BRITISH FEAR CANADLANENVOY HERE
WOULD HARM DIPLOMAT TIC UNITY

to Ottawa. mo Disgusting the fact
that. notwithstanding statements
by Lloyd George and others, the
idea of Canadian minister to
the United States has had some:
what disquieting effect in official
circles here. 1t was not that OBJ
lection was taken SO far as Canada
is concerned. or that 1t was feared
that it was a step IN the direc-
ton of empire disintegration.
"What troubled British statesmen
was that the example of Canada
might well be followed by South
Africa, Australia and New Zealand.
and that the presence OF 80 many
Rritishers in a single capital might
conceivably lead to differences Of
opinion and be productive OF dis,
turbing consequences. and would
also, have the effect OF DESTROYING
the appearance of the diplomatic
unity Of the empire in the eyes Of
Tho world" .'n

Federal CENSUS PROBE
OF JAPANESE DEMANDED
Figures Giving 1912 orienta1s in
California Declared Incorrect.
100000 Claimed.

SACRAMENTO, Calf, June 25.-A
telegram requesting an investigation
of federal census figures showing the
Japanese population of California to
be 71,942 was forwarded to Senator
Hiram w. johnson by State Controller
John s. Chambers today.
"The federal census figures on
Japanese population in California are
extremely incorrect" the telegram
stated. '.The bureau Of vital statistics
has proved by checking up the death
list Of Japanese that there are at least
100000 here. State figures tally with
Japanese and it appears that approxi-
mately $4,000 have escaped the census
This evasion is just another attempt
to discredit the seriousness Of the
oriental ISSUE"

|SEEKs SPEED ON TARIFF.
President Also Takes Up Tax Leg
islation With Fordney.

In an effort to meet the demands Of
the country and of the national COM
mittee for quick action on tariff and
taxation legislation. President Hard
ing called Chairman Fordney OF the
House ways and means committee to
the White House. House members are
inclined to discount the promise given
to the President by Mr.. Fordney that
the tariff bill will be ready early next
week. There is feeling among House
leaders and some republican members Of
the ways and means committee that the
tax question will be pushed before tariff
provisions.
Mr.. Fordney informed the Presi-
dent that the republican committee
draft Of the. permanent tariff bill
would be ready by Monday or Tues
day for consideration of the full com-
mittee. He did not indicate how much
time would be required for considera-
ton Of the bill by the whole commit
tee membership, although he ex-
plained that q caucus Of House re-
publicans would be held before the
bill is submitted formally to the
House.

New MAIL ARRANGEMENT

Postal Clerks in Far-of Cities Will
Have Plan Of Metropolitan
Finance District.

Changes in methods Of handling
registered bank mail arriving in New
York city early each day will be in
aug,,rated July /, through efforts OF
Second Assistant Postmaster General
Shaughnessy and the railway mail
service.
Heretofore this class Of mail has
not been delivered in the New YORK
financial district sufficiently early to
permit the banks and other financial
houses to put it through the clearing
'hcuse on the same day. and as a result
there was great loss to them in inter-
est charges. This delay to the regis
tered mail was due to the fact that It
has been customary to have 1T all
come to the general post office, Penn
sylvania station. and there be record
ed, then dispatched to the substatione
in the financial district, where 1t was
again recorded.

railway post. offices in the incoming
trains will also sort this bank mail
and make up direct sacks in the same
manner, which are to be specially
handled, direct to the subStations
without going through the general
post Office.
Putting into effect an arrangement
of this kind involves an amount OF
detail that is not known to the gen.
eral public. For example: In order
to arrange for the outside offices tc
make the direct SACKS mentioned, i,
is necessary to furnish them With the

applies to the postal clerks in ths

QUAKER CAPTAINS
HOME RUN IN NINTH
BEATS HILLTOP, 81
Two Are Out and Two on
When Harvey Smashes
Circuit Clout.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, May IL
Capt. Herman Harvey was the hero
OF sensational baseball victory on
Franklin Field this afternoon. when
Pennsyfvania defeated GEORGETOWN
IN brilliant ninth-inning rally.
with two out and men on second
and third, Capt. Harvey smashed
the ball for a terrific home-run
to deep left field. While a clean
single would have counted the two
runners under the revised rule,
the Quaker leader is entitled to q
four-cushion blow. The score was
s-to-7.
There were few redeemine fea-
lures to the contest, the sensational
and unexpected rally for victory
Tar overshadowing anything that
had been achieved in the proceed
ing. The red and blue played like
sand lot kids in the field and the
pitching on both sides was medio-
ere until Floyd Stout Succeeded
Larsen in the seventh with Penn
sylvania two runs to the bad.
Stout showed that his heart Is
similar TO his cognomen. His per-
formance was magnificent, and the
wonder Is that the lad was not sub
stituted long before the arventh.
He pitched to exactly ten men in
the three frames. the extra batsmen
about the regulation limit being
ranked Not the suspicion of
hit was made from his delivery and
only one ball was hit to the out
field,
