Governments Note Will Cover
the Whole Controversy.
JOHNSON TO SIGN JAP BILL
Decision Is Communicated to
Japanese.
Toxic Believes "FriendIy SoIu-
ton" May Be Reached.

Washington, May 15.-President VIII
son has arranged to confer with Sec
retary Bryan early tomorrow before
the cabinet meeting to draft a reply
TO the formal protest by Japan against
+he California anti-alien land bill which
Governor johnson has announced he
will sign.
The note will be submitted to the
cabinet and then delivered to the Jap
anese ambassador. Indications are the
attitude of the federal government
toward the legislation itself as well as
questions of discrimination raised py
japan will be fully defined
washington. May 15.-Governor
Johnson's decision to sign the Cali
fornia anti-alien land bill despite Jap
ans protests was unofflclally com
municated today to Viscount Chlnda,
the Japanese ambassador, as a matter
of information. The understanding Is
that Secretary Bryan may later pre-
sent Governor Johnson's answer OIL
cialIy with such comment as ne may
wish to make IN pehdlI VI the e
government. ~,
Mr.. BRYAN is in New York. He will
return in time to lay the subject pc
fore the cabinet at tom OrroW session
when an effort may be made TO reacn
a final determination on the line OF
policy for the negotiations with Japan
When the ambassador has received
Secretary BryanS formal commun1ca-
ton it will be necessary for him 10
communicate it to the foreign office at
Toxic and receive instructions for pre-
pairing a rejoinder, so that probably
there will be a weeks halt IN the
negotiations. Interest has been ex-
cited by Governor Johnson's quota
ton of that part of the California law
which appears to limit his action so
far as it recognizes japanese rights to
the existing treaty of 1911.
There is some speculation as to
whether it was intended to foreshadow
a refusal on the part of the California
authorities to tie bound by stipulation
of any treaty that may hereafter be
negotiated between the United States
and Japan that would appear to be
in conflict with the provisions of the
new law. Officials here fail to discover
any point not suggested to Secretary
Bryan when he was in Sacramento with
the probable exception of reference to
the fact that the present state legisla-
ton in terms since sanctions and even
requires the enactment of such legisla-
ton as the Webb act.
The fact that though announcing his
intention to sign the act Governor
johnson has not actually affixed his
signature is regarded here as an act of
courtesy, intended to hold the door
open to a last word from the admin

municate farther with him before the
final act of approval.
Toxic Is Optimistic.
Toxic. May 15.-The foreign office is
optimistic as to the outcome of the

ownership legislation.

official said: THE negotiations be-

Clarence Sydnor to Lansing

James Mccoy, who murdered Clarence
Sydnor in a colored pool room in the
400 block on Kansas avenue on April
5. is now in the state penitentiary
where he will serve out a ten year

to collect it. A fight resulted which
ended in the shooting of Sydnor. Then
Mccoy cleaned out the pool hall by
threa tening with his gun. When the

FIGHT LABOR BILL
Hearing on Child Labor Meas
ure in Pennsylvania.
Results in Personal Encounter
Has Passed House.

Harrisburg, Pa, May 15.-Hundreds
of manufacturers from all parts of the
state and an almost equal number of
labor leaders social workers and others
crowded the senate chamber to
argue for and against the child labor
bill, the measure designed to reduce the
hours of labor for women and the
womens minimum wage bill.
Many women were among those who
appeared in advocacy of the proposed
legislation and who pleaded for its en-
actment for humanity's sake and for
en- and children and for the sake of
more efficiency
The manufacturers and other oppon-
ents of the bill declared the measures
were impracticable and that it would
be difficult for the manufacturers to
carry out their provisions All of the
bills have passed the lower branch of
the legislature and are now before the
senate. The hearing which continued
for more than five hours came near
terminating in a physical encounter
between Henry G. Wasson chairman of
the Republican state committee, an ad-
vocate of the bills. and Joseph C.
Grundy, a manufacturer. one of the
leaders of the opposition. Wasson
claimed the manufacturer had ques-
toned his integrity and made a rush
for Grundy, declaring he would smash
him in the face" Friends, however,
stepped between them and prevented a
clash

SAY 1T is NOT A TRUST.
Oil Divorced From Other
Companies Is Claim.

Chicago, May 15.-Absolute divorce
ment of the Standard Oil company of
Indiana from all other oil companies
has been effected and the company is
not now in any sense a trust, accord
ing to L. ]. Drake, vice president of
the corporation who testified today in
the custer case brought by the state
of Missouri. The company seeks to
remain in Missouri.
Mr.. Drake, appearing before John
for the Missouri supreme court, testi-
the Standard Oil company of New Jer-
sey but when he became vice presi-
dent of the Indiana company his for
mer relations ceased. He said in 1907
his present company severed it's rela-
tions with the Republic Oil company,
and since then all relations with the
Waters-Pierce Oil company have been
ended.
Our business in Missouri and else
where is absolutely independent and
we take no dictation or suggestion
from any other company said Mr.
Drake. Should we be allowed to re-
main in Missouri we are prepared to
spend $2000,000 to extend our business
so that we may properly compete with
other companies"
The hearing was transferred to Chi
cago from Jefferson City, Mo-. be-
cause of the vailability here of the
company's records. Frank Hagerman
appeared as counsel for the company
and Attorney General Barker of Mis-
souri, for the state.

SWAYzE HAS PLAN.
County Clerk Will Adopt Logarithmic
Slide Rule for Taxes

Oscar Swayze, county clerk, has de-
cided to try out logarithmic slide rule
to facilitate the work in his office. "I'Il
order it personally and if I master its
use I'll authorize the purchase of one
of the devices for the Office" he ex-
planned.
This morning Mr.. Swayze received a
letter from L. w. Pulliam, county
clerk of Rice county, who is enthusi-
astic over the slide rule. The letter
read in part:
Il note an item in the Topeka State
Journal to the effect that your office
is thinking of installing logarithnic
slide rule for extending taxes The
last two taxrolls of Rice county have
been made entirely with the slide rule
and have been finished earlier than any
roll in the county before. Last wear

Capacity of NeOdesha Plants to
Be Tripled Soon.
PLAN A MOVE TO KANSAS
Adverse Decision in Missouri
VIII Suffice.
Purchase of $40 Acres of Land
for Refinery.

That they may triple the capacity of
their Neodesha refinery and prepare
for the removal of the Sugar creek
refinery from Missouri to the Kansas
side in event of adverse court deci-
sions on Missouri legislative enact
ments, the Standard Oil company was
today permitted by the Kansas charter
board to increase their capitalize ton
in this state from one to two million
dollars
For some months the removal of the
Sugar creek refinery to Kansas has
been contemplated by the Standard Oil
company. Only within the last few
weeks the Standard people contracted
for the purchase of $40 acres of land
adjoining a tract of Kansas soil near
their Missouri refinery In event of
adverse decisions in their cases now
pending in the Missouri supreme court,
Standard representatives have ad-
mitted that their company will with
draw from Missouri and locate their
big refinery in Kansas. The Standard
will try to remain in Missouri, it is
claimed, and their custer suit is now
being heard in Chicago. Should how
ever an custer order be issued, the
company will then be in a position to
at once move their plant to this state.
Regardless of the Missouri custer de-
cision, the Standard representatives
are quoted as declaring that they pro-
pose to at once increase the capacity of
their NeodeSha refinery to thrice its
present output. That program will en-
able them to handle practically the
company's entire Kansas-Oklahoma oil
business at the Neodesha plant and to
minimize the cost of refining.
Application for an increase in the
capitalization of the Standard was ap-
proved by the charter board which
granted the company the right to issue
10000 shares of additional stock with
a par value of s110 share The reso-
luton of the Standard representatives
asking for an increase of the Kansas
capital, was adopted at a meeting in
Neodesha "Wednesday afternoon.

San Francisco, May 15.-That he

to the aviators, the trip over the At

the course to be followed will begin
at Newfoundland and end upon the
rocky shores of Ireland a distance of
1920 miles. Captain Martin said he

miles an hour. He expects to make
the passage in 20 hours and receive
