JAPANESE NOTE TO UNITED

Agrees in General Terms With Num-
Der of Suggestions Made by Amer

Mikado Being to Remove POSSIBLE

ineton-NataI Act in Operation.

Toxic, Feb. 19.-The memorandum
of the Japanese government in reply
to that Of the United States on the
subject of emigration, mentioned yes
terday, was handed to Ambassador
O'Brien today. 1t is understood that
it agrees in general terms with a num-
Der of suggestions made by the Amer

Their restriction of emigration, by prac-
teal prohibition of laborers.
Makes Complaint impossible.
The Japanese government points
out hat the restrictions already en-
forced, including the closing of emf
grafton to Canada. Mexico and the
Hawaiian islands, will make future
complaints from America almost i'm
possible.
Mikado Tries to Be Good.
Every evidence goes to prove that
the Japanese government has been I'M
sparing in it's efforts to avoid further
complications resulting from the emf,
grafton question, but the government
is facing powerful opposition from the
emigration companies, who are be-
hind the proposed resolution in the
diet to censure the foreign policy of
Viscount Hayashi, minister of foreign
affairs, towards China, America and
Canada.
May Cause designations.
Should such a resolution be intro
duced, it will probably be defeated by
a narrow margin. Its passage would
entail the resignation of the cabinet,
but it is believed a new cabinet would
closely follow the emigration policy OF
HayaShi.

built for members of the Dory asso-

It is expected that within less than a
month there will be a dozen or more

AUTO IS effective
IN FIGHTING FIRES
Report of Eastern Department
Shows Good Work Performed
by the Motor Car
Great Saving of Life and Prop
erty Credited to the New
System
By K. x. PHommedieu

That the automobile is more than
pressure vehicle has long been
acknowledged. 1t has secured prac-
tically almost as strong a position in
the commercial world, but it is only
OF late that its thorough usefulness
mas been demonstrated in the pro-
lection OF life and property through
me IRE department Many cities in
fhe United States use the motor car
for the quick conveyance of the chiefs
10 the scene of the coniagration.
Some few cities have used them in
combination with the engines, but the
city Of Springfield, Mass. is probably
the first to have a complete fire fight
ing system which is constantly being
enlarged. Recently the fire chief of
that city filed with the commissioners
detailed report of the work of the
automobile force. The report states
that in one month the squadron re-
sponded 10 seventy-f five alarms with
total loss OF $4,000. At one fire in
stable the loss amounted to $500,
leaving seventy-four fires in which the
average loss did not exceed $50, which
low proportion the chief accredits to
the fact that the automobile equip
ment Of the department is able to so
quickly arrive on the scene that the
force is able 10 combat a fire In
its incipiency
1t is said that the speed with which
the automobile division arrives at the
fire is almost phenomenal as compared
with the horse drawn vehicles. In many
cases the recall has been sounded with
in five minutes after the alarm was
given So successful have been the
workings of the Springfield automobile
department that many cities have sent
their chiefs TO study the system. Al
ready several OF the nearby places
have started similar divisions.

Meeting in secret yesterday afternoon
the board Of trustees Of the California
women hospital took the preliminary
steps IN drawing up a report TO the
plplc IN answer to the accusations OF
management recently brought out
py Mrs. Laura Bride Powers and Mrs
a ". scott. And. though no definite
report OF the meeting was forthcoming
Y was a matter of common knowledge
that among the primal actions VIII be
en- attempted refutation Of the findings
eI fthe nnance committee, particularly
IN regard to the overcharging for
drugs.
In just what manner this will be
accomplished is a matter of curiosity
mrs. Laura Bride Powers in inform
ing the hospital authorities Of the re-
sllts or her investigation into this
matter, went no farther than TO give
comparison of the prices paid by the
hospltal TO Herbert Dugan, the drug
glst. ana those which she had been
quoted by a leading wholesale house.

Mrs. Powers has received scores ~
letters commencing her for her stand

Many OF the letters are from women
who have had dealings with the hos
pital in the past and still others who
aave acted on the various boards Of

mat the peculiar condition of the
affairs OF the hospital are no new thing
and that other women IN the past have
attempted to remedy similar evils there
Ii was stated last night that the
board Of trustees at the meeting dis
cussed the proposition of bringing
criminal charges against a former
matron OF the institution. charging her
with obtaining goods under false pre-
lenses Since the exposures made by
Mrs. Powers rumors have been current

Legislation in Tennessee Will

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Nov 2.-No attempt
will be made during the next legisla-
ture in this state to repeal the Foust
anti-betting law prohibiting all forms
of book making on horse racing in
Tennessee. This information comes
from turfmen who have been watching
results for some time and who at first
thought that there was a possibility Of
a favorable amendment to the drastic
measure which would permit betting on
the game within the inclosure where
these plans, however, have been aban-
doned now. and if racing Is to be re-
vived at all in Tennessee ii will be at
least three years before favorable legis-
lation can be attempted. as the general
assembly will not convene again until
1911. Failure of the public TO indorse
the recent attempt to revive interest at
Montgomery park is given as one rea-
son why no efforts will be made to re-
peal the present law.
