REVENUE BILL IS GIVEN ID SENATE AFTER HARD WORK Both Houses Recess Today and Vote to Held Night
 Sessions COMMISSION BILL AGAIN WITH O'NEAL Smith Regulation Bill and Revenue Measure Will Come Up for
 Final Action in Senate
 Tomorrow
THINK REVENUE BILL
 STILL HAS A "JOkER"

Montgomery, March 22-(Spe-, cial. )-While the finance and tax ation committee of the senate is insistent that the insurance fea- ture of the revenue bill is to be merely 'circumstanee" in the derivation of the basis of taxa ton, business men. who have been at the capitol protesting against insertion of the clause maintain that none of the ob- jectionable features has as yet been removed. They state that the clause has been solved as to give the appearance of be- ing without odium, but that the drastic provisions are still in tact in that the circumstance, in the long run, might be the chief dependence of assessors in fixing the taxes.
 .Indicatio are that the mer- chants and property owners will resist the clause to the end. The bill has made special order for Friday.

Prof. Kikkawa Talks

New Orleans, March 22.-Prof. Suketeru Kikkawa of the faculty of the Imperial University of Tokio, who left here today for San Francisco, declared that no per son of any intelligence in Japan takes seriously the rumors of war with the United States.
 "Of course, there are some jingoes who are pugnaciously inclined" he said, "but the thinking people of the United States are our best friends. Personally. l have always had the most friendly feeling for the United States and my treatment here has been most cordial. I do not think my government is seeking quarrel with anyone, much less than the United States"
 Professor Kikkawa for the past several months has been. studying the various plans of agricultural instruction in Euro pean and American colleges.
 Seattle Wash, March 22.-Samuel c. Reatts, United States consul to Formosa, who is in Seattle on his way to his post in the Orient said that there was no foundation for the reports that Japan was fortifying Formosa. MT. Reatts said no Notifications had been built there by the Japanese in the last five years

President and Japanese Ambassador Chat With
 Unusual InfOrmality
NEWSPAPER STORIES
 AMAZE PRESIDENT
Baron Uchida Assures Taft of Friend ly Feeling of Japan Toward United States = Professor
 Kikkawa Interviewed

Washington March 22.-Presdent Taft today had a most cordial interview with the Japanese ambassador. Baron Uchida. MT. Taft sent for the baron to feicitate with him upon the ratification of the new treaty between this country and Japan. He took advantage of the occasion to as- sure the ambassador that never in the history of the two countries had the re lations been so pleasant as they are to- day; never had talk of war been moro absurd
 President Taft expressed pleasure al the opportunity to set at rest once and for all the stories which have been pub. lished from time to time during the last two weeks that back of the administra- tions action in sending troops to the Mex ican border was a motive of protection against some expected treacherous act by Japan. It was also reported that Japan had secured from Mexico coaling sta- ton on the Pacific coast to be used as a base in attacking the United States
 Amazed at Reports
 The President declared today he was amazed to find on his return from Au- susta that some newspapers had been giving credence to these reports by pub fishing them in a prominent manner. It was the first he had heard of them and he quickly expressed his regret that such malicious stories,' as he called them. should gain circulation.
 Baron Uchida is said to have assured the President that he attached no im- portance to the reports and had discov- cred that they emanated from irresponsi- hle sources. The interview lasted for fully half an hour, the President and ann bassador chatting with unusual infor- mality.
 President Taft has been greatly an- noyed by the persistent reports to the effect that Japan had negotiated secret agreement with Mexico for coaling sta ton on the Pacific coast and the United States was menacing Mexico as protest
 While confident that the Japanese ann bassador needed no assurances either pri- vate or official as to the purposes of this government, President Taft today con- ceived the idea of inviting Baron Uchida to the White House for conference, so as to give the greatest publicity possible to a denial which the President hopes Will carry conviction to the American people.

TIGERS CLOSE
TUTW|LER DEAL
Become Possesors of Star of Cotton
States League; He's a Second

The Detroit management has ex-
ercised its option on Infielder Tutwil-
er OF the Hattiesburg club OF the Cot
ton States league. Tutwiler pleased
Hdghie Jennings and Bobby Lowe in
the early stages OF the year. Joe
Sugden has been following him for
several days and closed the option
which Lowe secured.
Tutwiler Is rangy youth, fast and
covers an acre of ground around sec
ond base. He is batting we'll over 800
and Is the leagues best baserunner.
The Tigers who saw him In action
early in the spring declare that he
underhands ball to first base with
more speed than anybody in base
ball. His arm is, in fact. one OF his
chief assets.
Tutwiler hits left-handed and his
only weakness is said to be against
left-handed pitchers.
The Detroit management also notes
with satisfaction that Infielder King
has apparently started to burn up the
South Michigan. He Is second-basing
for Flint and got four hits in the sec
ond game yesterday, one OF them a
home run. King has been farmed
to Flint on the optional agreement
basis.
