The editors, who use the name Hugo N. Frye (you-go-and-fry) in their fli{)panclel, desiring, as they stated “to settle once and for all the dispute regarding the actual birth place of the Republican party,” sent letters to the Republican leaders. They wrote that “a dinner in honor of the sesqui- centennial of the birth” of Frye was to be held by students here.

Japanese exclusion under the immi- gration act of 1924 will continue to be opposed at Washington. The “Cali- fornia joint immigration committee,” which has long been the spearhead of | th the movement to keep Oriental aliens out of the United States, signals that its attitude remains unchanged. It de- clares that the plan now advocated by Representative Johnson, Republican, of ‘Washington, chairman of the House immigration committee—to place Japan on the quota basis—“was carefully con- sidered by Congress in 192¢ and -re- Jjected.” The California organization, of which V. 8. McClatchy, well known coast newspaper publisher, is the lead- ing spirit, bases its opposition on the theory that the proposed Japanese quota “would destroy the natural and con- sistent barrier erected in the 1924 act against entrance of the unassimilable colored races.” Urges “Stand By Guns.” That the McClatchy group does not represent Pacific Coast sentiment in its entirety is shown by a telegram just received by Representative Johnson from J. J. Donovan, prominent Belling- ham, Wash, lumber man, capitalist and traveler. The tel reads: “Your announced proposal to have Ja- mupheed on the immigration quots is timely and just. A resolution to that effect was adopted unanimously and with enthusiasm by the foreign trade convention assembled at Los An- geles last Priday, which included 2,000 um over half of whom were from the ic Coast. Stand by your guns.” Representative Johnson assures this writer that the foreign' trade conven- , espec usiness opinion, through- out Washington, Oregon and California. “The ancient hostility to the Japanese.” Mr. Johnson says, “may not have fully evaporated among the men in the street, but it is no longer rampant among the solid people of the Coast States. Among these classes, the feel- ing almost universally is that what I now propose should have been done long ago. It would have been done at the time the 1924 immigration act was passed, but events moved so rapidly, especially in the Senate, on the heels of certain developments of which all the world now knows, that it could not be accomplished. Japan Has Nominal Quota. “Japan already has a nominal quota of 100 immigrants entitled to enter our country. Quota privileges might in- crease the possible total to 190 or 200 under the national origins provisions, which are now the law of the land. I am wholly confident that a quota for Japan will in no way undermine the basic principles which form the bone and sinew of our immigration policy. There is no intention to let the bars down so as to permit the entry of aliens whom we consider undesirable from the ‘un- assimilable’ standpoint.” Advices reaching Washington from ‘Tokio reflect the utmost enthusiasm in Japan over the Johnson proposal. The Japanese authorities have already point- ed out that they are concernec hardly at all with the number of their nationals entitled to enter the United States. ‘What interests the Japanese government and people is the fact that they are now, under the Johnson plan, to have re- moved from themselves the stigma which exclusion places on them. For six years they have held it to be an in- tolerable affront to their national pride. Year after year, as the Nation’s foreign licy was elucidated in the Tokio Par- mmznt by the Japanese foreign minis- ter, no matter to waht party he be- longed, he has reminded the world that Japan looked upon exclusion as an open wound.

Blaine replied the committee had Darrow in Detroit. Questioned by Senator Walsh, Demo- crat, of Montana, the witness sald his salary was $6,000 a year, while Dr. Wil- son received $7,500.

In addition to the $135,000 annual budget of the board, Pickett said it re- ceived some times as much as $15,000 & year in direct contributions from sources other than the church.

Pickett said he wished the board could have distributed ten times.as much lit- erature about Alfred E. Smith as it did. “We didn’t bring the prohibition is- sue into the campaign,” he said. “He did it. Everybody knows we were against him.” Questioned by Blaine, the witness sald the board did not file with Con- gress the cost of “the clip sheet” in which the Smith literature was dis- tributed.

The remedies developed by this conference must, therefore, rest for their final effectiveness upon the :lcuon of t.!::d sz‘:zes and the oommurg- les, suppor every possible way by e great body of citizenship. “1 appreciate the response shown from all parts of the country in the assembly of this conference, and I am confident that by consistent application of the recommendations which you will develop there may come a distinct bet- terment in the conditions of our street and highway traffic. On your efforts thus largely hinges the safety and well being of a large percentage of our peo- ple. I congratulate you upon what you have already accomplished and as- sure you of my best wishes for the success of your further efforts. And I bespeak for you the earnest co-opera- tion of every citizen.” Lamont Presides. Robert P. Lamont, Secretary of Com- merce, presided over the conference as its chairman at the opening meeting, which was held in the council cham- ber of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States. Summarizing the reports of various committees, he said that reports on automobile traffic “read like those of a war conducted on many fronts. Reports from the traffic fronts leave no doubt as to the seriousness of the situation.” inting out that motor vehicle fa- talities have steadily increased from 12,500 in 1920 to 31,000 in 1929, Secre- tary Lamont said, “There is a special need for development among our peo- Ple for such a sense of values that the lure of speed will be properly subordi- nated to the right of others to reason- able and safe enjoyment of the use of our streets and highways.” Some Encouraging Signs. ‘There are some encouraging signs, notably in the improvement in 'Sw traf- fic fatality record among children and the number of railway grade cmslins accidents, Mr. Lamont said. He adde: however, that on the whole, the traffi accident records “is not encouraging. ‘The delegates were welcomed by Wil- liam P. Butterworth, president of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, and Thomas P. Henry, presi- dent of the American Automobiie Asso- ciation, both of whom pledged their co- operation to the conference. Delegations from States as far West as Washington were present, with the largest groups from New York, New Jersey and Penn- sylvania. “In view of the emphatic and wide- spread demand for uniform and effec- tive traffic laws,” Mr. Lamont said, “it must be said that progress today ap- pears far from adequate.” In this connection, Mr. Lamont em- phasized that the uniform vehicle code, which was adopted in 1926, has been adopted in whole or in gt.m" by 23 States, adding that an effort should be made to encourage adoption of the code by all the State governments. ‘This code, dealing with motor vehicle registration, cerufication of titles, li- censing of operators and chauffeurs and regulation of the operation of vehicles on the highways, was before the confer- ence with few recommendations of change, Betore discussing it, a drafting com- mittee, composed of representatives of all of the affiliated organizations pres- ent, was appointed to prepare such reso- lutions as the conference may adopt at its closing meeting Thursday. Committees on traffic accident sta- EVENING tistics and on uniform traffic regulation were presented to the conference today, the first showing that the total number of persons injured in traffic accidents last year was estimated at 1,200,000, with 1,000,000 hurt by motor vehicles and the total traffic fatalities having in- creased 8.2 per cent over the previous year. The traffic fatality rate per 100,- 000 population rose steadily from 16, in !l:éfl, to 272, in 1929, the committee Trolley Fatalities Fall Off. Fatalities due to street car accidents showed a gradual downward tendency from 1920 to 1929 and the committee said that “the outstanding factor in the alarming growth in the traffic accident problem is the intensive and extensive utilization of the automobile” The committee said statistics indi- cate that more than 50 per cent of the idents occur at street intersections, pplying a clew as to where safety activities should be centered.” *‘Crossing the street at intersections” was said to be the most productive cause of death to pedestrians, with “crossing the street between intersec- tions ranking second” and “at play in the street ranking third.” Secretary Lamont pointed out that in the last seven years, while adult fatalities were more than doubling, those of children increased by less than 25 per cent. utable to safety education schools,” he said, “and to the successful operation of schoolboy patrols in safe- guarding children on'their way to and from schools.” Schoolboy patrols are maintained in several of Washington’s schools and have been described as greatly success- ful by both school and trafic officials. The committee on traffic accident statistics told the conference that fatalities caused by vehicles other than automobiles :g‘p.e-red to be on the de- , and it the major problem in street and highway safety revolves around the automobile. Adults of 55 degree in pedestrian accidents, the committee said, adding that “in & grow- ing number of cities it has been found practicable and desirable to provide & special aceident investigation bureau, or squad in the Police irtment to visit immediately the scene of every important street accident, taking photo- graphs and exact measurements of the position and course of vehicles and noting any other cond; having a bearing on the matter,” “This improvement is largely attrib- in the] PLANS APPROVED House Group Acts on Prohi- bition and Court Conges- tion Program. ‘The HousSe judiclary committee yes- terday approved a modified law enforce- ment commission program to expedite prohibition cnforcement - and relieve Federal court congestion by defining misdemeanors under the Jones law and authorizing their summary prosecution before United States commissioners. After four months of deliberation, the committee agreed on three bills de- signed to carry out the commission’s recommendations, The measures were approved in a supplemental report sub- mitted by Chairman George W. Wicker- sham of the commission and Attorney General Mitchell. However, the bills do not grant broad discretionary powers to district attorneys and United States commissioners as originally recommend- ed in the report submitted to Congress in January by President Hoover. The Stobbs bill to amend the Jones Iaw to fix the maximum punishment for misdemeanor violations at six months’ imprisonment and a fine of $500, defines & misdemeanant as one who is not a habitual violator and who has in his possession, sells or transports not more than a gallon of liquor. Amends U. S. Code. The first of the other two bills by Representative Christopherson, Repub- lican, South Dakota, amends the United States code, defining a felony as an offense which may call for punishment of not less than a year's imprisonment, and misdemeanors calling for a maxi- mum penalty of six months in jail, & $500 fine or both. ‘Under the second Christopherson bill summary prosecution of offenses de- fined as misdemeanors under the Stobbs amendment and the first Christopherson amendment, is authorized before Dnited States commissioners. It authorizes prosecution by complaint of information without a jury, but sets out that a Federal judge must either confirm or disapprove the commis- sioners’ recommendations. Under it the dgl;tlast '.hlel.wrnex Jcannot ref:r’ an accus grand jury on a felony charge after he has entered a plea before a commissioner. However, this measure would not affect the case of a violator who is bound over to the grand jury by the commissioncr, Legislation Monstrosity. Chairman Graham was instructed by the committee to expedite consideration of the measures in the House along with measures to authorize the ap- pointment of 17 additional Federal dis- trict judges to relieve congestion in various courts, Immediately after the bills were re- ported Representative La Guardia, Re- publican, New York, described the pro- gram as a “legislative monstrosity.” “The entire Anglo-Saxon idea of trial by jury is abruptly brushed aside,” the New Yorker said. “‘Under the guise of seeking to relieve conditions in the Fed- eral courts, they have provided rubber- mm{; justice, long-distance testimony and trial by correspondence.” He added that the amendment to the Jones law was “the only constructive piece of leg- islation offered, and the crime commis- sion accepted that dgingly.” La Guardia said he would file & mi- nority report.

It was passed by Congress after Presi- Hoover had recommended the transfer, Under it the enforcement duty will be takén from the Treasury for the first time since the prohibition law became efective. = Secretary Mellon will share with the Attorndy General, however, the responsibility for controlling industrial alcohol, and Dr. James M.

The assistant chief of naval opera- tions, Rear Admiral W. H. Standley, told the foreign relations committee that if it were left to him he would bufld nothing but 8-inch-gun cruisers. Most of the Navy men have centered their objections to the treaty on the flllovllwnl limiting America to 18 8- ch-gun cruisers. Capt. J. R.

NEW YORK, May 27.—Jewels valued at $300,000 were in possession of police today as the result of a raid on & room in the Hotel Commodore, in which a woman and four men were arrested. Brooches, bracelets and rings set with diamonds, rubies and other gems were seized. Police Commissioner Mulrooney said he considered the prisoners to be mem- bers of an international gang of jewelry thieves and the gems part of $1,000,000 worth of loot which they have taken in the last few months, Lieut. of Detectives Richard Oliver and Detective Daniel R. Ryan, who had been trailing one of the suspects for nine weeks, smashed the locked door of the hotel room yesterday and found the five sitting about a table, on which the jewelry was spread out. The most valuable of the 26 pleces was a ring set with an oblong diamond of 17 carats valued at $40,000. As the detectives entered, covering the gang with their pistols, one of the men made a motion as though throwing something out of the window, and the woman stuffed a slip of paper into her mouth and swallowed it. ‘The prisoners gave their names as James W. Watson, 40 years old: Hilda Carter, 34; George Cole, 42; William J, O'Connor, 41, of Buffalo, and Jack Rosen, 38. Watson and the woman re- fused to tell their addresses, Cole and Rosen gave New York addresses. Com- missioner Mulrooney said he believed the jewels represenied part of the loot in robberies of two Miami Beach, Fla,, hotels last February. Police also expressed the belief that the loot might include some of the {welry taken in the hold-uj of the jewelry establishment of J s mad h , Pobeny o o anuary 17, , and the rol of & re-nuptial dinner in the home of harles F.
