NEW VIEW IF JAP SITUATION ON COAST SIGNIFICANT INDICATION OF
 WEAKNESS POINTED OUT
 AT WASHINGTON
ROOSEVELT ACTION EXPLAINED
LEGISLATION PROPOSED WOULD JEoPARDIzE AGREEMENTS
 MADE WITH JAPAN

WASHINGTON, February 3.-No other question is absorbing the con cern of the administration at this mo ment to the same extent as are certain phases of the anti-Japanese agitation in California.
 The president has been in communica- tiop with many persons who should be thoroughly informed as to conditions on the Pacific coast
 It is admitted that systematic agita- tion has been in progress on the coast, but the significant feature of its lack of strength was the fact that the labor leaders have taken no prominent part in it.
 It even has been stated to the admin istration that the handspring of the agi- great corporations that had found their profitable business of coolie transpor- tation threatened with destruction by the success attending the efforts of the administration to stop this class of i'm migration.
 The fact IS, that, m the oplnlon or the administration, negotiations with Japan for a virtually complete closure of American ports to the entry of Jap anese laborers are jeopardized by the extreme utterances of certain persons in California and by the mere consid eration of such resolutions as were en tertained yesterday by the Nevada leg islature.
 Even agreements already reached which are being carried out in good faith by the Japanese government. arc regarded as endangered in the sense that the present agitation might very naturally tend to abate the interest of the Japanese officials in the execution of their obligations.
 It is these considerations that have influenced the president to conclude that everything possible should be done to prevent legislation by any state that would discriminate against the Japa | nese as class apart from other for eign elements entering America.

WOMEN GARDENERS.
Unique institution Started Abroad hy
 American Women.

Two American women are conduct ing what is described as "a village Utopia" in England One of them, Mrs. Victoria Woodruff Martin. has enjoyed intermittent celebrity for a good many years. The other is Mrs. Martins daughter. Miss Zula Maud Woodruff
 The village is near Norton Park, the
 estate which Mrs. Martin inherited from her second husband several years ago. It is called BredoD's Nor ton and until recently was tumble down, decaying agricultural village managed in the old. inefficient style and quite cut of from the outer
 world"
 The two Americans improved the village had fight with the education authorities. which resulted in com plete reorganization of the school, and finally restored the old manor house and opened 1t as a woman's agricul- tural club.
 A pamphlet describing the club and its objects gives this outline of the conditions of membership: Members staying at the club will be able to take lessons in gardening dairy or poultry work or bee keeping for long or short periods.
 Members who have trained at any of the existing colleges can live at the club and rent small plots, from half an acre upward. which will enable them | to make a start in market gardening
 with very little outlay.
 "A horticultural school is carried on in connection with the club. The younger students, under the necessary supervision, will live in separate houses
 Members may attend the higher courses at Cheltenham Ladies' college Members who live fin the village or | immediate neighborhood may obtain | all meals at the club at d very moder ate price. This is an important item | as gentlewomen are often deterret | from settling in the country on ac | count of the great difficulty of getting l any one to do the necessary cooking ' and housework. By being able to ob | tain their meals they are more or less | independent of the servant question and manage very well with occasional
 help"
 The various fees charged the clut
 members are all moderate, says Towr and Country, and the cost of living
 and learning depends in every cass
 upon the members earning capacity
 To the girl of small means, say $20t
 a year, the club aims to open the dooi to life full of interest, pleasant work
 health and ample recreation.
 l The house is a beautiful stone Eliz abethan manor house, with the dat,
 15S5 over It's stone gateway. Int country is charming, and the young women members of the cub, whicf
 already is self supporting, have fol their use motor launch on the Ayor

 boating. They have good library il
