ALIENS WASHINGTON, Nov. 19. —A “Popular choice” by Republican voters of their candidate for president in 1924 was demanded by Hiram Johnson. Over a desk piled with telegrams and letters of- fering support for his candidacy, Senator Johnson told callers today that he would make a fight in every state possible against the “hand picking" of delegates to the nation- al convention. E. “My plans are crystallizing,” he said, “but are not at present en- tirely definite. For that reason I will not discuss details now, But I believe the rank and file of the Republican party. has the right to express their preference for their presidential candidate. "I am seeking to have that pref- erence expressed. I'll accept the result with equanimity, but I insist that rank and file shall determine the candidate of that party rather than a few politicians.”” After ‘conferences here and else- the next fortnight Senator m said he hoped to announce details of his campaign, including establishment of headquarters and ers. raed Lo pmes St Lt LATE FLASHES NARTH PLATTE, Neb., Nov. 19} n¢ R-W aerial coupe which left Dayton, Ohio last Tuesday for the Pacifie coast with freight and one passenger, left North Platte Sun- day morning for Cheyenne where it remain a day, leaving Monday upon its trip to the Pacific coast. | --It was reported making the trip n fine shape WASHINGTON, Nov. 19. holding efforts to curtail the preme court. tribunal, aliens, ineligible to citizen- ship can not own stock in a land owning corporation.

The federal district court for northern California had held the contract valid, in that it did not vest in Inouye any interest in real estate but merely made him an employe, whose wages were paid in crops in- stead of in money. In this view the supreme court disagreed, holding that the cropping contract was in effect substantially the same as leasing of land to inell- gible’ altens which had been held invalid. i Justice Butler, delivering the opin- fon in the “cropping” case, said the legal barrier against crop contract was not in conflict with the treaty | with Japan.

AGREED ON AT PARTS MEETING Cabinet Meetings to be Held to Give Approv- al to Principles Out- lined by Ambassadors PARIS, Nov. 19. — An agreement in principle was reached by ‘the representa- tives of the allies assembled in the council of ambassa- dors here today and a break between France and Great Britain on the question of the attitude to be adopted toward Germany was averted, at least temporarily, It was announced that the am. bassadors had agreed tn principle on the measure to be taken toward the resumption of allied military con- trol in Germany. The agreement was subject to the approval of the French and Belgian cabinets at meetings called for the early after- noon. The French cabinet was expect. e@ to approve the formula decided upon by the ambassadors. The Bel- sian ambassador got into communt cation with Brusse’s and was un- derstood to be asking for his gov- ernment’s decision on the new agree ment. The understanding was that the agreement called for sending Ger- many a protest against the lack of factilties she was furnishing for the work of the military control mission, but without mention of what action the allies might take in case Ger- many failed to give the required as- surances of protection for the mis- ston, The French are understood to have rade reservations cn tho suen- tion of the penalties, so that if it should Trove necessary they eoult he free to take seoarate action if they so Cectded, The feeling in some allied quar- ters was that no entirely satisfac. tory text for the note to Germany had been adopted, the decision reached being considered as a mako- shift, taken to prevent the breaking up of the entente and giving the al- les more time to find a solution. The impression in allied political circles ts that the entento is saved for the moment, but stil! s in a pre- cerious situation, at the mercy of the first incident in Germany hos- tile to the mission of control. France, it is believed, will not hesitate to take action in such a case, over- riding all allied objections.
