WASHINGTON, May l5.-The for
NAL reply of the United States govern
ment to the Japanese protest against
the California anti-alien land law
probably will be dispatched TO Toxic
tomorrow. 1t was stated at the white
house today that John Bassett Moore.
counselor of the state department, has
completed the draft of the reply and it
will be submitted to the cabinet to-
morrow following a conference be-
tween President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan. Should the cabinet approve the
draft it will be wired at once to To-
kio.
1t was learned today that the doca-
ment assures Japan that the United
States government has done every
thing in it's power to prevent the en-
actment of the law, not because IL con-
flicts with any existing treaties but
because il does not meet with the ap-
proval of a friendly foreign power. Ja-
pan also will be informed that the ad-
ministration intends 20 do everything
possible to delay the enforcement of
the law until its constitutionality shall
be determined by the supreme court.
No surprise was expressed in adj
ministration circles today over Cover
nor Johnson's decision with respect to
signing the bill. Secretary Bryan's tel
egram was sent TO Governor johnson
Sunday merely to support the federal
government protestation to Japan
that Washington was doing everything
in it's power to settle the matter ami
cably.
1t is now hoped that the referendum
movement on foot in California will
delay the enforcement of the law 20
allow time for the signing OF a new

brought their total of victories AND
defeats to Ia II 6 in three weeks
past. The Phillies figures in the same
period is Is won and 5 lost. In the
last week they dropped two out OF
five. For some time the Philadelphia
club has been looked upon as the only
one that stood between McGraw and
his third consecutive pennant. but
with less than two months to 60, the
Phillies are not even holding their
own.
Well Balanced Week.
A better balanced week than the
one just ended in the American league

two and two. and the Athletics and the
New Yorks won two and lost three.
This left the St. Louis club winning
but out of five and the Bostons
winning three out of four.
The present leads Of the Giants and
Athletics prompted the national com
mission to set October 6 as the day on
which the 1913 world series will start
