Dunn was unmoved by the verdict,
but Davenport seemed greatly affect
ed He had been hoping for an ac-
quittal, and almost broke down when
he heard the decision.
The case was tried before Federal
Judge. John Rellstab in the local
branch Of the United States District

Benjamin Havens. court clerk, in the
absence of Judge Rellstab. who had

Girls Captured During Riot.
Miss Silverman and six of her band

riot at the Fisher mills, in Ellison

sentenced to serve ten days.
Gustav A. Hunziker, counsel for the
strikers, made hard fight to save
the girls. Recorder Carroll however,
on the testimony of the police and
two mill hands, Josephine Stapleton
and Loretta Smith, held that the
charge of Constructing trafic2 had
been sustained.

Hunziker: ITO send young women

They have been working women,

anger than by anything since the

Members of the Progressive city
committee, those of them who at
tended the meeting last night, unani
mously indorsed former Senator
Everett Colby as a candidate for the
nomination for Governor. They did
not do it as members of the commit
tee. because that would conflict with
the party's policy of not making pre-
primary Endorsements, but after the
meeting they got together as "citi-
zens" and framed a resolution ex-
pressing their desire that former
Senator Colby became a candidate,
and appointing themselves a COM
mittee to ask him to run
Mr.. Colby was not at the meeting
and knew nothing of it until he saw
an account of it in this morning s
Star. He would make no comment
today. other than to say that he is
not candidate. and when reminded
that he had been quoted as saying
he would run if 1t was the desire of
the majority that he do so he laughed
and said that was his position.
The fermer senator would not say
what he would consider as an ade-
how he would Judge whether or not
he was popularity wanted as a candi-

The meeting was rather desuitory
affair, until Judge Sweeney suggested
that the committee ask former Sena-
tor Colby to become a candidate for
the gubernatorial nomination, and
that he be recommended to all the
Progressives Of the State. There was
a little objection to this, however,
owing to the plan of the party not to
make pre-primary Endorsements. so II
was Withdrawn. Secretary Simpson,
of the county committee. read the
constitution, which 1t Is proposed to

VIII WILSON SON REQUESTS REQUESTS
S|SSON'S SILENCE
Asks Explosive Senator to
Eschew ExpIetixes Scarify-
ing to Jap SensibiIities.

/ WASHINGTON, May 21.-President
Wilson today sent for Representative
Sisson, Of Mississippi. and urged him
not TO make any speech that would
offend the sensibilities of Japan.
Mr.. sisson. who recently made a
war speech" had given notice OF
his intention to speak in the House
Friday on the legal phases of the
Japanese alien land question. He had
a Commute conference with the
President. during which. however he
assured Mr.. Wilson that. he would
not discuss the pending negotiations
or touch on anything of an incen-
diary character, limiting himself to
an argument on alien land ownership.
That was the White House version
of the conference though Mr.. Sisson
himself declined to make any COM
ment, declaring merely that he would
speak Friday.
The President Is known to be anx-
ious about the discussion in Congress
at this stage of the japanese ques-
tion, especially involving any obser
vations on racial discrimination
1t is indicated at the White House
that the American note, just sent,
and the tenor of future exchanges will
be to assure Japan that the majority
of Americans have a genuine respect
and admiration for the achievements
and character of her people. Public

n inn. lion fx.H o. he

time. as seriously embarrassing the
negotiations between the state depart
ment and the japanese ambassador.
TOXIC, Japan, May 21.-The Jap
anese foreign office has received and
is studying the reply of the United
States government to its original pro-
test in regard to the California alien
land ownership legislation. 1t de-
clares that by agreement with Wash
ington the document win not be made
public. The officials make no com
ment on the subject and no statement
as to whether it is satisfactory or
not.
The Japanese public apparently is
waiting for information before ex-
pressing its opinion on the American
reply. In the meantime the press re-
iterates that the question goes
deeper than the ownership of land or
the making of treaties. and that it is
racial discrimination which must be
wiped out by mutual education and
understanding and the fusion of
ideas.
Iichiro Tokutomi. editor Of the
Kokumin Shimbun. writes in an ar
ticle today:
THE patriotism and loyalty of
Japan should join forces with the
liberality of America. BY this means
the Pacific would nobly justify its
name
Professor Masaharu Anesaki. of the
College of Literature In the Imperial
University at Toxic. was designated
today as the first Harvard lecturer
on Japanese life and literature.
