Omaha, Neb., May 14.-Officials of the
Nebraska Telephone company in this
city were notified early this evening that
tornado at Seward had resulted in u
deaths and 90 persons being injured, sew

GOVERNMENT MUST NOW TAKE
DEFINITE ACTION REGARD
ING PROTEST OF JAPANESE
GOVERNMENT

Washington. Nay 14-With Governor
Johnson's announcement today that he
would sign the California alien land bill
in spite of the federal administration ap-
peal for Z veto OH account CT the Jap
anese protest. It now becomes necessary
for the state department to determine
whether It viii proceed with the nego-
tiations with the Japanese government on
the basis of defending and sustaining the
right of the Calfornians to deprive the
japanese of the right to hold real prop
erty, or whether it shall concede that the
act violates the spirit if not the letter
of the treaty with Japan and attempt
to find means of nullifying it.
In his messages to Governor johnson,
President Wilson already expressed the
opinion that the legislation is discrim-
iratory so the Japanese contention that
the act constitutes discrimination in vio-
lation of International law and of the
spirit of the treaty, is powerfully sup
ported and the position of the state de-
partment made difficult should it be found
necessary to champion the cause of the
Californians. The first thing to be done
will be to formally inform the Japanese
embassy of Governor Johnson's actioi
In the ordinary course of negotiations,
the Japanese government would reply
that as 1t is prevented by the constitu-
tion of the United States from negotia-
tions directly with one of the American
commonwealths, it must hold the nation
al government responsible for anything
that may occur in California to the detri-
ment of Japanese residents. Probably
with these exchanges as a preliminary
the two governments will begin negotia-
tions in earnest to find some way per-
manently to ADJUST the status of the citt-
zens of each country resident in the other
on a satisfactory basis.
1t is hoped here that this can be
done automatically by negotiation of a
new treaty. If this hope should not be
realized. then recourse might be had
under the terms of the special arbi-
tration treaty of 1908, to The Hague
tribunal. though how the United States
that court adverse to the California law
is at present grave problem.
Secretary Bryan, who was an honor
guest at a dinner at the Spanish lega-
tion tonight, left for New York on a
midnight train to attend the BANQUET
there tomorrow night of the Pan
American society. Consequently it is
not expected anything will be done in
pursuance of the negotiations until he
returns to Washington Friday.
