DOUBT VETO OF

Japanese Exclusion Provi-

DRASTIC PLAN VOTED

DRASTIC PLAN VOTED
BY FRAZER EDWARDS


WASHINGTON, April 16,-Con.
gress has served notice on the ad.
minlstration OF It's determination to
exclude Japanese from the United
States In such terms that II was
considered unlikely here today that
President Coolidge would veto the
bill containing tho exclusion pro.
vision.
The senate's action In putting the
drastic house exclusion publication
in the senate bill without even the
formality OF record vote. coming
on top of the house action of passing
its bill by n vote OF more than TO l,
was expected to deter the president
from disappearing the measure.
Secretary Of State Hughes will con.
fer with the president on his return
from New York today. but despite
Hughes profound opposition to the
exclusion clause. there were no au-
thorltative indications that he would
counsel veto.
Overwhelming support contained
by the proponents OF Japanese exclu-
sion indicates sufficient strength to
pass the bill over any veto, and Off.
cials hardly believed that Hughes
and the president will risk opening
breach between themselves and
congress over the matter.
Mr.. Coolidge has been warned By

"Wednesday morning, four heav-

$500 and $4,000 In currency.

When the officers returned from
