WILSON and
BRYAN ARE
TO CONFER
Will Formulate Reply to
Japan
Note Will Be Submitted to the
Cabinet
Count Chinda VIII Send Same
to Tokyo


Washington, May 15.-Prssident
Wilson has arranged to confer with
Secretary Bryan early tomorrow be-
fore the cabinet meeting to draft re-
ply to the formal protest Of Japan
against the California anti-alien land
bill, which Governor Johnson has an
nounced he will sign.
The note will be submitted to the
cabinet and then delivered to the Jap
anese ambassador to give the indica-
ton of the attitude of the federal gov
ernment toward the legislation itself,
as well as the questions of discrimin-
alton raised by Japan which will be
fully defined.
The governors decision to sign the
bill despite Japan's protests was unof-
ficially communicated to Vi5count
Chinda, the Japanese ambassador, as a
matter of information.
II When the ambassador receives Sec
retary Bryan's formal communication
it will be necessary for him to COM
municate it to the foreign office at
Toxic and receive instructions for pre-
pairing a rejoinder, SO probably a week
will elapse before the negotiations
move another step.
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 the last word from the admin
istration.

Minority Leader Mann is having a
hard time finding committeeships for

Washington. The assignments will
be announced in about three weeks.
While the list as framed by the minor

understood, be transferred to the COM
mittee on agriculture from the com 4

lands. 1t is not at all unlikely that he
will get the public lands assignment,
although there is no certainty about
this. Representative Young Is in the
same boat as other new members. In
view of the fact. however, THAI there
will be u vacancy on the committee

signs. which appeal to or suggest

Washington, May 15.-When the
tariff bill came up in the senate there
was wrangle over whether it or
Senator Kern's resolution for the in
vestigation Of the West Virginia coal
strike situation should have the right
of way. Mr.. Kern finally agreed to
defer his resolution until 8 O'clock. 4
The agreement to vote on the at1es-
ton OF public hearings after Ave
hours debate was about to be made
by unanimous consent when Sen.
William Alden Smith blocked it by
saying the attitude of the other side
of the chamber is SO arbitrary in this
matter that I do not feel it calls for
any generosity from this side
The debate was then resumed on the
Penrose-La Toilette amendment.
The democratic senator's tried again
for an agreement with the republicans
for a vote on the motion to refer the
tariff bill to the finance committee
with the Penrose- La Toilette amend
ment directing public hearings.
Chairman Simmons is anxious to
have the bill referred so the commit.
teee can plan for definite action on the
schedules and have the bill ready to
report to the senate by June 1. Near
ly week has passed without any
progress in the senate.
