having the same effect as though incor-
porated in the treaty itself.
For some time past there has been
an apparent fear on the part of the
Federal government of giving offense
to our good friend, Japan, and for this
reason the Mikado's government has
been allowed to construe the old treaty
much as it saw fit. Now that a new
treaty is being negotiated, it would
seem to be the better plan to incorpor-
ate in the text of the document itself,
in Enthusiastically plain English, any
limitations we may wish to place upon
japanese immigration, thus avoiding
the risk of future misunderstanding
on this subject. The same clause may
be inserted in all treaties hereafter
made with European and other ma
tions, ard then Japan will have no
cause for complaint.
There are at present too many Jap
anese laborers on the Pacific coast, and
the immigration features of the new
treaty are of far greater Importance
to our people thar are those concern
ing the tariff.

THE NEW JAPANESE TREATY

Thursday the proposed new treaty
with Japan was reported ~favorably to
the United States senate by the com
mite on foreign relations and would
undoubtedly have been ratified had
it not been for an objection by Senat-
or Hale, of Maine. The protest com
ing from q Maine senator, a majority
Of whose constituents probably never
saw a Jap, came as a great surprise to
his colleagues.
Attention was directed by Mr.. Hale
to the absence from the new treaty of
the protocol of the treaty of 1894 in
respect to the japanese tariff to be APP
plicable to the United States. Under
that protocol the present statuary tar
if with japan would be continued
until July 7, 1912, while if the new
treaty were approved, a new high
er tariff would go into effect at once.
A radically different view of the
Japanese treaty is held by those in the
confidence of the state department who
regard the position of Senator Hale
as the result of misrepresentation.
Three distinct benefits they declare,
will accrue to the United States by
giving japan the concessions desired
in way of ratification of the proposed
treaty of July IL, and the commission
of the immigration restriction from
the treaty.
as follows:
First-The United States will Sc
cure the perpetuation Of the present ar
rangement of 1907 through diplomatic
notes and feels able therefore to dis
pense with that stipulation in the
treat of 1884, regarding immigration
which expressed a poential right that
never was exercised. This stipulation
it was pointed out, will not i'm
pair the inherent and sovereign rights
of the United States to legislate on the
subject of immigration, should it so
desire.
Second-The industrial md artistic
as well as property rights, of Ameri-
cans will be protected. The diplomatic
exchange in recent years covering the
rights of American patents and copy
rights are embodied in a treaty.
Third-The United States will con
tinue to receive "~favored nationo
treatment in whatever revision of the
tariff Japan may undertake in the flu
ture.
So much for the financial side of the
treaty. But what most interests the
people of the Pacific slope are the re-
gulations governing immigration.
The probability is that the new
treaty, like the old gives in general
terms full rights of residence of citiz-
ems or subjects of each within the ter
ritories Of the other.
In the present treaty those rights
are limited, with the express provision
that either country may regulate i'm
migration Of labors.
1t the usual form of comforting resi-
dence privileges is attained without
the express limitation of the present
treaty, any restriction of the immi-
grafton of laborers would be a viola
ton OF the terms of the treaty.
However, Secretary Knox is authori-
ty for the statement that there is an
understanding" on this subject,
which will later be reduced to writing

some little adventure or Of an exciting chase
through the forest. The coy corner Is fitted with

create a desire TO tarry for a rest in good, old
fashion comfort. A gun rack, cartridge belts, hol'
sters and other of the articles of a hunters para
phernalia decorate the walls on each side OF this
inviting nook. Tables, chairs, bookcase and writ
ing desk are all In accord and all hand made OF
raw materials. A few clever articles OF convert
ible furniture lend considerable freedom and con-
venience in a room that otherwise would be over
crowded. Among these is q screened dummy ele-
victor which takes the place OF cellar and ~refrigera-
tor and which may be readily converted into a
kitchen table, when required. In carving meats,
kneading dough and for other culinary purposes.
The elevator carriage is four feet in height, with a
series OF shelves. and It is 80 constructed that It's
top forms a square panel in the floor when the
carriage is lowered out OF view. The whole thing
is 30 well balanced with weights operated by cords
and pulleys that It requires but little effort, with
one finger in an iron ring, to raise the top TO table
height above the floor.
The dining table is cleared after supper and
supplied with a new cloth, all fresh and clean.
Then 1t is rolled on its large casters to another
part OF the room. directly under a hanging lamp,
to serve the purpose OF a library table for the re-
mainder Of the evening, The lamp is suspended,
through a hole in the floor, from the ceiling OF the
bed chamber on the second floor. When all are
ready to retire the lamp is shifted to the sleeping
apartment by means Of the raisingand-lowering
device.
The most marked display OF ingenuity has been
applied to the kitchen furnishings. Everything but
the cook stove and pipe is home made. Lard pals
and vegetable tins have been converted into cook
ing dishes and utensils OF every description. A
goodly amount OF creative genius and a twodollar
soldering set produced all Of the tinware used In
the kitchen. On the stove is a cottolene pail that
has been converted into a teapot, complete with
spout, handle, cover and inside strainer. Two deep
tin covers, soldered together at their rims and sup.
piled with spout and handle have produced a very
serviceable hot-water kettle. Then there are stove
lifters and shovels. frying pans and a number Of
other small utensils made from sheet iron stove
pipe lengths-all bent. soldered and riveted by
hand.
Both the kitchen and the bathroom are supplied
with running water conducted to the house from
a spring higher up through a system of wooden
troughs. The bathtub is OF wood. enameled with

FEDERAL JURY STILL PROBING
Who Was Responsible for Ex.
plosions After the Arrest
of Dynamiters?

by Special Leased Wire to New Mexican)
Los Angeles Calf, Dec. 9.-Sheriff
William H. Hammell announced at
noon today that the McNamaras
might be on their way to San Quen-
tin some time between now and to-
morrow morning.
Il am waiting for a special steam
er F" said the sheriff.
The announcement came after the
sheriff had a talk with Judge Bord-
well.
Though the federal grand jury will
not meet again until next Tuesday,
Oscar Lawler, the governments spe-
cial prosecutor of the alleged dyna.
hitting conspiracies, was occupied to-
day with several Of the witnesses,
among them Mrs. D. H. Ingerson, of
San Francisco. The latter kept a
lodging house where James B. Nc.
Namara lived for time. While
there NJ. A. Schmidt, under indict-
ment as an accomplice OF James B.
Mcnamara in destroying the Times
building, anu several other persons,
are supposed to have visited the
place.
Mrs. Ingersolps testimony is re.
garded as important because 1t is ex-
pected to involve certain persons as
having had guilty knowledge of the
explosions occurring subsequent to
McNamara's sojourn in San Francis
CO.
Mr.. Lawler admitted today that the
McNamaras would not testify for the
present. Asked whether the grand
jury had nearly completed it's probe
Mr.. Lawler answered in the negative
indicating that it would take some
time for all the witnesses to be ex'
amined.
The Mcnamara brothers told the
jailors today they were anxious to
leave Los Angeles and begin their
terms in the state penitentiary. J.
B., who has sentence of life i'm
prisonment before him, is more
cheerful than his brother John, who
has only fifteen years to serve, &C
cording to the deputies who have
been guarding the cell where both
are confined.
