Declares California Is Acting With in State Constitution, Also That of U. S. . Tokio, Feb. 2A. (By the Associa ted Press) Japan can do nothing to invalidate anti-Japanese legislation in California, declared Viscount Uchida, foreign minister, in the Diet here today.

The foreign minister spoke in re ply to Baron Yoshiro Sakatani, who, after referring to a growing tend ency in other Pacific cosat states to follow the example of California, asked if the Japanese government was doing anything to counteract this movement. He also inquired if there were prospects that the ac cord being negotiated by Roland S.

Fsnunslaa BAD BREATH i en-Day .umifcfc In Cold Storage Bill Js Killed McLaughlin Wages Successful Fight in House Fur liter Conference Is Now Necessary. By E. C. SNYDER. Wellington CorrfRPomleut -Oiiinhn flee Washington, Feb. 24. (Special Telegram.) The "10 day provision" in Jhe cold storage bill which has been having rough hlcdding ever since the conferees agrerd to the clause which would compel shippers to brand the:r shipments "cold stor age," even though tliese shipments arc made in refrigerator cars or in !hc holds of vessels, where the tem perature is maintained at or below 45 degrees above zero, was com pletely knocked out yesterday by the house on a rising vote of to 51, Congressman Evans being the only Nebraskan to vote in the negative. Congressman McLaughlin, a mem ber of the agricultural committee, fhile in favor of branding food in i old storage and a champion of the bill as it originally passed the house, could nut stand for the pro visions as agreed to by the con forces and he said so during the course of the debate on the con ference report. He said that the pro vision as agreed upon in conference would work both to t tie detriment of the producers and the consumers. Knowing that the conference re port on the cold storage bill would be taken up by the house at an early day Mr. McLaughlin got the consent of Speaker Gillclt to offer an amendment striking out of the definition of the term "warehouses," the words "including a car, vessel, or other vehicle." In the mean time, however, the senate acted on the conference report which pre sented a parliamentary status pre cluding the offering of the motion to recommit. When the situation be came known, there was nothing left for the house to do but to disagree with tM conference report and ask for a further conference on the ob noxious clause, f Mr. McLaughlin in the course of his rem-ks stated that he was in favor ol cold storage legislation, having been much interested in the preparation of the bill which orig inally passed the house, but that the 10-day provision included in the conference report would make it necessary for shippers of produce in the west to label their products "cold storage" before shipment was made to New York and other east ern terminals, . because in many cases the goods would be in transit 10 days or 'more.

President Harding's new shipping board will be compelled to scale down the prices of all ships to get the government out of the ship ping business. All reports to Wash ington by Mios? who have consulted with Mr. Harding arc to the clTci t that he favors such action as will facilitate the disposal of the fleet a.ul permit the development of the American merchant marine by pri vate enterprises. Included among the ships which will be affected bv whaUver-. policy the new board lays down as to prices are three former German pas senger ships. Just at present ho one seems to w;.r.t these passenger ships at any jrice.

Proponents of Walsh Bill Appear Before Committee Washington, Feb. 24. Proponents of the Walsh bill to allow use of Yellowstone park flood waters for irrigation in Montana argued today before a senate committee that the project would result in reclaiming $.30,000,000 worth of land which would provide farms for 31,000 people. Henry Gerhart. engineer for Mon-tiita-' irrigation projects estimated th-cost of dams in the park to hold back the flood waters at $300,000. He declared Secretary of the In terior Payne was in error in saying that constant enroachment on the paTk area would be entailed by a congressional grant of -.privileges now asked.

Assortments are broad and the values are extraordinarily appealing. Be down early Friday morning. when the inim.uon nut instituted by William Kandolph Hearst blocked their sale. Not only have developments in the shipping market since that Mintc made it impossible to sell the ships', but as yet they have been of little; use to the government, cither for its own pin se or as a help in build ing up (he merchant marine. The Hearst injunction suit came at a time when shipping conditions were favorable, freight rates being high and shipping companies be ing in a position to make enormous profits. The bids received for the three former German passenger ships were considered by John Har ti mi Payne, then chairman of the shipping board, to be as favorable as could ever be expected. Values of ships have suffered a slump since the time of the Hearst injunction suit. Steel cargo ships formerly held ly shipping board at about $210 per dead weight ton. arc now held at about $loS per dead weight ton. but without any pur chasers at that price.
