WOULD MAKE STATE
OFFICIALS ANSWER

Washington. May 1a.-President
Wilson believes the negotiations be-
tween Japan 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 along frank and friend
~ lines are calculated to remove tho
appearance Of discrimination against
the Japanese subjects.
Ihe president, IN discussing the snh-
!sct lmLormaliy. took the position that
the Webb bill does not violate the
treaty between Japan and the iJnitad
states. He intimated that Japan's
protest Is not founded upon tho claim
tnat the treaty will be broken but ur,on
the feeling that there is an effort to
discriminate against Japan on the
ground Of alleged inability to citizen
snip. The president revealed that
aues.ion OF naturalization has not en-
iereo INTO the discussion with the
Japanese ambassador, but that. un-
DERIVING the bill it was realized that
the FEDERAL courts had not decided the
question Of eligability.
The president endeavored to make
plain that the greatest frankness pre-
vailed between the two governments.
even to the abandonment Of many
diplomatic formalities.
Put Responsibility on State Officials.
The fact that Secretary Bryan ad-
dressed an appeal to Governor John
son OF California to veto the California
anti-alien land law. inasmuch as the
governor unof11cially declared his pur-
pose to sign the bill as it passed the
legislature is taken in official circles
here as indicating either that some
powerful influence has been brought
to bear with the governor in the In
terest of delay, or on the other hand,
more probably. that the Wilson ad-
ministration is perfecting its record.
In this action may be double pur-
pose. First. to satisfy Japan that the
federal government has done all 1t can
to prevent legislation under constitu-
tional limitations. and secondly, to
place upon the state authorities Of
California the responsibility Of any
serious outcome of the alien land leg
tslation. As the legislature Is nearing
the end Of the session, Johnson's re-
ply is expected here soon.>

old CLAIMS ARE
TO Be TAKEN Up
United States and Great
Britain will Begin Cleaning
of the Diplomatic Slate.

Washington, May 12.-Great Britain
! clean the diplomatic slate Tuesday,
when the international tribunal for
the arbitration of outstanding pecun-
iary claims between the two nations
will hold its first meeting here under
the presidency of Henri x. Fromageot
OF France. This tribunal, created by
a special agreement negotiated by for
mer Ambassador James Bryce and for
mer Secretary of state P. C. Knox,
in 1900 will judicially settle the claims
of private persons Of the two nations,
some of them dating back to the war
of 1872. There has been no judicial
settlement of any such claims since
1853.
Will Relieve Department..
The settlement of the large num-
Der of accumulated cases will relieve
the American state department and
the British foreign Office of the neces-
sity of presenting the demands which
each is constantly being urged to
press upon the other on behalf of it's
claimants. The claims listed for hear
ing at the opening session of the tri-
bunal are chiefly those in effort of or
American fishing vessels and Canadian
Whaling. Contracts in Yukan terri

other subjects.
The tribunal consists of, besides
President Fromageot, the national ar
bitrators. Sir Charles Fitzpatrick, chief
justice of Canada and Chandler p.

ments are represented by c. J. p.

States. The claims will be argued on
behalf of the United States by Reu-
ben Clark, Jr.. former solicitor of the
state department.. Arthur p. McKin-
stry H. H. d. Peirce and Charles r.
Wilson and on behalf Of Great Britain
by r. L. Newcombe, Canadian deputy
minister of justice and other British
counsel. The joint secretaries of the
tribunal are Robert A. Young for the
United States and A. c. Kerr Of the
British embassy.
Both Must Consent.
BY the special agreement OF 1910
which created the tribunal all claims
to be heard must be included in tina

customary agreement as to the arbi-

Chicago, May l2:-Progressiv re-
publican leaders Of ten states are here
today to draft preliminary plans for
the reorganization Of the party. They
will decide whether a convention will
be held soon, the attitude to be taken
toward the national committee. and
what is best to rally and unite the
forces of republicanism. The states

of former Governor Hadley of Missou-
ri, and Senator Works telegraphed
that he hoped to reach here late today
for the session.

to the calling of a republican confer
ence. and made his stand on the ques.
ton yesterday, beginning a lengthy
discussion. He asserted that 1t would
be useless to attempt to reorganize tho

plan for the direct election of dele
gates to the national convention,
standing practically alone on the is-
sue. .....

Latest Report from Jamaica.


Kingston, Jamaica, May 12.-News
received here by mail from Haiti Is to
the effect that President Tancrede
Auguste died from poison which was
administered in his food. The other

Seventeen persons were killed by

The followers Of former President

men. and serious developments are
expected.
