PRESIDENT READS
JAPAN REPLY ON
ALIEN QUESTION
Opens Way for Interesting
and Friendly Negotia-
tiOns-NO Official
Reply

Washington, June 5.--After reading
anti-alien land ownership law, and just
before a conference with Ambassador
Chinda, President Wilson today ex-
pressed the view that the new COM
munication opened the way "for very
interesting and friendly negotiations
The President had brief conference
with Secretary Bryan and an informal
talk afterward with Vlscount Chinda
He had explained earlier that he did
not expect to make any official reply
to the Japan ambassador, but would
discuss the Toxic note orally.
The President let it be known that
there was much matter for discussion
in the Japanese note, but that none
of the documents thus far exchanged
by the two governments had in them
selves suggested a solution of the land
law difficulty. He indicated that the
negotiations would proceed slowly and
carefully. withs4a view to sobtaining a
frank expression of the opinions held
by the two nations. Sooner or later,
it was indicated, the meaning of the
federal laws on naturalization would
have to be determined by the courts
though the initiative might have to be
taken by Japanese residents as the
government could not institute pro-
ceedings
No suggestion for arbitrating the
difficulties has thus far been made, it
was learned authoritatively, but White
House officials today reiterated their
confident expectation of an amicable
settlement eventually. The next step in
the negotiations is a reply. to Japan's
reioinder This is expected to take up
the Toxic governments reiterated con-
tention that the Webb law is in con-
travention of the treaty of 1911, de-
rogatory to the equal treatment which
Japanese expect under international
law, and, therefore, racial discrimin-
alton.

Corsicana, Tex, June 5.-W. C. Proctor.
secretary of the Corsicana Petroleum com
pany, and the Magnolia Petroleum COM
pany of Texas, testifying today before
special commissioner in the 500, 900 900
penalty suit, instituted by the state of
Texas against the Standard Oil company
Of New York and New Jersey the Mag

individuals declared that prior to the

pany, predecessor of the Magnolia IL
G. Folger, Jr., and c. N. Payne of New
York transferred 1898 2-3 shares of stock
in the Navarro company to him for which
he gave nothing in return. Messrs. Payne

to the present suit.

that this was done to avoid the suspicion
likely If they were known as owners 2"
asked Attorney Maury of counsel for
the state.
Told Him Nothing
'They did not tell me anything" Proc
tor replied.
At the time the Navarro company was
dissolved after an existence of about two
years, Proctor testified. he returned the
stock to its original owners.
Proctor was on the stand all of to-
day. He asserted that oil purchased by
the Magnolia company of the Huasteca
Petroleum company of Mexico had been
transported in carriers of the Standard
Oil company of New York. Lack of ships
belonging to the Huasteca company made
it necessary for the purchaser to pro-
vide means of transportation. he said
This was arranged through contracts
made with the lighterage department of
the Standard Oil company of New York
He also testified that the Magnolia had
purchased oil from the Standard Oil
company of New Jersey at Mexican
points. The state, as basis for it's suit,
alleges conspiracy between the two
Texas concerns and Standard or inter-
ests to restrain trade.
Mr.. Proctor said he believed the Mag
nolia company made reports to Folger
and Payne as majority stockholders.
A copy of the cipher code used by the
Magnolia company was introduced as evil
dence today and a message from Proctor
to Payne, sent February 3. 1909, trans
lated to refer to certain legislation pend
