AID FOR POSTAL SERVICE
President Wilson Signs ResoIu-
tion Appropriating $780,
600 and BurIeson Acts.

Immediately upon receiving notice this
morning that the President had approved
the emergency appropriation OF $60OOOO
made. by Congress for temporary post
Office clerks and city letter carriers to
relieve and improve the existing condi-
tions in the postal service, Postmaster

throughout the country authority to spend
total of $4,000. divided as follows:
One hundred and seventy thousand dol
lars for temporary and auxiliary clerks
and $4,000 for temporary and auxiliary
letter carriers.
Anticipating that Congress would re-
spond promptly to the department. ap-
peal for funds, ID. c. Roper, the first as
sistant postmaster general. had given
orders to prepare the letters of author
ization and make them ready for mailing
as rapidly as the requests for assistance
were received, so that when the Presi-
dent signed the resolution 1t only re-
offices where the service needs relief.

Law Does Not Violate Treaty.

The basis Of the State Department. s
contention that the California alien land
act does not in terms violate the treaty
Of 1911 was a careful scrutiny by all the
lawyers of the cabinet. of. the language OF
the law and the treaty.
Save upon the single point that in
depriving Japanese in California Of the
right of inheritance to real estate they
concluded there was no ground for
complaint.
And in view of the expressed declara-
ton in the Webb law that it was not
to be construed as abrogating any treaty
provision, which thereby appeared to as
sure the Japanese against unlawful es-
cheatment Of their property 1t was felt
that the national government could do
nothing less than admit that the franz
ers Of the Webb act seemed to have sue
ceeded in their purpose to make 1t
proof against attack in the courts.
Of1cials gather from the Toxic dis
patches that the negotiations are drifting
into the stage Of pure disputation, where
the international lawyers on both sides
will have ample opportunity to exercise
their full resources In determining the
exact relation between the California law
and the treaty of 1911. Some expect that
the result will be an invocation by the
Japanese government of the right OF
arbitration, guaranteed by the special
treaty of 1905.

riding around in taxicabs. putting up

go over some plans with ex-senator
Cullom.
With a wealth of language and
ornate and picturesque trimmings. he
declines to talk for publication on the
coming conference of republican poll
ticians-it is not his pigeon.
His views on the subject are well
known to his friends. however. He
thinks that with the new administra-
tion only four months in power and its
policies absolutely untried thus fax II
Is premature for the republicans to try
to frame up anything.
Mr.. Cannon called on some Of his
friends down town and then went up
to the Capitol, seeking Minority Leader
Mann with whom to mingle his tears
over a stiff-necked and obstinate po-
litical generation.
Not that he gives rap for himself
for, as he says, 1T is fine not to be the
goat any longer.
