tHE BEE: OMAHA, TUESDAY, JULY 13, 1920, JAPS IMMIGRATE TO QUEENSLAND; CAUSE PROTEST Australians Pass Law to Tax . New Citizens, but Governor General Refuses to Assent to Law. By JOHN CLAYTON. rw York Tlmta-Chlcago Tribune (ahl Copyright. 1930. Paris, July 12. Japan has found a ntw outlet for her population in Queensland and Australia and the opposition of the Austrians to Japanese intrusion has increased to a dangerous point. A recent law was passed by both houses of the Austrian Parliament imposing a tax of $500 a head on Astitic immigrants. It was sent to the governor general for his signa ture, but under instructions from the British foreign office here, refused to indorse the law. Meanwhile Australian officials have been attempting to collect the tax, and the Japanese backed by thett consuls have refused. Queensland is Rich. Queensland, into which the Jap anese are trying to force their way over the protests of the British population in Australia, is an im mensely rich country, with an area one-fourth that of the United States. Should the Japanese find a footing they will have an outlet for their overflow population, and a place for growing their raw materials, which, with the coal and iron of Shantung, will give them natural resources, which their factories sorely need. The British colonial office is do ing its best to keep the Australian in hand in the matter of immigration, but, with the next session of Parlia ment there if sure to be angry de hate and the protest of the action of the governor general. The Australians do not want the Japanese for the same reason that California does not want them. Form New Alliance. The only way out for the British government is to form a new al liance which will take the place of the Japanese document in protecting England's Asiatic interests and they believe America's future in the Far East will force her to follow the same course. Meanwhile both countries are pre paring for eventualities. Recently Admiral Falk, commanding the Brit ish Atlantic squadron, pointed out to his government the inability of the British fleet to fight an action ii. Asiatic waters because of the lack of a suitable repair base. "It would be hopeless to try to fight an action so far removed from our base," Admiral Falk said in dis cussing the possibilities successfully of defending Australia against a for eign attack. "If any of our ships were put out of action it would be necessary to return to England for major repairs." Build Naval Base. Since then the British has begun construction of a naval base at Singapore, which will Je one of the largest iti the world. 'The work is progressing rapidly, but it will be several years before the drydorks are completed and the base put into commission. Meanwhile Japan is constructing temporary bases in the Marshall Islands, over which she was given the mandate by the peace conference. 'Jhese islands are about equally dis tant from Japan, Hawaii and Aus tralia. The advantages to Great Britain of a treaty with the United States on the Far East question are obvious. The British statesmen point oui America with the Philippines and Hawaii to protect would derive simi I tr advantages, having access to the British base at Singapore, as the British would to the American dry dock in Pearl harbor. Japan must have an outlet for its overflow population. It is building new warships on a larger scale than the United States. Its r.aval ap propriations are greater than those of America or England. It is need less to point out why it is construct ing this fleet. Sooner or later, sav tne British statesmen, the empire must break with Japan. That is why Great Britain wants an alliance with the United States on the ques tion of the Far East. Trxas Ranch Owner Will Purchase Feeders Here Several hundred head of cattle will be purchased at the local mar ket this fall for feeders in Texas, according to advice received this week from J. M. Bassett of Dryden, Texas, who writes that he intends to purchase 100 carloads of "western cattle at the Omaha market, the first shipment to be made about August 1. Mr. Bassett is said to have a ranch in the Lone Star state of some 500,000 acres, most of which is one tract. He says the grass in his sec tion is the best that has been seen for some time. Last year Mr. Bas sett bought several carloads of cattle, the cows being put on alfalfa pasture near El Paso and the rest shipped to his big ranch in Terrell county north of the Rio Grande river.

"Bill" Cox, Brother of Demo Nominee, Runs Candy Shop i - Proprietor of Little Dayton Store Says He Has Al ways Been Republican But He Is Going to Vote For "Brother Jim'" at Next Election. By SAM BLAIR. l'niveral Service Stuff Correspondent. Dayton, O., July 12. William H. Cox, brother of the democratic nom inee for president, shuffled behind the counter and dug three hits of confection out of their glass con tainer. The newspaper man waited in the shop rear, where' scats and tables were provided for aristocratic cus tomers, who had nickels to be squan derde for ice cream. "Yes." the old candy man said, when lie had lounged back to his seat, "I've been a republican all my life even if Jim is a democrat. "But, look!" A man wrould be a damn fool not to vote for his brother for president, wouldn't he? So I'm going to vote for Jim." The brother of the democratic nominee is 67 years old. He speaks slowly, looks out through the upper edges of his glasses, rubs his chin frequently and with almost every sentence digs fingers nito his collar less neck band to relieve the pres sure. "Jim Was Always Smart." "Jim always" was mighty smart. He was just naturally able to look ahead. And Jim was a good gover nor and congressman. Why, when he was in congress he staretd out to ge ta million dollar postofficc lor Dayton and the papers that were against him laughed and said hefd be in his grave before he ever suc ceeded. But he got it, yes, sir." It appeared to the reporter that business may have perked up since the candy man's brother had achieved Labor Party Dictates Terms to Coalition Continued from Tag One. to be almost unanimously in favor of it. Labor Men Suspicious. Mr. Rodriguez, former socialist alderman from the Fifteenth ward in Chicago, stated the obstacles in the way of amalgamation. "There is a feeling of suspicion among the labor men of the country," he said. "They have supported so many par ties and so many individuals and have been sold out so many times that they are suspicious of any new movement which is not tarred with the same stick that they are. They are particularly suspicious of men who, like myself and the majority of the delegates to this convention, make their living in a little easier way than does the man who wields the pick and the shovel eight or nine hours a day. I have told the labor party that it needs the intellectual leadership which this convention can provide, and I believe that if we are patient on both sides we can get together. There is no essential dif ference in the platforms and I don't believe that we should let technical ities stand in the way of our union." Many Factions. The manner in which the conven tion received the Labor party speak ers was enough to show its disposi tion, but it was manifested in other V,'VS. Just before thel labor seakers were invited to address the committee of 48 convention, an attempt was made to hold a "conference" of the rep resentatives of some of the minor groups, which included the Nonpar tisan league, the American patty of Texas, the single fax party, ihe world war veterans, the Rank and File Veterans' association, the Pri vate Soldiers' and Sailors' association and the American constitutional com mittee. But this plan was balked by Ed ward T. O'Loughlin, one of the lead ers of the American constitutional party. This is the group that had been supporting William Randolph Hearst as a presidential candidate and holding aloof from the other groups as a result. The announce ment by Mr. Hearst today that he was not a candidate for president and was favorable to the candidacy of Senator Robert La Follette left the Hearst supporters free to join in the general third party movement. O'Loughlin showed signs; of im patience at the conference idea. , Wants Action. "Hell, we'll be in' here talking to ourselves and no one else for a .week," he said, "If you haven't any aaaaaaaaaaa etoin etoni etoin etoinn national prominence. ' "Oh, this is all right for me; I'm old," the candy man answered the suggestion. He menitoned that his first wife was dead, his second wife estranged nd his children grown up and gone into homes of their own. "1 only see Jim about three times a year. You see, he's governor and when he comes to Dayton, there are always a bunch of people he's got to have conferences with." Never Favored Relatives. Mr. Cox the folks who buy his candy, and ice cream call him "Bill" gave "Brother Jim" credit for set ting him up in the dimiuutive estab lishment. "He bought this place for me and gave it to me," he bragged. "Of course, Jim wouldn't give his broth ers or sisters a job with the state. That's one thing he neveh has done, take advantage of his office that way." The candidate's brother handed out a cent's worth of jawbreakers and returned to the writer's table to say-a few apt things about the pro hibitio nissue. "The country's dry to' stay," he insisted. "The saloon is a terrible thing. I know a woman whose hus bandearned good money, but she only got $4 a week because he spent the rest for booze." But Mr. Cox was unable to dis cuss the league of nations. "Well, I just never paid any at tention to that," he said. "I figure why should I bother about that. I got enough to look after with this here store." thing better to propose, I'm going to New York. Take us before your convention, we can do our talking there." The proposition proved popular and the representatives of the vari ous groups were ushered in to the convention. William Hard was speaking, but his address was interrupted to en able the representatives of the minor groups to declare themselves heartily for the third party move-, ment. Those who spoke were Mr. O'Loughlin, former Governor James E. Ferguson of Texas, rep resenting the American Party of Texas, Lester Barlow of the World War veterans, S. Lowenbein of the Rank and File veterans and Lou Gould Sheddon of the Private Sol diers' association. All of the speeches were along the same lines, advocating union of all the radical groups in a third party and denouncing the old par ties. "Soldiers for La Folette." Lester Barlow of the World War Veterans announced that the report that the former soldiers were op posing the nomination of Senator La Follette was incorrect. "I can't say exactly haw we feel," He said, " but I believe the great majority of them are for Senator La Follette." Outside of the work done in try ing to bring about the amalgamation of the two parties the work of the convention of the Committee of 43 was perfunctory. In the morning the three resolutions which aimed r.t establishing the amalgamation of the parties were adopted. After that all that was done Njas to listen to speeches by representa tives of various groups from the East Indian opponents of British rule to Demarest Lloyd and his companions of the Loyal Coalition, who are opposing any declaration by the convention on the Irish ques tion.

' Lincoln, Neb., July 12. (Special.') An attempt by the Nonpartisan league to have its Candidates and platform boosted at the expense of the state treasury developed today when C. A. Sorenson. attorney for that organization, filed in the office of the secretary of state an "argu ment" aginst the Reynolds primary law, passed in lviv, to ne usea in the printed pamphlet published hy the state in connection with the referendum on the law. According to the law of .Nebraska relating' to referendums on legisla tive acts both sides have the right to have published their reasons why the bill should be defeated or not, they to pay for the printing and paper for the argument, but the state to stand the expense of postage, en velopes and mailing. Mr. Sorenson in presenting ins "argument" calls the passage of the bill "a brazen attempt by profes sional office seekers and privilege seeking corporations to mutilate and destroy the primary system for sel fish reasons " He takes an indirect shot at Governor McKelvie for sign ing the bill ana quotes trom a speecn made by Charles E. Hughes in 1916, a statement from Charlie Bryan aud another from Arthur G. Wray of York, Nonpartisan league candidate for governor. He then proceeds to give the league candidates a boost and follows with a submission of the Nonpartisan league platform adopted at the Grand Island con vention, in which a shot is taken at some of the work of the recent con stitutional convention, the code bill and a few other things. He only re fers to the primary bill in contro versy in a short paragraph of 28 words. The bill provides that all state of ficers except governor shall be nominated at a state convention, the HpWatps nf which shall be selected from the delegates to a county con vention who have been eiecteo to the coujity convention by a direct vote of the voters of each county. "SOULLESS MAN" SPENDS MORNING BOWED IN PRAYER Slayer" of Wife and Stranger Greatest Criminal Enigma In History. Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee I-eased Wir?. Chicago, July 12. Carl Wander er, the "two gun" murderer," con fessed slayer of his wife, Mrs. Ruth Wanderer, and "the ragged strang er," now identified asjohn J. Ma loney, a circus follower, spent the morning in prayer at Detention Home No. 1 today. During the afternoon, while the police were planning to have Ml's. John Kain, sister of the man he killed, brought here from Pontiac, R. I., to make the identification certain, Wanderer again proved himself the greatest criminal enig ma in local history during a two hour conversation with reporters. He told of his prayers. He talked clamly of his wife as though she were alive and well. He advised young men to tell the truth, not because of the principle involved, but because they would get caught in something if they lied. An example of his logic was con tained in his bland statement that the $1,500 one of the motives of the fake holdup in which he shot his victims to death was his own money, earned and saved by him. He "didn't know" why it was nec essary to slay two to gain posses sion of it. Detective Sergeant John Norton, whose efforts were largely respon sible for the solution of the case, stood by during the interview. "A man without a soul" was his com ment as he locked him in for the night. Fire Destroys Light Plant and Garage at Clatonia, $15,000 Loss Beatrice, Neb.. July 12. (Special Telegram.)

South Side Safe WUt for INFANTS & INVALIDS Porlnfanfi.tnvalldaandGrewtnrChtMran I The Onginalood-Drink For All Ages COX ATTEMPTS TO DEFEND WAR POUGYOF PAPER Governor Makes Weak Effort To Explain Pro-German Editorials Which Cov ered Long Period. Dayton, O., July 12. (Special Telegram.) Governor Cox, the democratic presidential nominee, undertook today to defend himself against the rabidly pacifist and pro German editorials that appeared during 1915 and 1916 in the Dayton News, of which he is owner and publisher, textual copies of which were printed today in the New York Sun, the New York Herald and The Omaha Bee. He entered into a long and rather involved explana tion citing his record as war gov ernor of Ohio and the fact that German sympathizers voted against him in the state, election of 1918, in an effort to offset the effect the editorials probably will have in the national campaign. Governor Cox did not attempt to deny the authenticity of the edi torials, but he made it a point that they had not heen written by him. The chief editorial writer tor the Dayton News during the period that the editorials appeared. Gov ernor Cox explaued, was George F. Burba, now an editorial writer for the Columbus Dispatch. "I think he will tell you, when you get to Columbus," said Governor Cox, "what is the quality of my Americanism." "Fluctuation of Feeling." Governor Cox said that during the period the editorials covered," al though the Lusitania had been sunk with the loss of American lives, and although German plotters had been active in the United States, "there was a constant fluctuation of feeling" tegarding the proper course America should take. He said that the edi torials had been published by the re publican organization in Ohio dur ing his last race for governor, de spite which the German sections of the state, which might have been ex pected to support him on such a record, turned against him. "Any one who really wants to know my attitude on the war need only question any of the soldiers Ohio sent to the war and study the vote in the pro-German sections of the state," he said. "I challenge any man to find a word in any speech of mine or to find any gentleman on God's footstool with whom I ever discussed the subject who will say that I ever uttered a word that would in any way confirm the idea that I was not opposed to the Ger man military oligarchy from the very moment the European war be gan." So far as the authenticity of the editorials is concerned, there is no question. Consented To Investigation. The correspondent of the Sun and the New York Herald read them in the files of the Dayton News which were turned over to him with the knowledge and approval, of Gover nor Cox. In this instance, it may be added that Governor Cox said today that he regarded it as perfectly prop er that his record be investigated, appraised to the fullest extent, by way of emphasis. It is well to add that there is a large pro-German vote in some sections of Ohio, par ticularly in Cincinnati, but also in several tiers of counties in the cen tral and eastern part of the state. This German vote, the exact strength of which it is impossible to present with accuracy, has been much sought in elections, and there is scant possibility of variating from the truth when it is said that the general Cox policy at the time w i torgely political whether the edito rials were written with his knowl edge or not. Covered Long Period. The. damning thing about the whole affair, according to the situ ation as it appears in Dayton to night, is that the editorials contin ued in the - same tone over a long period. They began in 1915, soon after the war began, and continued up to within a few days of the declaration of war when the Day ton News took the view that Amer ican troops should not be sent to France. The point of this is that Governor Cox must have been fully aware of the character of the edi torials, even though he did not write them, and could easily have put a stop to them if he had desired. Gov ernor Cox during the period was at Columbus, the state capital, most of the time, but Columbus is only 70 miles from Dayton, and it has been his custom of going back and forth between the two cities fre quently, that is as often as every week or two, sometimes ofteiver. At the same time the copies of the Day ton News, which is an afternoon, newspaper, would be readily avail able for him any morning that he' was in Columbus. The natural in ference is that either Governor Cox paid no attention whatever to the editorial policy of his newspaper, which folks here can hardly believe, owing to his constant interest in politics, or that he was willing that the policy be pursued.
