AWAIT JoHNsON's ACTION.
Japan Delays Protest Till Governor
Acts.

Washington, May 15.-Further
representations from the Japanese
government in support of it's protest
against the California anti-alien law
were forecasted today when Ambas-
sador Chinda, after being notified of
Governor Johnson's intention to sign
the bill, called twice at the state de-
partment to inquire when the gov
ernor will probably act.
After the ambassadors first visit
Acting Secretary Moore and Presi
dent Wilson were in consultation, but
it was understood that Moore was
able to throw little light on Governor
Johnson's intentions when he saw
Chinda later.
Ambassador Chinda's call gives
rise to the impression in official cir
cles that Japan is inclined to della!
publishing her protest and that an
other formal communication will
probably be forthcoming as soon al
Governor Johnson signs the bill.
Meanwhile President Wilson ant
Acting Secretary Moore in prelim
mary way have been discussing tn,
course to be pursued in framing {
reply to the protest.
The subject will come before tn,
cabinet tomorrow, but the answer
may not be Immediate unless Japar
is insistent. On the contrary, it il
known President Wilson is disposed
to proceed with as much deliberatior
as diplomatic usage will permit.
1t has developed that Japan ha!

.L0RENA MATTHEWS
TAKES SDEP0S|T|ONS
LOOKING TO CRIMINAL ACTION
AGAINST AN ATTORNEY FOR
FALSE TESTIMONY.

Vancouver, B. c., June S.-Mrs. LO-
rena Matthews. who was eXtradited
from here to face the charge OF
numbering her husband at Saltwater
okla, and who is out on $4,000 bail
pending Ier trial in September ar
rived here Friday in company with
Moman Pruiett, an attorney of Okla
homa City. Their mission here, they
say, is to secure dispositions alleged
to have been filed in extraditicn
proceedings, and with these are OBJ
tanned within few days, they say
they will return to Oklahoma, "to
press criminal action against Attor-
ley Springer of Oklahoma" who, they
declare, got Mrs. Matthews extra
dited on false and bolstered evil
dence."
Mrs. Matthews says that in the ex-
tradition proceedings the affidavit CT
a negro named Colbert was intro
duced by Springer and filed tempo
rarily as an exhibit In this affidavit,
Colbert is said to have recited that
he was telephoned to by Mrs. Mat
thews at night and promised $500 II
he would come over and kill her
husband. Springer was cross exam
ined on this affidavit and it is claim
ed he said that Colbert was a re-
spectacle United States deputy mar
shall. Mrs Matthews says that Col
bert is criminal of the worst type
and that he would sell any ones soul
to regain his freedom from the state
penitentiary where he is serving a
life sentence for killing a man ten
years or so ago.
She says she has heard that men
promoting her prosecution promised
Colbert he would be released in four
years if he would make out the affi-
davit. She charges that Springer at
the time he swore Colbert was a dep
uty marshal, knew he was a desper-
ate criminal behind the bars.
Previous to being extradited from
here, Attorney Springer unsuccess-
fully tried to get her extradited from
Edmonton and Alberta. He brought
Colberts affidavit to back up his case
in Vancouver

A Reduction.

Charles l.. Sinnixon, London ad-
vertising expert, was praising in New
York the change that has come over
the advertisement.

he said, "it has been found that hon

world, the successful advertiser Is
modest and conservative in his state
ments.
advertising is no longer mistrust-
ed. Things are no longer as they
were in Phatt's day."
""You know Phatt, our 400-pound
bookkeeper?" said one man in the
street to another.
"'Yes, what Of him?'
"Well, he saw an ad in a paper
Fat folks reduced, Sand he an
swered It.
"Did he get any reply?'
"'oh, yes; it was just as advert
ised.'
"'That's good. And how much was
he reduced?'
why, just as the advertisement
said, s5.'"

joyed.
The camp opened with the song,

the camp, offered public prayer.
The first musical number was n
song by a quartette composed of Nj.
Burnitt, Miss Phillips, Mrs. Fay Ba-
ker and Mr.. Grunert.
Next was piano solo by Mrs. NJ
Tkard Miss Sammie Aldredge, whose
name appeared on the program for n

RUN NOVEL SALOON.

A novel device for inducing the
men in Swiss village to stay near
their own homes has been devised
by the good wives of the village of
Piona. II originated from a long
dispute with the men because there
was no inn in the locality, but no
sooner did a plan originate for a
new liquor saloon than the wives
appealed TO the cantonal authorities,
declaring that they did not want the
liking for drink to be introduced into
the village.
They secured a victory over the
men, but the latter took their re-
venge by going every night to the
next village, where there was a sa-
loon, and staying out late. The WON.
en- thereupon called a meeting 10
discuss means for keeping their men
folk at home.
1t was decided to open a saloon,
to be managed by the women in turn.
The house was opened and there was
a fresh management every week. The
men soon ceased to make excursions
to the ueighboring village and, in
stead, frequented the women's saloon
where the drink and food were good
and very cheap and no profit was
made from them.
