COY. TEMPLETON ENDORSES
 NEAR EAST RELIEF DRIVE
Expresses Hope People of New Brit ain Will Contribute During Cam
 paign, April 27-AIay 2.

Governor Charles A. Tempeton writes the committee sponsoring the Near East Relief drive. set for April q to May 5, as follows:
 "I am very glad to comply with your request for a letter in further aLce of the work being done for the Near East Relief. I believe in it, have contributed to it myself, and l hope that the people of New Britain will likewise see their way clear 10 contributing to it. This seems to be one of those comparatively rare cases where everybody seems agreed on the desirability of helping. These chil- dren are innocent sufferers and are really in need of food and clothing. Nor are the people of the Near East able to provide the food themselves if they would. This puts them in a diff ferent class, therefore. from those who seek relief while open to the sus- picion of being able to do something themselves.
 wishing you success, l am
 Very truly yours.

NIPPON GOVT. RECEIVES
 REPORT ON IMMIGRATION
Conduct of Administration in Japan Understood to Have Been
 Endorsed
By the Associated Press.

AAb NsHpNidhtu
 Tokio, April 2s.--Reports on the American immigration legislation as ] 1t affects Japan were submitted 10 a meeting of the priry council today by Premire kiyoura and Foreign Minis tor Matsui. It is understood that the council generally endorsed the gov ernment's conduct.
 Precautions have been ordered by the police to protect the persons and property of American residents of Tokio. Although some patriots" are distributing handbills warning of the approach of Japancse-American war, thus far there have been no un- toward incidents. Many speakers, while bitterly attacking the United States as 3 nation are cautioning their audiences against violence lo- cally, pointing out this would only be boomerang 10 Japan.
 There are strong indications that the government will maintain it's policy against retaliation and will be able to enforce it. Calmness pervades Tokio due party 10 still lingering hope that President Coolidge will veto the anti-Japancse amendment 10 the immigration bill, and partly 10 the realization Of leaders here that retail iation not only would be futile but also would result in greater damage 10 Japan than 10 America since eco- homie relations between tho two coun- tries are more vital 10 Japan than to the United States.

CONFERENCE ARRANGED
Washington Notified That Honduras
 Opponents n Civil War Are Ready |. To Meet.

Washington, April 2S-A peace con- ference to be attended by revolution ary and de facto government repre- sentatives today at Amapaa. Hon. duras, has been arranged by Sumner Wells, acting as the personal repre- sentative of President Coolidge in Honduras.
 Mir. Wells, sent to Honduras from santo Domingo to effect, if possible, q cessation of hostilities. reported to the stste department today that leaders of both factions left Tegucigalpa, the capital yesterday for Amapala.
 It is regarded as possible that the conference may be held on board the cruiser Milwaukee at Amapala or in the offices of the American consular agency at that port, although some officials here thought 1t more probable that the Amapala conference today would meet in hotel or some other place of their own choosing.
