 The disposition of the president to consult large business interests is, if continued, likely to produce important results. There is no question that all sections of the nation are beginning to feel that there has now been enough antagonism against big busi- ness and corporate interests, and there is no doubt that if the country were left to it's own resources for a reasonable time general confidence and prosperity would be restored-"a ,consummation devoutly to be wished"

QUESTION
 BEING DISCUSSED

 to Block Action on Bills.

Washington. July 11.-Proposed immigration of Japanese and other Asiatics into the United States threat ems to become an issue once moro when enough members of the house return to the city to permit the com mittee on immigration to assemble a quorum.
 A meeting of thes committee Is desired by Pacific coast members for the consideration of exclusion bills on which they have not yet succeed ed in obtaining any action. Attempts made last winter to get favorable committee action on one or the other of several anti-Asiatic bills intrv- duced, were frustrated by the joint efforts of President Wilson and Sec retary Bryan and administration leaders. renewal of these endeav- ors to get the committee to pass On the bills is now under way.
 Learned of Intentions.
 Through its own sources of in- formation regarding legislative mat ters in congress the Japanese embas- sy here learned of the intentions of the members and acted promptly.
 Ambassador Chinda politely calico to the attention of Secretary of State Bryan the protest against these bills which he filed with the state depart ment on behalf of the government of Japan last winter when immigration legislation was under consideration.
 Bryan Admits Conference.
 MT. Bryan admitted that he had had number of conferences" with members of congress and with the Japanese ambassador on the subject. The secretary said the discussions concerned only certain language of the bills and indicated that the mat ter was of slight consequence.
 In other quarters, however, 1t was demonstrated that the administration will have to come to the rescue as it did last winter and determine the shelving of the bills or face another disagreeable discussion with Japan.
 Commands Strongest Support
 The bill which seems to command l the strongest support is that drafted | by Representative Baker of Cali | fornia This bill provides for the ab- solute exclusion of all Asiatic labor | CTS and for the registration of all | Asiatic laborers now within the lim- its of continental United States.
 At present the immigration of Jap- anese of the laboring class is at a | minimum through the workings of | the "gentlemans agreement" by ] which the Japanese government un- | dertakes to refuse to issue passports | to Japanese of the coolie class desir- ing to come to the United States.
 This arrangement the Japanese are | willing to continue indefinitely, but | they are prepared to object vigor- ously to a drastic exclusion law.

The clerk opened the package and
asked in polite manner: Where is

"Oh, said the lady, Il lost that,

caller this was not in reason, and as
she departed she declared never
