Wisconsin Senator Goes Back To Washington Today To Attend
 Senate Meeting

Washington, May S1.-Senator La Toilette, of Wisconsin, who has been recovering at Atlantic City from an attack of pneumonia, returned to Washington to be present at a meet 1! ing this morning of the senate inter- i state commerce committee, of which he is a member, when the Barkley- Howell railroad labor board bill came up for consideration.
 The insurgent leader has urged that the railroad board legislation be pass ed at this session of congress.
 While the return of Senator La Toilette two days ahead of schedule was attributed primarily to the meet ing of the interstate commerce com mittee, his friends said he would at once go to work to force action upon a carefully prepared legislative pro- gram.
 He is not expected to scatter his energies on collateral measures but will concentrate upon those he con siders most important. He is very much interested in other railroad leg islation in addition to the Barkley- Howell bill. Particularly in measure he --ltroduced to amend the transpor- tation and the railroad valuation acts.
 He also is insistent upon action on his resolution directing the interstate commerce commission immediately to proceed to reduce freight rates on ag- riculture products and wants some thing done on farm relief before the session ends.

 FEELING GROWING
Sentiment in Japan Now Strongly
 Against United States
By The Associated Press.

Tokio, May 31.-Several minor in
 cldents illustrate the growth Of the
 anti-American spirit throughout Japan
 engendered by the passage of the ex-
 afusion act by the American congress.
 Press dispatches from Wakayama, a city 40 miles from Osaka, say that the
 Young Mems association there passed a resolution demanding the withdraw al of the American missionaries from 1 that district
 Three women's organizations of To- kio have passed resolutions urging women not to buy American toilet ar ticles and the press reports d move ment among Buddhist and Shinto leaders to bar Christians from Japan.
 The majority of the newspapers continue to fan the flame of resent ment. The Yomiuri Shimbun says that the situation cannot produce war but we must draw away from Amer ica. Hitherto we have always consid- cred America first in any internation- al situation. Now we must change that. We are convinced that the fur ther we hold aloof from America the safer it will be for the peace of the Orient
 The Hochi comments in the same strain urging economic and diploma tic independence of the United States.
 Publicists, Journalists and former officials have formed the "Taibei Doshikai" (Anti-American associa- tion) to carry on the national agita- tion against the exclusion. Leaders include Mitsura Toyama, an aged political agitator, imprisoned for sid- ing with the rebels in the Civil War of 1877; kotaro Mochizuki, who was in America during the Washington conference and is a member of the diet and Shinkichi Uyesugi, a profess sor of the Imperial university.
 Dispatches from Osaka indicate that the agitation for a boycott of Ameri- can goods is gaining ground in west ern Japan.

orous and official action by the
Government.
On the basis of reports from Am
bassadoN Kellogg and Colonel James
A. Logan, American representatives
at the London conference which OPP
proved the Dawes plan, State De-
partment officials are of the opinion
that the ample guarantees desired
by American financiers IN giving
their approval to the German loan
have been effected by the London
agreement. They see no reason,
therefore, why American bankers
should hesitate to subscribe to the
bonds to be issued in the course of
working out the Dawes plan.
President Coolidge is already on
record in urging private loans by
Americans to finance the new Euro
pean undertaking on the ground
that through the sterilization of
Europe a decided Improvement
would result in economic conditions
in this country. He was in SYM
pathy from the first with the atti
tude of j. p. Morgan and other
American bankers that there should
be adequate backing for the Ger
man bonds, holding at the same
time that it is the duty of the
people who have the resources to
use them for the relief of Europe
and the Improvement Of world
conditions.
Action of these financial problems
in connection with the operation of
the Dawes plan are expected to be
deferred to some extent until the
return to Washington of Secretary
Of the Treasury Mellon, who is now
In Europe. Mellon is due here
about September /. His advice will
lie sought by President Coolidge
and Secretary Of State Hughes and
then a plan of action to assure the
success of the German loan will be
definitely determined upon and ex-
ecuted.

ALEXANDRIA

ALEXANDRIA, Aug. 20. A
charge Of manslaughter was form.
ally placed against Alfred III. Hall,
637 X street southwest, Washington,
driver of the automobile which was
wrecked ON the Russell road early
Sunday morning with the resultant
death Of James A. Taylor, OF Wash
ington, one of the six passengers,
at a preliminary hearing today be-
fore Judge Fred @. Duvall, Of the
Alexandria police court.
Hall was released under $500
bond to appear before the grand
Jury which viii meet September Is.
Fines totalling 500 also were
ordered against Hall on charges of
driving while under the influence Of
liquor and speeding. An appeal
was noted on these sentences by
Harry 2. Cation, attorney for the
accused man.
Others Are Recessed.
The four passengers in the car
besides Hall and Taylor, were re-
leased on their personal bond to
appear as material witnesses. a@2i
The men are John Fry, William.
H. Carpenter, William S. Shipley
and Harry Mothershead, all OF
Washington.
In placing the charge Of man.
slaughter against Hall, Judge Duvall
explained that the physical circum-
stances of the accident more than
outweighed the testimony Of the
occupants of the car, who said that
Hall was not speeding.
At a coroner's inquest Sunday
afternoon, it was found that Taylor.
died after his jugular vein had
ben cut by a piece of glass. pre-,
sumably from the windshield Of the.
car.
When the accident occurred just
outside of Alexandria, the machine
crashed against fence along the
road, tore through several posts and
ran for several hundred feet before
it stopped.
Going at High Speed.
This evidence, according to Judge
Duvall, led to the belief that the car
was travelling at a greatec speed
than the twenty-five miles an hour
testified to by the passengers.
Immediately after the accident the
body of Hail was taken to the Alex
andria Hospital by a milk truck. All
of the passengers but Hall escaped
injuries.
A bottle containing a teaspoonful
or alleged liql.or was found in the
wrecked machine, police testified.
