Philadelphia, May S.-Downward re-
vision of the tariff was condemned by sew
eral speakers at the closing session today
of the annual convention of the National
Association of Hosiery and Underwear
Manufacturers.
f. H. Wellharmer of Hagerstown, Md,

the manufacturers must do something to

''TAXICAB GRAFT"
TO BE EXPOSED
Claim Annual Passes Are Issued to
New York Aldermen

New York, May S.-Report of taxi
cab graft" received at the district attor-
ney's office, will be called to the at
tention of the present grand jury. Books
taxicab companies were produced at the
district attorneys office today to show
what annual passes had been issued to
aldermen and other city officials. The
grand jury will be asked to determine
whether these passes had anything to do
with the recent failure to get an ordi-
nance for taxicab reform through the
board of aldermen.
One of the aims of the proposed ordi-
nance is to abolish the private taxicab
stands maintained by hotels and restau-
rants in the public streets. The cab
companies are said to pay 100000 for
these stand privileges annually.

Washington, May s. - The japanese

tomorrow of the nature of its objections
to the anti-alien land bill awaiting Gov
ernor Johnson's signature in California,
and by noon it is expected that the po-

will have been defined to the ambassa-
dor
This understanding was reached In
conferences which Secretary Bryan had
late today with President Wilson at the
White House and with Ambassador
chinda at the state department.
Secretary Bryan had to hurry away
to Baltimore to attend dinner there,
and he talked with Ambassador Chinda
only a few minutes, arranging to meet
him at $50 o'clock tomorrow, Immediate
ly after which, by special arrangement,
the President and his cabinet will meet.

Busy Day for Bryan


This was busy day for Secretary
but he gave most of his time to the
California situation, discussing It at
length with John Basset Moore, coun-
selof of the department.
II Is believed here the referendum
movement being urged by Theodore Bell.
a prominent democrat in San Francisco,
may have the effect of postponing the
for the United States and Japan to ar
rive at an understanding, or perhaps
negotiate new treaty covering disputed
points,
While Secretary Bryan declined to dis
cuss the referendum, and White House
officials were equally reticent, 1t is
known that friends of the administration
have told the President there would be
no difficulty in getting sufficient sign
ers in California to compel a referen-
DUN at the. polls on the anti-alien bill.
Will Advise Johnson
In the meantime it is expected the
President or Secretary Bryan will ad-
wise Governor johnson of the attitude of
the federal government. The governor
has agreed to withhold his signature
form the bill at least, until the return
to Washington of Secretary Bryan. He
has until May 13 to act on the measure
1t is not known whether the views of
the Washington government will be
transmitted tomorrow or until after Sec
retary Bryan returns here on Monday
on his trip to New York. He goes to-
night to address the banquet to the
commission arranging for the celebra-
ton of the treaty of Ghent.
Neither at the state department nor at
the Japanese embassy can any state
ment be had as to the nature of the
ambassadors forthcoming communica-
ton.
The field of speculation, however. is
not broad the recognized probabilities
being a contention by the Japanese gov
erl1ment that the California legislation
would violate the spirit, if not the let
ter, of the treaty between the United
States and Japan. in that it withdraws
from japanese in California privileges
of land holding and leasing necessary to
the transaction of their business, and a
general proposition to negotiate a new
treaty of trade and commerce
Secretary BRYAN may meet these prop
ositions with a suggestion that their con-
sideration be deferred until the Califor-
MIA law has been signed and the United
States courts have passed upon its con-
stitutionality.

provisions as to reserves were made
