Washington. May 5.-The Japanese rnhassv was supplied by the state cepartnrent today with copy or tne alien land owning bill passed by the California legislature and the ambas- Essior will employ the time between now and Secretary Bryan's return to Washington in preparing formal pro test against the measure
 Nothing Expected from Johnson.
 Apparentiy the embassy has noa hope that any word President Wilson may send after Secretary Bryan returns will influence Governor Johnson to withhold his signature from the ac=, eo the only object of the protest will be 10 acQuaint the American people with the Japanese contention and if possible 10 influence the executive branch of the government to endeavor 10 nullify the action of the California legislature.
 Judicial Test of the Law.
 The embassy will make known the grounds of its protest in a diplomatic note 10 Secretary Bryan It Is well understood that 10 determine the ques- tiOn. no matter what may be the point of objection. will require the action of the United States courts and much procedure tD be followed in arranging for a judicial test of the California law. It will be for Secretary Bryan ro determine whether the United States government itself shall become R rarty to a suit of this character, Gn the capacity of an interEenor.
 Administration Must Defend Law.
 International lawyers hint that the administration is in an exceedingly delicate position for the reason that, while apparently a champion of the Japanese cause through the secretary Of state, before the California legisla- ture. probably from this point on it Japan in the diplomatic struggle about 70 begin
 Possible Complications.
 IT tfle department should adopt the California contention that the land law does not violate the existing treaty with Japan then it might feel bound to refuse to submit the issue to arbf- frRrion by The Hague tribunal.

MORE DISCRIMINATION.
Bill to Compel Jap Fishermen to Pay
 License Fee of $f0c.

Sacramento, Calif., May 5.-Fear that the bill by Senator Rush, requiring Japanese fishermen to pay $100 for an annual license when other aliens are taxed but s10 and natives only S2.5n is in violation of the existing treaty between Japan and the United States, caused the senate to refuse ac- ton on the measure today pending a decision by the committee on federal relations.
 Senator Kefaoe raised the question as to the possible violation by pointing to a section in the treaty which guar antees to Japanese subjects equal tax . ation with American citizens.
 The section reads as follows:
 They (Japanese) shall not be com relied, under any pretext whatever. to pay any charges or taxes other os higher than those that are or may be paid by native citizens or sub 5ects."
 A similar bill by Assemb1yman n Johnston, already has passed the as sembly. Senate leaders are uncertain what action to take.

HITS HIGH RENTS
Mrs. H. w. Rogers Declares They Are
 Discourasins to Working People.

New Haven, May 5.-High rents and water charges were scored by Mrs. Henry Wade Rogers, wife of Dean Rogers of the Yale Law school, in dis cussing at Center Church House last night the housing situation in this city. Mrs. Rogers said that the rents charged for good tenemeats was one of the discouraging things met with in an effort to provide better homem for working people. She expressed the opinion that bath roosna were seldom found in the tenement house d1strdcta because the rates charged for water are so high that they could not be put in moderately priced tenernants.
 Rents have been found to be higher In New Haven than in other c&t1eas Mrs, Rogers said. and consequently working people are driven to Live in less deHkrable places.

Philadelphia. May 5.-More than 500 men and women armed with stones and clubs, and brandfshing boxes fli- cd with red pepper, gave battle to the police this afternoon near Reed street wharf and were not dispersed until two riot calls had been sent in to city hall.
