JAPAN WOULD RENEW TREATY
Bryan Hopeful of Overcoming Arbi-
tration Opposition.

Washington, June 16.-Viscount
China, the Japanese ambassador
has advised Bryan that Japan Is
willing to renew for another five
years its arbitration treaty with the
United States, which expires on Aug
ust "a.
Bryan, in making the announce
ment, said he not only hoped, but
expected that the senate would rati-
fly the new arbitration treaties sign
ed with Great Britain and other
countries, despite the opposition
against them. No date for signing
the Japanese renewal has been de-
termined.
The senatorial opposition, which
Bryan is hopeful of overcoming, was
originally voiced by Senator Cham
berlain, who insisted that in re-
newing the treaty with Great Britain
specific exceptions be made to re-
move the Panama canal tolls con-
troverys from the field Of arbitra-
ton. The question of arbitrating
the issue with Japan over the Cali
fornia alien land law also has been
the subject of discussion among the
senators opposed to renewing the
arbitration treaty.

cut as II for baby clothes, one little
cotton undershirt and one long baby

Told that she was to be the mo-
Their OF twins, Mrs. Hartmann smil-
ed and said she was glad.
"My relatives know l am in Kan

address, for I don't want them to
worry. They must never know the
first baby was born in a park, for
l am well able to afford hospital
comforts"
The patients name was given as
Mrs. Brown when she was taken to
the hospital, but she afterward said
her name was Hartmann.

WILSON PUSHES
MONEY REFORM
Wants Legislation Enacted &C the
Present Session.
PREPARES CURRENCY MESSAGE
Wouid Evolve System to Preclude
Possibility OF Artificial Distur-
bance After the Tariff
Reform.

Washington, June 16.-President
Wilson still wants currency legisla-
ton enacted at the present session
of congress and planned to begin
today his message on the subject.
1t will be presented about June 23
or "a, about the time that men,
bers of the house get back for re-
organipation and work on the cur
reney bill.
1t was announced today from ad-
ministration quarters that Secretary
McAdoo and Chairman Owens ana
Glass of the senate and house bank
ing and currency committees, had
reached an agreement on the main
features Of the currency bill they
had been drafting for the last two
months.
The president, 1t is understood,
will not go into detail in his cur
rency message, preferring to back
the Owen-Glass bill as an express
sion of his ideas, but will call at
tention to the need for currency re-
form. His argument will be along
the lines of his letter recently to
Senator Tillman, in which he de-
clared that ''in loyalty to the coun-
try" currency legislation was neces-
sary during the present session of
congress, $50 that any attempt to
create artificial disturbances after
he tariff shall have become a law
nay be offset by a free system OF /
credit which will make it possible
or men, big and little, to take care
# themselves in business"

CLAIM PRESIDENT
ACTED UNFAIRLY
Sugar Men Complain Of Treatmenl
Received.
DENY AN "NsDIoUs" LOBBY
Assert That Assurance Was Given
Them That They Had Nothing
TO Fear-Several Wit
nesses ON Stand.

Washington, June 12.-Investiga-
ton Of the sugar lobby" by the
senate lobby commission yesterday
was to a marked extent a contro-
versy over whether President Will
son had given the sugar producers
reason to believe they would have
nothing to fear" from free sugar
under his administration.
Out of the days testimony in
which Louisiana and Hawaiian wit
nesses repeatedly declared they had
not received fair treatment from
the president and had been misled
by others as to his purpose, the
committee succeeded in drawing
what are believed to be some of the
most important facts thus far de-
veloped Some of the sugar men
frankly admitted that they consti-
tuted lobby" although they OBJ
jected to the charge that any of
their actions had been 'insidious"
or in any way illegitimate or under
handed. They admitted that COM
prehensive campaigns had been or
ganized and carried out, to create
"backfires" on senators and repre-
sentatives from their own states, in
the hope of winning their support
to the anti-free sugar side.
Jules Godchaux, a Louisiana SUI
gar planter, said that he endeavored
to get the people with whom he does
business to write and telegraph to
the senators and representatives to
call the attention of congress to
their arguments.
John E. Hamburg of New York,
manager for large Hawaiian sugar
firm, admitted that his firm had
urged all of its 1900 or more Gus
.omers to write to senators and
representatives pointing out the de- I
Struction to business that would &
follow free sugar.
Plainly resentful of the presi-
tents recent statements as to the !
operation of an "insidious lobby in
the Louisiana and Ha-
waiian sugar men enlivened the
earrings with frequent attempts to g

hey have received that sugar would @
lot be made entirely free. Jules d
iodchaux and e. F. Dickinson, the t

hey had tried in vain to see the "

Great Progress
at LahOntan Dam

Up at Lahontan the progress OF
work has been excellent lately, says
the Churchill Standard. The amoun,
OF dirt handled daily is now at the
maximum, or about 1900 cubic yards
OF material each working day. This
is distributed by one hundred head
of stock, thirty of which are from
the project farms. and together 800
men are at work or the task i%ncurl-
bent upon building the great earth
en- structure. The embankment has
reached a height that renders the
dam as completed to date safe from
any possible flood, which would be
cared for by the entire set of six
teen controlling gates, which are III
place.
The paving or the upstream side
of the dam is up to a safe elevation
above the ten lower control gates,
and if the water should by any prank
of nature rise within the i1npounding
dam, it would be cared for by the
control gates. before it could exceed
the height of the paved upstream
surface of the structure.
The dam will undoubtedly be com
pleted as a structure by August Of
next year, after which about all that
will remain to be done will be minor
Establishments to the dam and the
clearing away of Camp Lahontan. In
other words in a little more than
eight months we will witness the
completion OF Lahontan dam, an
event that is fully worthy OF a good
sized celebration on the part OF the
residents of this and other sections
of the state. Now is certainly none
too early a time to suggest that pre-
parations be entered into soon looking
towards making the date of compile
ton OF the Lahontan dam a memora-
bic one.
