japanese Farms Bombed In Out
Break OF Violence Aimed At
Alleged Alien Ranchers.
BY JULIAN A. BEAMAN

United Press Staff Correspondent
PHOENIX, Ariz., Sept. 20.-Pick-
ed squads of sheriff's deputies pa
trolled the Salt River valley last
night as quiet prevailed following
the bombing of two japanese farms
early yesterday morning in the lat
est outbreak of violence directed
against the alleged Oriental alien
farmers.
One unconfirmed report reaching
the office of j. Tamura, secretary
Of the Japanese Association here
said that a farm worked by Nip
ponese had been flooded about mid
night last night causing consider
able damage to crops. Details were
lacking. The report had not been
made to the sheriff's office.
Sheriff John R. McFadden order
ed group of picked officers armed
with sawed-off shot guns, to patrol
the valley district last night search
ing for the might riders that
have thrown terror and fear into
the humble Shacks and homes of
the OrientalS and Hindus living in
the valley. So
The sporadic outbursts of the past
week is the elimination of threats
issued more than a month ago by
white farmers in the district against
the alleged aliens taking up farm
lands in the valley in violation of
the state alien land law. This law
prohibits aliens from owning or
leasing lands in Arizona.
At the present time there are ID
criminal actions on file in the super
ior court involving nine japanese
and Hindu farmers and five prom
inent white farmers and concerns
Along with these are Is civil actions
filed against alleged aliens and
white property owners charged with
subterfuge in evading the alien land
| laws.
No dates have been set for any
of the trials. REM L. Jennings, Ma
ricopa county attorney has assured
| the Japanese Association here that
should arrests be made in connec
ton with the recent reign of terror
the parties will be prosecuted to the
fullest extent of the law.
Gov. B. B. Moeur said this morn
ing he had not been officially mott
fled of the acts of violence, bu'
would take every precaution against
further actions of disgruntled farm
ers in the valley.
Officials of the Anti-A Alien ASsoci
alton, who took the first steps il
the disputes of property rights coulc
not be reached today for a state
ment.
In previous statements they
charged that the japanese farm
erS, working land involving severa
| thousand acres in the valley on 6
share basis, were underselling the
white farmers and refused to com
ply with price figures on produce
and vegetables.

While the citizens committee met
again to consider a definite plan OF
rehabilitation, Nome sobered to the
serious realization of Mondays cat

of the first two days.
Business men, their stocks wiped
out or depleted, waited for informa-

be replaced adequately before the

Complete checks OF damage dis
closed that few escaped losses. The
laundry tailor shops and hotels le-
veled by the blaze contained belong
ings of many whose homes escaped
destruction. Many residents saved
only the clothing they wore, with no
chance of immediate replacement.
The high wind that sent hund-
red foot flames across the city had
subsidized today to a gentle breeze
accompanied by heavy rainfall
which quickly extinguished the
smouldering ruins, and made the

Sinclair and old-line Democrats
came to a election showdown
today as eight political parties con-
vened their state conventions for
the purpose of building platforms
and formulating final plans for the
November campaigns.
The battle of Sinclairism VS.. regu-
lar Democracy overshadowed any
impending developments in the Re-
publican, Progressive, Prohibition,
Commonwealth, Socialist, Liberty
and Communist parties.
Gov. Frank F.. Merriam was &C
cepted by the Republicans as their
candidate, and a liberal platform
was prepared to carry Merriam's
candidacy to the November elector
ate. The G. o. P. convention, while
having political significance in that
it stepped beyond the conservative
ideals exemplified in the past by
Merriam, was considered to be "cut
and dried"
Democrats, on the other hand,
were girded for one Of the most
unique fights the party or state has
experienced.
Sinclair sympathizers insisted
they had enough convention votes
to adopt any kind of platform the
former Socialist wished to present,
But there was a plentiful sprink
ling of old-line Bourbons who en-
phatically said they would not sup
port Sinclair; that they would
bait" him wherever possible; that
they would much rather lose to the
