CRANE MAY GET
GUILDS JOB

Washington, ID. c., April 16.-Chas.
r. Crane of Chicago, who is known TO
be foremost among those whom Presi-
dent Wilson has had under considera-
tion for appointment as ambassador
to Russia. was a White House caller
today and the executive Offices were
silent about the subject of his visit.
Secretary Bryan, however, who was
caller about the same time, was
asked about the incumbency of the
present ambassador, Curtis Guild,
and said that Mr.. Guild had been
granted two months leave of alb
sence on account of his health
Those familiar with procedure in
the diplomatic service thought it
strange that Mr.. Guild would take a
two months leave if he were soon to
be supplanted, and also recalled that
Mr.. Crane on a former occasion had
let it be known that his business
would not permit of his absence from
the United States at present.
Mr.. Crane was appointed ambassa-
dor to China by former President Taft
but was recalled before he sailed
from San Francisco.

COFFEE SUIT TO
BE DISMISSED

Washington, D. c., April 1G.-The
antitrust suit against the Brazilian
yalorization scheme-the so-called cof
fee trust--will be dismissed within g
few days by Attorney General Nc
Reynolds as result of definite as
surances from the Brazilian govern
ment that the 100000 bags of coffee
valued at $1O,O0O,00O stored in New
York. have been sold to bonafide pur
chasers.
Attorney General McReynolds today
said the United States would accept
Brazil's assurance that the coffee mo
longer was in control of the valoriza.
ton committee. Brazil declared the
coffee ha sheen sold to rs roasters in
SO cities of 20 American states. Had
the compromise not been reached, it
was within the power of the United
States government to seize the coffee
under a new law passed by congress

WINS THE CUP.

Johanisthal, Germany, April 16.-
Pierre Daucourt, French aviato., ar
rived at the aerodrome here at 6:89
this evening from Paris, winning his
race with Edmund Audenars .or the
$1,000 Pemmery cup. The two men
left the suburbs Of Paris shortly aft
er o'clock this morning. The dis
tance is 535 miles. Audemars was
unable to 30 further than Wanne, Ger
many, today.
The feature of the race was the
long and daring daylight flight of Dau.
court. He encountered decde!y
stormy weather while crossing the
Ardennes. hut his flight was very lit
tie affected until he a't'voi iii the
valley of the Rhine here his caro-
plane was tossed up and down in the
air sometimes for dlS,tnc' Of 15U
yards by the strong and varying
winds
MACHINES WE'RE DEFECTIVE.

chimes used by Garros and Espanel de-
veloped defects early in the race and
they returned to starting point. Wei
mann, the American, also was obliged
to retire naccount of trouble with his
machine when near the finish of the
$50 knot course. Weimann entered
the contest representing the United
States, but driving a French water

LOWEST SALARY
IN COLORADO
TO BE $1,000

Denver, Colo, April 16.-Approx1-
mately Is hours after the time fixed
for final adjournment, at 6 p. M,
April Is, the nineteenth general as
sembly of Colorado actually closed it's
deliberations about 8 o'clock this
morning.
The clocks in both houses had been
set back and the records will show
that adjournment was taken at 6 p.
m. on the legislative day of April 10.
The failure of two conference COM
mittees to agree on the long appropri-
alton bill and the prolonged discus
sion of that measure by third con.
ference comm .ttee chiefly was re-
sponsible for prolonging the session
throughout the night. Not until
about PAS this morning did the coms
mittee adjust it's differences and it
was two hours later before the senate
and house finally gave approval to the
conferees report.
In the agreement on the long ap-
propriation bill the senate approved
raise of about 60 per cent ana tHe
house a reduction of approximately 80
per cent in figures contained in the
senate and house bills. The house
agreed to the senate bills on con.
gressional and legislative reapportion-
ment. No agreement was reached on
the bank guaranty bill.
The final agreement on the long ap'
preparation measure was reached aft
er an extended conference in the Of
fee of overnor E. NJ. Ammons.
Under its terms, the lowest salary
paid by the state will be $1,000 and no
salary reductions were made except
in cases where the incumbent receives
more than $500 annually.

HEATED DISCUSSIONS
ABOUT CREDENTIALS

Washington, d. c., April 16.--Dele-
gates to the congress of the Daught-
ers of the American Revolution were
ready for the election of officers when
they re-assembled in continental hall
today. Three women had been nom
mated last midnight for the leader
ship-Mrs. John Miller Horton, of
Buffalo, N. Y, the regular" candidate
supported by the administrations; Mrs.
VIM. Cummings Storey, of New York
City, and Mrs. Charles B. Bryan, of
Memphis, Tenn.
Three voting machines had been in
stalled and very few had been in
structed in their use. Much confu-
sion resulted.
On the floor of the congress heated
discussions regarding the work of
the reconstructed credentials commit
tee continued.
At the voting room, workers for the
various party candidates were much
in evidence and campaign literature
was being distributed.
This was objected to and all cam
paign literature and party workers
We're excluded from the vicinity.
Voting progressed very slowly and
as there are 1,10S registered delegates
entitled to vote, it is estimated the
result of the election will not be made
known until late tonight or tomorrow
morning.

CALIFORNIA NOW
PUTS IT UP TO
LITTLE NIPPON

Washington, D. c., April l6.-The
alien and land holding bill as passed
Ey the lower house of the California
legislature yesterday in its amended
form, is regarded by the officials here
as much more difficult than the orig
ilal measure for the Japanese govern
ment to oppose successfully for the
reason that it now closely follows the
lines of the alien ownership act which
for the past decade has been strictly
enforced in the District of Columbia
and the territories of the United
States, without objection from any
foreign government.
To lodge an objection to the mea-
sure based on strict equity, probably
it would be necessary for the Japan
csc government by decree to extend to
American resi1ents ~sT5apan the right
to acquire property in fee simple, a
privilege which, though intended to be
conferred by treaty, SO far has been
withheld in general application.

which had been abundant during the
