New York, Jan. 25.-Four witnesses
who are expected to testify 70 rthe de-
tense in the trial of Harry X. Thaw
for the killing of Stanford White ar
rived here today on the steamer Adri-
attic from Europe.
The big steamship had considerable
difficulty in getting past Sandy Hook
because of the heavy seas, and it was
on account Of this and the storm of
snow that the witnesses did not land
yesterday. The delay in their arrival
caused an adjournment of the court
early yesterday until Monday. Three
of the witnesses who "ame on the
vessel are physicians, and the fourth
is nurse, vho, it is asserted, attend
ed Thaw while he was i'll in Europe
The identity of the Thaw witnesses
had been a closely guarded secret
and with on exception the names had
not become known when the steamer
arrived today. The known witness is
Dr., Guaja, of Switzerland, who treat
ed Thaw in that country four years

JAPAN HAS
BIC CHANGE
IN POSITION
Her Attitude Regarding I'm
migration to the United
States Modified.
POLICY MADE TO
CONFORM TO THE WISHES OF
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, AL
THOUGH THE POSITION TAKEN
is DISTASTEFUL TO THE JAP
ANESE AT LARGE.
BY Associated Press

Toxic, Jan 25.-Ine program for
today's session of the diet, including
a speech of Foreign Minister Wis
count Hayashi, regarding the immigra-
ton question, was suddenly changed,
and the speech was postponed until
jan so, when il is expected that Wis
count rtayashi will outline definitely
the plans of the government for the
restriction of immigration to America
and Canada. 1t Is understood that
the postponement was due to the fact
that a reply from the american gov
eminent to the last memorandum
from japan was expected to be hand
ed to the foreign office this afternoon.
Since the delivery of Its last mem
orandum, the Japanese government
has issued the most stringent instruc-
tons to all governors and other Off
Gals concerning the regulations OF
future immigration along the lines OF
the future definite policy OF restr1c-
ton which includes the prevention OF
emigration of laborers to America and
Canada, except under given conditions
whf-h will be satisfactory TO the gov
ernments of both of those countries.
No laborers will be permitted TO emil
CRATE to Mexico.
Evidence of the determination of
the Japanese government is shown by
an official order issued to emigration
companies today, wherein all emlgra-
ton to the Hawaiian Islands is abso-
lutely prohibited except in the case
of relatives of Japanese already re-
siding there. The order bearing on
emigration to the Hawaiian Islands
has created CONSERVATION among the
emigration companies, who expected
to institute a virulent attack upon the
foreign office policy IN this respect
Viscount Hayashi, however, is deter
mined not to yield, and says that the
.JaDanese government. having given
premise. will not recde from 1t, regard
less Of polit3c al pressure.
