Brought.

Washington, D. c., July IA
vigorous protest has been received
by the government from the Japan
ese and Korean Expulsion League,
the Headquarters Of which are at
Seattle, washington, against what
is asserted to be an organized traf-
fic In Japanese women, who, it is
alleged, are being brought to this
country In large numbers for Inn
moral purposes. The protest de-
clares that wholesale misrepresenta-
tions. perjury and fraud are prepe-
trated on the part Of the immigrants
and perjury and collusion on the
part Of the Japanese residents In this
country.
It Ia stated that the traffic is re-
gularly organized and that women
are brought into the country and
sold into q system of slavery.
t. In connection with the traffic,
there is said to exist a gang OF
blackmailers composed Of japanese
who live on "hush money collected
from the importers Of Japanese
slave girls. 1t is asserted by the
|ofhcers Of the league that hundreds
|of these women are scattered among
the cities OF the northwest and in
logging and mining camps and that
they are drifting gradually to cities
throughout the country. The pro-
test is signed by @. p. Gill, president
and "A. Il. Fowler, secretary Of the
league. It will be brought to the
attention Of the Immigration auth
critics. al;

Toxic, Japan, July 12.The mass

cific about which the American pa
pers have applied to Marquis Ito for
an opinion is semi officially discussed
by Ito's administration organ. The
paper says:
I'VE cannot help feeling some mis-
giving with regard to the signifi-
canoe of the intended massing Of the
American battleships in the Pacific
especially in view of the grandiose
announcement attributed to Presi-
dent Roosevelt to the effect that the
navy would furnish the world with a
startling demonstration Of Americas s
defensive capacity. It is difficult for
us to accept the assurance that the
coming maneuyers do not possess
any connection whatever with the
Japanese American situation. We re-
|gret that Washington thinks it nee
essary to take what resembles the
precautionary measure. However, we
are not disposed to attach serious Inn
portance to this matter and have nc
inclination to doubt the presidents

ture of the proposed maneuyers.
Neither have we the slightest doubt
