ing and torpedo plane, piloted by
Lieutenants F. w. Wead and John

ACT
LAID TO
FAMILY
CARES
Opposes Exclusion Law, But
Planned to Return Before
Bill Was Drawn

Cyrus e. Woods. American Am.
bassador to Japan. has rendered his
resignation to President Coolidge
and asked to be relieved of his
duties at Tokyo as soon as the
President can conveniently replace
him, 1t was learned here today.
Nothing connected with the pres
ent migration situation was in any
way responsible for Ambassador
Woods decision to retire, officials
said. Ill health in his immediate
family and other personal reasons
prompted the decision, 1t was said.
Illness Only Reason.
The Ambassadors resignation
was submitted several weeks ago, it
was learned, but because of the
tenseness over the exclusion issue,
extra precautions were taken here
and in Tokyo to prevent the news
leaking out, and no announcement
was made for fear that 1t might be
'misinterpreted'' and magnified
into an alarming incident Of jap.
anese-American relations.
Ambassador Woods was home on
a visit several months ago. accom-.
panying a member Of his family,
who was in need of American medi.
cal treatment. At that time, It
was said today, he informed off.
Gals here that he was afraid he
would have to retire. Further ILL.,
ness in his family since his return
to Japan confirmed his fear.
When the President and Secre,
tary of State Hughes will see fit
to relieve the Ambassador is probe.
NAUTICAL.
DisapprOves Exclusion Bill.
The exclusion legislation, which
the President and Mr.. Hughes and
also Woods disapprove, is now be.
fore the President for signature
or veto. A decision will be made
within ten days, the statutary
limit.
Officials were represented as be.
ing hopeful today that Woods could
be prevailed upon to stay in Tokyo
for some time yet, at least until
the present tenseness over exclusion
has passed.
Woods succeeded Charles Beecher
Warren at Tokyo, and Is considered
by State Department officials to
have made IAN excellent record"
He came into the diplomatic service
early in the Harding administration,
being appointed Ambassador to
Spain. He was formerly secretary
OF state for Pennsylvania.
There was considerable conjec.
ture here today as to who would
succeed Woods at Tokyo. Always
a difficult diplomatic. post, II is
now considered to be- doubiy so
because of the resentment felt
throughout japan over the exclu.
sion legislation.
One of the first names heard in
connection with >the post today was
that Of Senator Medill Mccormick,
of Illinois, who was defeated for
denomination in the Republican
primaries last month. The name
