Occupies Two Rooms Only.

Temporary quarters We're found for the
new department on the seventh floor of
the Willard building. This was done by
moving the Office of commissioner of i'm
migration to another part of the build
ing. AS it is, Mr.. Wilson has two rooms,
one occupied by himself as his private
office, and the other by his private sec
rotary. While this created a crowded
condition, Mr.. Wilson said, it will have
to do for the present.
Discussing the question of appropr.a-
tons for his department, Mr.. Wilson said
there was absolutely no doubt that bill
would be introduced providing appropria-
tons for the work of the new department
as soon as the special session of Congress
convenes. He said the bill creating the
new department was rushed through at
the last minute, and was signed only
about an hour before adjournment. In
the hurry and turmoil coincident with the
closing hours an appropriation for the
department was overlooked.

folio Not Deferred by
Lack of Money.

Despite the fact that Congress failed to
appropriate money with which to conduct
the new Department of Labor which il
created. that department began its work
this morning in the Willard building on
1eth street. which housed the former De-
partment Of Commerce and Labor.
The interesting question has been raised
as to the right of the officials Of the new
department to serve the government with
out salaries in view of law on the
statute books which prohibits the giving
of voluntary service to the government.

Doesn't Think Law Applies.


Secretary wilson. however, declared
this morning that he did not think the
law applied in case where the salaries
were expressly provided for. even though
there was no appropriation from which
they could be paid. At any rate, ne
said, the work of the new bureau will go
forward. The first Secretary Of the
baby department" of the government
said that he had. not yet had time to
make any plans for the workings of the
department which he heads. Imme-
diately after the oath was administered
to him late yesterday afternoon, he went
to work in an attempt to clean UP some
of the business which had accumulated
since the beginning of the department.
Included in this were large number of
immigration cases which the law re-
.quires must be signed by the Secretary
himself. He took the oath in the Office
of former Secretary of Commerce and
Labor Nagel, and then held a reception
to the officials of the various bureaus of
the labor department. This morning Mr..
Wilson said he called the bureau officials

KAYE, THE KLEENER.

Keep your clothes cleaned and
pressed is motto all men and women
should bear in mind. OF course we
hear much comment every day from
fastidious people who have great diff
ficulty in getting their clothing prop
erly cleaned, but the reason for their
remarks is this: they do not employ
reliable cleaners. Kaye, the Kleener,
is the man for the people, not part of
the people, but all of the people. His
workmanship is expert His shop is
known as the little shop with the big
business. Why has he the big bust
ness? Every reason in the world for
it. He does exactly what he says he
will do. If it's cleaning, he cleans, not
half cleans; if it's pressing, sponging,
etc, he does that to the best of his
ability. Anything in the renovating
line Kaye the Kleener does. Every
customer is pleased with the price and
work. Absolutely satisfactory to all or
money refunded. Kaye solicits the
patronage of all, for he guarantees to
please and succeeds. His wide trade
tells its own story. Remember the

WESTBERG GROCERY.

How often we hear women complain
ing about their grocers and how often
the grocer is to blame. Is it not a
treat to find a reliable man dealing in
the best groceries obtainable who will
always send the best to his customers.
A grocer strictly reliable is friend
of the busy housewife. A dependable
grocer is Mr.. Westberg, proprietor of
the Westberg Grocery, 2995 Broadway.
His four years experience has taught
him how to please and his patronage
speaks of his merits. Anything in
staple and fancy groceries, flour, feed,
and vegetables, Mr.. Westberg sells
and sells at good prices. He's the
man that saves you time, money and
temper. No grocery troubles, all
swept into the past when dealing with
the Westberg Grocery. One wagon
makes deliveries all over the city.
Telephone in your orders and they
come filled, not as the grocer felt like
filling them, but as you ordered. A

Still Champions Free Wool
and Free Sugar in
Three Years
MINOR CHANGES
IN TARIFF BILL
A Few Are to Be Made by
the Finance Com
mittee

Washington May l6.--President Will
son came out strongly yesterday as a
champion OF free wool and free sugar
in three years as provided for ip the
| Underwood bill, and announced emphati-
cally he was not considering and would
not consider a compromise of any sort.
| This utteranee was made to the news
papermen at a White House conference.
At the same time the Senate was en-
gagged in a protracted debate at the end
of which an agreement was reached to
vote to-day on the question OF public
hearings on the tariff BILL
First among the possible changes to
be made in the Wilson Underwood tar
i'll bill by the Senate committee on fin
anee will be amendments intended to
equalize the ratio between the duties
on raw materials and on finished prod
uets. The committee on ways and
means will expect, for example, that
the rates on ginghams and other cloths
made from dyed yarns will be increased
The manufacturers have made it clear
that the increased expense of yarns of
this class has not been reflected in the
rates of ginghams and both committees
are willing to make it a matter OF pol
icy to amend the bill scientifically. In
line with this policy it is predicted that
wheat and cattle will be made free. The
Underwood bill carries a duty of ten
cents bushel on wheat and makes
wheat flour free, except from countries
which impose a duty on American flour
Fresh beef is made free and cattle are
dutiable at ten per cent. in the Un
derwood bill and the same is true OF
mutton and sheep. These are ready OK
amples of the diameter of the changes
to be expected in the Senate and are
the only kind upon which either the
committee on ways aud means or the
is willing to agree 1t is
asserted at the White House and by
leaders at the capitol

herein can possibly e made in the tariff |

Peaceful Attitude Shown by
Mikado'S Govern
ment
NEGOTIATIONS
WITH AMERICA
Moving Satisfactorily and
the Results May Be
Important

Toxic, May l6.I'he Japanese foreign
Office is optimistic as to the outcome OF
alien land ownership legislation. In re-
ply to an inquiry yesterday morning, 1t
was stated by high official:
"The negotiations between Japan and
the United States are progressing salts
factorily. We expect TO reach friendly
and permanent solution of the diff
Guilty"
SO as not to embarrass diplomatic me-
gotiations, the government continues TO
discourage the holding of meetings and
demonstrations and Wednesday night
called off reunion arranged by the
American-Japanese society
Publicists, however, discuss the deyel-
opments in the controversy over the Cal
ifornia alien land ownership bill. They
declare that the California difficulty is
merely one proof that the time has ar
rived to fix the relations between the
white and colored races OF the world.
In striking article, NJ. Tokutomi,
editor of The kokomin, says that "the
white mems clique must be overthrow
in the interest.of Japan and in the in
terest of humanity" Other writers ex-
press themselves in a similar strain,
asserting that the japanese are in danger
of exclusion from almost everywhere in
the world, chiefly through racial preju
dice on the part of the whites. The solu-
ton Of the great questions involved, it is
argued, can only be found in destroying
the white mems misconeeption OF the
of the eolored races by ia
pan attaining the same level of civiliza-
ton as the West, developing both physi-
cal and moral strength along all lines.
This fairly reflects the more conserva
tive opinion in Japan.
