JAPANESE TO QUIT TEXAS

American Legion Arranges for Their Return to California.

HARLINGEN, Tex., Saturday, Jan. 8. -- Following an all-day conference with the two Japanese families which arrived at Harlingen to settle on Texas lands, American Legion representatives last night arranged for the return of the Orientals to California.

The Legion officials further pledged their aid in the recovery of money paid by the Japanese in the land deal, which the Orientals declare involved a sum of $10,000, part cash.

Legion attorneys advised the Japanese that an old Texas law, passed in 1892, forbids alien nonresidents of the state to own land and further informed them that escheat proceedings will lie against Z. Yamata of Los Angeles, from whom the valley land was purchased.
