BRYAN RETURNS
TO ANSWER JAPAN
Tokio's Contention Regarding
Fourteenth Amendment Will
Be Examined Legally.

WASHINGTON, June 7.-Secretary
Bryan returned from Pittsburgh
early today and prepared to take up
with Counselor Moore Japan's latest
note on the California alien land
question submitted to him personally
by yiscount Chinda last Wednesday.
So far there has only been the most
cursory examination of the note. In the
verbal exchanges between the secretary
and Ambassador Chinda and between
the ambassador and President Will
son the State department has been
to some extent prepared for the
newest points made by the Toxic for
eign Office But because of their nov
city, such as that relating TO the
fourteenth amendment and fine dis
tinctions sought to be drawn be-
tween the relative functions of the
national and State governments, the
rejoinder must be most carefully
analysed before any serious effort
can be made to draft a reply.
The administration, however, has
no disposition to lay itself open TO
the charge of representation, so Sec
rotary Bryan and President Wilsan
will almost Immediately devote them
selves to preparation of legal argu-
ment to cover the Japanese rejoinder
as far as that may be done.
Except for the possible adverse ef-
feet upon the general relations be-
tween the United States and Japan,
which might follow a refusal by the
Senate to sanction renewal of the
special arbitration treaty which ex-
pires in August. yesterdays proceed
ings in the executive session of the
Senate are not likely to directly af-
feet the present negotiations.

DEL BAGNO JURY
A WHOLE DAY OUT
Locked Up Again After Twen-
ty-three Hours DeIiberation.
Expensive Trial.

At 2 o'clock this afternoon, after
twenty-three hours of elaboration,
the jury in Quarter Sessions Court
before Judge Martin, which heard
the evidence against Antonio Del
Bagno, charged with embezzling
$500 from the firm of H. Koch &
Co.. Bank and Wickliffe streets. was
still hopelessly divided and unable
to agree.
1t les understood that the jury is
divided six to six on the question of
the guilt of Del Bagno, and early to-
day the members said there was no
chance of agreement. Judge Martin
instructed the clerk of the court to
keep the jury locked up until 5
o'clock unless they should agree.
The taking of testimony in the
case was commenced last Monday
morning and continued until yes
terday, when the summing up
was started, the case finally reach
ing the jury at 8 o'clock. The trial
was the longest of recent years in a
county criminal court, except those
wherein the charge of murder has
been involved
The Koch firm charged that Del
Bagno retained money he had col
lected from the customers for some
length of time prior to July, 1872,
when he left the employ of the firm.
In his defense Del Bagno, through
Charles Hood, his counsel, set up
that the amounts charged against
him on the books Of the Koch COM
xr,l, t]A 70 lie %
$4,000 alleged embezzlement, was
composed of items not properly
chargeable against him. He claimed
that under his contract with the firm
he was to receive 40 per cent of the
profits made on his sales but was
not to stand any losses. He alleged
that the amount claimed by the firm
as embezzled by him was losses that
had wrongfully charged against him.
After the case had gone to the jury
Judge Martin issued an order that
Giuseppe Patrucci. who lives on
Ridge street, and is a friend of Del
Bagno's, be detained In court pending
an investigation of a story that was
afioat that he had threatened to take
the life of Miss Kate Grubstein, one
of the bookkeepers employed by the
Koch firm, and who had been lead
ing witness for the State.
The case was a very costly one 70
the county, the entire expense total
Ing almost $1,000 This amount is
made up as follows: Twelve jurors,
six days at 50 a day, s144; salary OF
Judge Martin, s145; salary of First
Assistant Prosecutor Wilbur A. Mott,
| SIP; salary of court clerks, attend
ants, crier and interpreter, $27S pros
ecutor's detective. s32; stenographer' S
expenses, 500, and witnesses and
/ mileage, s225.
| The State had AZ witnesses in the
case, of which 90 were witnesses from
outside the county, who received mile
age in addition to 81 a day fee for
attendance at the trial. These wit
nesses were from towns in all sec
tions of central and northern New
Jersey.
The alleged threat was made in the
Courthouse on Thursday, it is said
and was called to the attention of
Judge Martin yesterday. Miss Grub
stein refused to make a formal COM
plant against Patrucci and he
was released in the custody of
Charles Hood, counsel for Del Bagno.
to appear Monday morning, when the
alleged threat will be further investi-
gated.

HELD
IN EXTORT|ON CASE
SummeriII and Best ParoIed,
While Associates Are Freed.
Dictagraph Ruled Out.

PHILADELPHIA. June Two Of
the four Gloucester county citizens
against whom David ". Moore. jr..
of Woodbury., n J., brought extor-
ton charges were freed after the
hearing before Magistrate German in
the Central Police Court yesterday,
while Joseph J. Summerill. public
prosecutor. and Joseph B. Best, of
the Board of F'reeholders. were
paroled for a week in custody Of
counsel so that the magistrate may
take time to go into the questions Of
law involved.
Harry Stille, of Clayton, \. j., was
discharged, the magistrate declaring
there was no case against him, while
George w. Dickensheets, president of
the First National Bank, Of Wood
bury. was plainly not dominating
figure in the proceedings and was
also freed. He was president Of the
bank and was anxious to protect the
interests of the bondholders, on
whose committee he was, ii was
brought out. He might have taken
it for granted, not being a lawyer,
and so long as counsel were present,
that things were done according TO
law. There was no evidence that he
was involved in the extortion charges.
AS to Mr.. Summerill and Mr.. Best,
there was evidence, the magistrate
found. of conversations and inter
views in which the question of short
age was involved. Best seeming to be
the moving spirit.
The four defendants were arrested
after a conference in the Bellevue
Stratford Hotel last Saturday by
Burns detectives.
The central figure was David W.
Moore, jr.. who occupied the stand
for four hours on direct and cross
examination. 1t seemed at times he
would collapse under the fire of the
attorneys.
T. Lee Hallock, the other witness
for the prosecution, was hard pressed
in the attempt to secure an admis-
sion that political animus had direct
ed his course. This he denied.
The prosecution was struck a severe
blow when. the dictagraph evidence
obtained May 81 of the meeting at
the Bellevue Stratford was not al
lowed. 1t developed that the war
rant for the arrest of the four de-
PENDANTS had been sworn out in the
morning previous to this meeting. so
any crime charged in. this warrant
must have taken place before that.
This left the meeting of Nav "a as
the only one which could be used to
supply evidence of an alleged crime.
