Washington, May 1S.-The tension
over the japanese situation continues
to excite anxious attention in official
diplonaaSic quarters but there were no
specific developments today at either
the White House, state department or
Japanese embassy. Secretary Bryan is
waiting the signature to the bill before
replying definitely to the note protest
ing the legislation. Governor Johnson
has twenty-One more days to sign the
measure according to law.
It has been suggested that the Japa-
nese government can f1nd no technical
reason to demand relief before the
commission at some action under the
terms of the Webb law to the detri
ment of the japanese subject in this
case further delay is probable. 1t Is
generally conceded the primary point
of contention by Japan is that the
Webb bill contravenes the treaty of

Army Plans to
Better Protect
Seaboard Cities
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, May 1S.--Secretary of
War Garrison in a prepared statement
today indicated the departments plan
to better protect seaboard cities against
land attacks and says that while the
coast defenses must depend uron the
mobile army for help. the works should
be constructed so its own garrisons
may protect it until the militia ar
riVes.
The department is considering the
installation OF guns up 70 six inch
calibre to help out the defense from
a land attack and is paying more at
tention to the construction of bat
teries But any country" says the
secretary, trusting to defenses unsup-
ported by a mobile army is doomed to
disaster. 1t is folly TO depend upon the
fortresses alone. A mobile force must
be drawn largely from the militia. The
we'll aimed soldiers is the determin-
ing element in the Landslide defenseS
of coast fortifications.

WEST IS URGED
TO ENTER RACE
West Florida Progressive is
Wanted to Oppose F1ori-
da's Senior Senator and
West May be Put For
ward-Gov. Trammell is
Also Being Urged, But it
is Not Known What He
Will Do.
BY FRANK l.. HUFFAkER.

Tallahassee, May 1S.-C!aude Len
gle's revelations as to the evident at
tempt to have John Martin, of Jack
Florida for four years. whereas he was
supposed to serve until July 1st only,
has served to increase the demand that
a progressive make the race against
Senator FTet cher with Attorney-Gen-
eral Tom West or some other West
Florida progressive bearing the stand
ard.
West has been fighting progressive
battles for years. GOV. Trammel has
been urged to run for some time, but
it is not known what he will do. Some
of his supporters, however, object to
his running because his election would
put Drane. as senate president in the
governors chair. The young governor
however, may make the start with
strong backing, as he is champlontng
progressive measures.
While here Senator Fletcher Z could
not be drawn out on the subject Of fed
eral appointments. He is understood
to be responsible for the appointment
of Martin as collector of customs.
Martin is a nephew of E. ]. TRAY,
known as the east coast railway work
err and the young man Is also a close
friend of j. r. Parrott, president of
the east coast railway.
With Martin, an avowed reactionary.
out of the way, Fletcher is understood
to favor for the collectorship, w. II.
Frecker, former mayor Of Tampa, who
is a Canadian by birth, and who is
expected to appoint Attorney Sam t
Fletcher of Tampa cousin of Sen
ator Fletcher, deputy collector in case
OF the appointment.
The fact that Fletcher wired con-
gratulations to the Jacksonville board
of trade on account of Jacksonville be-
ing made headquarters for the Gus
toms collector, causes many to hold
him solely responsible for the change
against Tampa, Pensacola, Key West
and other ports.
THE RECALL FIGHT.
The initiative, referendum and re-
call fight, scheduled for last Monday,
will come up in the house tomorrow,
and that body is expected to give
more than the three hfths vote neces-
sary for submitting the new order of
things to the people. Defeat is pre-
dicted in senate, however, unless senti-
n1ent changes, although d majority, but
not three fifths of the senator's are
said to be favorable.
Fear is expressed that nothing defn-
ite will be done by the legislature
toward abolishing the convict lease
system.
Friends of Bryans primary bill are
tulating themselves on the fact
that the measure got through without
a amendments other than a. few tackled
on in the house.
