TUESDAY, AUGUST 1, 1 THE §S ATTLE STAR NIPPONESE (WE HELP MR. HOPPE, WHO.WANTS TO BE SHOWN | MARTIAL LAW TO OPPOSE EXPULSION Japan's Ambassador Warns, America That California Move Means Trouble BY A. L. BRADFORD WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.—Secre- | tary of State Colby has been told by Ambassador Shidehara that enact ment in California of proposed legis: | lation prohibiting land holding by Japanese will cause a wave of anti American sentiment in Japan, it was learned today. While Colby and Shidehara refuse to report the nature of conversations + constantly going on between them, it is known both governments are; alarmed over the prospect of the Cal-| ifornia measure becoming a law | Ambassador Shidehara will argue | the proposed California legisiation vi olates the spirit of the “gentlemen's agreement” between the United States and Japan, it is believed Under this agreement Japan under. took voluntarily to prohibit immigra- tion to this country. According to the Japanese view. point, this agreement was entered into with the understanding that Japanese already here would not be discriminated against. The Japanese government also pro- hibited the “picture bride” practice recently as a concession to the United States, tt ts said. It has been stated that the United States government can not prevent the vote on the land measure in Call. fornia, but it was admitted today that the state department could prob- abiy influence the trend of this vote. cee CALIFORNIANS PLAN BIG VOTE AGAINST JAPS SACRAMENTO, Cal, Aug. 31.— ‘The state department can't prevent the voters of California from pass- ing the antiJapanese initiative meas- ure in°November by @ big majority. That's the unanimous opinion of leaders here in the antiJapanese fight. “I do not believe it likely that the state department would try to influ-| ence the vote,” said Senator J. M., Inman, president of the Oriental Ex-) clusion league, “but if they do, the) department will only increase the majority the bill will receive. No, power onearth can block this meas- ure. This is the last time we are going to be interfered with by Wash- ington.” “That is another absurdity,” said John 8. Chambers, state controller. “The state department, President ‘Wiison nor anyone else can prevent the measure from going thru. Any effort on the part of Washington to influence the vote will result in more voting for the measure. We are free American citizens. The measure will be carried 90 to 1.” <-* ad better not try it,” sid nm Benedict, member of the So, Mr. O. H.

At 9 o'clock that night Tom Mer win stepped cautiously out of the smi! frame house in which he lived It was near the edge of the little town, and few citizens were in the neighborhood at that hour.
