Cincinnati. May 15.-That the As sociated Press is not trust, but a trustee, recognizing the responsibility Of telling the truth respecting the worlds happenings. was the declara- ton of Melville F..

 Mr. Stone said the Associated Press is cooperative strengthening or ganization, having no stock, no capital but supported by the newspapers con- stituting its membership. and having no purpose other than to secure and furnish truthful, impartial facts to it's members.
 "The Associated Press, as you in a casual way know it, was born of an obligation, It is striving 10 recognize the responsibility of very great trus- teeship," said Mir. Stone.
 Truth Is Its Purpose.
 The Associated Press was organ ibed by a brave, conscientious, patri- otc body of journalists, to assume this responsibility, to meet this obliga- ton. Their purpose was to tell the truth respecting the worlds happen not the whole truth, yet nothing but the truth. They pledged hundreds of thousands of dollars to redeem this obligation.
 The newspaper members it serves as n joint reporter include papers Of every sort of ffiiation---repubica democratic, conservative and radical -.-and this carries with it trustee ship. Newspapers have but one com mon demand upon the organization that it shall furnish news and not views--that as nearly as possible, con the frailties Of human nature, its service shall oe free from bias or deduction or opinion, and the only tic that binds any member newspaper to it, is the confidence Of the news paper member in it's integrity and im-

HOUSE OVERRIDES
 EXECUT|VE'SPLAN
Adopts Conference Report Ex-
 cludins Japs July i
NOW IT GOES TO SENATE
President Coolidge Has Not Definitely Made Up His Mind Just How He Wili Treat Measure When it Reaches Him.

Washington, May 15.-Overriding the opposition Of President Coolidge, the house today adopted the confer ence report on the immigration bill which would make July this year the effective date of Japanese eNclu- sion.
 The senate now will be called upon to act, after which the bill will go to President Coolidge for signature. His course has not been determined.
 In adopting the report the house developed an overwhelming majority against any delay in putting into effect quickly the Japanese provision, which the administration had sought 10 de- ley in order that diplomatic negotia- tions might be entered into in an effort to settle the question.
 Cooiidge's Position,
 Informed by congressional leaders that both the senate and house are certain to pass the bill as il stands, President Coolidge is giving thought to the action he will take on the measure when it reaches the White House.
 The president was said authorita- lively today to have reached no de- cision on the question, Indications are, hover. that he is giving thought to these three courses Of action:
 Signature of the bill without any statement or declaration.
 Signature of the bin with an ac- companying statement expressing dis approval of the exclusion provision in such manner as to mollify offended Japanese sensibilities.
 Return Of the bill to congress with out signature and with a message de- carlng the executives approval Of all provisions Of the measure with the ex- ception Of the exclusion section.
 Indications were given by some Of those close to the president that the last two courses are being given the most thought The expiration Of the present immigration act June 80 and the approaching adjournment of con- sress are the eomplieating factors.
 Advised On Matter
 Some advisers Of the president havo told him that approval of the bill Witn hu tgCofnpdfslHE ttdlefncnt or disapproyal of the exclusion provision would not greatly soften the blow to Japanese feeling. Others believe that it would be at least partially ef- fective.
 The president. in considering the third course. has been told by friends in congress that in event Of veto based on the exclusion provision those who agree with the administration view combined with those who are opposed to the whole bill would com prise a group large enough 10 resist any attempt to pass the bill over the veto. These same friends are con- sinced and have informed the presi- dent that congress. actuated by an impelling desire to enact an immi- grafton bill further restricting the ar. rival Of foreigners in the United States would modify tho exclusion provision in order to pass the meas ure before adjournment.
