LAPS HAVE RIGHT Of LEASING LAND

SUPREME COURT RULINGS
Another Docjaoa Holds Chain Drug Stores are Entitled to Licenses Notwithstanding State Laws Re. garding Pharmacist Ownerships.

Washington. Nov. 1s.-lk1Cah- fornia's attempt to prevent corpora tions composed of Japanese from leasing land in that state for hos pital purposes failed in supreme court today when the court ruled that the Japanese treaty granted that right.
 Ruling in case from Los Angeles brought against K. Tashiro and other Japanese physicians. who wanted to open 8 Japanese hospital there. the court declared the treaty authorizing Japanese corporations to lease land for commercial purposes permitted leasing for hospital purposes. but not for agricultural purposes.
 State Not Satisfied
 The California state courts had held that the corporation which the Japanese physicians had formed was entitled under the treaty with Japan to incorporation for the purpose of leasing land for the hospital, but the state was unwilling to accept that view. insisting that in line with its alien land and other laws it had the right to prohibit Japanese from leas- ing land for hospital purposes. The state courts took the position that the proposed lease was in the nature of commercial enterprise. distinct from the right of the state to prohi- bit Japanese from acquiring land for farming purposes, and that 1t was provided for in the treaty which permitted Japanese to acquire land for commercial purposes.
 Chain Drug Stores
 Corporation operating chain drug stores were declared by the court to be entitled to licenses notwithstand- ing state laws providing that the owners of such stores must be regis tered pharmacists. The court de- clared Q Pennsylvania law of that nature invalid and unconstitutional.
 Justices Holmes and Brandeis dis scented. asserting that corporations should not be granted the exception they insisted upon, asserting that in the sale of poisons and drugs, states had the police power to connne li- censes for drug stores to registered pharmacist1.
 The controversy reached the su- preme court in a case brought by the Louis K. Liggett company, which was denied license for drug store in Hanover, Penn. because of the state law providing that such H. censes could only be granted to re- gistered pharmacists.
 Other corporations conducting chain drug stores were permitted by the supreme court to file briefs sup porting the contention that such law was unconstitutional and invalid. The chain drug stores declared that the public was fully protected in the compromising of prescriptions by their employment of registered phar- macists to have charge of the pre- scription counters.

J. Shocker. 38, former pitching ace for
the New York Yankees and st. Louis
Browns. He died here yesterday follow

The major league veteran was suffer.
ing from heart disease when he came
here in July after his unconditional re-
lease from the Yankees, where he failed
to hit his stride this year because Of
failing health.
Shocker's major league career began
and ended with the New York Ameri-,
cans. though he spent his seven best
years with the Browns from 1918 to
1924. He broke into semi-pro base ball
as catcher, and desired to catch when

Coming into organized base ball with
Windsor in the Border League in 1918,
Shocker reached the majors three years
later when he was bought by the
Yankees for $3.50 from Ottawa in the
Canadian League.
He won five games and lost two for
New York in 1916, went to Toronto
the next year for seasoning, and then
returned to the Yankees for year. He

His old strike-out wizardry. which
was shown best in 1922 when he whitfield
149 batsmen in 48 games, began a steady
decline the following season. and he got
only 35 strike-outs last year.
ST. Louis traded the pitcher back
to New York late in 1924.
Shocker's major league totals up to
1923 reveals he pitched 2,672 innings IN

however, he has hit around 400 to
bring it to 283 and it still is climbing
In addition, he leads both leagues in

by his exceptional throwing arm, nip
