JUDICIAL TEST OF
LAND LAW LIKELY
Washington Looks to Nip
ponese Government to
Take Initiative

WASHINGTON, July 1s.-The Amer
lean reply to the last two Japanese
notes on the California antf-alien land
law was delivered today by Secretary
Bryan to Ambassador Chinda. who at
once cabled it to Tokyo.
AS in the case of the preceding
notes. the contents of the latest one
were withheld from publication
There is some expectation in off,
cial circles that the delivery of this
last note will conclude the negotia-
tions on this subject between the two
countries for the present at least. if
not altogether.
1t is declared that the American re-
ply to the various points of objection
to the California legislation has been
made so complete as to remove most
of them from the field OF discussion.
Even in cases where the Japanese.
contentious have not been manifestly
completely negative. the expert diplo-
matists are said so TO have framed
their responses as to reduce the points
to clear issues which probably can be
duJuSlSQ oHlS OH t4c pcoiS VI Jtuiciof
decisions.
The result has bee4 reached through.
the exchange of aves notes, the nego-
tiations beginning May last with the
original protest by Japan against the
projected alien land owning act by the
California legislature. This elected a
reply from Secretary Bryan on May
19. or as soon as he had been advised
OF the actual signature of the Webb
act by Governor Johnson.
On June 4 the Japanese government
fled its rejoinder aGs olis~Jul yA<s this
was supplemented by an elaborate ex-
pansion Of the arguments.
Unless the Japanese foreign office
concludes that there is something in
the American note delivered today re-
qufring immediate attention and reply,
probably there will be no further Dip
lomatic exchange for at least another
month. At the expiration OF that time
the Webb alien land owning act will
become effective, and the way will be
opened for judicial test of it's consti-
tutionality.
The state department is looking to
the Japanese government to take the
initiative

DOWAGER OF FAMILY
u HIS SECOND WIFE

From time to time, ever since the
divorce of Henry E. Huntington and
Mrs Mary A. Huntington five years
ago, the engagement of the railroad
magnate OF Los Angeles and the widow
of Coils p. Huntington has been
rumored and promptly denied When
the news came from Paris yesterday
that the two had wed there was no
surprise among their particular friends
In fact, the II told you sos were
very much in evidence
Mr.. Huntington recently completed
a splendid villa near Pasadena, filled
with rare works of art and beautifed
with wonderful. gardens. That the
great expense and care he lavished on
this country home were prompted by
"a desire to make it suitable to the
taste Of his bride is now generally
commented on by the couples social
acquaintance.
Mrs. Arabella Huntington has not
lived here for nearly 20 years, pre-

ever, that she will again make Call
fornia her home and that Oak Knoll in
Pasadena will he the scene of many
brilliant social gatherings.
Since her divorce from Mr.. TT. f..
Huntington. Mrs. Mary Huntington has
lived quietly in this city at 80 Maple
ctreet with her only unmarried daugh-
ter. Miss Marian Huntington. She has
taken little or no part in society. pre-
ferring to devote her time to favored
philanthropies.
4 She secured a divorce on the ground
of incompatibility. and Mr.. Huntington
settled upon her means sufficient to
keep her in luxury all her life.
4 common love for art and litera-
turc drew Mr.. Huntington and the
widow of his uncle together. Friends
were aware for several years of this
artistic l1inship and freely predicted
that eventually Mrs. Coils P. Hunting

NOTES OF SENATE.

The success of dry farming in west
erh Kansas may depend to some ex-
tent on the disposition OF a bill intro
duced in the senate today by Senator
Malone, of Rawlins county. This bill
provides for a mass meeting of the Of
ficialS and Interested citizens of coun-
ties with less than 10000 population in
the western section of the state for the
purpose of planning means to stop the
drifting of soil caused by the winds and
the loose dirt under dry farming meth
DDS
It seems that the attempts to mulch
the soil in Thomas county last spring
resulted in the soil from a stretch of
land eight miles wide and twenty miles
long, piling in the cuts of the Rock
the road to dig out the dirt with SHOW
els and snow plows. And the land
from which the soil was blown was
as smooth as a pavement.
This problem in dry farming has
alarmed the farmers of the western
part of the state. They realize the
value of treating their soil after rains
and the immense benefit to their crops
from mulching methods-but not many
farmers are DESTROYS of having their
farms blown to the opposite end of the
county or in the cuts of the Rock ISL
and and Union Pacific railroads.
1t is proposed to bring the problem
before the county commissioners in
Joint session and try and detect
means of keeping the soil on the
ground after it has been cultivated and
narrowed.
The senate committee on state and
federal affairs has approved the house
resolution asking congress to lend to
the farmers of the western agricultural
regions s., 900 900 of certain idle govern
ment funds.
If a bill introduced by Senator Nixon
of Summer county, passes the leg1sla-
ture sheriffs in Kansas hereafter VIII
not be allowed to draw mileage for
posting election notices in the pre-
cincts over their districts. Instead the
sheriff will publish in the official coun-
ty newspaper the notice of the primary
and general elections. Senator Nixon
predicts that the state will save thou
sands of dollars annually in passing a
bill OF this kind.
