PRESIDENT is
NOT CONVINCED
ABOUT CHARGES
Nothing Wrong with Vet
erans' Bureau and United
States Navy Is O. K.

WASHINGTON, May Z. - Presi-
dent Coolidge is not convinced there
is anything radically wrong with
the administration of the Veterans
Bureau Notwithstanding the COM
plant made at tho White House and
charges by Senator Oddie, made on
the floor of the Senate yesterday.
Charges of serious deterioration
of the vessels of the navy, says q
White House report, is regarded as
generally unfounded by President
Coolidge.
The port of Admiral Coontz, Com
mander-in-Chief of the United States
Fleet, just made regarding the mob
olizatioa in southern waters last
winter said the low speed of the
auxiliary vessels seriously hampered
the fleet. He said the ships were
generally in poor repair because of
lack of appropriations. Admiral
Coontz further reported 13 old bat
tleships needed modernization ma
chinery and elevation of turret
guns and equipment for air craft de-
fense. He said the submarine op-
erations disclosed the worst of all
chips taking part in the maneuyers.

President Wants to Delay
Japanese Professionalism
ry Battle to Congress.

WASHINGTON, May Z. = Presi-
dent Coolidge will carry his fight
against making the japanese ex-
ciusion provisions effective July l
to tho floors of the Senate and
siodse of Representatives. He has
Informed the leaders of the Senate
and House of representatives that
he considers the date entirely too
early to permit OF diplomatic ar
rangemcnts that he wants TO make
with Japan, and suggested that the
date be changed to March /, 1926.
President Coolidge had permitted
it TO be announced from the White
House that he believes Japanese ex-
clusion is already effective through
the gentlemen agreement that
Japan will not permit japanese
emigration to the United States
Congress Standing Pat.
In spite of the Presidents op-
position and emphatic position in
the premises the Senate and House
conferees agreed upon making the
japanese exclusion provided in the
immigration bill which has passed
beth houses effective July l, 1924.
The conference report will be
submitted to the House first and
then to the Senate, and it is GER
tain to be agreed upon in both
bodies.
Tho report of tho conferees Is
very unsatisfactory to President
Coolidge, and the indications from
the White House are that he will
not surrender his position until
1rced to do SO.

ANCHORAGE MAN
TO START SUIT
HERE FOR TEST
Arthur Frame Indicates Will
Fight Mass Voting of
S. f. Alaska Tribes.

The legality CT the Indian votes
cast in the Republican primary elee-
ton last week will be tested in the
local Federal District Court in the
near future according to authentic
information received today by The
Empire. This information said that
Arthur Frame, Anchorage candidate
for Republican National Committee
man, will arrive here next week TO
institute legal proceedings for the
test.
1t is understood that the Anchor
age man viii leave Seward next
Sunday on the Northwestern for Ju-
neau On his arrival here he will
seek an injunction to prevent the
issuance of a certificate of election
to John w. Frame. Ketchikan, as
National Committeeman, alleging
that he was not legally elected by
reason of the fact that his majority
is composed of votes of Indians cast
without legal authority.
=. Marpin Is Close.
The Ketchikan candidate had o
Lead of 142 votes ever his opponent,
according to the incomplete returns
as received by The Empire Only Il
few votes in this division are un-
reported while it is thought that
between 500 and $50 are still to
be returned in the other three
divisions.
T. ID e.timatcd that between 700
and 500 Indians votes were cast IN
dle REPUBLICAN primary in South
e3stern Alaska with John w. Frame
receiving 4 great preponderance Of
hem. If the test results in any
material part of the Indian vote be-
ing thrown out it is virtually cer-
tain that the Anchorage man will
win out.
Change Other Results.
A succes1lul night to upset the In
dian vote would not only change the
indicated results in the race for
National Committeeman but would
probably reverse the standings in
several instances in the race for
nominations to the Territorial Leg
islature from this Division and
change the complexion of the dele
gates to the Republican National
Convention, it was believed by local
Republican leaders who have kept
in close touch with returns as
they have been reported.
1t is believed that with the In
dian vote thrown out, J. II. Davies
would lead Forest j. Hunt by a
small margin. although this can
not be definitely established until
the final returns have been received.
However, it is certain that the
three candidates on the "literacy
test" ticket for nominations to the
lover House would have places on
the ticket, IS it would wipe out the
lead now held by Paul, Hern, and
Ferguson and leave Shepard, Gurr
and Ashley high men with Grant.
In the race for delegates to the
National Convention the loss of the
Indian vote would cost George Sex
ton, of Seward, his place on the
list. giving it to r. E. Robertson,
who is not far behind Sexton. 1t
would not affect the election of
DR.. l.. p. Dawes who has a majority
large enough to be unaffected by
anything that might happen to the
Indian vote.
