AMBASSADOR SATO
New Japanese Envoy announces
his country is ready to forget tho
California land law controversy.
JAPAN WILL "FORGET"
CALIFORNIA LAND TUT
WITH U.S., ENVOY SAYS
Ready in Every Possible Way to
Demonstrate Her Friendship
for America, New Ambas
sador Asserts
STANDS BY IMMIGRANTS
WASHINGTON. Oct 16. The new re
glme In Japan Is preparing to "forget"
the controversy over the California law for
bidding Japanese citizens to own land In
that State. Ambassador Sato, the Japanese
diplomatic representative here, made this
plain today In an Interview In which he also
expressed as his opinion that Japan would In
eyery possible way demonstrate her friend
ship to the United States.
This statement 18 Interpreted by students
of the situation In the T"ar East to remove,
for the present at least one of the largest
under-thq-surface causes for friction which
haa Jeopardljc4jretaton btwemV.the,
united states and Japan.
"We realize In Japan the constitutional
restriction which preents the Federal Gov
ernment from Interfering with the legisla
tes enactments of a single State," the
Ambassador said. "In consequence, wa
shall 'forget' the controversy altogether."
The new Ambassador will, however, press
the protesagalnst the alleged Inclusion In
the Burnett Immigration, bill to come be
fore the Senate next December of the Jap
anese as among the "Inferior" Tacea that
cannot enter America. Ambassador Chinda,
predecessor of the present diplomatic repre
sentative of the Toklo Government, twice
protested to the President against the por
tion of the Burnett bill understood to pre
sent, by Inference and In a roundabout fash
ion, the naturalization of Japanese.
"My Government Is convinced that the
Burnett law, while it makes no direct men
tion of the Japanese," Ambassador Sato
said, "Is designed to prevent the naturaliza
tion of Japanese citizens In this country.
Against such legislation I shall continue
to protest iroweer, that matter la not
pressing, because Congress Is not In ses
sion now and nothing Immediate can be
done."
The Ambassador expects to go to Shadow
Lawn shortly, possibly the latter part of
this week, to call upon the President for
mally and present his credentials. He has
already presented his credentials to the
Secretary of State.

300-Pound Cafe Proprietor Be

and Perishes
By CAHL V. ACKERMAN
ESSEN, Geimany, Oct 16. Twenty
thousand new workers this week will Join
the force of "0,000 aires ly emploed at
the Great Krupp gun works In the gigantic
task of turnliig out shells and guns to feed
the German atmles.
The addition of this huge force Is one
step In' the course of Germany's renewed ef
forts to win the war, and Is taking place
under the direction of KHM Marshal on
lllndenburg, new chief of steff.
Many skilled workmen nro being recalled
from the front to old In speeding up the
production of war supplier, and barracks
are being built hero to house them.
VON IIINDEnUltO'S INFLUENCE
From conxcmaions with Krupp directors,
with August Thyssen. "he "Carnegie of Ger
many," and other Industrial leaders, three
facts become apparent regarding the Ger
man campaign since on lllndenburg as
sumed leadership:
First Germany plans to maintain
her supremacy In the artillery branch
of warfaro by Increasing the supply of
guns and ammunition.
Second. Ily renewed submarine ef
forts she plans to stop- contraband
going to England from neutral Euro
pean countries, to halt ammunition
shipments from America to England
and to stop Canadlnn transports from
carrying troops to Europe.
Third. By an offensive against Itu.v
la and Itumanla. while maintaining
an Iron wall defenslo In tho west,
she plans to bring England between
the jaws of von Hlndenburg's military
vise and pinch her until she makes
peace.
Krupp's may be said to be getting a
second wind. Industries throughout the
entire Rhine and Ttuhr alleys, where shells
roll out weekly by the millions, are pre
paring the army for the final stretch. A
visit to the great plants here give one an
Impression of the gigantic plans Germany
is making.
SMOKE SAVES TOOM Am ItAIDS
Essen now feels so secure against pos
sible air raids that the anti-aircraft guns
have been removed. The defense of the
'$iSmTSfifi?SS5'Sl
chimneys night and day forms a thick cloud
over the entire Ithlne and Ruhr Valleys,
making It Impossible for aeroplanes to dis
tinguish between Dulsberg, Muelhelm and
Essen, though miles separate the cities. In
the latest Allied raid three children were
killed and the roof knocked on one house
near Essen, but the Krupp establishments
were not touched.
The Krupp fsctorles are so enormous
and the machinery so great that workmen
look like dwarfs. The women workers.
The giant proportions and the bravery
of Frank 'J. Margwarth cost him hs life
early today 4n' a $2000 fire that wrecked
bis cafe and home at 110 East Allegheny
avenue.
Margwarth, who weighed nearly 100
pounds, remained In the burning building
until satisfied that his wife, child, pet
monkey and canary bird had been rescued,
and then, overcome by smoke, became
wedged In the. second-story w'ndoir through
which flreaten attempted to pull him. When
he waa extricated ,he had Inhaled flames
and died while being taken to the Kpteeepel
Hospital. He wm fifty-three years old.
The Margwarth family, steeping on the
seoend floor, discovered the fire about
4: JO a'eieek. Mr. Ftorenee Margwarth,
the wife, was awakened by smoke whleh
poured up from the 'summer garden and
oafe below. feUte aad her husband groped

KENNY GOT HIS ORDERS
Habitues of the Nineteenth Century Club,
1005 Sansom street as well as politicians,
are wondering what brought about the ac
tion of the police In quarantining the place.
Lieutenant of Police Jeffries, who estab
lished the quarantine, said the orders came
from Captain of Police Nicholas J. Kenny.
Captain Kenny said his orders came from
tho Department of Publlo Safety,
But the reason ascribed Is what puzzles
some of the habitues, who thought they
were well enough acquainted with 'the
operators of the club to "get the dope on It
right" "the dope" being that It was sound
ly backed politically and "protected." They
thought It could not be quarantined wlthr
out some notorious reason, and the reason
for the quarantine has come out that the
club had "a professional dealer."
Captain Kenny says there la a ruling of
tho Department of Publlo Safety prohibit
ing: a chartered club from operating card
table with a professional dealer. Captain
Kenny, accompanied by Policeman John
Bigger, went to the club Saturday night
and recognUed the dealer as a professional J
whereupor) be ordered every man from 'the
place, The dub will remain quarantined,
Captain, Kenny says, until "it assure the
de-mrtmefit of Its good faith."
Habitue and polltlelanel are wondering
What the captain mean by the oiub'a
"assuring the department e-f Its good faith."
