The “millionatre bandit.” who has Doasted he will never serve the lite sentence imposed upon him, sur rendered without resistance when Sheriff Tracger and seven deputies jurrounded the \ugitives had hidden, Tom Garwood, exsafecracker, had Narbored the refugees, When the officers beat on the door Wilson opened a window and looked into the leveled gund of his captors. “Don't shoot!" he erted. A_ woman, Garwood's sister, finally opened the door and the escaped prisoners, hands high in the air, walked from the house and were handcuffed, Adam Blaszyk, convicted mur. derer, came first, Guido Spin- gola, “the Mouse,” next, and Wilson last. A few minutes later—about 24 hours after their spectacular jail- break—the prisoners were back in their ceils. Garwood and his sister, Mrs, L. A. Stanage, were also taken into custody, Sheriff Traeger learned early last evening that the fugitives were In the city when L. M. Storey and Emery Bean, postal employes who were made the unwilling chauffeurs of the escaped prisoners, returned to the jail. Storey brought with him the keys to the jafl with a message from Wilson to the jailer informing him that “these had been carried away in the haste of the moment.” Storey and Bean said they had been forced to drive about the city, and then were kept prisoners tn a chicken coop until after dark, Wil fon as leader of the gang, assumed ® gallant manner, they said, treated them courteously and frequently apologized for the discomfort he was forced to cause them.

Danger: ous as they are from an economic standpoint, these Japanese associa tions constitute even more of a men ace to the very laws under which they are permitted to exist. “For these associations are more than they seem. They not only strangle, American industry; they are, quite literally, ‘a government within a government.’ Aitho, on the they are merely combina- tions of Japanese farmera, they are actually the visible symbol of the mikado in the United States. The associations are controlled from Tokyo, just as manikins are pulled if it ever came to a showdown, you would find that the members would pay their allegiance to the invisible | hand that pulls the string—and not to the country in which they jare making their living. “Thus the amendment which I suggest would kill two birds with one stone. In addition to permitting the American farmer to make a living on the land which his fathers won for him, it would do sway with greatest menace of the whole Japanese situation.” Freeman realizes, however, that his point will not be won without vigorous and concerted effort. He has had experience, he declares, with the weird psychology of the government at Washington, which time and again discriminates against American citizens in fayor of the Japs, even in cases of actual laweviolation. “During the war,” Freeman said, | “large numbers of Japanese engaged lia fishing operations in southern California. At the close of hostili- ties, when my attention was called to the matter, I communicated with the attorn general—then A Mitchell Palmer—who admitted that 226 Japanese vessels were oper ating out of San Pedro and San Diego in violation of one of our coastwise navigation laws, which of less than 20 tons registry must have a ieense in force, as required by that title, and that no other shall] bo deemed vessels of the Unit- e4 States entitled to the privileges of vessels employed in the coast trade or in fisheries. “Section 4,347 prohibits foreign vessels from engaging in conastwise trade and provides & penalty, and section 4,371 pro- vides that ‘if she (foreign ves- sel) have on board any articles of foreign growth, she shall, together with her tackle, ap- parel, etc., be forfeited.’ “Altho three years have passed since I raised the question, nothing has been done by the federal author! ties, In August, when J was in Los Angeles, I asked the federal district attorney whether he intended to act. He answered he was ‘investigating,’ but that he was doubtful as to how to proceed, as section 4311 carried no penalty. 4 “T recited that when, in 1905, I 4t- rected attention of the federal gov- ernment to the {llegal presence of Jaraneso fishing veeeels in Alaskan watera, President Roosevelt tmmed}- ately dispatched two revenue cutters ELLIS-MYLROIE LUMBER CO. 3725 12th Ave. N.

(2) Never buy at a “Jjoint”—a Place that sells iquor by the drink Their whisky 1s invariably watered and, at 60 cents a drink, they usual- ly make about 250 or 300 per cent. | Even if you buy from them by the | bottle you lose, as their price ts | several dollars too high a quart.

The only result would be that one of of the remaining thirds would go Into the bootlegging business and the other third would buy their wares, As long as the public con- tinues to buy, the bhootleggers will continue to sell, Which, in my opinion, is no more than right.

Sack WASHINGTON, Oct. 18,—Why | Tako Ozawa, a highly educated Jap |—for three years a student at the University of Callfornta—cannot be- | jcome an American citizen, must be} answered by the supreme court of the United States soon. From an international standpoint this will be the most important de-| cision of the supreme court this sea. son, George W. Wickersham, form- er United States attorney gen- eral, has been retained by Japan, so important does she consider the case, while James M. Beek, solicitor general of the depart- ment of justice, represents the government. ‘Tako Ozawa seta forth that he has lived tn the United States continu- ously for 20 years. He was gradu ated from Berkeley, Cal, high school, and for three years studied in Ameri can schools and attended American churches, while English Js the lan. guage of bin home, ‘Two briefs of his case were writ. ten by himself, he contends, to prove hin knowledge of English, his edu- cation and character of development. In 1914 he asked for citizenship and was refused. He appealed to! the etreult court of appeals and was again denied. The case is now be- fore the supreme court for final de. ciston. Solicitor General Beck, in his brief, arky that the decisions be sus- tained. He says the constitution says citizenship may be granted any alien who Is a “free white person,” and potnts out that the negro, after the civil war, came in under special dis- penaation. He deals with the “intent” of congress and says that unless the Japanese are “white persons”—and ethnologists classify them as mem- bers of the yellow race—they cannot [become citizens. Wickersham recalls that blacks from the Soudan; all aliens of African nativity, whether black, brown or yellow; half-breed Mextcans and oth- ers, can all become citizens while a “cultivated Japanese, whose artistic jand literary development extends back for centuries, are excluded.” | ‘The outcome of this case is being watched with intense in- terest in diplomatic and official circles here.
