After two days of public hearings

Mitchell in Reply to Attack

NEW YORK. Oct. 16.--John Pur-
roy Mitchell when asked what he had
to say about the attack upon him
made Monday in the house Of repre-
sentatives by Representative Fitzger
aid, Of Brooklyn. said:

gerald is simply Tammany Hall In

Gaynor. cast lots on the garments of
the city at Delmonicos, and selected
for spolls in this campaign. am not
surprised to learn that he made an
unsuccessful attempt TO persuade his
colleagues in the house that Tam
many Hall is the Democratic party
In New York.
Fitzgerald, who is nothing more
nor less than McCooey's rubber stamp,
must attempt 10 find some Justification

the Democratic party in Washington.
He represents Tammany Hall. and the

END CALIFORNIA
LAWS DISCUSSION
Argument Between Japan and
United States Practically
Abandoned.
Both Governments Decide it is
Useless for Them to Argue
Matter Further Proposal for
New Treaty.

WASHINGTON. Oct. le.--Argu-
mentative discussion OF the California
alien land law controversy has been
practically abandoned by the govern
ments of Japan and the United States.
The understanding. according to In
timations In officials quarters today,
Is that both governments have con-
Guided that 1t Ia useless for Them to
argue the matter further on the basis
OF Interpretation of the provisions OF
the American j japanese treaty of 1911,
on which the Japanese based their
protest against the California act
aimed to prevent Japanese from
owning farm lands in that State.
The legal phases of the contro-
versy have been discussed exhaustiveiy
IN the exchange of notes In the last
five months. The arguments of each
side have been met with rebuttals
from the other side, with the net re-
suit that the matter stands exaely
where Ii did at the outset.
Basis of Discussion.
The discussion, II is understood.
will henceforth center upon the Jap
anese proposal of new treaty in
which their subjects resident In the
United States shall be granted the
right Of owning land in this coun-
try.
The direct issue raised by Japan
in her request for a settlement by
means OF a new treaty. has thus far
been avoided by this government. The
negotiation of such a treaty would
in effect invalidate the California law
and Californians and other senators
never would consent to this. On the
other hand, a direct refusal would
be MOST Irritating to Japan. and en-
harrassing to this government. Japan
is now awaiting a reply to the note
last delivered by Ambassador Chinda.

canal while an argument not officially
mentioned for publication is great

means to the Improvement Of the
naval situation of the United States

New Anti-Japan Movement.
Another development which Wash
ingron is watching with interest Is
the anti-Japanese movement in Brit
18Th Columbia. The provincial govern
ment has gone so far as to take the
matter up with the imperial British
government, and has served notice
that the citizens of British Columbia

by the Japanese.

Eager auditors Of the Overlooking

Of several weeks ago "as Chief Judge

wrong. Judge Cullen was among the
eighteen who thought the governor

had been proved gntitless, but Tor the
reason that he should not have been
impeached for conduct that took place
before he entered Office. Judge Cullen
took the same stand as 10 article 2

A. T. Stewart knew the history OF all

OF the fur trade in America at his fin

Only one of them exhibited more than

officers were little impressed, and II was
a great surprise for me to find myself
instructing a French officer In some OF
the most interesting military annals Of
his own country.
The lesson OF this incident seems TO me
to have a universal application. These
men undoubtedly know well the teehni-
calities of their trade: they are good
officers; they would lead their men on
desperate charge and win medals for
bravery they know how TO handle small
