opinion Grows Out p peal Addressed by Secretary
of State Bryan cafci Chief Executive Requesting
Him to Veto Measure Whic Threatens Breach.

WASHINGTON, May 12.-President
Wilson believes negotiations between
Japan and the United States over the
alien land legislation In California are
not In an alarming state, but the in
terchange of views thus far had been
along frank and friendly lines. calcu-
lated to remove the appearance of dis
elimination against japanese sub
jects.
The President, discussing the sub
ject informally today, took the
position that the Webb bill would not
violate the treaty between Japan and
the United States. He intimated that
Japan's protest was not founded upon
a claim that the treaty would be
broken in any way, but upon the feel
ing that there was an effort to dis
criminate against Japanese on the
ground of their alleged ineligibility to
citizenship.
The President revealed that the
question of naturalization had not yet
entered the discussion with the Jap
anese ambassador, but that, of course,
underlying the bill, it was realized
that federal courts had not finally
passed upon the question or eligibility.
Hope Bill VIII Be Vetoed.
1t WAS. upon the basis that Japanese
were not accorded the privileges of
citizenship that the appearance OF
discrimination written in the bill had
arisen, and It was intimated at the
White House that for the present the
hope was that the legislation in Cali
fornia either would be vetoed by
Governor Johnson or delayed by ref
erendum to permit smoothing over
some of the features of the situation.
President Wilson endeavored to
make it plain that the conferences
thus far between Secretary Bryan or
President Wilson and the Japanese
ambassador were those of ."one gem
tleman to another"
Intimations that the Japanese pro-
test itself was couched neither in
vigorous nor aggressive language,
but was formal and friendly in char
acter. came from the President him

self during his talk today, and 1t was
pointed out that the phrase "a very
earnest protest employed by Secre-
tary Bryan in his message to Gov
ernor Johnson WAS the description of
the note which the American govern
ment had entertained rather than the
emphasis of the Japanese ambassa-
dor.
The President was disposed to talk
freely Of the subject and appeared
confident that satisfactory adjust
ment would be accomplished
The fact that Secretary Bryan
addressed an appeal to Governor
Johnson. of California. TO veto
the anti-alien land law, mas
much as the Governor had off,
cially at least repeatedly declared his
purpose to sign the bin as it passed
the Legislature, is taken in official
circles here as indicating either that
some powerful influences have been
brought to bear upon the Governor
in the interest of delay, or. and more
probably. that the Wilson admins
tration is perfecting It's record.
In this action there may be a double
purpose. first, to satisfy Japan that
the Federal government has done all
1t can to prevent the legislation under
its constitutional limitations, of
which many diplomats contend Japan
should have been aware when it
entered into treaty relations. and,
secondly, to place upon the State au-
thoritles of California the RESPONSE
bility for any serious outcome of the
alien land legislation.
Governor May Reply at Once.
AS the Legislature has already
adjourned, it is expected that
Governor Johnsons reply will be
forthcoming today or tomorrow. II
he yields to Secretary Bryan's appeal
the element OF urgency will be re-
moved, as Japanese land owners in
California will not be in immediate
danger of loss of their property. and

of 100 to ~
PRESIDENT
WARMLY DEFENDED
Mr.. Underwood Said Mr.. Wilson Made
but Two Suggestions About Tariff
Schedules-Reply to the Insurance
Companies by Representative Hull.

WASHINGTON. April 1.-THE Dem
ocratc caucus voted decisively late YES
terday to support the wool schedule OF
the Underwood tariff bill. placing raw
wool on the free list, after Representa-
tive Underwood had made a stirring APP
peal for the support of the caucus. BY
vote of 100 to II, am amendment of
fered by Representative Dies OF Texas, to
place raw wool on the dutiable list, was
rejected. Representative Dies's amend
ment proposed to place a duty Of II per
cent ad valorem on raw wool, he and
other champions of dutiable wool insist
ing that this was the judgment of the
ways and means committee before Presi-
dent Wilson saw the bill and suggested
a change
Majority Leader Underwood, i'll wind
ng up the discussion, warmly defended
9th the committee and the president. He
declared that the president had right
% make suggestions to Congress relating
% the tariff, but that the bill as whole
met with the chief executives approval
when he first read it, as it came from the
ommittee. Out of 1000 and more items
in the bill, said Mr.. Underwood, the
president only made two suggestions,
those affecting the sugar and wool sche
dulles. 1t seems to me that We should
accept those suggestions from the presi
dent of the United States
Representative CordelI Hull of Tonnes
see, author of the income tax law, de
dared yesterday that complaints of in
<urauce companies against the provisions
the law as affecting them were ground
ess One contention of the companies is
that dividends which IVnuId hp tayad
under the law. declared by mutual and
participating companies, are not dividends
in the commercial sense OF the word, but
re simply refunds of a portion of an
)vercharge collected with the annual pre-
MUM, held in trust, and at stated periods
etmned to the policy-holder.
The ways and means committee con-
tends an exhaustive investigation OF
books of insurance companies shows that
II many cases the earnings of compan-
les from previous Investment and holdings
are nearly as large as the amounts which
are annually distributed as dividends, and
shat it does not appear that a separation
OF sources of income is made for the pur-
pose of ascertaining the funds available
for dividends.
The committee holds that policyhold
er Is not promised a refund. but a par
ticipatOn in the surplus Of profits, and
that the plea that the dividend is re.
fnd of portion OF the premium rather
than a distribution Of the actual surplus
Of the company derived from all sources
! is not consistent Upon that basis. it is
held, the insurance companies are in q
position to declare dividends which vii

I Was Hard-Hanson Made Hit
With Clever Exhibition.

Fritz Hanson, welterweight wrestling
champion, defeated John Kilonis at Man
chester, n. H, Tuesday night, securing
two of the three falls in a hard-fought
battle. Kilonis secured the second fall
in quick time, but could not stave off
Hanson when it came to the last bout
Hanson got the first fall in % minutes
IA ~ seconds, the second went to Kill
MS Ill five minutes and 30 seconds while
he third and deciding one was credited
o the Swede in 81 minutes
The bout was a siZzlcr from the start
nd 1t ended in a great tussle, with Han
on having kilOnis i'll vce-like hold for
ully three minutes before he pinned the
'reek's shoulders to the mat. And never
lid kilonis put up harder battle than
n the final stand in the hope OF getting
pose His efforts were unavailing, how
yer, for though lighter than his oppon
mt, Hanson possessed the strength to
AIRY him through to the victory.
At times the going was very rough but
was always fast, with the lighter Han
on forcing matters all the time. H.
crowded John more than the Greek wa
ever crowded before. and to say thai
Hanson made hit with the crowd is put
ing it mildly. He gave one of the clever
est exhibitions of the graphing gam,
seen in Manchester in long time, anC
very trick known to the sport was uset
~ him. Fritz is as handy at gettlnl
deadly holds with his legs as with hi
arms, and this ability was really re
sponsible for kolonis's defeat.
