publican party was certain of defeat,
should be upheld. And while they ap-
prove of the President elects attitude
in entertaining no sympathy, with any
movement when would tend to tear down
the civil service. they are hopeful that
this attitude does not extend quite that
far
Extra Session Legislation
So far as legislation in the extra ses-
sion is concerned the sentiment in Con
gross decidedly favors that nothing be
considered outside of the tariff. There is
also a decided opinion among the men,
bers of the ways and means committee
that the tariff should be passed in sched-
ues rather than In one bill, and this
question will be definitely determined in
caucus; there is, however. such an
overwhelming sentiment in favor of this
plan, it is practically determined now. 1t
Is quite uncertain just what further steps
will be taken toward the investigation of
TIC money trust under the new adminis-
tration
Chairman Pujo will not be member of
the next Congress-, and Representative
Glass of Virginia is the ranking member
of the committee. and will probably be its
chairman. Mr.. Glass. it is known, does
rot favor any further investigation and
his attitude is said to have always been
against the present one. Unless Con-
gress orders it done, therefore. 1t is reas-
onably certain that the investigation will
end with the present Congress, and what

LOBBYISTS WAR
ON TARIFF CHILD
LABOR CLAUSE
Caucus May End by Thursday.
Bill Will Go to Senate
Next Week.

WASHINGTON, June 2S.-The same
interests that attempted to prevent
the enactment Of a child labor law are
now bending their energies to pre-
vent the inclusion in the tariff bill Of
the amendment prohibiting the i'm
port OF goods made either in whole or
in part by child labor and convicts.
Senator Borah, who is watching the
situation, says the Democrats will not
yield to the opportunities Of import
ers VINO are attempting to nulfify this
important amendment.
Chairman Simmons said tonight
that he expects to be able to report
the tariff bill to the Senate by the
latter part OF next week. Tho caucus
may conclude its deliberations BY the
middle Of the week.
Senator AsfTurSt to-day offered an
amendment putting wooden cloths,
stockings, blankets and hannels, wom-
ems and children's dress goods,
ready made clothing and articles Of
wearing apparel generally on the free
list.
This sweeping amendment led to a
lively debate that ran the gamut OF
free trade, tariff for revenue only
and protection, In the end the ma
jority decided the amendment would
be too far-reaching and 1t was voted
down.
Senator Hoke Smith, explaining the
action OF the caucus in keeping coun-
tervailing duties on wheat and flour,
said II was not the intention to make
these countervailing duties general.
The attempt to reconsider the &C
ton of last night putting spool thread
on the free list was not made.

BRYAN CONFERS
WITH JAP ENVOY
ON HEMET RAID
California Incident Said to Have
Caused Setback to AmicabIe
Adjustment of Differences.

WASHINGTON. June 2s.-The Jap
anese Ambassador, Viscount Chinda,
called at the State Department to-
day after the close Of business hours,
and had a conference with the Sec
rotary Of State on the alleged out
RACES against japanese and Koreans
at Hemet, Cal, and on the reply Of
the United States to the last protest
OF Japan
At the japanese Embassy It was
said that the Ambassador had re-.
ceived a report from tho Consul Gen
eral at San Francisco and that It was
laid before the Secretary Of State. The
embassy also stated that the Consul
General had been instructed to make
further investigation and q further
report Fresh Instructions from ia
pan ask full explanation OF the He
met affair.
1t is understood that the Japanese
Foreign once has been forced, be-
cause Of the outbreak at Hemet, to
show a firm hand again in order b
square itself with public opinion in
Japan. In other words, the incl
dent" at Helmet has apparently put
back very seriously the plan OF SCI
Element, which had been substantially
agreed upon.
II has been stated within the past
ten days that the President and Sec
rotary of State had the matter in
shape and that It would require only
some little further consideration by
the President before the answer would
be formally handed to Viscount Chin
da.

LONDON, June est was "Hullo,
Rag Time" at the Hippodrome that
brought Evelyn Thaw within my
jurisdiction, as it has brought many
others who / never expected to meet.
So, with the open sesame of elusive
art as a go between, Miss Nesbit, "
as she is programmed here, received me
without hesitancy in her rooms at the
st. James Hotel, off Piccadilly, and
our art robbed me Of qualms. II was
quite early morning.

at the back with yellow. Her hair
was loosely fluffed out; she was de-
void Of the slightest effort at make
up, her ivory white face and her I'M
Redeemed lips looking quite startlingly
natural. She was as pretty as any
picture of-herself, and though the
edge of reluctant youth may have
frayed a little, there isn't a shadow Of
a doubt on the score of Evelyn Mes

I have professionally met have I
found more possession, a keener
poise and less elf-consciousness than

as we sat opposite each other. Il had
no idea of going back to the stage
after all these years.
How many?" l asked. You need

ooh, I'm not like that" she said,
with the first wistful smile; Il don't
mind recalling anything. The last
previous time l appeared on the stage
was in 1904 in The Wild Rose
'~Well. on the Olympic, coming over,
met lot of theatrical people, among
them Lee Shubert, Martin Beck and
Albert DeCourvilIe. They all advised
me to make the break, especially De-

So when DeCourville telegraphed me
at Paris to come at once to London
