peaceable means.
THE whole OF Japan-the government.

bodies-ls unanimously endeavoring to
solve this California question peacefully"
said Mr. Ebara. land it seems TO me the
japanese government is fully competent
to settle this difficulty satisfactorily.
There is absolutely no need for you TO
Pack up your things TO go back to Japan

California is only one part OF this
great country, after all. Fortunately for
you. YOU have the sympathy of the fed
eral government and Of a greater part OF
the citizens of this country. Even in Call
fornia you have a great many supporters
and sympathzers.
Il have always admired the America an
people for their sense of justice and fair
play. With these qualities in mind you
must wait patiently. Attend 10 your work
and business as usual. without any fear"

Washington. May 22.-Much concern
was expressed by the President over
the reported serious illness Of the En-

receipt of the report the President sent
q personal cable message to the En-
neror. The American Charge at Toxic

peror is conservative ruler and
realizes the Importance of maintaining
cordial relations with the United
States. and for that reason sincere
anxiety is felt in administration circles.
President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan continue 10 express optimism
over the outcome of the diplomatic
negotiations. but. as indicated in these
dispatches and confirmed by the press
reports from Toxic. the japanese gov
eminent insists that the commercial
treaty of 1911 is violated by the Webb
Bloodgood bill, and expects the United
States 10 take cogniZance Of that con-
tention. rather than cOmplicate the
negotiations by injecting the state

erendum or judicial action by Japan to
nullify the act.
Issue Clearly Defined.
As has been consistently maintained
in these dispatches. there is now a
clearly defined issue on the question or
whether the treaty has been violated,
and il is this issue that the japanese
government will force, probably TO the
point OF lflNbhiUS tiit az 'Aei 90 NN'f
yention OF 1905. Secretary Bryan is
sensitive on the subject Of arbitration,
and refuses to discuss the possibilities
of the negotiations reaching the stage
where an appeal for arbitration would
seem 10 be the next logical step. On
the other hand. Japan intends TO take
every advantage guaranteed by the
arbitration convention. and those best
informed believe that ultimately the
United States Will face the necessity
either of making an effort TO arbitrate
the dispute or OF refusing to carry the
controversy to The Hague.

Johnson today would venture no

In addition to the removal, the st.

BET BY MACHINERY
AT PIMLICO RACES

Visitors to Pimlico at the present
meeting are betting by machinery or
not at all. The pari-mutuel machines
have been installed in accordance
with the orders of the Racing Com
mission of Baltimore county. and the
old-time bookmaker is no more-as
far as Pimlico is concerned.
Some bookmakers and their en-
ployes may get jobs at the machines,
as two men are required for each
apparatus. and there is a separate
machine for straight place and show
bets. The adopting of the machines
is a sad blow to the bookmakers,
but they have suffered in Ken
tucky. where there is a Statewide law
compelling the use of the parimutuel
system at all race tracks.
Most of the race-track men from
other cities who have been staying In
Baltimore during the Havre re Grace
meet are remaining for the Pimlico
season, and consequently the hotels
are pretty well filled.
Just how the bookmakers, who have
run their business in Baltimore, and
in the suburbs under cover, will han.
die the Pimlico meeting with machine
made odds is a question that the gem
eral public knows little about But
they are not going out of business and
are expected to find a profitable way
of handling all the business that
comes their way.
