Secretary Says

TRepubIlcan A. p. Leased wlr.1

WASHINGTON. Nov. 1.-The Amer ican government made public today its first statement regarding the discus sions with the Japanese ambassador concerning the proposed anti-alien land law to be voted upon tomorrow in California. It said that it was believed the Japanese ambassador realized that no outcome of the California movement would be acceptable to the country at large that did not accord with existing and applicable provisions of law and with the national instincts of justice. /"
 The statement was prepared by Act ing Secretary Davis of the state de- pertinent who declared that it was ''in reply to inquiries" and that the fact that 1t was issued on the eve of the California elections was without politi- cal significance. It was understood that the principal object was to assure the Japanese people that their legiti- mate interests would be safeguarded. Mir. Davis described the discussion with the Japanese ambassador as o1 being of the most friendly and candiC nature" and also said that the relation of certain treaty provisions to the pro posed California measure would doubt | less prove an element in the states de | ciSiOn"

Esperanto Wins
 Fish Boat Race
 At Nova Scotia
TRepubIIcan A. P. Leased Wlrel

HALIFAX, N. S, Nov. 1-The Glou- cester schooner Esperanto came from behind in a heart gripping race today and won from the Lunenburg schooner Delawana by seven minute and l5 sec onds. official time, thereby clinching the cup and S4,00o in prize money. The win gave two straight victories to the United States in the interna- tionaI series between the Nova Scotia fishermen and their Massachusetts rivals and thereby determined the event for the year.
 Keen judgment and matchelss sail ing ability of Captain Marty Welch, of the Gloucester boat was said on all hands tonight to be responsible for winning todays victory when he brought the Esperanto from behind after 2 miles of the 4o-mile course had been sailed and on the final les was a dead heat to windward, con- tinually increaseing his lead. The su- perior ability of the Esperanto to wori to windward was admitted to be { factor in the result. Captain Welch however. said tonight that it was tn, wind that did it.
 "In the light wind" he said, "th' Delawana had us. but in the heaviei wind as we approached the harbor WI l loped ahead But she is a game yes sel. a very fine vessel. and splendi' crew"
 l He made this statement as his creV was giving three cheers for the crey of the Delawana.
 That is just what you ought to do. he said to his men. They are fin l bunch and deserve it."
 Captain Tommy Himmelman of tn l defeated schooner said:
 T overshot the mark when I over stood about mile further than I ough to have in passing Shul-In island be
 buoy"
 It was in making the buoy at tn third turn that the Delawana overshc the mark, thereby enabling the Glou cester craft to cut the Lunenbur
 boats lead in half. Members of tn crew of the Delawana, however de
 claimed to take their captains explana
 ton tonight, saying that he only too
 precautions not to run the Esperant
 too close to the shoals of Devils Islan
 in making the turn, for otherwise sl
 would have been in danger of goin ashore.
 The race today was watched | thousands who were kept in a hig pitch of excitement by the alternatin
 fortunes as first one boat and then u
 other nosed ahead with the resu
 continually in doubt until the hon stretch was reached.
