WILSON HAS
NOFEAR Of
SITUATION
Feels Relations With Japan
Not Serious
Says Conferences Have Been
.... Very Friendly =
Johnson's Heed Of Bryan's
Appeal Noticed q

Washington, May 12.-President Will
son believes negotiations between ia
pan and the United States over the
alien land legislation in California are
not in an alarming stage but that the
Interchange of views thus far has been
along frank and friendly lines calcu-
lated to remove the appearance of dis
elimination against the Japanese sub
+5ects.
sMThe president, in discussing the sub
ject informally, took the position that
the Webb bill will not violate the
treaty between Japan and the United
States. He intimated Japan's protest
was not founded upon claim that
the treaty will be broken, but upon
the feeling that there is an effort to
discriminate against the Japanese on
the ground of alleged ineligibility to
citizenship.
The president revealed the fact that
the question of naturalization had not
entered into discussion with the jap
anese ambassa dor, but that, underly-
ing the bill, it was realized the federal
courts had not decided the question Of
eligibility.
The president endeavored to make
plain that the greatest frankness pre-
Ndll6u between Ine TWO governments
even to the abandonment Of many dip
lomatic formalities.
.- johnson Delays.
The fact that Secretary Bryan ad-
dressed his appeal to Governor John
son of California to veto the California
anti-alien land law and inasmuch as
the governor unofficially declared his
purpose to sign the bill as passed by
the legislature, was taken in official
circles here as indicating either that
some powerful influence had been
brought to bear upon the governor in
the interest of delay, or more probably
that the Wilson administration is per-
fecting the record.
In this action may be a double pur-
pose. First, to satisfy Japan, federal
government has all it can do to pre-
vent legislation under the constitu-
tiona1 limitations, and secondly, to
place upofa thet< state authorities OF
California the responsibility Of any
serious outcome of the alien land
legislation.
AS the legislature is ending its session
Governor Johnson's reply is expected
here soon.

Washington, May 12.-Tariff revision
fight shifted from house to be renewed
in the senate tomorrow when the I'm
derwood bill comes up for reference

The house met to dispose of what

of adjourning. almost imm mediately for
three days, the beginning of regular
adjournments for similar periods until
June.
The president does not expect the
tariff bill to be amended in any import

end is in sight he probably will make
known his views on the currency this
week.
The house was in session six min
utes. Even minor legislation failed to
materialize' and the series of three
days adjournments began.

Aroused PepuIace Threatened LynchiDg But Were Kept

Minot, n. D., May 12.-While lying in
an unused water barrel into which she
had crawled in the effort to hide her
self from her infuriated husband with
whom she had quarreled a few mo-
mcnts before, Mrs. Katie Staff was

Staff surrendered to the authorities.
He is now confined in the Ward coun-
ty Jail.
The couple quarreled Immediately
after breakfast and the husband left
the house in a rage for the barn, where
he kept rife. The wife in a frenzy
of fear Crawled through a window and
sought a place to hide, saw the barrel
standing near the side of the house,
dragged it to the edge of plowed field
about fifty feet away, placing it on it's
side with the bottom or the closed end
toward the house. She crawled in
head first.
The husband returned to the house
with the rifle and failing to find her in

Every one of the mothers and
fathers, the grandmothers and
grandfathers of today, who en-
joyed the Gilbert and Sullivan
operas in their vogue might show
his appreciation of them by send
ing a garland for the grave of
Mrs. D'Oyley Carte, who has just
died in London. Without her
there might have been little Of the
great musical combination which
entertained millions in the old
world and the new.
One of those who knew the in
side of theatrical matters in Lon
don in the days Of Gilbert and
Sullivan said on her death: Hers
was the genius that kept these
men together and smoothed out
the difficulties that arose from
time to time"
She began as an actress with
Charles Wyndham, but her stage
career was short. She married o.
Oyley Carte, and very soon built
his business up far beyond what
it was. She superintended the
production of the Gilbert and Sui
livan operas, and when they cross
ed to the United States she made
trips here to sec that they were
properly staged. Later she ar
ranged lecture tours for Archibald
Forbes, Sir Henry M. Stanley,
Matthew Arnold, Oscar Wilde, and
many others. When she became
prosperous she supported many
old ployers and, said little about it.
On her husbands death, in 1901,
he left her the whole business,
then appraised at $1,200,O00.

The bullet entered the womans
body just below the right shoulder
and emerged above the left hip.
The dead body was discovered a few
minutes later. The eldest daughter,
Annie, aged II years. went to search
for her.
Staff claims he did not know his
wife was in the barrel. He says he
was afraid the children might take
the gun which was loaded and get
hurt, so he fired 1t off to be on the
safe side. He denied there was a
quarrel in the morning, but his chill
dren contradict. The neighbors claim
he has made several previous attempts
to shoot her and the children, say the
parents quarreled frequently and also
abused them.
Lynehine Averted.
Staff narrowly escaped lynching,
Paul Pitner and a party of foreigners
living in that vicinity having organized.
Deputy Sheriff Dougherty, however,
prevented trouble.
There are six children in the family

youngest 8 months. An inquest is

Disagreed

arlcc
and Cummias Are the
Leaders

Chicago, May 12.-The first step to-
ward the "reuniting of the republican
party was taken at conference of
the republican United States senator's
and other leaders Of the party here.
The conference decided to call upon
the republican national committee at
it's meeting scheduled for May "a at
Washington to issue a call for a ma
tional convention this year to re-or-
ganize the party "aIong progressive
lines.
Several leaders agreed to the pro-
posed convention and change basis
of representation in future conven-
tions and to make other radical
changes SO the party will stand for
constructive progressive activities in
the affairs of the government"
Answering the question whether to
"reuntte the party" meant that those
who joined the progressive party
would be ased to come back, Senator
Cummins said the convention will be
"sort of a Lords supper and all those
who believed might partake."
The progressive republican leaders
of ten states are here today to draft
the preliminary plans for organizing
the party. They decide whether the
convention will assume the attitude to
be taken toward the national commits
etee is what is best to rally and unite
the forces of republicanism.
The statesmen were strengthened by
the arrival of former Governor HadleM
of Missouri, and Senator Works teIe-
graphed he hoped he would reach here
late today for the session
Senator Borah of Idaho opposed the
calling of a. republican national con-
ference and in his stand on the ulles-
ton yesterday, beginning a. lengthy
discussion, he asserted 1t would be
useless to attempt to reorganize the
party from the top down as any con-
vention that will be held now will be
controlled by the same men i'm power
as late as last June.
He centered his discussion a second
time when he advanced a. plan for the
direct election of delegates to nation
al conventions, standing practically
alone on that issue.
In attendance is Senator Gronna OF
North Dakota, who is said to have the

A town is like city, is no place to foster jealousies and nourish contentious. All should learn to know that whatever will conduce to the welfare of town cannot in- iure her citizens. The disposition made manifest by her citizens point to her downfall or her rise. The character of the people make the town, not her structures, tow ering houses, domes and monu- ments, and when people lose in- terest in the promotion of their town they need not hope to thrive. Harmony among the people of a community is indicative of its pro- gress. Farmers cannot be at var lance with one another and pros. per; merchants cannot, churches cannot, nor can any similar organ ization or community.
