Phoenix Press Club Gets Busy Spreading Publicity for Ebert Hubbard on Wednesday Night - The Tickets Going Fast

The committee on arrangements for the Ebert Hubbard lecture which is to be given on Wednesday night at the EIks under the auspices of the Phoenix Press club, got busy yesterday with window cards and posters and as result the city was well plastered with the information that the prince of takers will be here. Every prominent show window in the city carries one or more window cards while every place of prominence that would accom- mOdate a poster has one. Mine Host Adams of the hotel that bears his name was delighted to fOrego the rules and put a poster on the cashiers window in the lobby, while Al Williams of the Ford and II. R N. Luhrs of the Com mercial granted like courtesies to the inksIingers.
 Tickets for the lecture are going fast There is a big demand for them Every member of the club. which means every reporter on the papers of the city is armed with a plentiful sup ply of tickets every morning and when he returns at night after the days work Is invariably out of tickets Reserva- tions can be made at the Central Drug store on the corner of Washington and Center streets beginning promptly at 10 o'clock this morning.
 The fact that the Phoenix press club starts its career with an attrac- ton that measures up as does the FL bert Hubbard lecture is receiving all sorts of fine comment from all classes of people in the city. The Sage of East Aurora" is known all over the country as a first class platform man One who says something entertaining, witty, and at the same time with some thing in it. There are numbers of Phoenix people who have heard him before. and who are only too anxious to hear him again That there will be a crowd at the Elks goes without say ing.

HUNDRED STRIKE BY
 JOURNEYMEN PAINTERS
Demand $4.50 per day and Eight Hours
 Work. Will Walk Out This


 It was rumOred around the city last night that the painters union of Phoc- nix at secret meeting last evening had formulated demands upon the mas ter painters for an eight hour day and $450 per day wages and presented them to the master painters.
 The further rumor followed this closely to the effect that the master painters had refused the demand and that the painters are going in their turn to refuse to return to work this morning and declare strike.
 It is stated on good authority tha this actioN on the part of the journey men painters will not seriously handi- cap any work that is now under way IS the painters union has not more than forty members, and that the mas ter painters stated that they would not be seriously inconvenenced by the ac- tion ef the journeymen Many of them are old painters themselves and they stated it is said that they would put on overalIs themselves and go to work on the jobs.
 The painters however are understood to have made all necessary arrange ments to stand pat on the position they have taken.

The real weight of the objection is against the spirit of the whole legis- lation which is regarded as distinctly discriminatory against the Japanese. While it is not alleged the treaty in terms prohibits such discrimina- ton vet the. spirit of the convention as well as general principles of in ternational laws is regarded by Ja- pan as outraged by the Webb act The mere fact that America has en- tered into treaty relations with Japan is cited as an admission of equality.

Meanwhile it is understood that both the Japanese protest and the state departments answer will be withheld from puhli- cation at present on the ground it would be injudicious to submit to the delicate question to the heated discussion of newspaper or possi- bly, mass meetings.
 Negotiations are now expected to proceed in regular fashion without further reference to what takes place in California. Upon returning to the embassy Viscount Chinda dispatched the state departments reply to his own government and it is assumed that several days may elapse before the next step is taken.
 In view of the understanding be- tween the two governments regard ing the withholding of correspond ence from publicity none of the of ficials at the White House, state de- partment or the Japanese embassy care to indicate the nature of the Japanese objections or Bryan's reply. From other sources, however, 1t is gathered that while the Japanese al- legr- technical violations of the treaty of 1911 by the California law these relate to mirror provisions such as that prohibiting Japanese from in heriting property in California

Officials here believe that this is substantially accomplish ed through the amendment of the original Webb act, at any rate if the Japanese government takes the con- trary view it will be an easy matter to test the issue in American courts.

Measure Taft Vetoed Passed Both Houses and President Wil-
 son Will Sign.

Washington, D. c., May B. The Senate today passed the sun dry civil bill carrying approprl- ations of $1i7,000,000 and the bill was sent to conference con- mittee. President Taft vetoed the bin because many riders were lacked to it, which could not be passed as separate bills and were therefore added to the regular ap- propriation measure.
 Senator poindexter then held the bill up when the Senate was about to pass it over the veto of the President, because the Wash- inglun senator wished to punish the capital police for their fall ure to protect the suffragettes who paraded here March thlrd and were .mnbbed without police interference.
 President Wilson has indicated that he would sign the bill, all though the same riders are in this bin as the one his predecessor vetoed.

NO WILD FOXES

Interior Department Agent So States in Seward--Used for
 Breeding Purposes.

Sewarh.--lI J. Chrisloi1er. special agent representing the ln-
 terior department. which has do- miniOn over the fur-bearing ani- mals of Alaska, who is in Sew ard en route to the interior. says that permits for taking live wild foxes from Alaska are not being issued by the department; that it
 is opposed to such eXportatlOn. The permits so far issued, tWen-
 ty-seven in number, apply only to the exportation of domesti- cated fnxes--that is. animals raised on fox farms on many is- lands of Alaska.
 It is true, said Mr. Christoffer. that permits are issued to inhabi- tants of Alaska to catch wild fox es for breeding purposes for es- tablishing fox farms within the domain of the territory. ... Since. his arrival here Mr.. Christoffer has. learned that a cer- tain party. 'rspr resentinss a. MT. Williams, who, is establishing. a fox farm iir Nova Scotia: is at: temptine to Secure. wild foxes for expoftation:. that he has, in fact, .lnade> etfsrs to trappeEs in the.

 Mr.. Chrisioffer:has information that this same agent had two different parties residing. n Seat tie apply f0r permits to expdrt
 Alaska foxes, and upon receipt of which they would be turned over to him. This little scheme will be blocked through the interven- ton of Mir. ChristOffer.

COMPANY LIABLE
 F0R TITANIC LOSS
Judge Holt So HoIds--Would Have to Pay $3,ooo,o0o Damage
 If Upheld.

New York. May .--Judgc Holt dismissed yesterday in the Fed eral District Court the petition of the Oceanic Steam Navigation Company, Limited (the White Star Line), for the limitation ac- cording to the American law of it's liability for losses resulting from the sinking of the Titanic on April i5, 1912. The British law, he held, must be applied to the case, and it is certain that the White Star sLinc will appeal from his decision.
 The American law would have limited the liability of the owners Euf the vessel. to about ,S96,000. The British statute will grant the claimants, even if it be shown that the accident was unavpid- able and -.tlaat;;s4ssthe aap!t;4ssst owners~had 'themseyll,N.ee9ss .e9s takksspg.. ttaksg. every piqper precaution, ab1HGt ss, ,ooo, ,ooQ.
