BRYAN HALTS
ACT To BAR
] A P s
Confers With Chinda and Phones
Committee to Drop Raker
Exclusion Bill.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-The ex-
IRENE delicacy of the situation ex-
listing between this country and
Japan was strikingly illustrated this
afternoon when a telephone message
from Secretary of State Bryan to the
House immigration Committee alb
ruptly stopped consideration of the
Raker exclusion bill.
In spite of vigorous protests of
Representatives Raker and Hayes, of
California, the committee adjourned.
Action was indefinitely postponed.
Chairman Burnett said the COM
mittee would meet on Thursday, but
Western members, anxious for legis-
lation to exclude Japanese and Hindu
laborers, were skeptical as to their
chance of getting hearings.
Secretary Bryan informed Chair
man Burnett that the department
considered 1t imperative that the leg
islation which might irritate friendly
nations on the East be dropped for
this yaer.
Representatives Raker and Hayes
insisted there could be no good rea-
son for failure to consider legisla-
ton demanded by the people of the
Pacific coast, and said their constit-
uents want a definite understanding
on the exclusion policy.
II became known that Secretary
Bryans action came as the result of
conference he held earlier in the
day with Viscount Chinda. Japanese
Ambassador. They took up all phases
of the question and agreed to discuss
ii at length at a future date.

FAMILY
WAS LUREO
AWAY
Farmer Seeks Wife in Atlanta.
Tells Chief Sister-in-Law
Exerts Spell.

Presenting the unique claim that
his wife and three children, the eldest
a son of 20 years, were abducted
from their home in Tallulah Falls by
his sister-in-law and are residing in
Atlanta, Arthur woodhal, a farmer,
of Tallulah Falls, has appealed to
Chief Beavers to aid him in recover
ing his family.
my sister-in-law Miss Allie Stone,
exerts strange and weird influence
over my wife" Woodhall told the
Chief. I'm January my family and l
were living happily at Tallulah Falls,
where Miss Stone, my wife's sister,
runs a hotel. On that date, by exer-
cising the power she has over my
wife, she persuaded her and the chill
dren to go with her to South Caro-
lima. where they remained for a time,
and then came to Atlanta.
They are living on Whitehall
street I have used every means in
my power to persuade my wife and
children to return to me, but without
avail.
Il can't describe the spell Miss
Stone exercises over my wife, but
know 1t is real"
After listening to the story, Chief
Beavers sent two detectives to No.
2s6 1-2 Whitehall street to investigate
the case. While they were there he
learned Mrs. Woodhal Is 40 years old
and he sent another detective to call
the first two back
"If your wife is forty years old she
probably knows her own mind and I
am pcwerless to help you" he told the
disconsolate husband. I'VE have no
way of exercising spells. If your wife
persists in remaining with her sister
see no way for the police department
to bring her back. You will have to
remove the spell yourself, 1t seems to
me. At any rate, we don't know how
to remove 'em here"
The husband left to look up an at
torney in the hope some legal means
of compelling his wife to return to
him may be found.

gates this afternoon that If the news
