cage, Rock Island and Pacific Rail
way company, providing for the rails
ing of $25,000,000 to s30,000,000 new

cording to the announcement the plan

JAP PART in
SENATE BILL
|STAKEN OUT
Amendment Agreed Upon
Which Removes Clause
---r-' ~ From Measure.

Washington, May 16.-To meet
Japan's order regarding the so-called
"gentlemens agreement" for the re-
striction of immigration enacted into
law in the pending immigration bill,
the senate immigration committee to-
day agreed upon an amendment which
removes the Japanese entirely from
the bill but accomplishes Asiatic eX-
clusion otherwise by specification of
latitude and longitude which will take
in China, Siberia, India and the islands
of the Malay archipelago with the ex-
ception of the Philippines. 1t leaves
immigration from Japan to be gov
erned entirely by the Root-Takahira
to be satisfactory to the state depart
ment.
Representations were made that the
enactment into law of an agreement
which Japan had engaged upon honor
to fulfill was repugnant to the jap
anese government as was the CLASH
fication of Jananese with Hindus and
others to be excluded. From the great
block of territory in central Asia the
only country excepted from the
blanket exclusion is Persia. Restric-
ton on immigration from Persia is i'm
posed, however, by a special treaty
That portion of China along most of
its sea coast is not included in the lex
cluded" territory but the Chinese ex-
clusion laws of this country, it is ex-
planned, would be applicable to Chi
neSe.

Great Force
Provided for
in Army Bill

Washington, May 16.-Revised fig
ures on the army reorganization bill,
as agreed upon by house and senate
conferees and submitted to the senate
today by Chairman Chamberlain, now
show that the new army will be even
larger than announced when agree
ment was reached last Saturday.
Careful analysis shows the maxi
mum strength in time of peace will be
I'll 900 officers and men, including
$4,000 staff troops, Philippine scouts
and unassigned recruits, and that the
war strength will be 236,500 officers
and combatant troops, which, with
staff troops, scouts, etc, added, will
bring the aggregate maximum
strength of the regular army to 261,-
500. The national guard, as reorgan-
lied would total 147,000, making a
total Of 417,500 available.
Senator Chamberlain told the SEN
ate:
For the first time we have provid-
ed for an army well balanced through
out and an efficient fighting machine
1t provides for troops enough for the
required overseas garrisons and the
remaining troops at home will be such
as will make up complete brigades
and divisions and the regular army
will no longer be hit and miss COL
lection of regiments and battalions."

inOrpetTr

Waukegan. Ill, May 16.-Counsel
for viii H Orpet, on trial mere charg-
ed with the murder of his former
sweetheart, Marian Lambert, last
February, today sought to obtain &C
cess to. a package of letters written
by Orpet to the girl and found in her
room after the tragedy which cost her
life
At the opening of court States At
torney Dady brought into the court
room a black tin box which held more
than sixty missives said to have been
sent by Orpet- the college boy, to his
school girl friend.
Orpet's counsel commended that he
should be permitted to read the let
tiers before they were formally placed
in evidence.
Argument over the introduction of
the letters, which are believed to have
bearing on the events which pre-
coded the death of the girl in the lone
ly grove near her home, interrupted
the examination of veniremen.
The court room was crowded when
the second day of the trial began
Bailiffs had obeyed the mandate OF
Judge Donneily and barred children
from the trial
Orpet sat beside his father and
mother and apparently was absorbed
in the argument of counsel to which
he gave close attention.
