u. S. Embassy in
Charge of British
Archives in Mexico

Wasliin gton. June 1S.--The American
embassy in Mexico City has taken
charge Of the archives of the British
embassy there which have been in the
custody of Herbert c. Cummins, the
British agent, against whom the Next
can government has endeavored to en-
force an order Of expulsion.
Premier Macdonald discussed the sit
uation at Mexico City this week with
American Ambassador Kellogg at Lon
don and II Is assumed that the trans
fer is one result Of that conference.
The request that the American en-
bassy take charge of the archives was
transmitted to Washington through
Ambassador Kellogg and instructions
went forward today to II. F. Arthur
Schoenfeld. American charge at the
Mexican capital. He was directed to
inform the Mexican foreign Office of his
action 'as a matter Of courtesy"
No information az TO the next devel-
opment in the case YVES available at the
state department.
The Mexican embassy here issued a
statement today announcing the deter
mination of the Mexico City govern
ment not to recede from its position
in demanding the recall Of Cummins.
A reply to the British government
was dispatched yesterday, the state
nent. said. disagreeing with the view
that the request for the recall consti-
tuted discourteous act.

REPLY TO JAPAN
ASSERTS OUR RIGHT
TO EXCLUDE JAPS

Washington, June 1S-The Ameri-
can reply to the Japanese protest
against the exclusion provision of
the immigration act was made pub
lie here tonight by the state depart
ment simultaneously with it's publica-
tion through the foreign Office in
Toxic.
Secretary Hughes points out that
congress was wholly within its
right in the, enactment of the pro-
vision and that the action taken is
mandatory upon the executive
branch of the government. The note
advises the Japanese government
that it must be considered released
from any further obligation under
the geQtlemen's agreement after July
l, 1924, when the exclusion provision
takes effect.
The construction generally placed
upon the American note Is that it
conclusively demonstrates the view of
the Washington government that the
exclusion law is closed incident
and that no attempt to modify or
alter its. terms is to be expected.
The note begins with an acknow-
Judgement of the receipt of the
Japanese protest and then reviews
the provisions of the exclusion pas
sages of the law.
The text of the communication fol-
lows, in part:
1t will be observed that the pro-
vision in question does not differ
greatly in its practical operation, or
in the policy which it reflects, from
the understanding embodied in the
gentlemen's agreement under which
the Japanese government has CO.
operated with the government of the
United States in preventing the emil
grafton of Japanese laborers to this
country. We fully and gratefully
appreciate the assistance which has
thus been rendered by the Japanese
government in the carrying out of
this long, established policy and it is
not deemed necessary to refer to the
economic considerations which have
inspired it -. -.
THE point o. substantial difference
between the existing arrangement
and the provision of the immigration
act is that the latter has expressed
as the president has stated. The de-
termination of the congress to exer-
else its prerogative in defining by

Gun Turrets on

Traps, Word of Lieut..

San Pedro, June 1S.-Battleships'
gun turretts, while giving the men
who serve the guns valuable pro-
lection from an enemy's fire, are un-
der other circumstances. by the very
nature of their construction, veri-
table death traps to the sailors they
were designed to protect, according
to testimony developed today at the
investigation of the explosion aboard
the U. s. S. Mississippi last Thurs
day in which 4S lives were lost. This
point was brought forward by Lieut..
Commander Edward J. Foy. gunnery
officer Of the battleship New Mexico
and it was indicated that the court
|.Qf inquiry would recommend to the
navy department that means of es-
cape from gun turrets on all battle
ships be provided.
Lieutenant Commander Foy, de-
failing the work of rescue following
the bareback in number two turret
of the Mississippi, said that he was
"forcibly impressed with the neces-
sity for some method of escape
from the gun turrets."
The possibility of one of the in
dex tags of the silk T. N. T. con-
tainers having found its way by mis-
take into number turret guns to
hold for the next charge a spark
that would ignite it prematurely.
was touched on in the testimony of
r. Z. Goodwin, seaman of the New
Mexico, who was posted as an OBJ
server in the upper handling room
of number one turret on the Mis-
sissippi the day the explosion &C.
Cured. Goodwin said he had remov-
ed two of the bags from bags in
transit to the guns and added that
he had not seen any of the Missis-
sipprs gun crews do so.

turret, who was so seriously burned
by the bareback that 1t was believed
he might die. today is reported I'M

Late today the court of Inquiry
adjourned it's public hearings to go
into executive session. The board
announced that it would consider
the testimony but that no statement
of findings would be forthcoming for
