Live Oak People Protest Leases Made To Japanese.

Rumors of an increase in the acreage to be cultivated by Japanese in the Live Oak district, this morning aroused 50 farmers from Seventeeth avenue to call in District Attorney Frank Murphy to see if such a move could be stopped under the law, according to H. Wagner, on of the group.
Mr. Wagner said that Mr. Murphy told them that there was no legal way to control the leasing or selling of land.
The group then laid the situation before the Santa Cruz Realty company. It is understood that the matter has been settled in a manner satisfactory to the farmers.
Among the group were Mr. Wagner, C. E. Graves, Grover Graves, E. M. Harness, Mr. Miller, Mrs. Young and F. W. Fassler.
