BRYAN ASKS FOR TIME
Urges Congress to Take No Action on
Asiatic Exclusion Bill

Washington. Feb. 5.-Secretary Bry-
an urged the house immigration COM
mittee today to take no action on the
Raker bill. for exclusion Of Asiatic
immigrants. Diplomatic negotiations
between the United States and Japan
over the California anti-alien land law
and the whole question of Asiatic ex-
clusion was discussed at length behind
closed doors. The secretary bound
Republicans and Democrats to secrecy
and told them the administration
needed to be free from legislative en-
barrassments. in dealing with the sit
uation automatically. 1t was general
ly understood the wishes of the state
department would be respected and
that no effort would be made to press
the bill before the committee at this
time.
Secretary Bryan told the committee
that unless some untoward circum-
stances arose, he hoped for an ami
cable adjustment of the Japanese
question. An agitation in congress at
this time, he declared would be most
unfortunate.
Representatives Ral<er and Hayes Of
California were the only members Of
the committee inclined to oppose the
wish of the secretary that action in the
matter be Indefinitely postponed. 9th
ers readily agreed that nothing should
be done which would in any way en-
barrass the administration.

hint FROM THE Gar.
Is Said to Be Cause of PindeiPs De-
clining Ambassadorship.

Washington. Feb. 5.-The recent
declination of the post of ambassador
to Russia by Henry HI. Plndell OF
Peoria. ILL.,, followed a hint from the
car that Mr.. Pindell would not be ac-
ceptable as ambassador.
A few days before Mr.. Pindelis let
ter of declination was sent 70 tne
president Ambassador BakhmeteIt OF
Russia is said to have called on Secre-
tary Bryan and transmitted to nlm In the
gentle hint from the czar that Mr. Pln-
dell be not sent to Russia. The Rus
sian ambassador is said to have Deen
greatly embarrassed by the mission.
All the correspondence which FORM
ed the basis of the opposition to MI
Pindelrs appointment in the senate,
in which the committee and the SEN
ate gave the Peoria editor clean Dill
of health, was transmitted to the Rus
sian foreign department. While the
senate confirmed Mr.. Pindeu flnaily.
practically without opposition, II Is
said the Russian government took the
nosition that with the important mat
ter Of the negotiating of a new treaty
to come up it would be better Tor all
concerned if the United States repre-
sentative at the Russian court snouio
not be Handicapped by the embarrass-
ment Of the fight he had been through
before the senate.
The state department is silent upon
the report that the Russian govern
ment had sent this hint to Mr.. Bryan.
It was taken generally, however, as
the correct explanation OF MI. P1n-
sian post. Mr.. Pindell was in Wash
ington and conferred with the state
department a few days before he de-
Cliued the pest.

WILSON FIGHTS It
President Is Unalterably OPP
posed to Any Exemption
OF American Shipping From
Paying Canal Tolls.

Washington, Feb. 5.-President
Wilson announced today that he
would use every legitimate influence
at his disposal to have repealed the
provision Of the Panama canal act ex-
empting American coastwise vessels
from the payment Of tolls.
The president made it clear that he
was unalterably opposed to the ex-
emption and that his position had
been perfectly well understood for
some time. He emphasized that he
would endeavor to have the provision
repealed during the present session of
congress This was to clear up the
impression which Senator O'Gorman
of New York, an advocate Of the ex-
emption, gave after q White House
conference, to the effect that the toll
controversy would be crowded out OF
the legislative calendar Of the present
session by the trust bills and appro-
pEiation measures II short session

]. DORRITY'S FUNERAL,
The Seller Of Books Had Friends Who
Cared.

The funeral of John Dorrity was
held this morning at the Church OF
the Assumption. Father Hayden off,
ciating. Dorrity died alone in a To-
No one seems to know where his
home was or where any of his rela-
tives can be found. He died alone
among strangers. And yet there
would have been many friends with
Dorrity In his last sickness had he
given out word that he was i'll.
DOrrity was a seller of books and
he had been coming to this city twice
a year for many years past. Abso-
lutely contrary to the general status
OF book agents, his customers were
his friends. He was q reader as well
as a seller Of books. He was always
welcome when he came to talk Of the
he failed of an order as when he took
one.
1t has developed since his death
that he had been suffering from the
rAvages of a cancer for about a year
But few days before his death, when
he made the round Of his friends and
customers in Topeka to talk and sell
books. no one could have dreamed
that he was i'll beyond q slight indis.
position of which he complained, with
q smile to tighten the complaint.
The newspaper man, and the sher.
in. who was newspaper man, at
tended the funeral of the man who
died alone away from his people
And there was doctor and q lawyer
there, and a merchant and q chief
They had left their mirth and their
employments to come and pay their
last respects to the dead book agent.
Only a handful in the big, empty
church. But Father Hayden chanted
the reQuiems as solemnly and the
singer from the organ loft responded
as sweetly as though a duke had died
and a crowded hall listened breath
less. That is the beauty Of the Cath
olic faith. All the candles were light
ed like stars Of faith, the bell and the
book were used. nd the incense and
all the solemn ceremony, for this
stranger without family, home OF
money, just the same as for the own
er Of a big house on a hill.
Dorrtty was a book agent, but q
dozen men who have abused the tribe
OF these agents for twenty years sal
in sorrow while the last rites were
said to speed his soul. 1t is not what
you do in this pilgrim valley: it is
how you do it. John Dorrity's epi-
