they want either his life or his money:

New York. July 10--Mrs.9 Brownie Rathbone weaverson. i5s years old, yesterday sued Mrs. Caroline W. Franne. 72. of No. 44o Riverside Drive, in the Supreme Court for $250, 900 damages
 She charged Mrs. Frame with hav-. ing alienated the affections Of her husband, Frederick 1Weaverson.
 Mrs Frame is a daughter of Sam llel WiIletts, and the widow of Charles; P. Frame, a Wall Street banker and broker. who died in October, 191S3' leaving. his. widow over $1,O0O, ,00O. She founded the Fifth Avenue Chris. tian Science Church at No. 241 Mad. ison avenue, where Weaver is First Reader
 Only the most n1eagre details could be learned yesterday of the a.liena1 ton action. Mrs. Frame was sitting in an automobile with Weaverson. who is fifty in front of her River side Drive home, when the summons was handed to her.
 Her attorney, A P. Jetmcre, said he thought a difference in the reli- gious opinions of the two women may have been influential in causing the litigation
 Weaverson. 1t is said, has been act- ing as private secretary for Mrs. Frame for more than ten years. To be near her, for business convenience he and his wife engaged an apart nent on the same floor of the Pater-. no apartments on which Mrs. Frame resides on Riverside Drive.

JAPAN OBJECTS TO
 BILL IN CONGRESS

Washington, July S-Japana has lodged with this Government an ir- formal protest against the Baker and Hayes bills in Congress to govern the entry of Asiatics into the United States and the new regulations on the subject framed by Commissioner General of Immigration Camine+tf This action puzzles the State Depart ments as Japan has not replied to Americas answer to her latest pro test against the California alien land laws.
 At the request of the State Depart ment the Raker and Hayes bills have been held up in the House. A state
 nent by Mr. Hayes that he intends pushing the bill. and of MT. Rakers apparent determination to get prompt action.on his measure, appeals to have caused the Tokio Government to re- new it's attacks on the manner in which the. Japanese question is being treated in the United States. :. According to reports Japan objects to the bills and immigration rules on the ground that they violate the pro- tocoI of 1911--the same contention made in the Californta land Jaws con troversy.
 The feeling here ia that before pro- testing against pending bills and i'm migration regulations Japan should dispose of the California land laws controversy.
 The regulations which Mir. Cami- netti has framed exclude al1 Japanese except students and certain class of tourists. Japanese Ambassador China, contends that this violates the proto- col of 1911 which states that the ques- ton of immigration shall be settled by a tgent1emen's agreement'' that Japan would restrict immigration.
