CABINET TO TAKE 1T UP
No Statement Made at White House
Today - Johnson Biames United
States For Present Conditions.

Washington, May 15.-The Japa-
ncse situation, further complicated
by the expected signing of the anti
alien land-owning bill by Governor
Johnson, of California, in line with
his message Of intention sent to Sec
retary of State Bryan will consider
at the regular meeting of the Cabi-
net tomorrow.
No statement was made at the
White House today as to what course
now will be taken and no announce
ment of plans is expected until the
return Friday of Secretary Bryan,
who is in New York to attend the
Pan-American Society dinner.
Governor Johnson, defends the
anti-alien bill passed by the Califor-
MIA Legislature in a lengthy message
TO Secretary Bryan, in which he an
nounces his intention Of signing the
bill. He denies treaty obligations
are violated in the bill, that discrim-
ination has been shown, or that any
nation has been given the right 20
be justified in taking offense.
Governor Johnson gives emphasis
&C his assertion that the bill cannot
be considered as in violation Of
treaty rights.
The bill provides in its first sec
tionS," says the telegram 70 the
State Department. that all aliens
eligible to citizenship under the laws
Of the United States may acquire
real property in the same manner as
citizens Of the United States, and
the second section provides ahat ali
aliens other than those mentioned in
the first section, may acquire real
property and to the extent and for
the purpose prescribed by any treaty
now existing between the Govern
ment of the United States and the
nation or nations or country Of which
such aliens are citizens or subjects,
and may, in addition, lease for a
period of three years !ands Tor ag-
ricu!tural purposes"
"Thus," the message continues,
Eve have made existing treaties a
part of our law, and thus have we
preserved every right that any for
eign nation by international cotnract
has insisted upon preserving with
our National Government"
The governor insists that if indi-
vidious discrimination were ever
made in this regard, the United
States made it by declaring VINO
were and who were not eligible to
citizenship. Governor Johnson also
calls attention 10 the immigration
laws, now pending in Congress,
which passed both Houses, Of the
last Congress, where, the governor
says, Certain classes who shall be
excluded from our country are de-
scribed as persons who cannot be-
come eligible under existing laws to
become citizens of the United States.
TIE Government itself is shown to
be using the language that in the
California law is held discrimina-
tory.
Governor Johnson declares ne feels
it his plain duty to sign the bill.

BIG ARSON PLOT is FOUND
sands of Tubes of Phos-
phorus.

London, July Scotland Yard
detectives discovered a gigantic arson
plot in which the militant suffragettes
planned to simultaneously set a large
number of fires throughout various
districts of London. Vast quantities
of combustibles have been stored at
different points throughout the city,
and the plot was so well arranged that
tremendous damage would have been
the inevitable result.
The militants planned to set forth
from different points at a given hour
on a date, which has not yet been
learned definitely. The plan was to
start numerous fires in the main BUSH
ness section of London, in the West
End district, in several of the govern
ment buildings and in what is known
as the fire zone," a very congested
area
The police have discovered thou
sands of tubes of phosphorus, quanti-
ties of fire-Iighters and large stores
of chemicals, all of which were to
be used in the arson campaign.

LAWYERS BARRED
BY LOBBY PROBERS
Plan to Obtain Special Counsel
Defeated in House.
TO RENEW FIGHT WEDNESDAY
Resolution Reported by Rules Body Is
Broad Enough to Permit InVesti-
cation of MulhaII Charges
and All Others.

Washington, July Tn the midst
of a series of oral clashes over the
character of the proposed investiga-
ton of the Mulhall charges, the house
of representatives adjourned without
taking definite action. The consider
alton of the resolution directing the
inquiry is delayed thereby until next
Wednesday.
AS a result of the obstacles encoun-
tered in the house the inquiry into
the operations of the alleged manu-
facturers' lobby by the senate com
mittee will be well under way before
the lower chamber is ready to begin
business. The first witnesses will be
heard by the senate committee Tues
day.
The house resolution, reported by
the rules committee, was broad
enough to permit the investigation of
every angle of the alleged scandal dis
closed by Colonel Mulhall, and also
the uncovering of any other lobby op-
Grating in Washington. Several
amendments were adopted to make
doubly sure this unrestricted jury die.
ton.
One Big Provision Killed.
But just as the debate was drawing
to a close the house. by vote of sc
to 80, struck from the resolution the
provision authorizing the committee
to employ legal counsel. This move
originated with Representative Levy
of New York, who stated at the out
set that he opposed this and all other
Investigations.
He was supported by number OF
Representatives who professed to favor
a searching inquiry but contended that
seven lawyer members of the house
could be placed on the committee who
would handle the investigation more
efficiently and less extensively than
any hired counsel.
Chairman Henry of the rules com
mittee, the Progressives and the pro
gressive Democrats and Republicans
generally denounced the Levy amend.
ment as an attempt to cripple the in.
vestigation from the start.
Chairman Henry and his support.
ers hope that next Wednesday they
will have enough strength to restore
the provision for counsel to the reso-
luton.

AT JOHANNESBURG.
Most Sanguinary Conflict Precedes
Reaching of Agreement at

which involved practically all the gold

ing it's brief existence anarchy reigned

were compelled to declare martial law,
and during several hours the troops
raked the streets with rife fire.
The negotiations which brought
about the settlement were opened in
the afternoon and brought to a sue
cessful conclusion after several hours
discussion, the strike leaders agreeing
to the terms proposed. Gen. Louis
Botha, ex-premier of the Union OF
South Africa; Sir George A. Farrar,
chairman Of the East Rand proprietary
mines, and General Smith took part in
the negotiations.
| Before a settlement was reached
there occurred the fiercest and most
sanguinary conflicts between the po-
lice and the troops and the mobs that
had yet taken place. Early in the af-
ternoon crowds gathered in front of
the Rand club began to stone it. They
disregarded orders to dispense and the
troops fired with deadly effect. Near
the Union club another mob was scat
tered by the dragons, who charged
| fiercely.
The terms of the settlement are:
The strike is to be Immediately de-
| clared off, the strikers to return to
their homes; all further disturbances
shall cease and no more property is to
| be destroyed.
Representatives of the workers are
at liberty to lay any other grievances
before the government, which will in
| quire into them.

When he went downstairs the long

Neal noticed that each guest put his
