Reason for tho Move Docs Not ,
Want Any Misconstruction During
Negotiations with Japan. I
Washington. May 17. President I
Wilson has determined that no war
ship or troops shall be moved or any
thing resembling a military or naval
demonstration carried on by the
United States while diplomatic ne
gotiations with Japan over tho Cali
fornia alien land legislation are in
progress, so that no alarming Inter
pretation can be placed on oven the
ordinary maneuvers of tho army
and navy.
This decision of the president was
announced at the White House last
week. It answered a report current
in official circles that precautionary
movements by the army and navy
were contemplated and had been dis
cussed at a conference between the
president, Secretary Daniels of the
navy department, Secretary Garrison
of the war department, and Acting
Secretary Moore of the state depart
ment. Mr. Moore went to the White
House, it was explained, to discuss
the framing of a reply to tho recent
Japanese protest against tho Califor
nia land legislation, while the war
and navy secretaries called to dis
cuss routine affairs of their depart
ments. White House officials said there
had been no changes In the diplomat
ic phases of the Japanese question
and that the situation was promising
of an early settlement. It was em
phatically denied that army or navy
maneuvers, or movements of any
kind not included in ordinary plans
arranged months in advance of ex
ecution, had been contemplated at
any time.
The rumor which called forth the
White House statement probably be
gan its rounds when the war depart
ment made public orders to three of
ficers and two companies of coast ar
tillery to sail from San Francisco for
Honolulu about May 24. These or
ders, It was explained, wore in con
formity with the program for the cre
ation of a permanent and sufficient
garrison in Hawaii, outlined in the
last annual report of the secretary
of war, and merely carried out plans
of long standing.

COVERS LARGE WOUNDS BY
SKIN GRAFTING.
Volunteering to undergo whatever
of suffering might be caused by the
operation for the sake of their little
sister who was dangerously burned
at their home at Knob, Piko county,
a month ago, Daniel, Jr., and Miss
Daisy, children of Daniol Hatton,
gave more than 300 square inches of
skin to bo grafted over tho extensive
wounds of little Linda Hatton. The
operations, which were the first ex
tended operations of skin grafting
in this vicinity, were performed by
Dr. F. A. Lobb assisted by Dr. A. C.
Voigt, of Hawley.
Linda Hatton, 10 years old, was
burned when her clothes woro Ignit
ed by a flro of brush and dried leaves
when her brothers woro cleaning
their yard a month ago. For a week
her condition remained critical, and
then her physician, Dr. Lobb, an
nounced that she was on tho road to
recovery. Ho said, however, skin
grafting would be necessary before
the wounds could heal. The opera
tion was described and the brother
and sister at once volunteered.
The final operation was porformed
last Sunday when more than 200
square inches of skin were removed
from tho thighs of Daniel, Jr., and
transferred to tho ' abdomen and
thighs of his sister. This complet
ed the covering of the burn wounds.
The first operation was performed
on Thursday, May 1. At that time
the Jlttlo girl and her older sister,
Daisy, were placed side by sido and
DUt under an nn.msthnHn Tin T.ni..
and Dr. Voigt then removed nearly
one nunarea square inches of skin
from the thighs of tho older girl and
grafted on tho back nf hnr olafor
Tho skin was removed In strips
auoui an men wide and three inches
long and was spread over about one
third rtt tha 1m
been treated with an antiseptic solu
tion. iuo operation took about two
hours. Both doctors declare that tho
skin transferred was plear and
healthy, -which was proven by the
fact that In three days conditions
showed that tho graft had taken and
the wound was healing nicely. Miss
Daisy recovored quickly from tho ef
fects of tho anaesthetic and of the
operation and was able to come down
stairs the following day. Hawley

PUBLIC UTILITIES BILL IS
AMENDED.
The Rockwell public service com
mission bill was passed by tho Houso
on second reading recently and made
a special order for third reading to
night at 9:30.
, During the consideration of tho
bill on second reading, but one im
portant amendment was made, re
quiring street railways which connect
to Issue transfers. All others, in
cluding attempts to give the commis
sion control of stocks and bonds to
eliminate provision that the com
mission might givo permission to a
company to go through a municipal
ity without consent of local authori
ties, were defeated.
The point of order was raised by
Mr. Humes that the bill was uncon
stitutional because it referred to the
full crew act enforcement only by the
title of the act of 1911 and not by
the next. This was overruled by the
Speaker. A new tltlo was inserted,
changing the phraseology and speci
fying authority over grade crossing,
and to a certain extent, over muni-1
cipallties.
When the very first section was
read last Thursday Mr. Humes, '
Crawford, entered tho lists and stay-1
ed there most of the morning. The
Democrats held together pretty well, .
although they were unable to do
much and they let the salary provis
ions go by without a Bingle scream.
Mr. Humes, Crawford, attacked
the provision empowering tho com
mission to grant permission to a
public service company to cross a
municipality without consent of lo
cal authorities. He denounced it as
"destroying the last vestige of home
rule" and asserted that it was con
trary to tho progress of tho times.

FEDERAL AID iS POSSIBLE.
Congressmen Henry of Texas and
8hackleford of Missouri Are Leading
Figures In the Movemont Senti
ment For Improvoment of Highways
Is Increasing In Congress Each Year.
By ARTHUR W. DUNN.
Washington, May 'J?. Special. A
good roads movemont which means
business has been startod In the house.
Congressman Henry of Texas has re
ported his resolution for a commlttoo
ou roads and lias no doubt about its
adoption. Tho ways and means com
uiitteo, which Is making up tho list of
house committees. Is tentatively mak
ing a roads committee, which will have
harge of all measures relating to
roads. It Is expected that Dorsey W.
Shackloford of Missouri will be chair
man of the now committee.
It was Shncklcford who proposed tho
amendment to tho postoflico bill in the
first session of tho last congress, which
looked like real government aid for
roads. For this gervlco ho was called
"Dirt Road Shack" By those who op
posed the movement. But that did not
hurt him in his district.
What the Committee Means.
Tho creation of this new committee
will moan that tho twonty-flvo or thir
ty road and highway bills that have
been introduced and sent to tho post
office committee, tho Interstate com
mittee, tho ngriculturo committee and
sovcnil other committees will all bo
referred to the roads committee with
a view of working out a bill which
will mean federal aid to roads In tho
most practical manner. The road sen
timent in congress is growing stronger
every year.
A Knotty Problem.
For more than six months tho su
preme court" has had before it tho
Bornhnrt-Bourno law relating to news
papers and periodicals and at tills
writing has not been ablo to solve tho
problem. It must bo a knotty ques
tion that puzzles such eminent Jurists
so long. Tho question is whether con
gress can compel publishers to make
statements in reference to their owner
ship and bo compelled to label reading
matter advertisements ns such before
they are allowed second class mall
rights. The law was Intended to get
at the ownership nnd control of publi
cations and to provent "veiled adver
tising" under the guise of reading mat
ter. Murdock's Difficulties.
"I can't find places for all my fel
lows," complained Minority Loader
Murdock of tho Progressive party. He
referred to committee places. There
nro nineteen members of tho third par
ty and only about a dozen committee
places of any account Some of them
must be left, and each one thinks he
Is Just as important as tho other. And
thnt Is tho trouble which a minority
leader with commltteo places to dis
tribute always encounters.
Interested In Underwood.
When tho Englishmen and Canadians
woro in Washington on the peaco mis
sion they went to tho capltol and met
Speaker Clark. It so happenod thnt
Chairman Underwood was In tho
room, nnd they really showed more In
terest In the mnn who made tho tariff
bill than in tho speaker. "I hopo your
bill becomes a law," remarked several
of tho foreigners to tho Alabama man.
Judges and Their Time.
When tho houso was considering n
bill for an additional district Judgo in
Pennsylvania considerable opposition
developed, "Thero are ninety-eight
district Judges In tho country," snld
Hamlin of Missouri, "and fully half of
them do not work over half tho time."
"You could dispense with twenty
five of them," said Douavan of Con
necticut, "nnd still have enough to per
form all tho duties."
But tho bill for tho additional Judgo
was passed Just tho same.
Experience of a Watchdog.
Congressman Flood was putting a
resolution relating to on International
conference and Watchdog Mann was
asking questions as to money from tho
treasury.
"Thoro Is absolutely no appropriation
provided for in this resolution," said
Flood.
"Well," replied Mann, "I have heard
things liko that before and tho gontle
mail had his lingers crossed when ho
answered. Tho trouble Is that It's like
ly to come back from tho senato with
an appropriation and tho gentleman
will yiold."
Both Flood and FitzgeraKL who have
chargo of tho appropriations, assured
Mann that he need havo no fears this
time.
Qoulden'a Peanuts.
J. Hampton Mooro of Philadelphia
Was talking tariff, particularly about
peanuts, when Congressman Goulden
of the Bronx district Interrupted him.
"Why do you defend tho Virginia
peanut?" ho asked. "Why not look
after your own products?"
"Why," replied Mooro, "I have seen
tho gentleman on a ferryboat, on his
way from Now York to Philadelphia,
and on the railroad train, eating pea
nuts all tho way, und I know bo Is a
friend pt tho peannt."

Editor Explains the Feeling
Against Japanese,
NOT VIOLATION OF TREATY.
Writer Points Out That Australia Has
Strict Antl-allon Law and Asks Why
Japan Is Not Protesting to Great
Britain Eastern People Cannot Un
derstand tho Situation.
California's case In tho controversy
orer the untl-allcn land law question
Is briefly and forcibly presented in a
letter written by Charles K. Me
Clatchv. editor of tho Sacramento Bee,
to tho cdltoi" of the New York World
and printed recently in that paper.
The letter follows:
"To tho Editor of the World Will
you penult 1110. a native Callfornlan,
to occupy some space In your valuable
paper to give tho views of California
upon this antl-allon laud law proposi
tion? "In tho first place, wo claim it is a
problem the e.ist docs not understand
nnd which easterners cannot under
stand unless they live In California
and see for themselves. But I ven
ture to say that no intelligent, home
loving easterner could study tho sub
ject properly In California for one
year and not bo as strenuous thereon
as is any native Callfornlan.
"California Is not proposing In her
nntl-nllen land law to do anything
that she has not a right to do under
tho treaty with Japan. Thnt wnB con
ceded by Secretary of Stato Bryan
while here. Tho point ho made was
not that California hud not a right to
do what she is about to do, but that
It would bo very Impolitic for her to
do It.
Turned From Purpose.
"One reason why California is de
termined upon this matter is that she
thinks she lias procrastinated long
enough. She was turned from her pur
pose at tho behest of tho national gov
ernment some years ago. Tho govern
ment at Washington wants her to turn
from her purpose now on a promise
that the president and tho secretary of
stato will do what thej can to got the
Japanese government to acqulesco in
some friendly arrangement thnt will
suit California, but California does not
believe that such 'friendly arrange
ment" will amount to anything, and
she has grown very tired of being put
off and put off nnd put off from doing
that which it has been conceded she
hns a right to do.
"Tho question is not whether the
Jnpaneso nro affronted or will bo af
fronted by anything that California
has done or will do, but rather whether
tho Japanese havo any right to bo af
fronted. California is not proposing to
do to tho Jnpaneso anything moro than
the Japanese do to Americans or oven
ns much. She is not proposing any
law that goes one whit beyond tho
laws now In force in Washington and
Arizona. She Is proposing to treat tho
Japanese fnr better than they are treat
ed by tho government of Victoria, in
Australia.
"The following letter will speak for
Itself. F. T. A. Fricko, tho writer there
of, is tho representative in North Amer
ica of tho government of Victoria:
"Sah Francisco, Cal., May 5, 1913.
