sized the fact that it was a Caliior-
nian anu not an American question,
and thanked the Japanese govern
ment for its friendliness and for its
attempts to restrain the excitable
public opinion of Japan.
) 1t is generally believed here that
Washington will find a solution of
the problem, but the more conserva-
tive elements in Japan are now ecno-
ing the public agitation for equal
treatment Of the Japanese. They de-
clare that the racial issue, which it
is contended is involved, and the
steady recurrence Of anti-Japanese
bills in California should receive
basic curative treatment"
A prominent official said today:
The Japanese people feel that
their national honor is involved. The
political question will be solved
peacefully but what is needed to as
sure the permanency Of our tradition
al friendship is a change Of heart in
some Americans toward the Japan

AMERICAS ANSWER RECEIVED
SECRETARY BRYAN PRESENTS
TO AMBASSADOR OFFICIAL
REJoINDER TO PROTEST.
DEPENDS ON THE GOVERNMENT
AGeRlEvED NATION THINKS IT
OF NO AVAIL TO DEAL WITH
THE COAST STATE.

Washington, May 20.-With the an
swer of the United states to its pro-
test in hand, it is now UP to the Jap
anese foreign office to take the next
step in the negotiations over the
California alien land act It is SAID
that the forthcoming rejoinder to
Secretary Bryan will be strongly ar
gumentative and calculated to result
in the conduct of the future negotia-
tions on strictly legal basis.
AS it is understood that the state
department is looking to the Japan
ese government, or some Japanese
citizen, to test the new law by re-
course to the United States courts, it
may be significant of the drawing
of another inference that the Japan
ese are believed to be reluctant to
begin such a movement. in his pro-
test of May to the state depart
ment, the Japanese ambassador is un-
derstood to have made it perfectly
clear that Japan, finding it impos-
sible to deal directly with the state
Of California, was relying entirely on
the federal government to insure
what he believed to be fair treatment
for its subjects.
Probably that contention will be ex-
tended to cover the legal test Of the
California land law, though the ordi-
nary procedure in such cases would
be to allow a Japanese subject. threat
ened with escheatment Of his lands,
to begin action by application for an
injunction.
During ten minute session Of the
house today Representative Sisson of
Mississippi announced his intention
Of making a speech on the legal
points involved in the California-Jap.
anese situation when the house meets
Friday.
To Make Government Supreme.
Representative Barthold of Mis-
souri, announced today that he pur-
posed to introduce next Friday reso-
luton to empower congress to legis-
late exclusively on all questions af-
fecting the rights OF aliens residing
in the United States. The purpose
of the measure would be to prevent
individual states FROM passing laws
which might cause friction with tor
eign countries Lack Of federal con-
troll, he said, affecting the ability of
the government to carry out treaty
in all its integrity, was a palpable
defect.

help him any" Collins said. Breen
continued:
I'VE shall probably meet some folks
and you had better carry this bundle
to keep your end up. at the same
time handing the witness five SIS
bills.
Breen, the witness said, agreed to
give him more money the following

the saloon they met two men. One Of

tents of the bundle brought from

Syrian tailor shop and a .cobbler's
shop, and also deposited one in ST.
Mary's cemetery.
Another payment Of $25 was made

Japan Tries to Pacify Citizens.
Toxic, May 20. The news that
the California alien land ownership
bill had been signed by Governor
Johnson was received here with re-
gret, although it had been discounted
in official and non-official circles. It
was hoped up to the last moment,
however, that Washington's inter-
vention would prove successful. The
newspapers have published extra edi-
tons with the announcement that the
bill had been signed.
The efforts Of the Japanese gov
ernment are concentrated at present
on pacifying public opinion, but the
task is regarded in many quarters as
a more difficult one than at the time
Of the California school controversy.
Since the death Of the old Japan
ese emperor, the authority of the
government has steadily diminished
in resisting the growing influence of
public opinion and the spirit Of de-
mocracy is augmenting throughout
the empire
