JAPAN READS
NOTE OF IT, S.
Explains at Length Position
Taken by America in Ex-
cIuSion Controversy

WASHINGTON, June 19:-The
American government has replied to
the Japanese protest against the ex-
clusion provision of the immigration
act in a note explaining at length
the position taken by that govern
ment but admitting no question as to
the right of congress to take into Its
own hands the nations sovereign
power to control immigration
through its borders. The communi-
cation was made public last night
simultane ousily by the State Depart
ment and through the foreign office
in Toxic.
Cordial and friendly in tone, the
American reply at the same time
makes 1t clear that the United States
has at no time assumed any obliga-
ton, written or implied. upon which
the exclusion provision in any way
trespasses. u
Secretary Hughes points out In the
note, which Is generally construed
as demonstrating the view of the
Washington government, that the
exclusion law Is closed incident,
with no attempt to modify its terms
to be expected. that the action taken
'is mandatory upon the executive
branch of the government and al
lows no latitude for the exercise OF
executive discretion as to the carry
ing out of the legislative will ex-
pressed In the statute"

the danger of some of the little folks

This is due to the opening OF a

Man Under Arrest Had 8 Suits

BROOKLYN POLICE CLAIM
Mariman PaIanbot Being Held
Local Detectives Go
to Brooklyn

Acting Lieutenant John Larson re-
ceived a telephone call at 1870
o'clock this morning from Detective
Joseph Martin, of the 91st precinct,
Brooklyn, reporting that they had
one man arrested who had been
found with nine suits of clothes
marked Cannon & Sheehey, in his
possession.
The mems furnishing establish
ment of Cannon & Sheehy at 90
Smith street, was robbed some time
last Friday night or Saturday morn
ing, and two hundred suits valued
at $4,000 and $3.50 in cash were
taken. Entrance to the store was
made by jimmying the rear door,
and it was the belief of the police
that an automobile was used to carry
away the loot. There II q driveway
from Jefferson street to the rear of
the establishment.
The local authorities commune
Gated with Brooklyn and found that
the man arrested gave HIS name as
Mariman Palanvot, and is a Chilean.
Detectives John Murray and Joseph
Gutowski were detailed on the case
by Captain of Detectives Lawrence
A. Long, and warrant on which to
hold the man was issued by Recorder
Harold E. Pickersgill. The detec-
tives left for Brooklyn about 9
o'clock and it is probable that before
the end of the day much of the loot
taken from the Smith street store
will be recovered.
Little information could be OBJ
tanned about the capture of the
Chilean, but it is understood that his
oh I,
attracted the attention of a 91st
precinct mounted officer and his ar
rest followed the finding of the Gan
non & Sheehy suits in a bag. The
arrest was made, 1t is believed, a
short time before the call was re-
ceived at local headquarters.
1t has been the belief of Captain
Long from the start that the Gan
non & Sheehey job was pulled by the
same class of men as robbed the L.
Stern clothing store on Fayette.
street. This job believed ia be the
largest of its kind ever committed
here, was cleaned up within twenty
four hours and six arrests were made
The recovery and arrests were made
in a boarding house on outer Penn

five Chileans were apprehended at
this time.

|, TRUCE Is seen
Mayor Hylan Acts as Peace
Maker Between Governor
and Publisher

NEW YORK. June 1s.-Three
New York newspapers-the Times,
the Herald Tribune, and the World
to-day declare that peace pact is
about to be made by Governor
Smith and william Randolph
Hearst whereby the publisher will
not oppose the erstwhile political
enemy for the Democratic presiden-
tial nomination.
Mr.. Hearts own newspaper, the
American, makes no mention of the
subject.
The other papers say that Mayor
Hylan Is acting in the role of med
iator between the governor and the
publisher. George e. Brennan,
Illinois Democratic leader, is said to
heartily favor a Smith-Hearst ar
mistice. Brennan. who is behind
Smith for the Democratic nominal
tion, also is friendly politically to
Mr.. Hearst. who has supported the
city and county tickets in Chicago.
-McAdoo supporters again have
adopted the slogan with which they
doomed the claims of their candidate
at the Golden Gate-"Mc'u Do.
They have the reborn slogan on
their hat bands. Senator Ralston.

Hoosier home, near Indianapolis.
while his admirers and supporters
here are carrying on their campaign
for his nomination. One of the
senator's law partners, Frederick
Van Nuys, Is here. Senator Cope
land. who has had considerable
mention as a possible strong dark
horse, and who is known to be on
friendly terms with Mr.. Hearst, has
issued a statement declaring he
found strong Smith sentiment in
New England.
The American declares the Smith
campaign managers have announced
that Brennan has all but pledged
TO the governor the fifty-eight Illi-
nois delegates to the convention and
that in the event of Smiths noni-
nation the Illinois leader will be
made chairman of the Democratic
national committee.
The Smith-Hearst feud dates back
to 1918, when the governor was first
elected. Smith was given the nomi-
nation wanted by Hearst. In Octo-
ber. 1919. the governor attacked tbs
publisher in a speech at Carnegie
Hail. and in 1922 Governor Smith
refused to run for governor IL Mr.
Hearst should be named as a Demo.
cratic candidate for United States
| senator.
Governor Smith, on arriving at his
campaign headquarters, said he
"didn't know anything about it,
when he was asked concerning the
reputed efforts at bridging the gar
between him and Mr.. Hearst.
Il haven't even read the newspa-
per stories the governor added
| counselling newspapermen to wait
until somebody says something"
"I gather that these stories arose
from the fact that George Brennan
came to see me yesterday" he weni
| on.
did Brennan speak to you about
| this matter?" he was asked.
"He did not mention It," was the
reply.

APPEALS ON TAX
WILL Be ACTED
upon MONDAY

I'LL uU11 uMIIZIW HHI
Russell z. Watson Will Rep
resent New Brunswick at
Hearing in This City
PARDEE-MAURER CASES
Will Be Considered Bitter
Fight in Old Time Contro-
versy May Break Out

The fight waged for several years
by the industries of New Brunswick
against the assessment figures placed
on many Perth Amboy factories and
plants is likely to break out anew
next week when the County Board
of Taxation meets In the city hall
here to consider the appeals Of the
C. Pardee Works and Henry Maurer
& Company. This hearing Is sched-
uled to be held In the afternoon and
Russell E. Watson, attorney for the
manufacturers committee OF the
New Brunswick Board of Trade, will
be present in the interests Of the
scorntN seat industries.
The Pardea concern asks reduc-
tions in assessments totalling SILL
$50 while the Maurer plant asks re-
ductions amounting to- $Sb,1s0. II
Attorney Watson Is convinced that
the county board can legally grant
the reductions no opposition VIII be
made by the county seat Board OF
Trade but II the appeals are granted
and. in the opinion Of Mr.. Watson,
fhev are not legal. steps will be TAX
en- at once to carry this matter to
the state tax board and to the
courts If necessary.
The Pardee assessment on build
'lngs this year is $131,250 and re-
duction to 100000 is asked. The
.concern,s personal assesmsent Is
s3s0,00o, the request being made
that this be reduced to $250.uVo'
The Maurer plants building assess
ment is $120,750 and personal
! assessment $115.500. It asks for a
reduction to 100000 In each case.
The complaint Of the New Bruns-
wick industries Is that the Perth
Amboy plants have a greater value
than the county seat industries ana
yet the Amboy assessments are low-
er. with the result that New Bruins
wick plants are paying a larger per-
centage of the county tax than Is
their just share. The county seat
plants have been assessed according
to q plan worked out by taxation
expert and the services OF B. r. Rob-
inson. of Newark, have been engaged
by New Brunswick's Board of Trade
to prepare a method for the equal
ization of Industrial dwelling and
Isofice building taxation throughout
Middlesex county AS soon as this
system Is completed 1t will be SUBJ
amitted to the county tax board by
New Brunswick with the request
that 1t be adopted.
