DOOMED BANKER is
STILL AMONG LIVING

Macon, Ca, May 21.-Despite asser-
tions by several physicians that he
cannot live, B. Sanders Walker, the
young banker who swallowed poison
by mistake a week ago, is making a
desperate battle for life today. Walk
er's remarkable vitality is puzzling
physicians and specialists throughout
the country. Last night Walkers physi-
clans believed the end was near. The
patient, however, steadfastly assured
them that he was determined to live.
After an all night fight with death,
Walker rallied slightly this morning.
At 8 o'clock his pulse was 1876, respira-
tion 81, and temperature 80.

IS ASKED
T0AVO|DMAK|NG
ANY WAR TALK
Representative Who is to
Speak on Alien Land
Ownership Question is
Called Before President.

Washington, D. c.. May 21.-Presi.
dent Wilson today sent for Repre-
sentative Sisson of Mississippi and
urged him not to make any speech
that would offend the sensibilities of
Japan.
Mr.. Sisson, who recently made a
"war speech" had given notice of his
intention to speak in the house Friday
on the legal phases of the Japanese
alien land question. He had twenty
minutes conference with the president
during which. however, he assured Mr..
Wilson that he would not discuss the
pending negotiations or touch on any
thing of an incendiary character, limit
ing himself to an argument on alien
land ownership. ..-r.- .2.-
That was the white house version of
the conference, though Mr. Sisson him
self declined to make any comment,
declaring merely that he would speak
on Friday.
The president is known to be
anxious at this stage Of the Japanese
question and particularly as to any
observations on racial discrimination.
It Is indicated at the white house
that the American note just sent and
that the tenor of the future exchanges
will be to assure Japan that the ma
jority of Americans have a genuine
respect and admiration for the achieve
ment and character of her people. Pub
lie expression that might give an op-
posite impression are regarded at the
white house, particularly at this time,
as seriously embarrassing the negotia-
tions between the state department
and the Japanese ambassador.

SEE LONG DELAY
BEFORE I TAR|FF
. BILL IS PASSED
Republican Leaders in the
Senate Predict That De-
bate Will Last Two or
Three Months.

Washington, D. c., May 21.-Pros.
poets of tarin session that will drag
through hlistering days Of dull debate
to Sept. / loomed menacingly large
today.
The threat of Senator Penrose, re.
publican leader of the senate, that 1t
would take two or three months" Of
debate on the individual paragraphs
of the Underwood Wilson measure,
added to the expected certainty of a
month in senate committee and caucus,
and no one knows how long In con.
ference, made this prophecy seem all
too true.
But the big development Of the after.
noon Of discussion in the senate was
the new revelation OF discord and
friction among the democratic leaders
Who will finally pilot the tariff mea.
sure to safety no one knows, but the
present leadership of the democratic
majority, divided among Senator'S Sim
mons OF North Carolina, Kern of Indi-
ana, Smith of Georgia and German OF
New York, with. Senators James of
Kentucky and Hughes of New Jersey
as the white house messenger boys;
threatened anew to spell trouble.
Probably the most significant de-
velopment of the present tariff situa-
tion, however, was the declaration Of
the republicans that after the end OF
this week ''all pairs would be can
celed"
II cannot see how. We can possibly
get away before Sept. ]" said Senator
Penrose, the majority leader The
democrats have not yet learned the
responsibilities Of being in the ma
jority, and things are moving. much
too slowly for prompt determination
OF any question: 81 n. 4.
That. republican senators also pla1i
rs insist upon amendments to nearly
every item In the Underwood tarih
bill when 1t comes before the senate
for general discussion became evident
when Senator Penrose, former chair
man OF the finance committee, declared
that every mem ber of the minority
would have amendments to propose.
To Stop Hearings.
Members OF the senate finance COM
mittee decided today to hear no more
on the schedules of the
Underwood bill after next Tuesday
and then begin actual work OF revising
the bill.
Senator Simmons announced that no
individual members of the committee
could spare any further time listen
ing to manufacturers and that all who
wish to be heard must apply to the
various subcommittees. After next
the committee : expects to
complete the bill in four days or in
time to report TO- the full committee
the following Monday. Then, the
democratic caucus will be called.
Simmons believes now that
the bill will be ready for the senate by
June 7.
The cutting OF of hearings will not
stop the filing OF briefs which will be
received until the committee completes
the bill. " n.
May Publish Objections.
The fight between republican and
democratic senators over making pub
lie names Of manufacturers who will
appear before finance subcommittee
and publishing briefs filed in protest
against rates, was renewed today when
the senate finance committee met.
