leading Japanese Nsecretly are dis
turhed at the growth of the individ-

from the dissatisfaction Of the people
over the economic and political con-

Toxic. Oct. 4.-An inquiry by per-
sons In high position in modern ia
pan, but who may not be character
lied as official, has evolved this sum-
mary of the situation growing out of
the proposed measures:
First-A genuine feeling of ap-
prehension pervades responsible
Japanese quarters over the anti
Japanese movements in the United
States because of the fear that 1t
may lead to intensified exclusion
movements against the Japanese
especially in the British dominions.
Second-The Japanese contend that
if the Japanese question in Californ-
ia is left alone it will settle itself
because when the present settlers
who cannot be naturalized either die
or return to Japan only their legal
American posteNty will remain, who
in the course of generations, will be
assimilated.
Third-The Japanese contend that
Americans are confusing the pres
ent negotiations, which are aimed at
perfecting the acquired rights of the
Japanese now in California, with the
general question of immigration,
which is not involved.
Fourth-The Japanese maintain
that the voting of the California
measure would add fuel to the an

open in a National League park it is
expected that either Henry O'Day or
William Gem will work behind the
plate in the first contest. This ar
rangement will mean that the other
NATIONAL Laagne umpire will be at
second base, with William Dineen
and Thomas Connolly, of the Ameri-

respectively. Under this plan Con-

Cleveland, Oct. 4-Tris Speaker,
manager Of the Cleveland Indians,
winners Of the American League
pennant, had his team at the park this
morning for a conference, during
which he formulated his mode of at
tack against the Brooklyn Dodgers,
the National League champions, in.
the coming worlds series. The team
arrived from Detroit last night and
will leave for Brooklyn tonight, ac-
companied by many fans.
Altho Speaker would not announce
definitely who his pitching selection
would be in the first game tomorrow,
it is likely that Jim Bagby, who won
thirty one games for the Indians this
season, may be called upon. Stanley
coveieskie and Walter Mato both
are ready and may be called upon if
Speaker does not think ,Bagby has
had sufficient rest.
Should Manager Robinson start

against Cleveland, Speaker may send

to make the players of both teams

the applications for reserved seats
