ONE THOUSAND PLEDGE THEM
SELVES TO MAINTAIN CHRIs-
TIAN SPIRIT.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, June 1--one
thousand Japanese OF Sacramento were
selected at q mass meeting here last
night by members Of Q party % goy-
eminent officials and business men
from Japan. investigating conditions
in California. to maintain Q Chris
tan spirit and believe in the ultimate
fairness and justice OF the American
people. pending tho outcome OF ths
anti-alien law controversy.
Y. Hattori and s. Erbara, both MEM
bers of the parliament OF Japan; DR..
J. Soyeda, former president of the
Industrial Bank of Japan, and X.
Yomamada. general secretary of the
Y. M. C. a. of Toxic, all Christians,
were the principal speakers.
Erhara, an elderly statesman, told
of the days prior to 1853, when Com
modore Perry established the princi-
pies OF the s'open door in Japan, and
said that then he was protector
OF foreign visitors, escorting them
about the country.
The tenor of the meeting was peace
full and the speakers said though they
regretted the attitude of California
they had faith in the majority Of the
people in this State and In the nation.

YOUNG STUDENT
DIVIDES ANGLES
INvENTs MACHINE MATHEMATI-
CAL EXPERTS HAD DE-
CIARED IMPOSSIBLE.

PHILADELPHIA June Sydney
A. Gross, a sixteen-year-old student Of
the Central high school OF this city,
has invented an angle sector that has
been declared by expert mathemati-
clans to be the first device of its
kind that would perform the difficult
feat Of dividing an angle not a right
angle. Heretofore the mathematical
experts have declared that 1t was i'm
possible to trisect or bisect such an
angle. but Cross invention has proved
that Euclid was wrong.
Among the mathematician who
have used the boys sector and found
that 1t was true, are Professor Sam
uei X. Brecht, of the scientific de-
partment of the high school OF this
city; Professor NJ. J. Babb, of the
University of Pennsylvania; Professor
J. s. Rorer, of the William Penn high
school for girls, and Professor David
f. Smith, author Of mathematical text
books, and professor of higher mathe-
MATES at Columbia university.
Gross' device is an apparatus of
cardboard which is shaped like an
eight pointed star. This is divided
into four large compartments along
two main axis. Each of the compart-
ments is divided into eight subdivis-
ions. and the points all join together
so that a complete series of rectangies
are formed, and which may be moved
about by the means of flexible hinges.
The device Is placed over the angle,
work its hinges so that 1t forms the
required section, and the angle is di-
vided- 1t will make three groups Of
twin triangles which are equal, and
every group of two angles is. one
third of the entire angle.
1t is of use to architects who must
decide where the support for his
column or pillar in building opera
ton must be. 1t is Of use to the sur
veyor to obtain the tri-section of a
parcel of land and suppiants the pro-
tractor an instrument which has been
used for years and has only approxi-
mately given the division of such an
| giles, as nothing ever was heard of
that performed this work before.

AUTO MAKES PLUNGE
OVER EMBANKMENT

WASHINGTON, June OCCUPY
ing an automobile which ran over an
embankment following a contact with
depression In the roadway. Rear
Admiral Bradley A. Fiske, u. s. N,
and Mrs Fiske narrowly escaped seri-
Gus injury near Cabin John bridge
Friday afternoon.
Admiral Fiske and Mrs .Fiske left
Stoneleigh Court, where they have an
apartment. early Friday afternoon in
their electric automobile. and rode out
the Conduit road. visiting Cabin John
bridge. They were returning to the
city in the vehicle when about q hum
dred yards east of Cabin John bridge
a small dog ran out into the roadway.
Dog Causes Accident
in an effort to avoid the dog Ad-
miral Fiske guided his machine to-
ward the side of the road. AS he
did so the wheels ran into a rut. The
admiral was unable to steer the ma
chine back to the better roadway and
the vehicle went over the embank-
ment.
The admiral held on to the steer
ing wheel, and Mrs. Fiske grasped the
inside Of .he car. both expecting the
machine would be overturned. In the
descent the vehicle turned. suddenly
and one of the front wheels was de-
mOIlSneU. OTlunateiF inc emDdfk-
ment was only about ten feet above
the next level space, and neither Of
the occupants was injured. Mrs
Fiske. however, suffered slightly from
shock. The admiral assisted her from
the machine and up to the roadway.
Aided by Commander Leigh.
Within short time thereafter
Commander Richard II. Leigh. u. 9.
N. who vas returning to his apart
ment at the westmoreland. appeared
in his automobile. Mrs. Fiske was
taken to Stoneleigh Court in Com
mander Leigh's machine, the admiral
remaining at the scene of the aeci-
dent. After some delay another auto
was sent out from the city. ana af-
ter the broken wheel had been re-
paired the disabled vehicle was lowed
to the city.
Admiral Fiske declared last night
that neither he nor Mrs. Fiske had
been injured, although he admitted
they had a narrow escape.

"Neuer Again" For
Mrs. Grace, UShe
Gets Her DiUorce

PHILADELPHIA, June 1.-The
trial of the suit for divorce of Mrs.
w. Opie Grace. against her husband,
in Atlanta, liz listed for hearing in
this city tomorrow. As 1t is the
first case on the list Of the June term,
and as Mrs. Grace is again in the
city ready for the hearing, there is
good reason for anticipating that il
will be disposed of.
Mrs Grace is again at her mother s
home. She Is confident that she will
be successful in the effort to free her
self from the man whom she was ac-
cused of trying to kill. and asserts that
for the first time the public will be
able to hear the actual sufferings to
which she was subjected by her nus
band.
II have had enough of men like
him. Once i am free again, I tell
you tt win be a long time before any
man can court me-"
Grace has been served by publica-
ton to appear here to defend the
suit.

CONSECRATE TREES
AND INSTALL CLASS

PHILADELPHIA, June six
hundred of the nations most promi-
nent Hebrews today journeyed to the
National Farm school, where under
natures canopy of blue. the school
consecrated memorial trees, installed
the freshman class and inspected the
farm and buildings.
Julius Kahn, member of congress-
from San Francisco, who, with his
wife and sons, is on his way to Wash
.ington, was the presiding officer.
Before speaking began Mr.. Kahn
found time to say d word or two about
San Francisco and the Japanese ques-
ton. He said the question, as far
as the West was concerned, WAS a
closed issue, and that while some CAL
ifornians might feel that the Webb
bill, az signed by Governor johnson.
was not drastic enough, It was the
general opinion of tho people Of the
State at large that the bill In its
present shape was more than fair to
the Jape. Mr.. Kahn does not believe
that we will have any trouble 1t all
over the Webb bill. but In quite firm
in his belief that California alone ID
able to draft = bill that covers the
Japanese question.

CANADA SOLVED

COMPLAINTS ATTRACTS THE
STATE DEPARTMENT..
EXCLUSION IS USED
REPRESENTATIVES, OF JAPAN
MADE NO OBJECTIONS TO THE
LEGIsLATION 49, REJOIN-
nER THIS WEEK.
EXCLUSION IS USED

WASHINGTON, June THE sue
cessful treatment by the Canadian
parliament OF complaints from Brit
ish Colu mhta of the competition OF
Japenese has attracted the attention
OF the state department and the
Japanese embassy, in connection with
ths negotiations now going on In re-
gard to the anti-alen legislation In
California.
A. the underlying principle OF the
Canadian legislation Is separation OF
the two races In the interest Of per-
fnanent peace, which is aimed to be
attained through absolute exclusion
of all but the travelling and student
classes, it has been suggested that
similar remedy might be found to
At the present Issue in the Untted
StateS.
Japan Did Not Object.
1t is pointed out that the represen-
tatives OF the Japanese government
themselves in Canada made no oh
lection TO the Canadian legislation,
for the belief that a like result
might be had here.
Probably in such case the exclusion
would have to be mutual, applying as
we'll to Americans seeking to enter
Japan as to japanese trying to gain
entrance to the Pacific coast.
There is one very practical din
Guilty that has already been brought
to the attention Of the negotiators,
which IL that not even by treaty can
the United States government prohibit
an American citizen from going
abroad into any country he pleases,
50 that the desired object OF ex-
clnsion could be realized only by
means Of positive legislation by the
congress In this country and by the
diet In Japan.
yapAn'a Rejoinder Ready.
The Japanese Teioiner to Secretary
Bryan's reply ia the original Japanese
land legislation will be submitted to
the state department early this
week according to present plans.
There has been good deal Of ex>
change by cable between the Japanese
embassy here and the foreign Office in
Toxic. necessitated by the demands OF
the latter for exact information as to
the national and State laws regarding
not only alien land ownership, but ma
turalization. although up to tho pre-
sent moment the Japanese govern
ment has not seen At to suggest an
amendment to the American natural
ization laws in the interest OF japanese
In this country.
Pressure In Japan.
Notwithstanding the pressure in GER
tain quarters at home. 1t Is regarded
az extremely doubtful whether the
japanese embassy will turn to an
amendment Of the naturalization laws
as = solution Of the present issue be-
tween the tive countries.
Meanwhile indications point TO q ju-
deal test of the California ahen land
law ~ soon aa possible after August
10. when 1t will go into operation.
though 1t by no means follows that
In the event of decision adverse to
their claims the Japanese government
will be willing to abandon its efforts
to secure relief from what 1t declares
nese.
