Banana Crop Is Short.

Many of these men carry finely

The tiny boys in their dress are ex-
act counterparts of the men. Some few
men we meet wear very long coats
and high hats. That is a mourning
costume, we are told, which custom
requires to be worn on Sunday and
feast days as a mark of respect for
the dead.
Few carry umbrellas. They are not

women and girls have short Sleeves

Provisional President Huerta re-

son (that diplomat having referred to
official matters) that the government
Of Mexico was disposed to arrange
the affairs pending between 1t and the
government of the United States
It was pointed out, however, that
for the time being the ambassador
should understand the necessity which
the government Of Mexico has for alb
staining from treating any official
matter, with the exception Of urgent
affairs OF ordinary procedure, for
the simple reason that during the
time the government of the United
States did not recognize the govern
ment Of Mexico, all agreements would
be Ineffective, In view Of the fact
that the government OF Mexico has no
personality before the government

GETTING INTO SHAPE
FOR NEXT CAMPAIGN
Democratic Congressional
Committee Meets and Ef-
fects a Reorganization.

WASHINGTON, May o.-The Demo
cratic congressional committee met to-
night to reorganize for the next na-
tional campaign. The keynote Of the
meeting was sounded IN statement
read by Representative Lloyd Of Mis-
souri,, the retiring chairman Of the
committee, explaining President VIII
sons position regarding the work of
the committee.
This statement Of administrative
views, to which President Wilson gave
his approval today, made it clear that
the president had no preference of can
didates for Craftsmanship Of the com
mittee, and set forth that the main
idea was to accomplish effective work
by united action in the coming cam
paign and that senators should be
among the members Of the congress
sional committee, inasmuch as various
states have provided for popular vote
for United States senator's.
Lloyd Not Candidate.
Mr.. Lloyd presided. He had already
announced that he was not candidate
for re- e-election.
In his statement Representative
Lloyd said:
About April 90 I gave notice
that the new Democratic congress
sional committee would meet for
organization on the morning of
April 30. About 1870 in the after
noon of April 20 the president
called me to the telephone and
asked that the meeting be post
poned In order that there might be
a conference in regard to the work
Of the two committees-the ma
tional and congressional-some-
what along the lines Of that which
was agreed upon in the last cam
paign.

MEASURE. NOT SIGNED,
1T is POINTED OUT
Suggestion Is Made That a
Series of Conferences Be
Held, if the Proposed Act
Becomes a Law.
BY JOHN TEMPLE GRAVES.

WASHINGTON, May 9.-The Inter
national News Service may present a,
reliable these three propositions as sub
stantially the first reply of the United
States government to the protest OF
Japan:
First-That by reason Of the
political status Of the California
alien land law as yet unsigned by
the governor of California, the
equity of protest in international
law has not yet arisen so as to jus
tify the present protest Of Japan.
Second--That the federal gov
eminent has not violated the treaty
Of 1911 by the United States and
Japan.
Third-The United States sug-
gests to the imperial government
at Toxic that there be series Of
conferences on the question which
will arise If the California alien
land law is put into operation in
the state Of California
The official statement has not been
given out, but the readers Of the In
ternational News Service may rely
upon 1t that this is the rough draft OF
the first official cabinet answer to the
Japanese government.
Whatever statement to the contrary
may be made, it Is certain that these
are already in the hands
Of Viscount Chinda and have been sent
in cipher to the Japanese government.
What Reply Means.
This reply Of the government reduced
to an analysis means this:
FIrst-The propositions as
whole constitute plea for delay,
Sec ond-The first proposition Is
perfectly sound for the reason that
Governor johnson not yet having
signed the Webb bill, the CaIifor-
MIA law is not yet what the diplo-
mats call an accomplished fact, and
foreign government cannot base
an equitable claim on theoretic
proposition
Third-The second proposition
merely states an obvious fact
which amounts to a platitude, but
which is allowable in diplomacy.
Fourth-The third proposition
reveals the last resort plan of the
United States to avoid making the
question acute on both sides-as L.
Is admittedly acute In the Japa-
nese feeling. It suggests means
to delay or avoid serious de-
cision, 1t states that if Governor
johnson signs the bill aud 1t is put
into operation, that Embassador
