JAPANESE PROTEST
At CALIFORNIA
Formal Representations to the
U. S. Government.
AMBASSADOR is INSTRUCTED
Declared the Proposed California Land
Legislation Will Be Disastrous
For Trade Between the
Two Countries.

Tokio-Viscount Chinda, japanese
Ambassador to the United States, was
instructed by the japanese Foreign
Office to make formal representations
at Washington in regard to the anti
japanese legislation of the State of
California.
Irritation over the California land
legislation is increasing throughout
the country. All the political parties
have sent Populations to the Premier
and to the Foreign Minister asking
them TO adopt measures to preserve
the Japanese treaty and interests in
America.
The Constitutional party has pro-
posed an anti-California boycott and
the Chamber of Commerce here has
telegraphed to similar bodies in San
Francisco, Los Angeles and elsewhere,
asserting that the result Of the legis-
lation will be disastrous to trade be-
tween the United States and Japan.
The Japanese Premier told the
deputation of the conservative party
which called upon him that he trusted
implicitly the high sense of justice
and fairness of America, while Baron
Nobuaki Maxine, the Foreign Minis
ter, spoke in the same strain.
The newspapers here contend that
the proposed California legislation is
as much breach OF treaty
as the Panama Canal bill, while the
foreign press retorts that it is an
object lesson for Japan in reciprocity,
since foreigners are not allowed to
own land in Japan in spite of the law
passed in 1910, which has never been
prOmul gated

1861, according to municipal report
just made public. There was only

Prohibitiye rentals are said to have

JOHN HAYS HAMMOND is
AN EXPENSIVE WITNESS

NEW YORK, May 22-John Hays
Hammond, the mining engineer, is
a notable victim at present of the
laws delays. During the last three
weeks Mr.. Hammond has made his
appearance on an average Of four
days week in the United States
court where he has been summoned
as witness in a suit for $780,
900 damages involving the title
to certain oil lands in the district
Of Ozuluma, Vera Cruz, Mexico.
Frequent postponements have made
it impossible for Mr. Hammond to
testify so far, and apparently this is
costing him money as he is allowed
only $3.50 as witness fees. His daily
fees as an expert mining engineer
are reported to be $1,000 or more.

had done good. That is, some
ponds in several parts of the state

takes some courage to go at this

theory will be tried out any way
and we will know sometime
