JAPANESE REPLYIS
EXPECTED THIS WEEK
May Request Amendment of
Naturalization Laws as
Solution of Issue

Washington, May 31.-Japans rejoinder
to Secretary Bryans reply to the Japan
ese protest against the California alien
land legislation will be submitted to the
state department early next week, ac-
cording to present plans. This was made
known today without suggestion al to
probable contents.
Notwithstanding pressure from certain
quarters at home, however, it is regarded
as doubtful that the japanese embassy
has concluded to turn to request for
amendment of the American naturaliza-
ton laws as solution of the present
issue.
The successful treatment by the Ca
madam parliament of a complaint from
British Columbia of the competition of
Japanese has attracted the attention OF
the negotiators of both sides in this coun-
try. AS the underlying principles of the
Canadian legislation Is separation of the
two races in the interest of permanent
peace, to be attained through absolute ex-
dent classes, it was suggested today that
similar remedy might be found to fit
the present issue in America.
Indications point to a judicial test of
the California land law as soon as pos
le after August 10, when 1t wf1l go into
* ration.

PLAN TO FIGHT FOR
DISMISSAL OF ONE
FRISCO RECEIVER
Legal Proceedings Expected
to Be Begun Early This
Week-Investors Are
Indignant

New York, May I-Members of the in
had conference today with Frederick ".
Lehman, their counsel, to determine a
plan of action in a fight to bring about
the dismissal of at least one of the receiy-
ers appointed for the st. Louis and San
Francisco railroad and the substitution
of man to represent the interests of the
bondholders. 1t was expected that Mr..
Lehman would leave today or tomorrow
for St. Louis, where the receivers now in
charge of the road were appointed and
that legal proceedings would be begun
early next week.
James Speyer has cancelled an intend
ed trip to Europe and will remain here to
look after the interests of the holders of
the $65,0o0,000 Frisco bonds which Speyer
& Co. fioated and for whom, it is said
on behalf of the firm, it feels respon-
sibility.
Dispatches from Paris say that French
investors in the bonds are very indignant
that the receivers should have been ap-
pointed without consulting the bondhold-
ers of the road and proposed to send rep
resentatives to this country to follow the
reorganization proceedings.
The fact that Speyer & Co. issued a
statement. stating that they were mot
consulted in the appointment of the re-
ceivers. both of whom are officials of
the road has brought about what is char
acterized in Wall street as open warfare
between the firm and B. f, Yoakum
president of the road, and it is pre-
dicted that the coming legal contest will
amount virtually to a fight to control the
Frisco.

Washington, May s1.-"Make the re-

following week, and that the revised
measure would be reported to the Senate

Senator Holle Smith of Georgia said
that the Senate should vote on the Lii in

to discuss the bill working, and we will
keep at work ourselves from the very
beginning said the senator. 1--WE Will

II. G. Preston, of Mitchell, chairman

future On the return of the county
auditors to their homes this same in.
formation will be given to the TO xn-
ship ASSESSOR, who are to be guided in
their work.
After four years of effort TO secure
the appointmnt of a tax commission,
it was finally accomplished at the re-
cent session, and in his address to the
legislative body Gov. Byrne set forth
the fact that there was an unjust
method of assessment in this state,
wherin the man with the little home
and a limited amount of tangible or
visible property contributed literally
in the payment of taxes, while those
of large means escaped paying any
where near their proportionate share,
and that various forms of intangible
property continued to practically es.
cape taxation.
