CALIFORNIA GIRLS
 REFUSE TO DANCS

Officers of the Japanese Navy Greaty Affronted- Government Not Concern. ed in the Row.
Special from United Press )

Washington. Dec. 7-Efforts to hea the breach between the Japanese maya officers and the people of Southern California, as a result of the reported refusal of Pasadena society girls to dance with them. probably will be made through an attempt to show the Japanese officers unusual hospitality in other places.
 Neither the Japanese Embassy nor the State Department has been offic- ially informed of the affrOnt to the Japanese officers. The view is taken here that if the California girls re- fuse to dance with Japanese officers the government of neither country car force them to do so. For this reason the incident Is not likely to become . subject of international importance said a State Department official to. day.

president and Is not fixed policy. Mr..
Jordan's idea is that the house of gov
ernors should deal with state as dis
tinct from federal policies and for this
reason believes that future meetings
should be held away from Washington.
To avoid jealousies they should make
a rotation of state capitals.
There Is a rather interesting story
Of the initial meeting of the governors
at the White House. tell this as Mr..
Jordan told it to me. In 1907 he sent
his plan to each of the governors and
to other prominent persons, including
President Roosevelt. In response he
heard from many of the executives
approving the idea, some In most en-
thusiastie terms; also from leading
educators and others. From the desk
In his compressed library he took out
a sheaf of these priceless missives
with the remark that "some day they
may be historic" Among them was
one Of warm commentator from
former President Charles William
Eliot of Harvard, but none from the
White House. The acknowledgment
from Roosevelt came in a different
way. Shortly after Mr.. Jordan issued
his letter n neya item aDDeared In the
papers that the president intended call
ing a conference of governors when
ever occasion arose. 1t was several
months before that occasion appeared.
Then came the call for the famous
convention of governors held on May
ID, 1908, to consider the conservation
of natural resources. 1t is regret

the true author of the plan, was not

the New York papers has given him
full credit and is running an editorial

Its Moral Influence.
1t is not Mr.. Jordans idea that the
house of governors should have power
other than advisory. II should hope it
would not" he said. He does not de
sign it to be an extra lawmaking body
Its moral influence, however would be
great. Nor would he attempt to predict
what proportions 1t might assume in
future. 1t should cover the buffer ter
ritory between the federal government
and the individual states. There are
only about eighteen general subjects
reserved to congress, while Mr.. Jordan
has found fifty or more with which
the house CT governors might properly
deal. Among these are marriage and
divorce laws. rights OF married wo-
men, trusts. insurance, child labor,
capital punishment. direct primaries,
convict labor. prison reform, contracts.

need Is for uniform laws on these and

have exclusive power Some authority

this control without stretching If not

The Initial Conferences.
So much for the man. Now for his
idea. The two meetings of the govern
ors during President Roosevelt's term
did not exactly realize Mr.. Jordan's
plan. They met at the White House
&c the presidents call TO consider the
question of conservation. Mr.. Jordan
would have them meet yearly at their
ewn call in different state capitals,
free from federal domination, to con-
slider al questions. The coming con-
ference to be held at the White House
on Jan. IS, 10 and 90 is more nearly in
line with his plan since 1t is called

pose and may discuss uniform legisla-
