People of western states are “en- titled to know and know now” what disposition of the Japanese settlement problem is made in the tentative Shidehara - Mofris treaty, Senator Johnson, republican, California. de- clared today in a formal statement. He reiterated that the treaty in effect repeals the California alien land laws. Senator Johnson added that press reports “purporting to emanate from authoritative sources” confirmed his | belief that the repeal of the anti-alien llaws is involved in the treaty, and | that Secretary of State Colby “is mis- informed” in denving it. Mr. Johnson's Statement. The statement follows: “The Secretary of State says that my comment upon the tentative agreements made by Ambassadors Shidehara and Mortis is based upon an ‘erroneous assumption,’ and that the dangers hich 1 suggest do not present themselves in those agree- ments. My comment was induced by press reports purporting to cmanate from authentic sources. From these I stated a treaty had been tentatively agreed upon which in effect repealed the California alien land laws. “The Secretary of State says in sub- stance this is not so. Either the press reports are erroneous er Mr. Colby is misinformed. 1 am constrained to believe that Mr. Colby is in error. “But a controversy between the Secretary of State and myself as to what is contained in the report of Ambassodar Morris is of no conse- quence. The contents of the report are allimportant. Mr. Colby has the report. The people of the west, to whom this subject js of paramount importance, are entitled to know what that report contains. Being Discussed in J “Yesterday it was discussed at length in Japan. Our people should not have to await its detail through Japanese news chanmels. It is not gufficient that the representatives from California or the foreign rela- tions committee, under a promise of secrecy, should finally know what dis- position is intended to be made of the agricultural lands of California and other western states. The people of these western states are entitled to know it, and entitled to know it now. “The grave question here is not whether 1 am right in saying thata treaty has been presented which in effect repeals our alien land laws, or whether Mr. Colby is right in saying that no such draft of a treaty has been presented. The matter is far beyond any personal controversy. The ques- tion is, what has been done on the subject in which the, west is most in- terested and which most intimately concerns the west's future. And the west should be told forthwith.” PANIC MAY RESULT FROM BANKRUPTING ROADS, BOARD TOLD (Continued from First Page.) normal rules and working conditions would be a distinet violation of the promises of President Wilsen to in- vestors of railway seaurities when the carflers were taken over by the Federal Rallroad Administration in clared. he said, that their rights and inter- ests would be scrupulously guarded by the government as they had been iby the directors of the rail systems, and that federal control would be ear- ried on with as little disturbance as possible of the personnel of the roads. Conditional upon the abrogation of the national agreement by the labor board, the roads ask in addition that the basic rates for unskilled labor, fixed at 39 to 433 cents per hour in the award of July, 1920, be imme- diately retracted. e plea is made than inasmuch as rates for unskilled labor n ether industries have been greatly reduced since the award be- came effective, the higher scale on the railroads works to the disadvan- tage of other employers, and ‘bears with grave injustice upon the great body ef our farmers.” The Spall of the rafllway exec- utives i¥ concluded with the declara- tion that “in our judgment, unless the propesed me be taken prompt- ly by your board, a situation will shortly develop in whieh orderly pro- gedure will becwms entirely impossi- an Beard Suggests Comferemce. ent with the ap-|ggt German governm proval of the reparations commission.

Knife Wounds on Body. CLEVELAND, Ohis, January 31.— Miss Qretchen Brandt, thirty-sevenm, was found beaten and stabbed to death today in her roem at the home of her brother-in-law, Dr. Lester Sie- men, with whom she iived. The head was crushed by blows from a blunt instrument, and there were numerous knife wounds on the body. Robbery evidently was the motive for the crime, $500 worth of jewelry being missing.

It would render the la- bors of the board more produetive.” “So far as the railroads are con- cerned,” replied Gen. Atterbury, “we feel that we cannot get together. The views of the two sides are so radically opposed that no good could eome from a _conference.” “De_you mean, then, that the board shouid m its present hearing and take UD your proposals immedi- ately?” asked Judge Barton. “The situation is so urgent that I think that would be the only proper course,” answered Gen.

Nineteen add tional teachers were appointed to o ganize new classes to start tomorrow and to fill existing vacancies. Four of these new teachers were grad- uated from the Wilson Normal School Saturday. ‘The inception of the second semes- ter tomorrow will find all of the white high schools operating on a two-shift system in order to accom- modate the large enrollments. It is estimated that approximately 900 pu- pils promoted from the graded schools are to enter the already over- crowded senior institutions. School officials expressed the be- lief that overcrowding in the ele- mentary schools will not be more serious than during the first seme ter. It was stated that a few iso- lated cases of congestion more seri- ous than at present may arise, due to the shift in population. But, in gen- eral, officers feel that the graded school conditions will not change materially. BISHOP HARDING SPEAKS AT PASTORS’ FEDERATION Describes Convention of Episcopal Clergy in London—Many Re- ports Made at Meeting. Relating the outcome of the grave deliberations resulting from the 1920 Lambeth conference held in London during the past summer, Bishop Al- fred E. Harding addressed the month- 1y meeting of the Pastors’ Federation at New York Avenue Presbyterian Church today. Bishop Harding_described the im- preasive scenes at Westminster Abbey, at which 252 Episcopal bishops from all parts of the world assembled. Rev. G. W. Humphries presided, and after reports had been read from sev- eral committees Mrs. Nanette B. Paul appealed to the federation for aid to help erect a sultable museum for the Mme. Mountfad biblical collection, which she now posseeses. In response to an appeal from the Near East Relief, the executive com- mittee reported that a communication had been sent to the New York or- ganization, promising support to any desire of that body that might be pre- sented to the President or Congress. A petition calling for a better mov- ing picture regulation for the Dis- trict of Columbia was voted to be sent to the District Commissioners. Rev. H. W. O. Millington announced that the Sunday rest bill had been withdrawn from Congress, and blamed the failure of the movement at this time on the extreme methods used by certain reformers. He said that the idea would not die, however, and when the proper time came steps would be taken to carry the work on. —_———— Horses and Mules Smother. RALEIGH, N.

C. Pennsylvania Avenue New lawyers to the number of ninety-flve were created today whea the successful candidates from the recent examinations were admitted to practice before the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia. A session of the court in géneral term was held, with Chief Justice McCoy presiding, and all the associate jystices present. John Paul Earnest, chairman of the bar examiners, moved the admission of the candidates, of whom ten were women and eighty-five men. For the first time in the history of the court a blind man was admitted to the bar. He is Louis G. Taylor, a resident of the Soldiers’ Home, who lost his sight while fighting in his country’ service in the Philippine Islands. Despite this handicap, Ex- aminer FEarnest told the court, Mr. Taylor p: ed an examination that would have done credit to one pos- ing all his faculties, Blind Lawyer Applauded. As the blind soldier took the oath the crowded courtroom, throwing de- eorum to the winds, burst into a round of applause, which the court did_not reprove, Chief Justice McCoy in welcoming the new lawyers said that it had been his intention not to say anything be- yond the mere welcome, but the ad- mission of Mr. Taylor had changed his mind. “This man,” said the chief Jjustice, “has overcome one of the most serious handicaps of life. There is an old saying that ‘None are so blind as those who won't see’ and I hope you all will have your moral sight as you go through the practice of your profession.” List of Those Admitted. /A complete list of those admitted today includes Harriet H.
