CORRESPONDENCE
may Be PUBLIC
Part of Japanese-U. S. Trea-
ty Negotiations May be
Made Public.

Washington, July 1.-The, agree
ment to withhold from publication
the correspondence that has taken
place between the United States gov
eminent and Japan in regard to
treaty negotiations is said here to APP
ply only to the correspondence that
has passed since August 26 last in the
course of an effort to settle the Cali
fornia alien land law issue by a new
treaty. The basis of the projected
convention was to be a declaration of
the right of Japanese residents in the
United States to mold real property.
No statement has been made as to the
reason for keeping this correspond
ence secret, but 1t is understood that
Secretary Bryan still cherishes a hope
that. falling a settlement of the dis
pute over the land question by ordi-
nary diplomatic negotiations, it may
be possible to find a solution by re-
course to the convention planned.
1t is understood that the prohibi-
ton against publication applies to the
last note in the correspondence be-
tween the two governments in regard
to the land act, which was withheld
when the bulk of the correspondence
was published for h reason that the
Japanese government had not in
cluded in it the printed pamphlet it
had prepared for submission to the
diet.

According to Mr.. Wineman the rea-
son for starting the action was less
to enforce the payment of the fee.
than to determine whether or not the
city could regulate the local business

The decision Of the police magis-

waste ones to fill the bases again
Then Toner cracked the screaming
homer in liner form over the right
field fence, emptylng the bases and
waltzing safely to cover himself. Toner
was put in left field by Jensen, who
found his qualifications for that garden
spot lacking.
Cannot Como From Behind.
The Ducks uncorked a lot of pepper
in a desperate attempt to come from
behind but there was nothing doing,
The first inning was their links. They
added one more credit to De Maggio's
home run in the fourth when McClel-
land singled to the left field and
Smith counted him with a double to
the same garden. Their last two cred
its went into the board in the eighth.
Sawyer banged single through
short. Brady sent another into left
field. Toner let it get by him and
Sawyer raced the circuit. He made
the turn for home by the time Toner
recovered the ball and started a relay
to Blausser at third. Roy made a
sharp peg to Weaver at the plate as
Sawyer hit the dust for clean slide
over the plate. But he went over it
cold 1Or BlduSSer peg DeaHeu nun
for an unconscious spell. Sawyer re-
tired from the game on his team mates
shoulders. Halla replaced Smith in
the right field and Smith succeeded
Sawyer at short when the next frame
opened. After Sawyer went to the
bench Smith singled and brought
Brady in for the Ducks fourth and
last run.
The Irrigators slipped another run
over in the sixth when an error by
Sawyer let Schimpf on. Meter sacri-
feed, sending Artie to second. Schimpf
then unkindly pllfered third. Bauer
got on when Brady mussed his
grounder and Schimpf scored on the
play. Jake went out at third on a
sharp peg to McClelland. Kelley and
Blausser both hit but took the cor
oner's sign when Weaver filed out to
the right garden. In the eighth the
Irrlgators eighth and last run went
over on single by Bauer who stole
second. and a single by Kelley that
brought Jake in.

Red" Toner'S home run in the first
inning yesterday was about as clean a
quartet drive as the lot has seen this
year.
To break when the bases were
fun made the home run look like the
real class. Butte is still wondering
what happened that first frame.
When Blausser "beaned" Sawyer no
man ever jumped a Pullman faster.
Sawyer was stretched full length on
the home plate and completely out.
Longanecker got by with bad de-
cision In the second inning when Lewis
pegged TO McMurdo and caught him
shy His jumps called Blausser safe.
He was clearly out.
The left field looked about 'steen per
cent better with Toner cultivating the
garden instead Of the home team man
ager.

this season went on in the sixth when

dropped free. Blausser took hit on
