Leaders in Toxic See Only
Harm From Bringing Cues

BY j. RUSSELL KENNEDY.

By Radio to The Star and Chicago Daily News
TOXIC, April 20.-Lengthy cables
to the japanese press from Washing
ton report that George Wickersham,
former Attorney General, is heading a
countrywide movement to do away
with the provision by which japanese
are excluded from the United States
by law and place them on a quota
basis. This report is received here
among we'll informed persons with in
credulity, because the japanese gen
orally are 'reconciled to the inevitable
American policy. and are not inclined
to believe such a movement has the
slightest chance of success.
Leading Japanese to whom this cor
respondent has talked are strongly op.
posed to stirring up the question at
this time or for long years to come.
One high official, who was educated
and has travelled in America, said to-
day:
II think we know America well
enough to insure opposition among
the best Japanese to a movement
which, if successful. will not benefit
Japan. Any organized movement to
change the law as it now stands will
only result in incalculabIa harm to
Japanese-A American relations"

REDS DEATHS DEMANDED.
Bulgarians Inhamed Against Ca

By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News
SOFIA, April 20.-"He who isn't
with the government is against it,
That is the most striking result of
the awful disaster which befell the
Bulgarians last week. 1t always takes
some time before full realization of
tragedy makes itself felt, but now
the citizens of towns and the peasants
in the villages are pondering over the
crime, which history will record as
the most devilish act Of centuries.
The fact that the criminals chose
Holy week for their attempts to de-
stroy the government only makes
matters worse, and 1t Is realized that
anti Christian doctrines, INDUCED in
by Russian Communists, are firmly
imbedded in the hearts of all Com
munistS.
Country Now Quiet.
Since the government proclaimed
martial law throughout the country
all has been quiet.
1t is said that almost all the sup.
posed ringleaders have been taken.
Military tribunals will try them, but
public opinion unanimously demands
their death as enemies against So
ciety.
The only feature of the situation
Which cannot De called IN dispute Is
the paucity of the armed forces the
government possesses. The govern.
ment has requested permission of the
great powers temporarily to enlist
another 10000 soldiers, and the great
body of foreign and local opinion Is In
favor of this demand, as it is not an
exaggeration to state that only the
army stands between Bulgaria and
the Communists.
Reds Well Organized.
The majority of the country l.
against the Communists, but the lat
ter seem to be well organized. There
fore, 1t Is essential to give Tsankoff's 's
government every encouragement ir
the struggle against elements which
| will not stop at anything to achieve
their aims-namely, the creation of a
state of anarchy in Bulgaria, followed
by an attempt to set up a Soviet re
| public, a situation which cannot fai

southeastern Europe.

Two Brick Structures at
RoSSIyn Damaged When
Frame House Falls.

Two brick buildings were partially
wrecked when the foundation OF a

According to S. NJ. Samaha. one of
the rear struts of the frame building
collapsed about 5 o'clock this morn
ing and the whole building fell over,
staVfnS in the side walls of the dry
goods store and the lunchroom. Meth
er building was occupied at the time.
The dry goods store was damaged
most, the sidewall being completely
demolished and the roof weakened so
that the ceiling fell in. The stock of
merchandise there was buried under
tons of bricks.
The rear wall of the lunchroom,
while still standing, has been pushed
in and is in danger of falling. The
frame building is a complete wreck.
S. NJ. Samaha, who has been direct
ing the laborers moving the frame
building and laying the foundation
for the new building, said that the
rear struts of the frame building were
examined carefully Saturday and
tested for the weight of the building
