Jap CONFERENCE
TO Be FOLLOWED
BY STATEMENT
Mikado Thought to Have Made
Representations on Hos
tile Legislation.

tonia Legislators.
BACON AT WHITE HOUSE

WASHINGTON. Feb s - President
Roosevelt summoned Senator Flint and
Representative Kahn TO the White
House to-day, and with Secretary OF
State Bacon and Assistant Secretary
O'Laughlln. another conference was
held on the Japanese situation In Cali
forna. Another statement or soma rad
icnl action Is expected tomorrow.
The talk was followed by another
between the President and Secretaries
NewbEry and Wright, at the conclu-
sion u which the direct, uneuuivocal
statement was made by both Secretaries
that the name OF Japan or California
had not been referred to. and that the
discussion was an unimportart one,
relating to bill In Congress dealing
with deserters from the army and navy.
The fact that the State Department
was represented In the conference has
excited more speculation than any other
feature and caused the belief that GER
tain representations have been made by
Japan as to how she regards possible
legislation In California Intmatlon was
conveyed that important messages have
been received from Ambassador O'Brien,
our representative at Toxic, portraying
the feeling there. In reply to inquiries
along these lines. Secretary Bacon de-
clined to talk
Mr.. Kahn declined to discuss his In
terview with the President, but 1t is
known that after his return TO the
Capitol from the conference he sug-
gested to his colleagues In Congress
that time should be given to Japan to
test her ability to keep her ccolie labor
out OF the United States. He urged that
II there should be failure on the part
of Japan there would be time enough
TO act during the approaching special
session Of Congress.
During the day the entire California
delegation in the House with the ex-
ception OF Mr., McLachlan met at lunch
con and discussed the japanese situa-
ton to greater or lesser extent. and II
Is stated upon the authority OF those
present that Mr. Kahn was the only
member In attendance who manifested
an inclination to support the Admins
tration In its attitude toward State ac-
ton on the japanese question II was
apparent that while the delegation was
disposed to be conservative its SYM
pathies were largely with California q
efforts to keep japanese out by means
OF State legislation. II II was not done
by the action OF the Federal Govern
ment. Members of the delegation de.
clare that large numbers Of Japanese
are coming into the United States by
way OF Mexico and Canada,
The House delegation generally sup
ports Senator Perkins In lis attitude on
the action OF japanese exclusion.

Judge Lea sail he sympathized with the defendant and regretted the fact that he woul l have to be held behind the bars. but he held that the evidence at his re- cent trial was not sufficient to war rant bail for him.

Judge Vaughan announced that tho attorneys for the defendant would ask for bail immediately to secure Ellis release from jail.
 It is understood that the three jur- ors who finally voted for conviction for manslaugther were really in favo: of acquittal. but voted this way be- cause they deemed it best for Ellis. because if verdict for manslauShter could be secured he would appeal to the Supreme Court. and at least could be tried again for murder in the first degree.

How the Jurors Stood.

One of the mrors told the reported that the jury stood on the last baI- lot nine for conviction foF inYoInn- tary Hanslaughter and the fiNin@ of the punishment at not more than one year in the penitentiary, and three stood for acqHittal all the time. ia said that all tho other ballots stood six to six. This is taken to mean that six of the jury Were all the time ia favor of an aeQuittal, but We're not willing to compromise on a verdict of some sort. and it is presumed thd' none of this six were for a verdict of anything except manslau2hter
 The cost in the case has been some thing enormous OH the county. and will amount to over $3.a00 this is 10 say nothing of the cost of the de fendant and to the relatives of the deceased The lawyers fees in the case will amount to several thousand dollars. and if the case is tried again it would no doubt result ill as much has at this time.

All of them said that there had been no change in the way the jury stood since the ease had been given into their hands last Saturday night. Of course there were some changes OH the ballots, but these changes were brought about in an ef- fort to get a compromise verdict

POLICE WOMEN IN THE WEST
Cities of Portland and Seattle Are
Said to Have Fourd the Eano-
walton Satisfactory.

The cities of the west are never
afraid Of innovations. says the s..
Paul Dispatch. This is one explana.
ton of the existence Of police women
in Portland and Seattle. The other eX,
PLANTATION must be found in the fact
that these cities have discovered that
police women are needed in the bust,
ness of maintaining order and solv-
ing problems of order in the large
cities. The old theory that men are
the criminals and must be polced by
men is giving way before the fact that
there do appear from time to time
women criminals, and especially Be.
fore the fact that women can be saved
before crime fixes them permanently
in its possession.
In Portland there is woman on
! the police force who has done efficient
work in connection with the Young
( Womens Christian association - an
