Submits Grievances of Mkado
Direct 10 Wilson.
HAS 4 NEW PROPOSITION"
Wants u. S. to Make Official De-
ciaration Recognizing Japan's Citi-
zens as Equals to Those of
Other Nations

Washington, June AFTER con
ference Thursday with Viscount Chin
da with reference TO the latest Japan
csc note protesting against the Cali
fornia law. forbidding persons ineligi-
bic TO citizenship to hold land, Presi-
dent Wilson indicated that the nego-
tiations between the two countries had
suggested q solution of the problems.
He limited that the naturalization laws
would probably have to be tested in
the courts, bat upon the complaint of
a Japenese resident and not at the
motion OF the United States govern
ment.
Exercising his prerogative as per
sonaI representative Of the mikado,
Viscount Chinda went directly to Pres
ident Wilson for a discussion of Jap
ans latest protest.
This act Ct the Japanese ambas-
sador was as extraordinary as it was
dramatic and startling, in view of the
full and free conference he had We'd
nesday with Mr. Bryan, when he de-
liyered the reioinder of Japan.
The appearance of the ambassador
at the White House caused the imme-
date report and belief that the am
bassadOr was not satisfied with either
the cOmprehensivenes nor direct
ness Of Mr.. Bryan's solutions and had
appealed promptly to the president 1t
became known in less than an hour
before the call of the ambassador at
the White House that Japan had sug-
gested a new proposition"
That proposition is, substantially
that the federal government shall
make some official declaration, which
shall be a recognition of the conten-
ton of Japan as to her place among
nations and the equality of her citi-
zens with the citizens of the leading
powers Of the world
This new and direct attitude of
Japan was described by the highest
officials here as very interesting"
1t is recognized that the proposition,
or virtual demand. is loaded with
trouble for the administration with
respect to the states of California and
Of Arizona.
Il was admitted frankly that an
acCuiescence by the federal govern
ment in this Japanese proposition,
would carry with it d Reputation of
the opinions and the votes of the
people of California and Arizona as
expressed in their land law, which
have been described by Japan as Of
fensive to the people and government
Of Japan.
1t was also admitted with equal
frankness By officials after the con
ference between the Japanese am
bassador and the president, that no
one could now tell what answer the
United States could make 70 the
plain, categorical inquiry of Japan.

MATAM0RAS Is TAKEN
BY MEXICAN REBELS
Victors With Plans OF Fertilization At
tack Vulnerable Points Guided
by Traitor.

Brownsville, Tex, June 5.-Eun-
dreds are believed to have been killed
in battle that ragged for II hours be-
tween the rebels under Gen Lucio
BlancO and the federal forces in Mata-
moras, Mex, the northern stronghold
of the federal government, and which
resulted, after desperate fighting, in
Tuesday night
Much of the fighting was hand TO
hand Maj Estaban Ramos, one Of
Mexico's noted soldiers, made heroic
defense against terrible odds. His Of
f1cers capitulated only after their chief
had been mortally wounded by half
dozen rebel bullets and lay at the
point OF death in & hospital in Browns
vile.
The attack began at 1920 in the
morning, when the Constitutionalists
under General Blanco advanced in
skirmish line. The fedeTals had prac-
tically no chance to hold the city, and
their resistance was called remarkab bic
by American army officers who viewed
the assault from this side of the river.
The rebels charged this three times,
and each time were hurled back. Sixty
of their number were electrocuted,
Finally they concentrated their assault
upon the Matamoras light plant Major
Ramos dispatched Captain Velez, his
most trusted aid, with two lieutenants
and a picked band of 20 sharpshoot-
ers to defend the plant and save the
wire fence.
The federaIs made a gallant defense,
but were Outnumbered four to one and
Captain Velez, the lieutenants and the
squad of soldiers were killed to a
man after they had Tetreated to the
very doors of the identification plant.

BECKER SEEKS NEW TRIAL.
Lawyer Files Motion on Behalf of Ger
victed Police Lieutenant.

Lawyer Files Motion on Behalf of Cor
victed Police Lieutenant.
New York, June 6.-Argument on
the motion for q new trial for
Charles Becker, the former police
lieutenant, now in the death house at
Sing Sing awaiting execution for the
murder of Herman Rosenthal, was
begun before Justice Golf in the
criminal branch of the supreme court.
Joseph A. Shay of 20 Broad street,
counsel for Becker, submitted a num-
Der of affidavits on which he based
his motion. Mr.. Shay was opposed
by Assistant District Attorney Frank
Moss, aided by ]. Robert Rubin.
In his argument Mr.. Shay based his
motion on four specific grounds-the
production of new evidence: the mis-
conduct of a juror in the trial of
Becker; that the verdict was con-
trary to the law and to the weight Of
evidence, and that a new trial should
be granted in the interests Of justice.
