JAPAN'S WISHES Laid
BEFORE Mr.. BRYAN
Desire that Subjects Have Same Land
Ownership Rights as Other
Aliens Presented.
SETTLEMENT Is NO NEARER

Developments in Washington yesterday
indicated that the Japanese desire that
subjects of the Tokyo government be
given the same rights of land ownership
in the United States as enjoyed by other
aliens has already been clearly presented
to Secretary Bryan by Ambassador
Chinda. 1t was learned that thus far the
United States has not given Japan any
satisfaction on this phase of the con-
troversy between the two governments
More clearly than ever before Il was
indicated that there has been absolutely
no progress made toward settling the
Japanese question arising out of the Cali
fOrnia land act.
The administration yesterday was with
out any advices that a new note is COM
ing from Tokyo, and il was said in the
highest official quarters that presumably
the dispatches from Tokyo referred to
occurrences in the interchange OF views
between the two governments of some
time ago. At the japanese Embassy
ii was admitted that the proposal of a
new treaty, which would give to Jap
anese subjects specifically the right to
own land in the United States, had been
discussed with Secretary of State Bryan.
The discussion of the matter emanating
from Tokyo at this time is attributed to
lhe poHl'dl pressure upon inc Japanese
government by the opposition party. 1t
is believed that every indication of a
strong policy in dealing with the United
States is being given for purposes Of
home consumption. and that the japanese
government thus hopes to allay the hos
tility to its course which has been fire.
Quently expressed by japanese.
Nothing is being done at the State De-
partment 50 far as can be discovered
here, toward formulating "A reply TO the
Japanese note Of several weeks ago. The
administration is clinging to its policy
of going as slowly as possible in the
controversy. in the hope that, as time
passes, feeling in Japan will moderate
and an adjustment will thus be made
more simple.

MISSISSIPPI BANKER
PRAISES new WORKERS
Witness, Before Senate Committee,
Says Money Center Rendered
Valuable Aid in 1907.
BILLS FEATURE is OPPOSED

There was only a two-hour session of
the Senate Banking and Currency Com
mittee yesterday. the hearing being cut
short by the assembling of the Senate for
the consideration of the last stage Of the
tariff bill on its way to the White House
and the statute books
But two witnesses were listened to, F.
W. Foote. of Hattiesburg, Miss, being
the first to take the stand. He was fol-
lowed by John P. Frenzel. of Indianapo-
lis. Both opposed the GIass-Owen bill
in its present form.
The feature of the administration meas
ure which is most obnoxious to the bank
ers of Mississippi and the other cotton
States. according to Mr.. FOote is
the provision for the eventual elimina-
tion Of collection charges on foreign
checks.
Mr. FoOte told the committee that a
large portion Of the revenue Of the
banks of the South. particularly the rural
institutions. came from collections
Mr.. Foote also deprecated the general
tendency TO attack New York City as
the money center, or the center Of the
money market of the United Stats He
said:
Il must say that the accusations
against New York banks and bankers
that they tie up capital and restrict credit
AZ times of stress does not appear to me
TO be warranted. For myself and my
neiGhbOrs, ! can only remark that we
have had in the past better treatment
from the New York bankers than from
the bankers in any other section Of the
United States
We owe New York a debt of graft
tude that We can never repay for their
treatment of the South during the panic
times of 1876 and during the money strin-
genCy that followed the panic. In the
instance of our own bank at that time
We were in this position: We had hal
anCC of ST5.nn0 with our New York bank
crs and we owed them $I6W0. They
could have appropriated our balance any
day II tn" StrinCcncy period. hut on the
contrary they offered us the use of
SIno."m additional credit 10 tide us
through. Not Currrncy-they did not have
thai-but their crCdIt.
John p. FrrHz"I is vice president II the
Merchants National Bank. of Indian
apOlis and a power in Democratic poll
tics in Indiana for many years. He told
the committee that tn" administration
measure was highly unpopular in In
diana.
The provision Of the bill making sub
~criptIon to the stock Of the regional
reserve bank obligatory under penalty
OF charter forfeiture he declared unfair
in view of the fact that the national
banks Of Indiana, as of the other States,
have acquired their present charters with
the understanding that they should run
at least for the allotted twenty years.
lie also said the Indiana bankers believe
that the hankers of the United States
should have representation on the Fed
eral Reserve Board.

They Raised Their Heads as it to Bid

"They were put on board lighter in

Certainly they moved and the heads
seemed to rise as if the bodies We're

"The effect upon the boatmen was
most panicky, and even the unsuper-

uncanny were occurring.
"The explanation is absurdly simple.
The heat of the sun had caused the
expansion of certain parts, but it was
never a satisfactory explanation to
those Nile boatmen. who were for a

The northwest point of the island is
split up into collection Of large
rocks of most fantastic shapes. Houses,
spires, cathedrals and figures of men
and beasts are some Of the forms as
sumed by these volcanic fragments,
which, rising black above the white,
seething foam of the seat that breaks
against their base. give a weird aspect
to the grim and desolate region. Ono
rock resembling large saddle sug-
gested to me the thought that some

have straddled it and perhaps fished
for reptilia over the beetling cliffs
which it surmounts."
