WILL MAKE NO
WARLIKE MOVE
FEAR TO ALARM JAPAN
No Demonstration Will BE Made
While Negotiations Are Pending for
Settlement of California Difficulty
diplomatic Relations Will BE
Maintained says Wilson.

Washington. May l6.-President
Wilson has determined that no war
ships or troops, shall be moved, or
anything resembling a military or ma
val demonstration shall be carried on
by the United States while diplomatic
negotiations with Japan over the CAL
ifornia alien land legislation are in
progress so that no alarming interpre-
tation can be placed even on the or
binary maneuyers Of the army and
navy.
This decision Of the president was
announced at the White House last
night. II answered a report current
in official circles late in the day that
precautionary movements by the ar
my and navy were contemp lated and
had been discussed at a conference
between the president, Secretary Dan
els of the navy department. Secre-
tarv Garrison Of the war department
and Acting Secretary Moore of the
state department.
Mr.. Moore went to the White
House it was explained to discuss the
framing Of the reply TO the recent ia
pan protest against the California
land legislation while the war and
navy secretaries called to discuss rou-
tine affairs of their departments.
White House officials said there
had been no change in the diplomatic
phases of the japanese question ard
that the situation was promising an
early settlement. 1t was emphatical-
ly denied that army and navy maneu-
vers or movements Of any kind not in
Guided in the ordinary plans arranged
months in advance of execution mad
been contemplated at any time.
The rumor which called forth the
White House statement probably be-
gan its rounds earlier in the day wher
taa war department made public it'
orders to three officers and two com
panies of coast artillery to sail from
San Francisco for Honolulu about May
"a. These orders, 1t was explained
were in conformity with the program
for the creation of a permanent anc
sufficient garrison in Hawaii, outlln'
ed in the last annual report OF the
secretary of war and merely carried
out plans of long standing.

Farley, organizer Of the United Mine
Workers, is the real cause Of the

Farley told the senators that the
census bulletin proved the wage cost
of producing a ton Of coal in West
Virginia was forced down to So cents,
compared with 70 cents in other
states. He declared that violence in
West Virginia in the past Is years
was due to the operators ignoring this
fact Farley continued:
There has been no remedy in the
courts for union man who was as
saulted. The natural result was the
miners were cowed. If the senate in
