Becomes Pa y to Pending
Minnesota Rate Case.
FURTHER DELAY LIKELY
Action Expected TO Defer Final De-
clslon In the Case Until Next Fall.
Court Makes No Comment In Ae.
ceptina Intervening Brief.

Washington, April 22.-The SUI
preme court, on the application of
Attorney General McReynolds, has
permitted the department OF justice
to file brief In the pending Mime
sofa rate cases because of its in
terest in the Texas rate cases. The
latter are said to involve the same
points The court made no comment
in accepting the intervening brief.
The action will, it is believed, defer
final decision of this case by the SUI
preme court until next fall, or at least
until late in the end of the present
session of the court. The court must
pass upon the points raised In the
brief of the government, which will
necessitate some delay. 1t was at
first rumored that filing of the gov
ernment brief might lead to a re.
argument of the case, but this is
hardly probable
II is rumOred here that the court
may have been equally divided up to
this time. II is said that Justice Van
deventer had not participated in the
considerable of this case, because he
was judge of the circuit court of ap-
peals in Missouri, that decided the
rate case tb re. The Missouri case is
now virtually the same as the Mime
sofa case. as the state cases were ar
gued together. With Vandeventer out
of IT the rest of the judges may be
equally divided on the question. This
has been advanced as one possible
reason for he long delay of the su-
preme court in arriving at decision.
In the Texas case the interstate
commerce commission directed rail
roads to raise certain rates in Texas,
or to reduce interstate rates from
points in Louisiana 20 Texas This
was done on the theory that the rail
roads in complying with the Texas
law had reduced the state rates so as
to discriminate against interstate
commerce. The government brief fled
with the commerce court and now
filed with the supreme court was to
uphold the power of the commission
TO prevent such discrimination.

Unthinking AgitatOrs Held
Under Restraint.
GREAT INTEREST SHOWN
Entire Nation Awaiting With intense
and Evident Anxiety the Action of
the California Legislature on the
Pending Alien Land Law.

Toxic, April 22.-The chagrin, disap-
pointment and wounded pride of Japan,
which last week were vented in angry
militant talk by irresponsible people,
have become somewhat modified. The
Japanese nation now awaits, with In.
tense and evident anxiety, the out
come of the deliberations in reference
to the California alien land holding
bill proceeding at Sacramento
The governmental and commercial
forces of Japan are using their utmost
exertions in endeavoring to restrain
the unthinking agitators here They
point out that there is not single re
sponsible person in either country who
even dreams of war.
Ii is becoming increasingly evident
that the agitation in Japan is largely
inspired by a small political group
seeking to embarrass the Japanese
government and putting forward the
American land question to rouse ma,
tional feeling and hide their real pur
pose.
Those newspapers which caused the
war talk among the "hotheads" are
now advocating a more dignified and
conservative attitude and expressing
the hope that the citizens of Califor
MIA viii spare Japan indignity and the
United States embarrassment.
