JAPAN FILE VIGOROUS PROTEST Criticizes Provisions New Immigration Bill Now in Congress WASHINGTON, April 11. PLANNED Task of Obtaining Rights Of Way Will Follow, Says Schumacher J. L. McBride, county superintendent of highways, today was instructed by Supervisor W. M. Schumacher to begin surveying the Orange co. section of the new airline highway from Los Angeles to West Anaheim along the So. Pac. The task of obtaining rights of way and organizing an improvement district will follow. Schumacher's action followed a meeting last night at the Norwalk C. of C., attended by representatives of most of the communities in the county and near the boundary. The supervisor of the third district was made chairman of a committee including Jake Schumacher of Anaheim, Secretary G. F. Raymer of the Fullerton C. of C., Secretary Charles E. Lee of the Placentia C. of C., Roy Garvin of Buena Park, Supervisor Leon Whitsell of Orange, Supervisor S. H. Finley of Santa Ana and Norwalk and Downey representatives. The committee will meet again at Schumacher's call. An assessment district, with the county furnishing patr of the cost, is the plan now being mentioned for the road. The right of way will measure 50 feet and the paving itself 27 feet at the start. Just the course to be followed in Orange co. is not certain, but it parallel the So. Pac. within 50 to 400 feet. In Los Angeles co. the So. Pac. also will be paralleled, connecting up with the present Manchester ave at its terminus. STINNES SON TO HEAD AFFAIRS BERLIN, April 11.—Hugo Stinnes death today held public interest overshadowing even the Dawes report. There is fear of a serious repercussion upon national economics. The general feeling is that his gigantic interests depended too much upon his master hand to be guided by others. This was reflected in the disastrous slump of all Stinnes stocks. Stinnes realized the certainty of his death yesterday morning when he called his four sons to the bedside. CANDIDATES COME DOWN STRETCH City council candidates were coming down the home stretch today for the bi-annual municipal election Monday, E. H. Metcalf, Emory Knipe, Dean Hasson and A. A. Slaback, whose stock has always been the best buy, are steadily climbing in public favor because of their outspoken opposition to the Stark administration and their platform of a "Progressive Anaheim and Clean, Efficient Government." While an almost solid vote will be cast for the four, it was predicted today that if any candidate leads it will be Metcalf, recognized generally as a most efficient public official as has been demonstrated locally by his work upon the grammar school board. Before coming to Anaheim he had experience in the Montana legislature. So successful in his private business as an engineer that he could retire while still in the prime of life, he has ample time to give to public affairs. Emory Knipe, his running mate for the four-year term, is the progressive owner of a large citrus ranch. He has had extensive business experience, including building operations, and is a U. of C. graduate. Dean Hasson, associated with the Anaheim Laundry, is a long-time resident of Anaheim, has a fine personality and executive ability. He was formerly chief of the fire department. A. A. Slaback, businessman and leading independent grocer of Anaheim, would bring unlimited enthusiasm to the council. He is adapted to hard and intelligent consideration of public affairs. PROTEST Criticizes Provisions New Immigration Bill Now in Congress WASHINGTON, April 11.—Japanese government has filed vigorous protest with the United States against the provisions of new immigration bill now pending in congress, it was announced the state department today. Notes exchanged between two governments were read to senate this afternoon by Senator Colt, Republican of Rhode Island during the debate on the immigration bill. The Japanese note, remarkably blunt for a diplomatic communication, charged that enactment would "seriously offend the Japanese exclusion prophete" of a friendly nation," as intimated strongly that "great consequences" might follow in adoption. The only effect of this phase is the immigration bill, the Japanese ambassador declared, would be to exclude Japanese people per year. "It is indeed difficult to believe," he advises Secretary Hughes, "that it can be the intention of the people of your great country, who always stand for his principles of justice and fair play in the intercourse of nations," resort—in order to secure the annual exclusion of 146 Japanese to a measure which would not only seriously offend the just prides a friendly nation, that has been always earnest and diligent in efforts to preserve the friendship of your people, but would also seem to involve the question of the good faith, and therefore of honor of their government, or least, of its executive branch." The manifest object of exclusion clause, the ambassador said, is "single out Japan as a nation, still matizing them as unworthy and undesirable in the eyes of the American people." The Japanese note, coupled with the reply of Secretary Hughes also served to lay before the senate summary of the nature and purpose of the so-called "gentlemen's agreement." BERLIN, April 11—Hugo Stinnes' death today held public interest overshadowing even the Dawes report. There is fear of a serious repercussion upon national economics. The general feeling is that his gigantic interests depended too much upon his eager hand to be guided by others. This was reflected in the disastrous slump of all Stinnes' stocks. Stinnes realized the certainty of his death yesterday morning when he called his four sons to the bedside. His eldest son, Dr. Edmund Stinnes, 29, will take over his father's administration of affairs. The second son, Hugo, Jr., aged 26, remains head of the Hamburg Shipping Line. The third son is a student and the fourth is still but a boy. Just before his death, Stinnes demanded the simplest possible funeral. Look Up "Doctor's" Record In East LOS ANGELES, April 11—While charges and denials flew thick and fast today in the strange case of "Dr. Albex Tondare," self-asserted "research scientist" alleged to have practiced medicine in So. Calif., without a state license and to have victimized a Pansadena family of $37,000, investigating officers checked back over the career of the debonair "doctor" who was arrested at Orange Tuesday. Officers are expected to interview large eastern cities they have any record of the "scientist." Meanwhile, Mrs. James McFadden, said to be the widow of a pioneer California railroad man and her daughter, Miss Jennie McFadden claimed to have been victims, and prepared to recover their money.

Circulating Library. Bigelow's 308 E. Center. Dean Hasson, associated with the Anaheim Laundry, is a long-time resident of Anaheim, has a fine personality and executive ability. He was formerly chief of the fire department. A. A. Slaback, businessman and leading independent grocer of Anaheim, would bring unlimited enthusiasm to the council. He is adapted to hard and intelligent consideration of public affairs. At considerable expense, the "Good Government League" was mailing out circular letters and sample ballots today. As already forecasted, the ticket is "bob-tailed," that is, while four councilmen are to be elected, only three candidates are endorsed. This is called "single-shooting" and emphasizes the desire to perpetuate the alleged one-man control of civic affairs which has so aroused voters. Stark only needs to elect one other besides himself to retain control. H. P. Campbell issued the following statement today: "To Whom It May Concern: Having read in one of our local publications of the formation of the Good Government League of Anaheim, and that my name was used as one of the organizers of this league, I deem it only fair to myself and the many candidates in the race for the coming election that I state that I attended one meeting before this league was formed. I was not present at the meeting at which it is reported the league was formed and a state of candidates endorsed, and therefore was not a member of the committee forming the league. While I stand ready at all times to advance the best interests of Anaheim, I personally am not interested in politics as I cannot bring myself to the point of being actively interested in the chances of any particular candidate." "H. P. CAMPBELL." PREPARE FOR FIGHT Preparations for a stubborn legal battle at the trial of Dr. R. P. Whitted, Santa Ana dentist charged with a statutory offense were observed today when four days were reserved on the superior court calendar for the trial, which was set to start June 2 at 10 a.m. before Judge F. C. Drumm. Further evidence of the fight to be made to free the dentist was provided by the announcement that Lecompte Davis, noted Los Angeles criminal lawyer, will be associated in the defense with Attorney Clyde Bishop, of Santa Ana. Dr. Whitted appeared in Judge Drumm's court today with his counsel and pleaded not guilty to the charge, which involves a 17-year-old Santa Ana girl.

Miss Nina Myrtle Owens filed a claim for more than $2000 on behalf of her mother who suffered fracture of a limb in January when she stepped into a depression in parkway near the Janass court on E. Center-st. There is some question whether the depression was caused by excavation for water meter, which might indicate responsibility by the city, or for a gas company meter. Specifications were adopted for an Austin single-cylinder and Kelly-Springfield two-cylinder read roller, each weighing about 15 tons and costing a little over $5000. The city has never had a road roller. SENT TO PRISON FOR THIRD TERM Robert W.
