STEVENSON WANTS
 RECOUNT OF VOTES

Springfield, H., January 11.-Adlai E. Stephenson, democratic candidate for gov ernor in the recent election, signed a petition tonight asking for a recount of all votes cast for that office. The peti- tion was brought to Springfield on a late train by members of the democratic state central committee and probably will be presented to the general assembly, to which it is addressed, tomorrow.
 Frauds or errors in nearly every coun- ty in the state are charged in the peti- ton. Extensive citations o. instances of alleged frauds are made, particular ref erence being made to Cook county, where it is charged there has not been an honest election for 20 years. In general the charges divide themselves into allegations of miscount. charges that unnaturalized citizens were allowed to vote and other charges that persons not citizens of Ill- nois participated in the election and cast their ballots for governor.

JAP PANESE PRESS
 SEEKING TROUBLE Threatened Legislation In Cali
 fornia Is the Cue PASSAGE IS ASSURED
Several lingo Papers Try To Stir Up Popular Sentiment Against United States-officials However Are
 Moderate.

Tokio, January 11.-Following the re- ceipt of special cable dispatches from San Francisco relating to matters now pending before the California legisla- ture, Japanese newspapers here today elaborate upon the strained relations that may arise through the passage of bills and the enactment of laws for bidding the ownership of land and the attendance of public schools by Japan csc residents of the state.
 majority of the papers assume the passage of the bills as a probability and protest against them as an injus- tice to the Japanese now living in Cal ifornia.
 The Asahi, the Jiji and the Nichi Nichi express surprise at what is termed an evidence of unfriendliness after the sincere effort on Japan's part to prove her friendship toward the peo- pie of the United States. The extreme opposition papers assail the Japanese government for falling into the arms of nation which at the first opportunity not only shows it's unfriendly spirit, but even denies equal opportunity to the Japanese.
 Newspapers published in English, representing British and German inter- ests, are making much of the Califor- mia legislatures action and are point ing out that America, while recently endeavoring to create an impression of friendliness toward Japan, in re- ality was unfriendly.
 The situation is seriously embarrass- ing to Americans residing in Japan and especially so as the incident follows so closely the creation of an excellent feeling through the visit of the At lantic fleet, the American commission to the Japanese exposition and the ex- cursion of business men from the cities of the Pacific coast.
 The foreign office is endeavoring to convince the protesting newspapers that the action of the California legis- lature does not represent general American sentiment, but the publica- tions continue to be extremely pessi- mistic in their tones and some of the editorials of the opposition press be- coming violent, the liable to tempora- rily inflame popular opposition and serf- ously hamper the exercise of Ameri- can influence in Japan for many years
