NO LAND GRANTS TO JAP SUBJECTS CLAIMS MEXICAN

Denies Foreigners Have Been Authorized to Buy Land in Lower California. (By Associated Press) MEXICO CITY, Mex.. Apr'l 3. Salvador Gomez, chief of staff of the department of agriculture and development, officially denied today reports that Japanese subjects have bought lands in lower California. Ilia statement waB issued on behalf of the department in the absence of Pastor Rouaix, the secretary of commerce, labor and agriculture. It reads as follows: "I can say that up to the present there has been no sale of lands in lower California to Japanese subjects; neither has the department of development authorized anything giving foreigners rights to large extensions of lands In that section. "Moreover, since our constitution prohibits the sale of national lands, this department, in accord with President Carranza, Is giving special attention to all matters referring to lower California. Concessions of territory In that part of the republic which Tiave been authorized have been for a reduced number of hectares and to residents of various small villages of that territory, following the policy of creating small land holdings with the object of favoring the natives." Japanese Statement. Baron Fugitaro Otori, Japanese 'minister to Mexico, tonight Issued the following statement regarding the discussion over alleged attempts by Japanese Interests to purchase lands In lower California: "A tempest In a teapot has been created and I think the Importance the American press has given this question Is due to some political maneuver, caused by the nearness of the next presidential campaign It may be that there are no concessions in Lower California that favor the interests of my country. Only near the town of Mexican exists a small Japanese agricultural colony that cultivates rice, but this is absolutely lack

ing in Importance. "The only paying exploitation that can be made In that part of Mexico Is for the development of minerals deposits, and this is beyond the modest resources of the only Japanese colony located in that region. I am sure that If the American Department of State has asked its embassy here for Information, the embassy must declare that there are no concessions in Lower California favoring Japanese Interests."

Side Lights on Watson Meeting

Senator James F. Watson left Richmond this morning for Winchester, Ind., where he intends to make a brief visit with his mother, who Is now over eighty years of age. The senator departed with the broadest grin he has worn In Richmond for he was delighted with the audience which heard his address at the Coliseum. Senator Watson expects to return to Washington this week. He anticipates the president will call an extra session of congress not later than May 15. "Finest crowd I ever saw at a meeting held in the Sixth district," remarked Rep. Richard Elliott Just before he boarded an automobile to return to his home in Connersvllle last night. Mr. and Mrs. Elliott left Washington for Panama the day after congress adjourned, March 5, and returned to Connersvllle last Saturday. "The canal is well worth the long trip down there, and, incidentally the fishing at Panama Isn't half bad," Mr. Elliott remarked. After the grind of an almost continuous two-year session of Congress, Mr. Elliott says he again feels as fit as a fiddle and is ready

for the Impending special session. Al

though Mr. Elliott is Just entering his second term in congress he has been named tp chairmanship of the

committee on expenditures in the

state department. This is an unusual

distinction for a new congressman.

Mr. Elliott also retains his member

ship on two other committees, woman suffrage and the very important committee on public buildings and grounds. Among the well known Republican leaders of the Sixth district, outside of Wayne conuty, who were noticed in the crowd yesterday were George A. Elliott, Thomas B. Mllliken, Paul Brown, John Milliken, Tom Ritter, Rufus Hlnshaw, all of Newcastle; "Ward Painter, MIddletown; R. M.

11. His subject will be "Service for

Citizenship." There will be no preliminaries at High school as has formerly been the custom.

The winner of the district contest

will go to Bloomlngton, April 25. Rich

mond has always done well in these contests. In 1916 Ralph Nicholson won the state contest for Richmond High BChool and in 1917 Julius Tietz won second place. The information sheet concerning the Reserve Officers Training Corps which will bo put in High school, has been prepared and put in the hands of the High school students.

C. in Richmond High school: 1. One hundred or more boys over 14 years of age must enroll. 2. They must have parents' consent.

3. They must complete two years' work unless they graduate in a shorter time after enrolling. 4. If established within a month Seniors may enroll and finish the year. 5. Members take no obligfilion to

the government. 6. Three hours of work per week are required; two outdoor, one indoor. 7. This work will take the place of physical training if desired, but does not eliminate physical training from the course. 8. The hours of drill will be prescribed by the principal. 9. Drills consist of mass athletics, games and exercises calculated to develop the body. Close order, military drill is only a small part of the work. 10. Credit will be given for this work. 11. Each boy is given a complete uniform consisting of woolen, olive drab breeches, cap and coat, canvas leggings, cap and collar ornaments, and russet shoes. 12. Full uniform must be worn

during all drill periods. They may be worn at all times. 13. Extra uniforms or parts of uniforms may be purchased at government contract prices if desired. 14. Students who satisfactorily complete the two years work in Junior R. O. T. C. will be allowed to enter the Senior grade upon entering college. This Senior grade carries an additional subsistence of about $12.00 per month. 15. The R. O. T. C. scheme involves a summer camp, free of all expenses to all members, but attendance is entirely optional. It is not likely that a camp will be conducted this year. 16. In case there is a camp, additional uniforms will be issued, consisting of two pair cotton breeches, two flannel shirts, one hat and cord. 17. The instructor in military training will be a regular army officer, but he will be under the supervision of the principal an dsuperintendent, exactly the same as any other teacher.

The Freshman-Sophomore classes of the high school will give a skate at the Coliseum Friday night. Judge William Bond will speak to the high school students Friday morning at the regular chapel exercises.

The Girls Athletic association will give a play in chapel Friday morning, April 11. The Julius Caesar film will be shown at the high school auditorium by the Latin Department of the high school Friday afternoon and evening, April 11. This film has been highly recommended. It is a historical film showing the life of Caesar, his campaigns in Gaul, his methods of warfare. The entire public is invited and particularly the students of Earlham College. Friday, April 18, has been set as the chapel morning for the Dramatic Society play. The debating team of the high school will go to Muncie, April 18, to debate with the Muncie high school team. The question is, "Resolved, that the Control of Railroads Should be Returned to Private Ownership."

pared. He said that the Muncie team is a splendid team this year. The members of the Richmond team are Richard Taylor, Paul Llchtenfels and William Haberkern.

Friday, April 25, has been set aside at the high school as Senior Day. The senior class will have complete charge of the chapel program. This has not as yet been arranged. The day will no doubt end up with a party of some kind.

Italians Return to Old Home With U. S. Savings (By Associated J'ress) NEW YORK, April 3. At least 200,000 real American dollars in the

money belts of 1,400 Italians booked j

to san on me nner iresiaent wuson for Trieste are being held in port here

by the harbor strike at a cost of $2,100 a day to the Union Navigation which has been unable to start the vessel on its way for lack of tugs. This amount of gold represents the savings of years of toil in America.

In the meantime bankers for the steamship company have paid the Italians approximately $28,000 for subsistance, at the rate of $1.50 per day for each emigrant Now, to add the last straw, customs officials have announced they are considering an eleventh hour investigation to determine if any of the passengers owes the United States government an income tax.

Fifty thousand books have been placed in Coblenzt for the r.se of the American soldiers in that section.
