EXCLUSION ACT
FINAL SAYS j, 5.
NOTE TO JAPAN
BY United Press Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, June 19.- The
American government has decided
that the law excluding japanese
immigrants from the United States
beginning July ] is final and no
attempt will be made by the exc
cutive branch of the government TO
supersede it.
This is the J" kevnote- Of the re-
ply of Secretary of State Hughes to
the recent japanese protest against
the exclusion law. 1t is particularly
significant in connection with the
belief in some quarters that the two
governments would negotiate
treaty to override the law.
The United States believes that
to hold out hope of mitigation the
exclusion law would only keep alive
dissatisfaction and antagonism be-
tween the two countries. 1t takes
the attitude that all the exchanges
between Japan and the United States
over the immigration controversy
have been conducted in spirit of
friendship and understanding.
Hughes in his reply to Ambassador
Hanihara stated:
~ take pleasure in noting your
reference TO the friendliness and can
dor in which your communication
has been made and YOU may be as
sured of the readiness of this gov
crnment to consider in the same
spirit the views you have set forth. y

written by Addison T. Smith, chair.
man of committee on arid lands, and
\. :. Sinnott, senior member OF com
mittee on irrigation, chairman OF
committee on public lands and mem
Der of Republican steering commit
tee.
Smith, whose committee was III
charge of the hearings on the Swing
johnson bill writes in part: "Iou
have convinced the members of the
committee of the urgency and neces-
sitv for relief from annual flood
waters of the Colorado river and |
believe most of them believe the
United States government is the
agency that should have charge of
the ease on behalf of the people of
work. You have also ably presented
Imperial Valley for government aid
in bringing their irrigation system
entirely within the boundaries of our
own country.
THE committee generally feels
very friendly toward the Boulder
project. and | have every reason to
believe that we will be able to make
favorable report on your bill early
in the next session.
Sinnott s letter declares: The
only serious objectiOn~that has thus
far been raised to your bill is the
one involved in the conflict of
claims between the upper and low
er basin states. The upper states
have insisted that before they will
sonsent to any ma jor development in
the lower basin. their rights to the
waters of the Colorado river must
be first recognized and settled. To
this end they are demanding the
ratification of the Colorado river
compact, as their best guarantee.
But so far the state of Arizona has
not acted upon it.
I'VE ARD advised that the matter
of ratifving the compact viii be
settled one way or the other by the
people of Arizona at the November
election. The committee feels that
in the interests of harmony it should
wait IA reasonable length OF time for
Arizona to act. After it learns what
Arizona is willing to DO, the com
mittee will then act eXpeditiously
and, | believe favorably upon your
bill. -
The address of welcome was
splendidlv given by Mrs. NJ. c.
Blanchard, of HoltvilIe, who said
that Congressman Swing returns to
the Imperial Valley with character
unbesmirched and with Il great re-
cord in Washington, a man whom
this district must return to com
plete the fight for the big project
which means everything to the
southwest.
The banquet, which started short
ly after eight O'Clock, followed the
procession through the valley in
the afternoon. Congressman Swing
and party were met at Westmorland
by more than 90 automobiles and Il
delegation numbering over 100
friends. The motorcade proceeded
to Brawley and southwark through
Imperial to FL Centre.

They saw the Jongvrouw croWding

to starboard and raced on until they
could send a warning shot across her
bow. The Jongvrouw yeered. show

in which he had been reared. 1 doubt
if in his day there was a greater
scoundrel among the brethren Of the
coast than this Levasseur. And yet,
repulsive though he found him, Capt
Blood could not deny that the fell
lows proposals displayed boldness,
imagination and resource, and he was
forced to admit that jointly they
could undertake operations of a
greater ma gnitude than was possible
singly to either of them. The climax
of Levasseur's project was to be n
raid upon the wealthy mainland city
OF Maracaibo, but Tor this, he admit
ted, GOO men at the very least would
he required, and 600 men were not to
be conveyed in the two bottoms they
now commanded. Preliminary cruises
must take place, having for one Of
their objects the capture OF further
ships.
Because he disliked the man, Capt.
Blood would not commit himself at
once. But because he liked the pro-
posal he consented to consider it,.
Being afterward pressed by both
Hagthorpe and Wolverstone, who did
not share his own personal dislike of
tlte Frenchman. the end of the matter
was that within a week articles were
drawn up between Levasseur and
Blood and signed by them and-,as
was usually the chosen representa-
tiveS Of their followers.
These articles contained. inter ala,
the common provisions that. should
the two vessels separate, a strict ac-
count must afterward be rendered of
all prizes severally taken, while the
vessel taking a prize should retain
three-tifths of its value, surrendering
two-fifthS to it's associate. These
shares were subsequently to be sub
divided among the crew of each yes
sci. in accordance with the articles
already obtaining between each cap
tain and his own men. For the rest,
the articles contained all the clauses
that We're usual, among which was
the clause that any man found guilty
of abstraCting or concealing any part
of prize. be it of the value of no
more than a peso, should be sum
marily hanged from the yardarm.
All being now settled, they made

whom he greeted half mockingly as
his admiral. The Irishman came to
settle certain final details, of which
all that need concern us is an under
standing that in the event of the two
vessels becoming separated by acci-
dent or design, they should rejoin
each other as soon as might be at
Tortuga.
Thereafter Levasseur entertained
his admiral to dinner. and jointly

the other, as If busting them.

There was restraining hand upon
his shoulder and the broad face of
his lieutenant. Cahusac, a burly, cal
ious Breton scoundrel, was stolidly
confronting him.
LevaSseur made clear his purpose
with a deal of unnecessary obscenity
Cahusac shook his head. "A Dutch

should never be allowed"
And who the devil will deny u.s."

and fury.

and resource which Capt. Blood had
detected III the fellow soon suggested
d course.
Cursng in his soul and even before
TIE anchor was weighed. the associa-
ton into which he had entered, he
was already studying ways of eva
sion. What Cahusac implied was
true. Blood would never suffer vio-
lence TO be done in his presence to a
Dutchman; but il might be done in
his absence; and, being done, Blood
must perforce cOndOne it, since il
would then be too late to protest.
Within the hour the Arahella and
IA Foudre were beating out to sea
together. Without understanding the
change of plan involved, capt. Blood
nevertheless accepted it and weighed
