MAY HAVE DIFFICULTY
IN RENEWING TREATIES

The formal signing yesterday of the
convention which. when ratified by the
Senate. will renew for five years the spe-
c,al arbitration treaty between the United
States and Great Britain-the fourth of
such treaties to be renewed this year
calls attention to the existence of other
arbitral arrangements In the negotiation
of which the United States may haze
trouble.
Diplomats here are awaiting with much
interest the expiration Of similar treaties
between this country and Japan ard
Mexico. respectively. The treaty with
Japan expires by limitation August "a.
Although important negotiations between
that nation and the United States are in
progress in consequence of Japan'S pro-
test against the California anti-aiien land
law. President Wilson has announced his

Rejoinder to Bryan to Be Submitted
to State Department Early
This Week.

The successful treatment by the Cana
dian parliament Of complaints from Brit
lsh Columbia of the competition of Japa-
nese has attracted the attention of the
state Department and the Japanese EN-.
bassy. in connection with the negotia-
tlons now going on in regard to the anti.
alien legislation in California
As the underlying principle of the Can
adian legislation is sepaTa ton of the
two races in the interest of permanent
peace. which is aimed to be attained
through absolute exclusion of all but the
travelling and student classes. it has
been suggested that a similar remedy
might be found to fit the present issue
in the United States
Japan Did Not Object.
1t is pointed out that the representa-
tives of the Japanese government them
selves in Canada made no objection tc
the Canadian legislation. which would
seem to afford ground for the belief that
like result might be had here.
Probably in such case the exclusion
would have to be mutual. applying as
we'll to Americans seeking to enter ia
pan as to Japanese trying to gain en-
trance to the Pacific coast.
There Is one very practical difficulty
that has already been brought 20 the
attention of the negotiatOrs which is
that not even by treaty can the United
States government prohibit an American
citizen from going abroad into any coun-
try he pleases. SO that the desired OBJ
ject of exclusion could be realized only
by means of positive legislation by the
Congress in this country and by the
diet in Japan.
Japan's Rejoinder Ready.
The Japanese rejoiner to Secretary
Bryan's reply to the original Japanese
protest against the California alien land
legislation will be submitted to the State
Department early this week. according to
present plans
There has been good deal Of ex-
change by cable between the Japanese
embassy here and the foreign office in
Toxic, necessitated by the demands of
the latter for exact information as to
the national and state laws regarding
not only alien land ownership. but nat
uralization, although up to the present
moment the Japanese government has
not seen n to suggest an amendment to
the American naturalization laws in the
interest of Japanese in this country.
Pressure in Japan.
Notwithstanding the pressure in cer-
tain quarters at home, it is regarded as
extremely doubtful whether the Japanese
embassy will turn to an amendment Of
the naturalization laws as a solution
Of the present issue between the two
countries.
Meanwhile indications point to a ju-
dicial test of the California alien land
law as soon as possible after August 10,
when it will go into operation, though 1t
by no means follows that in the event
of a decision adverse to their claims the
Japanese government will be willing to
abandon its efforts to secure relief from
what 1t declares to be discrimination
against the Japanese.

AUTO MAKES PLUNGE
OVER EMbANKMEN1
Rear Admiral and Mrs. FiSke,
Vehicle Occupants, Mar
roWIy Escape Injury.

Occupying an automobile which ran
over an embankment following contact
with a depression in the roadway, Rear
Admiral Bradley A. Fiske. U. S. N, and
Mrs. F1ske narrowly escaped serious in
jury near Cabin John bridge Friday aft
ernoon.
Admiral Fiske and Mrs. FISH left
Stoneleigh Court, where they have an
apartment. early Friday afternoon in
their electric automobile, and rode out
the Conduit road, visiting Cabin John
bridge. They were returning to the city
in the vehicle when about hundred
yards east of Cabin John bridge a small
dog ran out into the roadway.
Dog Causes Accident.
In an effort to avoid the dog Admiral
Fiske guided his machine toward the side
of the road AS he did so the wheels ran
into q rut. The admiral was unable to
steer the machine back to the better
roadway and the vehicle went over the
embankment.
The admiral held on to the steering
Wheel and Mrs. Fiske grasped the inside
of the car, both expecting the machine
would be overturned In the descent the
vehicle turned, suddenly and one of the
front wheels was demolished. Fortunate
~ the embankment was only about ten
feet above the next level space, and
neither of the occupants was injured.
Mrs. Fiske. however. suffered slightly
from shock. The admiral assisted her
from the machine and up to the road
way.
Aided by Commander Leigh.
Within short time thereafter Com
mander Richard II. Leigh, L. s. n, who
was returning to his apartment at the
Westmoreland. appeared in his automo-
bile. Mrs. Fiske was taken to Stone
leigh Court in Commander Leigh's ma
chine, the admiral remaining at the
scene Of the accident. After some delay
another auto was sent out from the city
and after the broken wheel had been re-
paired the disabled vehicle was towed to
the city.
