Then bavins l;.bi a record of busi
ness administration before the peo
ple it is their intention, it wa learned
today, to stop out of it politics for
fcood and all. .
There wore little or no develop
ments tonay in the theater of war
between the ' big four" and "the out
laws," except a report which gained
circulation about town to the effect
tiiat Supervisor Ben Hollinger has ex
pressed himself in faor cf various
parts of the "city manager" scheme
Ktarted by the "efficiency party." and
lie would support it in some respects.
This .was believed to be an indica
tion of the breaking up of "the out
laws." Supervisor Hollinser interviewed
this morning said that the Plan to
trine back the various little offices
which had been cut off from the city
and county engineer's department in
the last few years, under the manage
ment of one man and empowerin
that man to employ and discharge the
men under him at will was perfectly
agreeable to him in some ways but,
that he would like to give the plan
a thorough investigation before suit-
porting It In full.
Another rumor which gained ground
this morning was in regard to Harry
E. Murray, who was deposed from his
position of superintendent of wafr
works by the board of supervisors .1
the last meeting. It was understood
that A. S. Cantin, newly-appointe!
city and county engineer, would ap
point the former waterworks super
intendent as supervisor of road con
true tion and road maintenance.
No appointments will be made to
night at the meeting of the board of
supervisors unless A. M. Cristy, dep
uty city and county attorney, is ready
to give an opinion as to whether the
mayor has the right to appoint men
for the positions of fish Inspecw
milk inspector and other such offices
The appointment of John Markham
for the position of parks superinten
dent will probably not be brought up
at all except perhapJ a casual way
"I don't think we wfll totlcu: on ap
pointments tonight," said Supervisor
K. A. Mott-Smith this : morning, "and
not until we have brought the vari
ous little offices which have been cut
off from the city and county engineer
under one nead. This putting of the
offices under one man will take the
fcdmlnistration of the public works de
partment entirely out of politics and
we intend to do the same with al
other departments." .

FOUR BAKERIES MAY

LACK OF FUEL OIL
That the local oil shortage will soon
show its effect on at least three large

Co. is that white Tour is not only
ch -aper in price than other flours, but
that it is easier to handle and gives
much better results in every w,ay, as
darker flours are liable to sour in
the dough, and the keeping quality
is not as good as in bread prepared
from vhite flour. The experience of
the, company has been that all kinds
o)' cereals, such as Graham and
whole wheat flour, do not keep for
any length of time in this climate.
Henry May & Co. quotes whole
wheat flour at 4-V cents a bag. retail,
and Graham flour at 40 cents. This
company informs the commission:
"Graham and whole wheat flour
coiild be imported in carload lots and
pa.ked in large containers, which
would creatly reduce the price, but
Imnortation could onlv be made in

for our visit Japan and the United
States are now allies in fighting for a
common cause, and It is an ideal mo

and talk over the . questions which
mutually interest t;s. It is our dream
that the temporary alliance between
the two countries will last much
longer than the present war. Indeed
we expect that the war will lead to
the historic result of bringing us close
together for all future time.

"We desire to study your economic
conditions. We wish to viBit your
cities and your factories. We want to
know the causes of your prosperity.

the Pacific Coast, with the special pur
pose of studying the question of Jap

problem. Personally I have the feel

United States lack an understanding
of what is expected of then, and I
think that we. coming from the home
country, can give them some sugges

assimilate with American life in a
manner to meet the ideas of the Ame

Mr. Masao also spoke of China. He
was asked whether the people of Ja

that he did not believe that Issue to

Revision of Treaties With Japan, China and Italy Desired to
This End Drafted Aliens to Be Granted Citizenship Im

(Special Cablegram to Nippu Jiji)
WASHINGTON, D. C, Sept. 28. A decidedly important step toward
drafting the Japanese, Chinese and Italian aliens in the United
States was taken today when the House military committee asked
Secretary of State Lansing to enter immediately into negotiations with
the governments of Japan, China and Italy, with the view of securing from j
these countries a revision in the existing treaties to enable the Lnited
States to draft the subjects of the three countries for the big national army
for service in France.
According to the tentative plans
now being worked out by the house
committee every Japanese, Chinese or
Italian alien upon being drafted' will
be given full American citizenship,
waiving the requirement of first nat
uralization papers. At present the
Chinese cannot be naturalized In the

Here are some of the questions asked
by the commission and the answers
given by the bakery:
Q. What per cent of your total
output is brown bread?
A. At present about l) per cent.
One month ago this figure would
have been five per cent.
Q. Do you have any trouble stor
ing graham, whole-wheat or rye
flour?
A. One has to be very careful to
store these Hours in a clean, airy
storeroom, . and, if possible, away
from other flours or grain as the
life of them is very short, there be
ing danger of the flour weevil any
time after same has been in our
climate over 30 days.
Q. Do you have any difficulty in
obtaining graham, whole-wheat or
rye flour?

ble in getting same as long as freight
conditions permit shipments to be
made regularly from the coast.
