JAPAN AGREES TO
TREATY EXTENSION
Secretary Bryan Also Believes
That English Pact Will
Be Renewed.

As an indication that the negotiations
between the United States and Japan
over the California land legislation are
progressing favorably, Secretary of
State Bryan today announced that
Japan had agreed to a five-year ex-
tension of the general arbitration treaty
between the two countries. which ex-
pires August q.
Secretary Bryan took occasion while
discussing the Japanese treaty to de-
clare emphatically his belief that not
only the Japanese treaty. but the Great
Britain treaty extension would be rati-
fed by the Senate.
The British treaty renewal was
brought before the Senate recently. but
Senator Chamberlain and others object
ed so strenuously to the provisions af-
fecting the question of Panama canal
tolls that the treaty was withdrawn
from the Senate and no further steps
were taken to obtain Senate ratifica-
ton.
Since that time 1t has been declared
that there was growing opposition in
the Senate to ratification, and there was
no danger that the treaty would be held
up Indefinitely. unless the canal toll
provisions were changed.
Secretary Bryan states that he has
talked with number of Senators about
the British treaty and he says he hasn't
the slightest doubt that the Senate will
act favorably when the matter is again
brought before It,
The announcement of Japan's will
tngnoSs to agree to an extension of
the general arbitration was COM
municated to Secretary Brayn by Am
bassador Chinda, who called at the
State Department and was in confer
ence with the Secretary for more than
an hour
Asked IL this move on the part of
Japan indicated a greater desire than
had been shown by that government
to bring about by means of diplo-
macy, a settlement Of the California
situation. Secretary Bryan said il
was an evidence of a friendly spirit
that was distinctly pleasing to this
Government.
The Secretary said that progress
had been made in the preparation of
the reply to the last japanese note.
and that it was expected the note
would be completed and ready for
to japan early next
week. First, however, the reply will
be submitted to the President and the
Cabinet at the meeting Tuesday morn
ing.

That's what i think. That's my

gone to Senator Lodges office. Ordi-
narily, Void said, he would keeep the

He added that he had been ignored in
the printing of the document, and so

truman 9. Palmer that he, Wold, had

Mr.. Void is one of a number of Sen
ate clerks and employees of the Gov

called in connection with the printing
of Sugar at Glance" 1t is apparent
that somehow or other Mr.. Palmer sue
ceeded in getting into the document

Great Northern and Northern Pacific.
Mr.. Carroll escaped without being much

IN CURRENCY FIGHT
Unless President Insists, the
Prospects Are for Delay in
Passage of Measure.

The demand of Congressman Henry
for reopening of the Money trust in

the enactment of currency legislation
further complicated the currency reform

There is even a prospect that unless

Congressman Henry said today that

The Pu5o committee in its ''prelimi-

Congress directly call upon the banks
for such information.
The report continued:

The introduction of Mr.. Henry'S
resolution is but an incident of the
growing feeling ON Capitol Hill that
the ways of the currency bill will
be rocky, and that the entire matter
may be forced over until the regular
session unless President Wilson in
