ANSWER TO JAPAN
WILL Be DELAYED
Bryan Announces That Note Is
Held Up, After Conference
With Ambassador.

Subordinate officials in the State De-
partment and others who have been
following closely the Interchange of
views between this country and Japan
over the California anti-alien land legis-
lation, are regarding as significant
Secretary Bryan's announcement that
the delivery of Americas reply to the
Japanese note may be delayed until
next week.
1t is believed that the postponement
means that Ambassador Chinda. at his
conference yesterday with Mr. Bryan,
indicated that the note, as prepared by
the Secretary of State. would not prove
altogether satisfactory to the Japanese
government.
Two days ago Secretary Bryan an
nos,nced that the note would be deliv-
cred probably before the end of the
present week. Yesterday, much to the
surprise of many in the department.
Ambassador Chinda called on Secretary
Bryan. and for an hour and a quarter

DEPARTMENT NOT TO
DROP MELLEN'S CASE
Whether New Haven Head Will
Face Trial in October De-
pends on Report.

Whether Charles S. Mellen, president
OF the New York, New Haven and Hart
ford, will be brought to trial in New
York in October on the indictment al
ready found against him, depends on
the report of the general New Haven
situation made to Attorney General Nc
Reynolds by T. S. Gregory, special as
sistant to the Attorney General.
In the ordinary course of events. Mr..
Mellen and two other railroad officials
would face jury this fall under the
indictments which charge them with
having violated the Sherman act in a
New Haven-Grand Trunk rate COM

Trunk, and Alfred W. Smithers, chair
man of its board of directors
Department To Go Slow.
But according to the Attorney Cen
eral the New England transportation
question is such a big one. with so
many ramifications, and its solution is
so important to all the citizens of New
England. that the Department of Jus
tice will not act hastily in making up
its mind to go ahead with the criminal
prosecution of Mellen, Chamberlain, and
Smithers.
To afford relief to the New England
ers is, or at least should be, more i'm
portant than to try to put Mellen in
Jail. according to Mr.. McReynolds'
statement.
This does not mean. 1t is declared.
that the department has the slightest
intention of abandoning the prosecution
OF the three men, but il may be deemed
advisable TO take other action first.
In the meantime no decision has been
reached, Mr.. McReynolds said fatty.
Has Plenty of Evidence.
1t is known that the department has
at hand plenty of evidence for the crimi-
nal prosecution. Jesse c. Adkins. As
sistant Attorney General. has conduct
ed an investigation since the finding of
the indictments December % last, and
testimony not presented to the grand
jury will be given the trial jury.
II convicted Mr.. Mellen will face
year in prison. The penalty is a year
o. 5000 fine or both. Aside from the
prominence of the men concerned. the
prosecution when II does take place
will be followed with special interest TO

Sherman act can be enforced. In th,,
case of the Chicago beef packers and
others acquittal followed similar efforts
to convict.

the two were closeted In the Secretaryis
private office. going over all the fea-
lures of this country's formal reply.
At whose instance the conference was
arranged cannot be determined. Ac-
cording to Secretary Bryan, Il was
mutually agreed upon,'' but the curious
fact remains that the Secretary, before
delivering the note formally to the
Japanese government, discussed its
features with the ambassador. and then
announced that there may be a delay
in It's delivery.
In short. 1t would seem that, before
delivering the note, the Secretary first
wanted to find out II 1t would be salts

sador that u would not in all its par
