The Ladies Aid Society and the
Wednesday Afternoon Club of the
Presbyterian church held picnic in

made for the picnic before learning
to the contrary. The second We'd
nesday in September has for years
marked the beginning of the seasons s
activities for the Wednesday Club

said There is neither time nor op-

MAY CONCLUDE
NEGOTIATIONS
Diplomats at Washington Believe
They Have Removed All
Points From Field of Dis
cussion, and Next Step
Must Be Taken in
Courts.

Washington. July 1e.-The American
reply TO the last two Japanese notes
on the California alien land law was
delivered to-day by Secretary Bryan
TO Ambassador Chinda, VINO at once
cahled II to Tokyo. AS in the case or
the preceding notes. the contents or
the latest one were withheld from
publication.
There Is some expectation in official
circles that the delivery of this last
note will conclude the negotiations on
this subject between the two coun-
tries for the present at least II not
altogether. II is declared that the
American reply to the various points
OF objection to California legislation
has been made SO complete as TO re-
move most of them from the field OF
discussion. Even In cases where the
Japanese contentious have not been
manifestly completely negatived, the
expert diplomatists are said 10 have
SO framed their responses as to re-
duce the points TO clear issues which
probably can be adjusted only on the
basis OF judicial decisions.
Five Notes Exchanged.
The result has been reached through
the exchange of 1--WE notes. the nego-
tiauons beginning May last. with
the original protest by japan against
the projected alien land owning act BY
the California Legislature This
elected reply from Secretary Bryan
on May -. or as soon as he had been
advised cf the actual signature of the
Webb act by Governor Johnson On
June 4. ehe Japanese government filed
It's reioinder. and on July 3. this was
supplemented by an elaborate eXpan-
sion OF the arguments
Unless the Japanese Foreign once
concludes that there is something in
the American note deliveded to-day,
requiring immediate attention and re-
ply. probably there Will be no further
diplomatic exchange for at least an
other month At the expiration OF
that time, the webb alien land own
ing act will become effective, and the
way Will be opened for judicial test
OF It's cCnstitutionality.
The State Department Is looking to
the japanese government at least to
take the Initiative In securing a Judi
cial determination of the question as
to whether this act is in conflict with
existing treaties. or whether II yio-
lates privileges 10 which the japanese
are entitled under the broad princi-
pies of international law. While the
Japanese negotiators have unoHcially
expressed the opinion that 1t was the
duty OF the American government to
make this test, following precedent
