BRYAN GETTING
REPLY READY TO
JAPAN'S NOTE

Washington, d. c., June 7.-Secre-
today and prepared to consider Jap
ans latest note on the Californian
alien land question. In the verbal eX-
changes between the secretary and
ambassador and President Wilson, the
state department has been preparing
for the newest points made by the
Toxic foreign office. But because of
to the fourteenth amendment and fine
distinctions sought to be drawn be-
tween the relative functions of the
national and state governments, the
alyZed before any serious effort can
be made to draft a reply.
Secretary Bryan and President
Wilson will almost Immediately de-
vote themselves to preparation of a
legal argument to cover the Japan
ese rejoinder.
Except for the possible adverse ef-
feet upon the general relations be-
tween the United States and Japan
which might follow refusal by the
senate to sanction renewal of the spe-
cial arbitration treaty which expires
in August, yesterdays proceedings in
the executive session OF the senate
are not likely directly to affect the
present negotiations.

fend the actions of the department i'll

ed only through cooperation, not
through quarrelling."
Commissioner Tallman then asked
series of questions of the governors
present with view of ascertaining
the exact changes which may be
wanted. Special attention was given
to the position of the United States
forest service, it being alleged by
some of the governors that the admin.
istration of the service had discour-
aged mining and prospecting.
AT the close of the discussion Com
missioner Tallman said that as far as
he was concerned, il the prospector
confines his work to actual prospect

to encourage.

WORKERS DIVIDED
into THREE CLASSES

/ Chicago, June when the Illinois
senatorial vice and minimum wage
commission resumed its quest of thu
! light on the relation of low wages t.
vice today, Harry Judson, president
of the University of Chicago, was
called as witness.
Most college graduates enter bust
ness, the witness said, and were soon
thereafter financially able to marry.
and what becomes of the girl
graduates" asked Chairman O'Hara.
Il am happy to say that most Of
them marry replied the educator.
He said that school and college
courses should be shortened in order
to start young men and women on the
serious business of life earlier. He
declared that high school studies
should be fewer in number and that
these should be studied more thor
oughly.
O'Hara wanted to know whether the
law should provide minimum wage
for minimum efficiency in response to
which the witness arranged workers
into three classes, efficient semi-ef
ficient and inefficient.
Efficient meh will earn more than
any law can provide said Dr. Jud-
SON
"They will take care of themselves.
For the semi-efiicient we might pro-
vide industrial training.
The witness had no remedy for the
inefficient.
Julius Rosenwald, head of a big
mail order house, caused a stir when
he told the commission that he had
lost faith in its motives. Other wit
nesses were J. ]. Mitchell, president
CT the Illinois Trust and Savings bank:
George NJ. Reynolds, president Of the
Continental and Commercial National
bank; David r. Forgan, president OF
the National City bank; James 3.
Forgan, president of the First Ma.

J. Lehman, James Simpson and ,Jo-
seph Basch, merchants; Ella Flaes
ioung, superintendent of Chicago
schools, and Theodore w. Robinson,
vice president of the Illinois Steel
company.
The inquiry was directed to
show that where the head of family
earns small wage, his daughter or
daughters are forced TO seek employ
nent where they are more open to
vii advances.
The bankers, for the most part, !
said they do not employ married men
arning less than $1,000 year. James
B. Forgan stated that ordinary bank
Jerks receive s91 a month in his !

SIST THAT PRESIDENT IS USING
MORE INFLUENCE FOR TARIFF
THAN ANYONE ELSE.
WILSON IS LOBBYING
FOR the PEOPLE

Washington D. c., June 7.-Sena
tors on the lobby investigating com
mittee were of the opinion today that
Senator Townsends charge that Pres
dent Wilson himself virtually had
been lobbying for the tariff bill
would not be taken by the committee
as an issue unless specific charges
were made Senator Townsend, testi
flying last night, while declaring that
White House influence" had been ex'
erted on certain senators, declined to
give any names. Unless these are
presented, the committee is not like
ly to follow up that phase.
White House officials professed to
be undisturbed by Senator Town
sens charges and it was said the
president would not take the stand
to make a personal answer unless
some specific charge was made against
him. Officials declared Mr.. Wilson
was confident that the people of the
country would take the position that
he was representing them in Wash
ington and had the right to use all his
influence to further legislation prom
ised in the Democratic platform.
"President Wilson will be welcOm
ed before the committee if he desires
to appear said Acting Chairman
Reed today, "but see no reason why
he should deny charges that never
have been made"
mo-
ton that it remained for Republicans
to pursue inquiries on whether Presl-
dent Wilson had used undue inttu-
ence" with any Democratic senator's,
and insisted that the statements ~
Senators Warren, Weeks and Town
send had been of a general charac-
ter.
Senators Nelson and Cummins, the
Republican members of the commit
tee, had no plans for following up
that line of inquiry.
81 intend however, to insist before
the hearings are over" said Senator
Cummins, "that President Wilson fur
nish the committee with the facts or
information upon which he based his
statements of 'insiduous lobbying IN

The list of witnesses for next week
