SOME WOULD STOP
ALL SALE Of GAME
ULTRA cONSERvArloNlsrs STIR
UP OPPOSITION IN
THE SENATE.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Baton Rouge.-Strong sentiment in
favor OF absolutely prohibiting the sale
of all game In the state for a period
OF five years developed in the Senate
Committee on Conservation, when an
effort was made before the committee
to alter the compromise agreement
with reference to the sale OF game,
which n OF the Buie conservation
bills carries.
The period Of sale permitted by the
bill for game birds was objected to by
Dominick O'Malley of the American
Fish and Game Company, as practical
ly amounting to a prohibition, and
furthermore as unreasonable in in.
Guiding certain kinds of birds.
Senators Parkerson and Vincent i'm
mediately announced themselves in IA
o Of the entire prohibition OF the
sale of game, unless the compromise
was permitted to stay. Mr.. O'Malley
told the committee that entire prohibi-
ton for a limited period might be pre-
ferable to the provision in the bill.
The result of the discussion was to ad-
here to the provision Of the bill, which
is a compromise between the anti-sale
people and those desiring the market
open for game at all times.
All six Of the Buie conservation bills
were reported f~avorably by the COM
mittee, only one change being made.
The closing of the fur season was
made Feb. IL, instead Of March l. The
commission originally recommended
Feb. Is, but the House committee
changed 1t.
Senator Vincent tried to get an all.
y%ear-round open season for muskrats,
but the committee stood for the pro-
visions of the bill, which lodges discre-
tioriary authority with the commits
sion.

new TREATY IS ABANDONED
Secretary Bryan Says Japanese Note
Of June 10 Reopening Controversy
and the American Reply Will
Be Published.

Waslington.-The protest of Japan
against the California alien land law,
brought conspicuously before the pub
lie again by publication of correspond
ence between the Washington and To.
kyo governments, was discussed with
interest here in official and diplomatic
circles. Secretary Bryan said the Jap.
anese note of June 10 last, which re-
opened the subject, would be made
public with the American reply within
a few days.
1t is known that Japan, abandoning
the idea Of negotiating a new treaty
to guarantee the property rights of
It's citizens, has asked for a reply to
its note of August 26 last, in which
the United States was pressed to stop
the obnoxious determinations" re.
sulting from the California legislation.
There is but one remedy" this
note said, "and the imperial govern.
ment is unable to escape the conclu.
sion that the duty OF applying that
remedy devolves solely on the gov.
eminent Of the United States"
One phase Of the negotiations dis.
closed in the correspondence which at
tracted particular interest was said to
suggest the possibility Of an issue en-.
tire)y new in the history Of the United
States. In italics in connection with
the promise by the Japanese govern.
ment to grand land ownership to
Americans appeared the words IRE.
serving for the future, however, the
right of maintaining the condition Of
reciprocity with respect to the sepa.
rate states"
This, 1t was pointed out, appeared
to be a distikct reservation by the
japanese government of the right to
retaliate directly on the Caliiornfans
by singing them out among American
citizens for exclusion from the right
to possess real property in Japan.

came within the rule forbidding suits
against the United States without its
consent having been first obtained.
The language, after the resolving
clause, is:,
THAT the consent Of the United
States is hereby given that the State
OF Louisiana may institute in the Su-
preme Court Of the United States a
suit to determine whether the tariff
act OF Oct. 3, 1913, entitled An act to
