GOVERNOR JOHNSON MAKES STATEMENT

(National News Association) SACRAMENTO, Cal., April 24. Governor Johnson today issued the following statement: "The suggestion of the president that the secretary of state visit California for a conference on pending land bills was at once accepted by both houses of the legislature and by the governor and we will be glad to welcome Mr. Bryan on his arrival. "While the legislature has properly maintained the right of the state to legislate on a matter clearly within its jurisdiction I am sure there is no disposition to encroach on the international functions of the federal government or to wound the sensibilities of any nation. My protest has been against the discrimination to which California has been subjected in the assumption that action which has been accepted without demur when taken by other states and by the nation is offensive If even discussed by California. "I am not predicting that the California legislature will take any action on this subject nor forecasting the terms of any law which may be enact ed. I am merely defending the rights of California to consider and if the legislators deem advisable, to enact a law which Is clearly within bpth Its legal power and its moral rights. Much has been said of the dignity of Japan. We would not willingly affront the dignity of Japan nor offend its pride, but what shall be said of the proposition of a great state, Itself an empire of possibilities greater than those of most nations to be halted from the mere consideration of a legislative act admittedly within Us jurisdiction, by the protests of a foreign power whkh has Itself enacted even more stringent regulations on the same subject? What of the dignity of California?" CLERKS MAKE RECORD In Distributing Cards At Post Office. An unusual record was made by four local clerks at the poetoffice in the card examination which was held at the office.

CITY MAY SECURE A NEW PLAYGROUND

Another public playground may be in Richmond in a short time, according to a letter received this morning by the board of works from Clarence Gennett of the Starr Piano company, offering the use of .ground for this purpose, providing the proposed playground is named, "Starr Piano playground. " An agreement will be drawn up by City Attorney Bond with the Starr Piano company to the effect that the city is to have free use of the ground for two years. At a previous meeting of the board, Clarence Gennett offered to allow the city to use the property known as the Wiggans tanyard on the bluff overlooking the river near Main street. In the letter this morning, Mr. Gennett stated that the ground would be furnished free, unconditionally for two years if the city will sign an agreement to establish the playground under the name proposed by Mr. Gennett The offer will be accepted at the next meeting of the board and plans for the equipment will be prepared. Not Within Estimate. None of the five bids presented to the board of works for the grading and gravelling of South Seventh street from J street to L street were within the estimate of City Engineer Charles, making it necessary for the board to reject all the bids. The estimate of the city engineer was $6.86 per front foot Including the making of the street, cement curbs, gutters and walks. In order to prevent the tearing up of Eighth street after the brick has been laid, the board of works will order the Richmond City Water Works to pipe water into all houses along the street. A. number of houses on South Eighth street are not piped with city water and the owners refuse to pay for the cost of running a pipe from the street to the house. As the street is being paved with brick, the board will order the work done at once. A list . of the houses was furnished the board by H. A. Dill, superintendent of the water company. New Pipe Line. Mr. Dill was present at the meeting of the board this morning and asked that a list of all main extensions desired by the city for the coming year be furnished the company as Boon as possible. The matter was referred to City Engineer Charles and Fire Chief Miller. A new pipe line for Fairrlew is planned by the company. The line will be a twelve inch main and will be run across the river at Butler street, strengthening the Are protection in Fairview. The pressure west of the river will be increased by the new main when it is completed. It will be necessary for the company to blast through several hundred feet of rock before laying the main. The hearing for the extension and opening of Johnson street to the river was postponed until Thursday. Turtle Soup Friday and Saturday at George Muey's. 22-3t O F1

YOUTH BELONGS TO

T WORRY CLUB Weight is quite as essential as any other qualification for enlistment in the United States army. This fact was ascertained by an ambitious youth v ho applied at the local recruiting station for enlistment among the regulars. When informed that he was too light to carry a heavy musket he replied that the weight requisite to meet the standard would soon be forthcoming. After a delay of a few weeks he strolled into the office yesterday and much to the suprise of the officer in charge tipped the beam to the necessary requirements. When asked how he did it, he answered, "It was nothing. Anyone can take on flesh who has the patience. All I did was to diet on eggs and milk for breakfast in the morning. For dinner when I wanted meat, I only ate it boiled." The story had been completed and the accepted applicant had reached the door. He turned around before going out and remarked. "O, yes, I forget to tell you that I worked on the theory of letting the other fellow do the worrying." NEW CLEWJO GIRL Dr. Winters Thinks He May Find Little Daughter. CHICAGO, April 24. Dr. W. A. Winters, father of Catherine Winters, who has been missing from Newcastle, Ind., for a month, arrived in Chicago last night on a clew that may lead to the recovery of the 9 year old girl. According to the physician, he hopes to learn her whereabouts before tomorrow night. Yesterday he received a long distance telephone call from LaPorte, Ind., telling him Catherine had been seen in a gypsy wagon on the outskirts of that city. Dr. Winters upon arriving in Chicago was met at the Union station by his brother and nephew, who were accompanied by Detective Harry Loose of the Juvenile Protective association-Father Issues Appeal. Dr. Winters has spread broadcast a bulletin bearing his daughter's picture along with an appeal which reads: To whom It May Concern: I have been sustained by the hope that our little girl is alive. Without that hope I do not know how I could have endured these four weeks of suspense and waiting. Somehow I feel that before long Catherine will be with us alive and well. My appeal is to any one who may know where Catherine is. Surely, surely there is no one who, knowing where she is and knowing what I have suffered, would keep her from us longer. My means are small, but I am willing to give for her return everything I possess to the last farthing. There will be no questions asked. I do not SALE

Just you sleep three hours later and then send to the grocer's for some Fels-Naptha Soap. Your wash will be on the line before noon, cleaner than ever before." In India the women still go down to the river banks and wash clothes by rubbing them over stones. Rjut they are no farther behind the times than the American women who still boil clothes and hard-rub them on a washboard. The truly modern way of washing is the Fels-Naptha way.
