LAWYERS REFUSE Japan Will Not Make War on OPPORTUNITY TO REASSURE AMERICANS "Damage to Nipponese Is Abstract and Unmaterial" WASHINGTON, April 17.—The Sister States Will Co-operate With Cal. LOS ANGELES, April 17.—Sister states will co-operate with California in her battle with the hoof and mouth disease, Governor Louis S. Hart told So. Calif., business men at a luncheon at the Biltmore Hotel. Governor Hart said he had conferred with Governor Richardson at Sacramento. He is trying to establish what is a carrier of the disease. William Clary, attorney for the traffic commission who represented Judge Robert Clark at the luncheon, said the Los Angeles city charter is not adequate. He advocated important changes, giving the mayor increased power; improving the budget system and more efficient traffic regulation. OPTIMIST ON GADDI OIL WELL Official Declares Doubt Producer W Be Developed "We're more optimistic" "Damage to Nipponese Is Abstract and Unmaterial" WASHINGTON, April 17.—The Japanese government will shortly find an opportunity to assure the United States formally that the term "grave consequences" used in Ambassador Hanihara's letter to Secretary of State Hughes was not intended as a threat, despite the interpretation placed on the phrase by the senate in passing the Japanese exclusion amendment. Whether this assurance will come in the form of a communication from Tokio or merely by another letter to Mr. Hughes from Ambassador Hanihara was not made clear today, but it was said that further correspondence is necessary to clear up what is described in diplomatic circles as "an unfortunate phrase" resulting in an equally "unfortunate incident." It is unlikely that whatever explanations are forthcoming from the Japanese foreign office will have any effect in removing the ban on Japanese immigration in the new immigration bill. The temper of congress and particularly the senate, toward the exclusion of Japanese was strikingly manifested by the 71 to 4 vote by which the senate ratified the amendment. The senate seldom displays that much unanimity toward anything. Secretary of State Hughes, however, will not allow the exclusion amendment to stand without a protest, and it seemed certain today another conflict between the state and the state department, the two treaty-making agencies of the government, is inevitable. Mr. Hughes planned to see President Coolidge during the day and to impress upon him the "unfortunate situation" that American diplomacy will confront in the Far East because of ruffled Japanese feelings. That Mr. Hughes will recommend a presidential veto of the exclusion act is accepted as a foregone conclusion. The senate, however, is prepared for a conflict with Mr. Hughes on the subject. And it would not be surprising if debate is renewed, that Mr. Hughes himself will be charged by influential remorsals with being partly responsible for the Hanihara letter. NOW PLAN TO ANNEX 155 ACRES A tentative map of the big tract north of the city, annexation of which will be put up to the city dads, following the circulation of a petition by residents, provides for a tract of 155 acres, including not only the Chrystal Chemical Co. which was a prime mover in the active agitation for annexation but the former sugar factory's site and grounds and the Anaheim Beef Co. John Ruether of the beef company, is favorable to annexation, if the tract comes in as an industrial and manufacturing site, but not otherwise. It would be brought in as such, Secretary George W. Reid of the C.O.C. declared. Ruether wants the sewer facilities. The ordinance will not be framed until the petition is circulated and signed. There now appears to be no opposition within the tract to the proposed annexation. Residents adjoining will also be glad to have the district annexed, because sewer facilities will end alleged foul odors. The situation of Vernon, regarded as an ideal industrial and manufacturing center, has been studied in connection with the an- OIL WELL Official Declares Doubt Producer Will Be Developed "We're more optimistic ever about the Gaddie well," of the leading men connected development said today. "We spent more than $100,000 to the information we have and well satisfied." The well cost eventually $000 to $150,000 this man added. The Gaddie people own leases of the Midas Oil Co., the Valencia Oil Co. and need of the latter will drill wells less the Gaddie Well No. 1 co-in. However, according to their fiscal, there isn't the slight doubt of a producing well. The state commissioner of portations has declined to issue permit to the Midas, which will drill on the Huttenlocker rail until the Gaddie well is broiled in.

The senate, however, is prepared for a conflict with Mr. Hughes on the subject. And it would not be surprising if debate is renewed, that Mr. Hughes himself be charged by influential remonants with being partly responsible for the Hanshara letter. The letter of the Japanese ambassador, telling Mr. Hughes that "grave consequences" might result from passage of the exclusion legislation, was forwarded to the Senate only a short time after its receipt by the secretary of state—indicating to some senatorial minds that Secretary Hughes was fully aware of the contents of the letter beforehand so that he did not need to give it the detailed consideration and study that so important a diplomatic commission usually receives. Straightening out a parliamentary tangle in order to prepare for a final vote fixing the new immigration quota, the senate adopted an amendment by Senator Willis, republican of Ohio, making the rate 1 per cent of the 1910 alien population. The vote was 54 to 25. By a vote of 47 to 32, the senate this afternoon passed an amendment to the immigration bill placing quotas at one per cent of the 1890 population. Senator Harris, Dem., of Georgia, however, immediately offered a substitute amendment raising the quotar to two per cent. TOKIO, April 17.—While popular demonstrations may be expected and political capital be made of the passage by U.S. congress of the Japanese exclusion measure, discussion of war possibilities is apparently strongest in Washington as in only isolated and unimportant cases has such sentiment appeared here. "The congressional action is unfair and inconsistent with justice, humanity and Christianity," declared Tokichi Tenaka, vice minister of the foreign office under Baron Uchida and a student of American affairs, in an exclusive interview with the newspaper.

LINE NEEDLES, April 17.—Sixteen hundred people, in 800 autos, returning to eastern homes, were held up here this afternoon by the quarantine law Arizona placed against California because of the hoof and mouth disease. It was expected the people would seek a special dispensation from the governor of Arizona allowing them to pass thru a small section into Nevada. Mayor C. E. Stauter of Needles telegraphed county supervisors at San Bernardino the seriousness of the situation and asked that a supply of groceries be sent at once. (Continued on Page Two) THEFT CASE Trial Will Open Tuesday Before Judge Bledsoe in Los Angeles Attorneys W. F. Menton of Santa Ana and W. I. Gilbert of Los Angeles, who will defend J. R. Abernathy and Charles R. Wheeler, accused of stealing $25,000 from Anaheim mails Dec. 27, are marshaling their evidence today, preparatory to the trial which opens at 10 a.m. Tuesday. "The defense will depend upon what the prosecution brings out," Attorney Menton said. He and Gilbert are prepared for emergencies, however, and the latter announced that 15 to 20 had been subpoenaed as witnesses. It is considered doubtful that any of Wheeler's associates in the postoffice will be purely defence witnesses. U. S. Judge Benjamin Bledsoe of Los Angeles will sit in the case and it is considered probable that a special prosecutor will be used by the government in addition to Deputy U. S. Dist. Atty Graham, who acted at the arraignment. Attorney J. U. Hemmil, charged with helping to dispose of stolen property, may again be represented by Former Judge W. H. Thomas of Santa Ana. Wheeler, Abernathy and J. L. Finalley were returned to the Orange-co jail immediately after their arraignment. The prisoners are said to be in good condition physically.

Frank Lloyd who directed "Ashes of Vengeance," Within the Law," "Oliver Twist" INVESTIGATE FITNESS OF WHEELER (By William K. Hutchinson) (L. N. S. Staff Correspondent) WASHINGTON, April 17—A senate committee, headed by Senator Borah, Republican of Idaho, today examined a number of witnesses in an effort, technically, to determine whether Senator Burton K. Wheeler is fit to continue in office, because of the indictment recently returned against him in his home state. Wheeler is charged with accepting money to represent clients before government departments while a senator of the United States. He charges his indictment was a "frameup" engineered because of his activities in investigating the department of justice. Gordeon Campbell, Montana geologist indicted jointly with Wheeler, was the principal witness. He said he had employed the senator to represent him in some receivership litigation in the Montana state courts, paying him a retaining fee of $2000 but denies the employment entailed Wheeler's acting for him before the department of interior. Telegrams that passed between Wheeler in Washington and Campbell in Montana were laid before the committee, disclosing that Wheeler had "taken up" several matters with the department for Campbell. These telegrams were produced by Wheeler and campbell themselves, and the latter asserted they had been "footed" from his office in Great Kansas by two department of justice agents, accompanied by the great rains postmaster. Said He Wanted Jury to Judge as to Sanity for Themselves PHILADELPHIA, April 17—Harry K. Thaw was given a few brief minutes on the witness stand in his sanity hearing today but he was denied a chance to match his mentality against that of the high priced attorneys opposing his freedom. He wanted to testify—he said he wanted "the jury to judge his sanity for themselves." Thaw's appearance on the stand was dramatic. There was a hush as ex-Judge John Patterson of Thaw's counsel announced that Thaw was ready to testify. Thaw, heavy-faced, his hair low gray, walked briskly to the stand. Patterson asked him a few perfunctory questions, his name, his age. Suddenly, Patterson turned to the opposing lawyers, saying: "Gentlemen, examine." Here was a battle of legal wits—expert lawyers struggling for the upper hand in a duel of minds. The attorneys against Thaw—Arthur Dickson and William A. Gray—consulted. For seven minutes they had their heads together while the spectators waited with great interest. Then Gray snapped: "We have no questions." The court room was astounded. Thaw sat in the witness chair apparently non-plussed. It was evident that Thaw himself was disappointed over his denial of a chance to testify. Thaw's jaw fell when Gray announced he had "no questions." His lawyer, stunned, beckoned him from the witness chair. Thaw's jaw was falling; he slipped and almost staggered as he left the stand. He appeared to be a bewildered, broken, faltering man. Attorneys opposing Thaw's sanity plea called Dr. Earl Bond, physician in charge of the Pennsylvania hospital where Thaw has been confined seven years. Dr. Bond questioned by Attorney Arthur G. Lickson, chief of defense counsel, declared that in his estimation Harry K. Thaw "has not been restored to a sound state of mind" and "it is not safe for him or the community that he Adapted from Rafael Sabatini's colorful romantic drama of English knight and Barbary corsairs "The Sea Hawk" is said to teem with thrilling action and sweet romance from the first scene to the final fade out.
