HOUSE WILL MAKE
NO INVESTIGATION
OF SyONAP ING CASE
Action Decided Upon'After
Hearing on Berger
Resolution.

There will be no Congressional in
vestigation into the circumstances sur
rounding the alleged kidnapping OF
James ]. Mcnamara from Indiana to
California on a charge of being I'M
plicated in the destruction OF the Los
Angeles plant.
This was decided today at the con-
clusion of a hearing granted by the
House Rules Committee on the reso'
luton introduced by Representative
Berger of Wisconsin.
The committee decided that nothing
could be gained by starting an inVes-
tigation of the kind called for in the
Berger resolution, inasmuch as Rep.
resentative Korbly of Indiana has a
resolution before the House Judiciary
Committee amending the eXtradiuon
laws, which, if adopted by Congress
would prevent a repetition Of the Nc
Namara incident.
The committee will print all the tes'
timony taken in the case and submit
it to the House for it's information
when the Korbly resolution is takeI
up for consideration. Mr.. Berger and

STEEL PRICE WAR
!. BEING CONSIDERED =
/. BY HEADS Of TRUST
Judge Gary Wants Rates
Held Up, Associates
Urge Slashing.

NEW YORK, May 29.-Whether there
is to be a price war in the steel trade,
which will affect every article Of manu-
factured iron and STEEL will be decided
within the next twenty-four hours.
Judge E. H. Gary, chairman OF the
board of the Steel trust, who came to
New York today from Chicago. con-
ferred with his associate trustees. He
was accompanied here by E. J. Buning-
ton, president of the Illinois Steel Com
pany, and other officials Of the trust.
When the Steel trust has decided upon
a course of action, II will get in touch
with the independents. except the Re-
public Company, which started the
price-cutting, and a concerted plan of
action is expected to be agreed upon.
Gary does not want a general cut In
steel prices.
He thinks If the various companies
r:cet the cuts on the articles manu-
factured by the Republic, 1t will be
enough. But the other men are more
aggressive. They counsel slashing
everything-including steel rails,
heretofore considered sacred-and
permitting all "gentlemen's agree
ments" to be abolished until next
fall.
Actual competition in the steel
trade, they say, might prevent suits
against the United States Steel Cor
poration under the Sherman anti
Judge Gary will testify before the
Stanley Congressional committee
Thursday. Today he refused to dis
cuss the testimony given by John w
Gates on Saturday, when Gates show

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 11.-Adroitly
aimed at Japanese labor, a bill was
introduced in the Assembly today,
providing for the examination and IL
censing of stationary and steam en-
giueers. Under the provisions OF the
bill a Board of Examiners consisting
of one chief engineer at a salary 81
$4,000 a year and two assistant engin-
GERS at a salary of $4,000 each is Gre
ated. A clerk is also to be employed,
who will receive a salary of $3.50 a
month.
Under the provisions of the bill,
which was introduced by o. R Hayes
Of San Jose, it is misdemeanor for
any one to engage in the occupation
of an engineer or to take charge of q
steam boiler who has not qualified for
such position before the Board of Elk
aminers; and it also makes it mis- =
demeanor for a person to employ a
unlicensed engineer or steam boiler
attendant. The bill is similar to the
one now in force in the State of Wash
ington.
An application filing fee of So is
provided for and So annual fee by all
holders of licenses. Applicants for H.
censes must be citizens of the United
States and of age 1t is understood
that the bill makes it practically inn
possible for a Japanese to hold a po-
sition as fireman or engineer in charge

ternational complications may be the
direct result of the determination on
the part of some of the members Of
the Assembly and Senate of the Thir-
ty-ninth Legislature to enact anti-Ja-
panese laws. The first indication of
the smouldering fire that is burning
came when it became known that
Speaker Hewitt of the Assembly held
up the announcement of his committee
appointments until he had selected the
strongest committee possible for Fed
eral relations, the committee to which
the anti-Japanese bills will be refer
red.
In the Senate, after Hewitt's dilem-
ma became known, it became evident
to Lieutenant Governor a. ]. Wallace
that his committee on Federal Rela-
tions was not exactly as he would
like it to be.
The man on the committee whose
appointment the Senate president re-
GREETED was d. J Beban of San Fran
cisco, who succeeded Marc Anthony in
the upper House, the man who, in
that body at the last session, introduc-
ed and fought for anti-Japanese leg
islation.
Today Senator Beban was removed
from the committee. He gave his con-
sent to the removal, however, and
it was not an arbitrary act on the part
of the Lieutenant Governor. Senator

nese are allowed the same rights. He
insists that the Japanese population
of the Pacific Coast is steadily de-
creasing and in support of that state
ment submits figures. For the past
eleven months 3137 more Japanese
have arrived in Japan from America
than left Japan for America, and the
Consul,General gives figures that
show that the number of Japanese
leaving Japan each year for America
has been smaller and the number ar
irving from America greater every
year since 1908.
Continuing, the Consul General
wrote: "The tendency of the laboring
classes to return to Japan is not di-
minishing. We are not looking for
extended proprietorshi9s in lands in
this State, and if such possession were
our only aim, it might be abandoned
with good grace and little feeling. Our
objections to the bills introduced are
based upon their discriminative feat
ures. They could not be explained
to the Japanese people as being other
wise than unfriendly and offensive to
national pride.
81 think the people of this State
hardly realize. the deep concern felt
in Japan on this subject. Discrimin-
alton at this time would be particu-
larly surprising to the Japanese peo-
pie, in view of the efforts made during
the past two years to cultivate the
good will of the American people, and
prove to them the sincerity of Japa-
nese good will need hardly refer TO
such incidents as the reception eX-
tended the American fleet, the ex-
changing of commercial commission
ers, the sending OF war vessels here
on various occasions TO participate in
| fetes and festivals. and above all, the
voluntary enforcement of regulations
which practically amount to an ex-
clusion act applied to Japanese lab
orers.
eff in the face of these express
sions of good will the State of Cali
fornia should at this time enact meas
ures which are calculated to wound
the susceDtibillties of many people,
fear much of the good work of the
past two years would be undone.
"There is a further consideration 10
which | respectfully beg to direct at
tention at this time. l refer to the
pending negotiations for the revision
of the treaties between the two coun-
tries, and I feel constrained to express
the fear that such negotiations may
be unfavorably affected by the pas
sage of measures by the California
Legislature which are of discrimin
ating character"
