TENSION IN JAPAN IS INCREASED TOKIO, April 21. — Following close upon the heels of the adoption of a boycott on all California products by the Associated Printers of Tokyo, President E. W. Frazier of the American Association of Tokio temporarily called off the association dinner welcoming the return of Ambassador Woods. The dinner had been set for tomorrow night and Praxier gave as the reason for postponement the delicate situation which has resulted from passage of the immigration exclusion bill of the U.S.congress. Frazier's action in addition to that of Viscount Kentaro Kaneko in calling off the American-Japanese society dinner Wednesday night served today to bring home to the American community the tenseness of the situation which is increasing every hour. It is understood in the cases of both societies that it is most improbable that the dinner will ever be held because the chief speakers who have dedicated years of service in the establishment of good relations between the United States and Japan feel that under the circumstances they can say no more. The possibility of the passage of the measure serving to cement the Oriental races is seen by some papers here. Former Chinese Minister of Justice Li in Peking is quoted in the Asahi as saying: "Now is the time for China and Japan to shake hands. Your immigrants are unwelcome in America. They can come here. This is no time for the Oriental races to stand apart." The financial phase of the situation is causing uneasiness With Oriental development bonds GROWTH 3691 Eligible To Vote at Presidential Primary, May 6 With 202 more voters registered since the 3485 was reported previous to the city election, registration to date in Anaheim totals 3691, according to County Clerk Joe Backs, and 300 or 400 more may be expected by July 26, when registration for the August primary closes. Four hundred more would bring the aggregate to practically 4100. Figuring three persons to each registered voter, Anaheim has a population of 12,300. The county will have 34,000 registered voters before the August primaries, Baeks estimates, and may go over 40,000 by Oct. 4 when registration for the November elections closes. On that basis the county would have approximately 100,000 people. Registrations and transfers for the presidential-primaries of May 6 closed April 5. The closing date for the August primary on August 26 will be July 26. COOLIDGE STANDS LIKE GIBRALTER HOBOKEN, N. J., April 21.

MEXICO FORESEES JAP IMMIGRATION MEXICO CITY, April 21.—Heavy Japanese immigration into Mexico in the immediate future was forecast today by Salvador Y. Domero, labor leader, who has just returned from the west coast. He reports a large number of Japanese farmers and industrial workers are already headed for Sinaloa: Exclusion of Japanese from the United States now makes Mexico the Japanese choice of residence in the western world. "Various prominent Japanese, including the Japanese minister to Mexico, are making plans for immigration of Japanese to this country," said Romero. "These Japanese colonies will devote themselves to agriculture and industry. Everywhere I went on the west coast I found the Japanese getting along amicably with our people, adapting themselves to our laws and customs. The prejudice felt against the Chinese who enter into competition with our own laborers was lacking." HARBOR HEARING A public hearing will be conducted May 5 on Orange-o harbor at Santa Ana before Maj. E. D. Ardery, U.S. army engineer for the Los Angeles district. The hearing will be similar to a previous conference. Major Ardery seeks more arguments in favor of federal aid before transmitting his report to Washington. He doesn't know when his report will be forwarded nor how soon action might be expected by congress.

Rose died a few minutes later. The slayer was the father of Frank Sexton, slain in Chicago's taxicab war June 6, for whose killing Rose was to be tried. The trial had been continued by Judge Hosea W. Wells just before the shooting of Rose. Crowds in the corridor of the county building stood agast as Rose fell. Patrick Sexton, the killer, surrendered without resistance. His wife and 19-year-old daughter, who were with the old man, were also taken into custody.

LOS ANGELES, April 21. — While representatives from the farm bureau of San Diego, Imperial, Riverside, San Bernardino and Orange-cos met at San Bernardino today to determine whether or not a germ proof ring should be placed by those counties around Los Angeles-co because of the hoof and mouth disease, the Los Angeles Union Stockyards, under strict federal inspection, operated today for the first time since inauguration of the strict quarantine regulations by the state authorities and the national department of agriculture. The stockyards were permitted to receive shipments of beef cattle and other animals for slaughter on provision that all livestock is killed within 48 hours after arrival. Both the packing houses and stockyards were allowed to open only after a thoro disinfection. ENFORCEMENT IN COUNTY STIFFENS Enforcement of the foot and mouth quarantine yesterday in Orange-co and near the boundary on thru highways was stricter than ever. George C. Sloop, inspector under A. A. Brock, county horticultural commissioner, indicated today. Sloop had 16 guards at work covering the north and west sections of the county, including the state highway near Northern Station, Los Alamitos and all dirt roads entering main boulevards. Several arrests were made. Many more might have been made, but for alleged "lost keys". Some of these latter involved bootleggers in Sloop's opinion, but the inspector has been forced to confine the efforts of his men to the foot and mouth quarantine exclusively.

Some of these latter involved bootleggers in Sloop's opinion, but the inspector has been forced to confine the efforts of his men to the foot and mouth quarantine exclusively. If booze, narcotics, etc., were added, the work would never be accomplished, and the enforcement of the quarantine seriously hampered. Sloop declared that no new cases had been found except in areas already infected, with Orange-co still entirely free. The inspector appeared to be much encouraged over the outlook. OREGON TO INVESTIGATE SALEM, Ore., April 21.—Oregon will make an immediate and thorou investigation of the hoof and mouth disease in California before taking any action toward lifting present embargoes on California products.

Staff Correspondent) WASHINGTON, April 21. Rep. Frederick H. Gillett, speaker of the House, appeared to before the Wheeler-Brooklyn committee to defend himself against the charge that he received confiscated liquor from partment of justice agents. Gillett branded the story: "absolutely false." He wasmitted to cross examine H. Scalfe, former department of Justice agent, who had made charge. Gillett demanded to know where Scalife got his information that the confiscated liquor sent to his office. "From Representative Wruff of Michigan," Scalfe said. "Did Woodruff tell you I received liquor from the department of justice?" Gillett demanded. "Yes, and from other persons said Scalife." "What did Woodruff tell you I the receipts to show the dispition of this liquor." "Did you see them?" "No. Judge Daniel T. Wriff said the records of the department showed a trunk of liquor was sent to your office," said Scalife. "Do you deny that?" "I certainly do," said Gillett. When Scaliffe attempted to question Gillett further, she said: "I'm not on trial here. I try you were going to answer questions." When Scalffe tried to tell other liquor deals, the committee stopped him and Gillett took stand in his own defense.

Ward, 30, of Orange, a former quarantine officer in the Santa Ana canyon road between Orange and Riverside, is in jail charged with assault with a deadly weapon, and Deputy Sheriff Jack Meek has a wound in his left arm and possesses a bullet which stopped in a book of game laws which he carried in his pocket. Meek was shadowing the River-side-co guard early yesterday morning. It had been charged that autoists were being robbed of liquor and valuables and Meek and Leo Krooner, a quarantine inspector, hid in the bushes to see if such irregularities were being committed. Soon they saw two women drive up, stop, and soon all disappeared in the bushes, and became very noisy. In the meantime two trucks, with their cargoes covered with canvass, passed by with no guards on the job, and it is suspected they carried loads of liquor. As the quartet returned to the highway, drinking the meantime, one of them sighted a man in the grass and fired. The man was Meek. Ward will have his hearing in Santa Ana today. STANTON MAY BE DISINCORPORATED At this week's meeting of Stanton council the question of disincorporation was brot up by W. H. Kennedy and J. Broady. The town was incorporated a number of years ago to forestall the placing of Anaheim's sewer farm in the vicinity. Since Anaheim has abandoned its sewer farm on the Garden Grove-rd, is using the new outfall sewer and has sold its 73-acre farm at Stanton, there seems to be a strong feeling that there is no longer need of Stanton being incorporated.

McCready, 23, both oil workers at Signal Hill and living in Long Beach, enjoyed Easter Sunday seeing how closely they could drive to autos they passed without causing total annihilation to the cargoes of humanity each carried. They were accompanied on the interesting drive by a womman who gave her name as E. Smith, and claimed to be a report-er on a Los Angeles paper. Near Garden Grove they crashed against the car driven by C. Smith of Long Beach, badly damaging his car. Not stopping, they had another playful experience near the Huntington BeacWestminister-bivd, as they crashed into the rear of a car standing off the highway. Three brothers named Schlanobitch and their cousin had stopped to get gas at the station, Henry standing near the tank on the rear of the auto. He was struck by the oilmen's car and sustained a broken leg. The destruction bent auto kept merrily on its way, but was followed by two of the boys who vowed to "beat them up." Thomas Martin, a special deputy, appeared and placed the men under arreal. The woman was taken to Long Beach for investigation. It is claimed the woman and the oilmen were intoxicated.
