paul F.
Robinson, said an engineer of the
Big Four Railroad had annoyed Mrs.
Price while she was working at the
stand. He said that he notified the
husband and suggested that Mrs.
Price quit work.
The husband agreed, but later ap-
pealed to him, Beals said, to allow
Mrs. Price to take back her job, as
he was in debt and wanted her to
work, so that she and the three boys
could eat at the stand.
Albert, the third son, was out play
ing when the tragedy occurred and
was located by neighboring children.

Many big game hunters and guides appear to be utterly averse to any change in the game laws as recom- mended by the Seward Game club re- gently. The guides believe that fool ing with the game laws would let the bars down for lot of crank legisla- ton and that more harm than bene- fit would ensue. Seward last year took in more then s10,000 from big game hunters, and naturally the guides are reluctant to have changes made which might cause hunting par ties to go down the Yukon instead of into the Skilak lake district. So far as The Gateway is concerned it be- lieves that the guides are better fit ted to speak on game conditions than the average layman. Their living is concerned in it, and any handicap plac ed on them would wreck the big game enterprise Much objection has been raised to the proposal to make res ervation strip on each side of the rail way. A majority of the persons writ ing to this paper, and their name IS legion. prefer to leave matters alone being satisfied with conditions.

CALIFORNIA
 DRYING JAPANESE
 FARMERS EASTWARD
BREAKING UP OF BIG ESTATES IN SOUTH IS PREDICTED
 AS RESULT DECISION

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Feb. 6.-Jap- anese farmers, forbidden by the Calif- ornia law to own or lease agrricul- tural lands or to work them on crop-sharing basis, are turning to- wards eastern and middlewestern cen ters of population, local Japanese say.
 California, in turn, is looking to the east and middle west for thous ands of white farmers to purchase, lease or work land forced away from Japanese tillers. Throughout the state ways of attracting farmers are being discussed. The land offered includes some of the richest soil in the state.
 The United States supreme court in several recent decisions has up held the California alien land law. The latest decision upholds the pro- vision forbidding aliens ineligible to citizenship from being employed on crop-sharing contracts. This ruling is said to have affected more than 30,000 Japanese, who until this fall were employed on California lands under crop-sharing contracts. Tens of thousands of highly productive acres were involved.
 The immediate effect of the de cision it was said at the Japanese consulate and the Japanese Chamber of Commerce here, was for repre- sentatives of the Japanese to be sent into eastern states to survey the agricultural situation. The survey was reported to have indicated that many Japanese could find profitable employment as truck gardeners in districts surrounding the larger cities It also was learned that in most oi these district Japanese could lease or buy land without restriction.
 For years California has beer waging a fight for a white state The political fight has ended, the Japanese have given assurance tha1 they will make no further effort tc combat the law, but behind 1t all has been left vast and acute economic

CT with proper licenses, to have fire arms in his possession. Many legis- lators favor restricting the possession of firearms to legal residents, while others believe that non-residents should be compelled to take out a gun license in order to check up on their activities. Much complaint comes in regarding cannery workers to the far westward killing game out of season, and as there is but one game warden to patrol several thousand miles of territory it is impossible for him to keep watch over the wild life. Which ever method is adopted it will stop a vast army of hunters coming in on the cannery boats at time when the game is out of season.
