SENATORS SAY "lNSlDI0US
LOBBY" Is NOT REAL
Declared at White House President
Will Assume Direction of the
Inquiry.

Washington, June 4. - The United
States senate began its official hunt
for the "insidious lobby which Presi-
dent Wilson charged existed to modl-
fly the tariff bill Monday The IN
quiry was carried on by special com
mittee after the leaders of the under
taking had held a final conference
with President Wilson.
Sixteen senators we're examined and
not one Of them knew anything OF the
existence Of the lobby referred to by
the president Not one of them knew
anything of money being used by any
body. Everyone declared that no one
had approached him Improperly ana
t. a man they defended The right OF
citizens to come to Washington to
confer with members of congress over
legislation that was vital to their Dusl-
ness and industries.
1t was given out at the White House
that President Wilson had taken per-
sonal charge of the inquiry, and that
the Democratic members of the com
mittee would operate under his olrec-
tions. Senator Overman and Sena-
Reed were summoned to the White
House for orders. Senator Walsh,
Democrat who will vote against free
wool and free sugar and member OF
the committee, was ignored. The
president submitted to these two sena-
tors such information as he had ana
urged them to do all within their pow
er to enable him to make good.
The president has let it be under
stood that he will not appear before
the committee. On his behalf SEN
ator Reed will conduct the cross-ex-
animation of all witnesses. The pres1-
dent made an informal statement to
newspaper correspondents.

MA TAMORAS is TAKEN
BY MEXICAN REBELS
Victors With Plans of Fertilization At
tack Vulnerable Points Guided
by Traitor.

Brownsville, Tex, June blum
dreds are believed to have been killed
in battle that ragged for IL hours be-
tween the rebels under Gen. Lucio
Blanco and the federal forces in Mata-
moras, Mex, the northern stronghold
of the federal government, and which
resulted, after desperate fighting, In
the capture of the city by the reDels
Tuesday night.
Much of the fighting was hand to
hand. Mai. Estaban Ramos, one OF
Mexico's noted soldiers, made heroic
defense against terrible odds. His Of
ficers capitulated only after their chief
had been mortally wounded by half
dozen rebel bullets and lay at the
point Of death in a hospital in Browns
vile.
The attack began at 1890 in The
morning, when the Constituencies
under General Blanco advanced In
skirmish line. The federals had prac-
tically no chance to hold the city, and
their resistance was called remarkable
by American army officers who viewed
the assault from this side OF the river.
The rebels charged this three times.
and each time were hurled back. Sixty
of their number were electrocuted.
Finally they concentrated their assault
upon the Matamoras light plant. Major
Ramos dispatched Captain Velez, his
most trusted aid, with two lieutenants
and picked band of 20 sharpshoot-
ers to defend the plant and save the
wire fence.
The federals made a gallant defense,
but were outnumbered four to one and
Captain Velez, the lieutenants and the
SQUAD of soldiers were killed to
man after they had retreated to the
very doors of the identification plant.

An annual appropriation of $780,
600 year for three years for build

An appropriation of 100000 a.
year for three years to begin sys-
tematic plan of building dormitories

of $1,010,000 was explained and the
request emphasized at general
hearing before senate and assem-
bly, committee on education attend
ed by heads of state normal schools.

planned in detail the needs of the
schools to meet increasing attend
ance and the greater scope necessary

JAPANS POSITION
IS MADE PLAIN
Country Demands Absolute
Equality for Its Citizens.
CHlNDA TALKS WITH BRYAN
Ambassador Has Long Conference
With the Secretary of State
President Wilson Given the
Documents at Once.

Washington, June Claiming that
the Webb law was a discrimination
against the Japanese, in derogation of
the equalities of treatment prescribed
by international law end violation of
the treaty of 1911, Japan has sent a
rejoinder Wednesday to the United
States reply to Japan's protest against
the California law. The note was de-
Hvered to Secretary Bryan in person
by Ambassador Chinda.
Nothing in the nature of an ultima
tum is contained in the note Its gem
eral tone is to invite further discus
sion of the controverted points, and it
contains nothing to make for a final
issue
The Japanese note was very long.
Secretary Bryan and Ambassador
Chinda were in accord that no good
purpose could be served at this time
by public discussion of the delicate
question, and, therefore, both officials
gave notice that any attempt to pub
lish what might purport to be even the
substance of the three communications
which have now passed between the
two governments must be based en-
tirely upon speculation.
1t is known, however, that the whole
tone of the rejoinder is that of a digni-
fed and orderly presentation of jap
ans view of the case, concluding with
an invitation to further negotiations.
Ambassador Chinda went to the
state department by appointment. In
stead of merely acknowledging receipt
Of the note and promising to consider
it, Secretary Bryan requested the am
bassador to wait while he read the
communication, and when he had fin
ished there was an informal discus
sion.
Secretary Bryan was deeply inter-
ested in the points made in the re-
ioinder, which are believed to have
beer directed more to the end of dem
onstrating that the legislation Of the
Californians, taken in connection with
the recent action of the Arizona legis-
lature and the projected legislation in
other western states, tended to impair
the equality of treatment to which
Japanese were entitled under the gen.
eraI principles of international law,
than to the charge that the Webb act
constituted technical violation of the
treaty of 1911 between America and
Japan.
Toxic. June efforts are being
made by Baron Ei-Ichi Shibusawa,
chairman of the Bankers association;

cotting of California, both in connec-
ton with the Panama-Pacific exposi-
ton and otherwise The agitation has

BECKER SEEKS NEW TRIAL.
Lawyer Files Motion on Behalf of Con-
vlcted Police Lieutenant.

New York, June 6.-Argument on
the motion for a new trial for
Charles Becker, the former police
lieutenant, now in the death house at
Sing Sing awaiting execution for the
murder of Herman ROsenthal. was
begun before Justice Golf in the
criminal branch of the supreme court.
Joseph A. Shay of Is Broad street,
counsel for Becker, submitted a num-
Der of affidavits on which he based
his motion. Mr.. Shay was opposed
by Assistant District Attorney Frank
Moss, aided by J. Robert Rubin.
In his argument Mr.. Shay based his
motion on four specific grounds-the
production of new evidence; the mis-
conduct of a juror in the trial of
Becker; that the verdict was con-
trary to the law and to the weight of
evidence, and that new trial should
be granted in the interests of justice.
