WASHINGTON, May 21-Reassuring
advices reached the state department
from Japan late today indicating that
the American reply to the protest
against the California land Lave was
received in good spirit by the Japanese
government and that the situation had
taken on much more favorable ap-
pearance than at any time since the
negotiations began. Offcials here have
admitted their satisfaction over the
turn of events.
The dispatches related also that the
Japanese government realized fully
the difficulties under which the Wash
ington administration had labored in
handling this situation. understanding
United States and the powers Of legis-
lation held by California.
NO PREDICTION Of STEPS
Today's adviees were of a prelimi-
nary character and made no predic-
tion of ensuing steps, but In general
they reflected a favorable view in
Toyko of the American note replying
to Japan's protest
President Wilson, who had no small
part in the writing of the note. is said
to have described in most compliment
tary terms what he believed to be the
real feeling of the majority OF the
American people toward Japan. The
communication. it is said. pointed to
California, only a part of California,
too as having given evidence of a
discriminatory disposition. and insisted
that the United States as a whole ad-
mired the progress that Japan had
made in the last half century. re-
spected the achievements of the Japa-
nese people, and was sincerely anxious
to show that it regarded Japan on a
basis of equality with all other powers
and nations.
\ DEALS WITH PEOPLES SPIRIT
The note was about 1000 words long
and dealt chiefly with the spirit of the
American people toward Japan, making
little reference, it is understood. to the
technicalities OF the new law or the
treaty. but discussing Japan's conten-
ton that the California agitation was
in reality an act of unfriendliness and
discrimination toward the japanese.
ofcials here were not in the least
opposed to publication of the document,
but decision on the point was left with
the Tokyo government.
While the situation tonight was re-
garded as satisfactory in official quar-
ters. the japanese answer was awaited
with keen interest. Officials generally,
however, were inclined to hope that the
acute stage in the negotiations had
passed.
President Wilson is determined that
no lingo statements by members of
congress shall further complicate the
situation between this country and
Japan. if he can help it. He sent for
Representative Sisson of Mississippi
this morning and appealed to him to
use guarded terms in the speech he
Will make on alien land ownership
laws in the house On Friday. Mr. Sis
son promised TO do this.

 BOAT FOR TARGET.

 LiVes-Wiil Not Talk.

Washington, April 28.-A party of congressman, prospective members or the house committee on naval affairs, went down to Chesapeake bay, 40 miles below Indian Head, to witness target practice at the proving grounds at Indian Head. The Tallahassee, with its 12-inch guns, which shoot shells weighing $50 pounds each, was to do the firing for the benefit of the congressional party, which was com posed of Senator Miles Poindexter of Washington, Senator N. P. Bryan of Florida, Representatives Frank Bu- chanan and Martin D. Foster of Hi nois, Richmond Pearson Hobson of Alabama, A. w. Gregg of Texas, l.. F. Padgett of Tennessee, E. R. Bathrick of Ohio, s. A. Witherspoon of Misss sippi, Ernest w. Roberts of Massachu- settts and others. The entire party went down the river in the Dolphin.
 Rear Admiral N. C. Twining, chief of the bureau of ordnance, was in command of the guide boat between  the target and the congressional party The atmosphere was murky and the Tallahassee, seven miles from the Dolphin, mistook that boat for the target and fired
 A loud report and a flash of light followed and an S50-pound shell went whiZzing just above the distinguished spectators. Then another passed near.
 My God!' shouted the commander Of the Dolphin, they are shooting at us"
 The wireless operator On the Dol phin started an IS o s" call.
 It required but a minute for the congressman to realize that they had escaped sudden death by few feet. The shell had brushed the awning of the Dolphin and fallen into the water 100 feet away.
 An investigation of the Leartragedy will be made. None of the congress men will discuss the affair.

washington. April 2s.-A compre- ,orsive analysis of the income tax by panresentative Hull of Tennessee, It's .n,hor featured the general confer snce on the tariff in the house. Other ,rookers were on the program for dis ,nssion of the tariff itself.
 upl, replied to numerous comments rror nroyisions of the income tax. TO Ina suggestion that it is class legis. ,otion and a distinction between citi- ,ens of large means and those with m, particular means, he answered that it's purpose was to reach for tax s,on those who have escaped taxes and who are most able to bear them. ue declared the masses of the people were paying most of the $312,OOO,O0O tariff taxes and most of the state and local taxes, except in few states.
 "Where, then he asked, lis the in- iustice of reuQiriug the receivers of incomes of more than S4,000 to.equal- llze in some measure these tax bur lens by contributing less than $l00,- COOOO0 to the federal treasury" He denied that there was any sectional ism in the effects of the tax.
 Segregation and Sectionalism.
 Fl would be mOnstrous," he said, pto say that the receivers of great in comes, drawn from every section of the country, may segregate themselves and upon the plea of segregation or seetionalism, successfully exempt their entire wealth from taxation. They should invoke the plea of segregation and not seCtionalism,"

tive, responsive to changes in rates. and cheap of collection. No honest taxpayer had anything to fear, he said. Against the assertion that the tax was upon thrift, industry and profits, Hull replied that the tariff was tax upon consumption want and even poverty and misery, and added that the pro posed income tax was measured by net profits or gains and not imposed upon gross income nor capital nor other property. He characterized the income tax as the outgrowth of cen turies of tax legislation throughout the world.
 Vicious Customs Taxation.
 Victims of our intangible and in visible tariff taxes with all their feat ures of spoliation and plumber, will welcome the proposed tax; the re- ceivers of large incomes and owners of great wealth should prepare to ac- cept it as permanent tax, for it has come to stay. It's effect will be to displace about s70 0,O00OoO derived from vicious customs house taxation to the end that this country may have in the future justice in taxation, fexibility and stability of revenue and economy in expenditures"
 Hull said he had received from pol icy holders of mutual insurance con- panies circular letters issued by the companies. designed to frighten them into the belief that the proposed one per cent tax upon the net incomes of the companies would do the policy holders injury and carrying yelled threats to increase the premiums.
 These companies said Hull, well know there is no purpose to tax the proceeds of life insurance policies nor the return of any amount of the prin- clpal invested in insurance during life for business purposes, but only the gains and profits that arise from the same. The tax would not in the least increase the amount of the premiums under any theory of fair dealing"

Atrocities Spur Foes On.

London. July 19.-Greece, Servia and Roumania will attempt to crush Bulgaria. According to Reuter- dis match received here from Saloniki, these three powers have agreed upon concerted operations against the forces of Czar Ferdinand.
 They have decided that an armistice will not be accepted, and that peace terms will be drawn only at Sofia. The latest reports declare that the Greek. Serb and Roumanian armies, as we'll as the Ottoman forces are actively closing in on the Bulgarians despite protestations from the powers.
 Driven to desperation by the reports of horrible atrocities of the Bulgar- ians, it is now believed there will be no stopping of the Greek and Servian forces.
 The Turkish troops continue their advance, and a report from Constanti- nople declares that before retreating from Hairebolu the Bulgarians burned the homes of $50 Mussulmans. Many of these noncombatants were caught in their houses and incinerated. 9th CTS escaped with horrible burns, only to die within few hours.

They Objected to Her AlIeoed Mis- conduct With Brother-in-Law,

Waukegan, H., July 19.-Swearine that he will put everyone implicated in the affair behind the bars, John H. Richardson, crippled storekeeper at Nolo, H., sought warrants for the ar rest of 50 women who kidnapped his wife, rode her on a rail through the main street of the town, and then dumped her in a mud hole.
 They are witches" screamed the invalid merchant from his wheel chair, every one of them. There was nothing wrong between my wife and my brother-in-law. We were all juA a little family. They've driven her away from me for good"
 News of the action of the women vigilantes" was guarded as a secret in the little village two days. It be- came known when Richardson came to Waukegan, placed a $500 mort gage on his store and gave the money to his wife, who boarded a train for Chicago. His brother-in-law, Will Dun hill, has left Volo and his where abouts is unknown.
 The strongest woman in the village was selected captain" of the vigi- lantes. She bounced upon Mrs. Rich ardson when she was alone in her home and dragged her to the crowd of women outside.
 The women placed the storekeeper's wife on a fence rail. Some of her clothes were stripped from her body and she was pelted with mud and stones. Then, jeering and screaming the women carried her a quarter of a mile through the principal street and dumped her in partially dried pond and ordered her to leave town.

HUERTA SURPRISES WASHING TON WHEN HE SENDS AIDE
 TO JAPAN.
PRESIDENCY IS IN BALANCE
Soldier Will Be Absent During Cam paign, and Incumbent Will Be Chosen-May Force United
 States Recognition.

Washington, July 19-Apparent elimination of Gen. Felix Diaz from Mexican politics was the feature in Mexican news of great interest to of- ficials. His departure from the capi- tai on a special mission to Japan tenn porarily removes what officials here always have considered a source of danger in Mexican affairs.
 That Diaz apparently should re- move himself from politics by accept ing the Japanese mission requiring his absence during the prediction period was received with surprise here. It was taken to mean that Huerta will ask reelection in October and this foreshadows his selection, it was be- ieved here
 Such contingency again would put the United States in a dilemma over recognition. Huerta barely can con ceal his enmity toward the United States, and yet this government prob ably would be forced to recognize him if he were elected, because of the pol icy to recognize an administration where there has been an open ballot.
 Secretary Bryan, back from a chau. tauqua lecture at Mountain Lake Park, had lengthy conference with President Wilson prior to the cabinet meeting He refused fiaAy to discuss either the Mexican situation or his lec- turing.
