discussed between President Roosevelt
and Viscount Ishii, the Japanese dele

opinion, the quickest road to achieve
success at Geneva.
That the Japanese suggestions will
fall upon barren soil, Is an almost fore
gone conclusion.
President Roosevelt has fully in

Of territories conquered by armed force

agreements and treaties.

OF the world really desire to obtain con-
crete results at Geneva they cannot
ignore the Japanese point Of view.
Responsible quarters In Washington
are somewhat worried about this Japan

anese were to stand alone at Geneva,
not supported by other nations, they
might be compelled to yield to the pres
sure OF public opinion, although SO far
this pressure has been Of no avail with
Japan.
But, It Is said in diplomatic quarters
here, there are certain nations even to-
day at Geneva which are not enthusiast

proposals, and they. may, directly or In

maintain a stiff attitude. in order to

While the European government may be

WAGE REDUCTIONS
Further Cuts Held Planned
for Union En-
pIoyes.
Nv Abe Acsociated pr.,,

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, May 24.-The Nations
railroads today were reported planning
to ask their union employees to take
further reduction in wages.
Such action could be taken June l
under terms of a contract between the
roads and the unions, the decrease to
be effective october /. Members of
more than 20 unions will be affected.
Official confirmation of the plan was
lacking. the Conference Committee of
railroad managers in charge of the mat
ter declining to comment. Information
concerning the move came, however,
from several railroads.
Labor's Refusal Seen.
Labor's reaction to the reported de-
velopment-a fiat declaration that the
unions would refuse any cut-came from
A. F. Whitney, chairman of the Railway
Labor Executives Association.
Interesting. this report of 10 per
cent wage cut notice." Whitney said.
L hadn't heard about it.
II It's true, We will tie up this entire
country before We will accept a one
penny cut in wages. The railroads are
Just kidding themselves, however.
They are not going to cut wages,
and were not going to permit any more
de1atlonary moves, because we're down
to bed rock now
An official of an important Western
road with headquarters in Chicago de-
clared it imperative that the railroads
reduce. their pay rolls. He pointed to
precar1ols financial conditions among
the roads and said it would take years
OF unusually good business to regain
dencits incurred in recent years.
Ihe present reports of improving
business in the railroad industry are
encouraging, but so far there has been
little revenue added" he said. Rail-
roads had deficits ranging from a
mliilon up to 20 or 30 millions last year.
Nom Union Cuts Exceed.
"Non-union employees of the roads
nave taken cuts far exceeding the 10
per cent deduction accepted by the
union workers
The unions took a 10 per cent deduc-
tlon, to continue for one year. after a
long conference with the employers here
early in 1882. The deduction agree
ment was continued at a conference last
december, with the provision that
eltner employers Or employees could serve
notice next June l Of change. Any
adjustment, either up or down. would
be effective October /.
Railway officials here said they con-
sidered 1t probable that a long series Of
conferences would result If q further
decrease were demanded by the roads.
Under the railway labor act, the matter
would be settled by Federal Mediation
Board. II the roads and unions failed
to reach agreement.

BACK PRESIDENT
Inclined to Cooperate if He
Names MainIander as

BY the Associated Press.
HONOLULU, May 24-Comment
yesterday Of men representing the
larger business interests in Hawaii in
dicate they were inclined toward CO.
operation with President Roosevelt If
he should appoint mainland man as
Governor, as Washington dispatches
intimated he might do.
Some political circles, however, be-
moaned the possible advent Of a
"carpetbagger."
In the absence Of concerted action,
comment by business men indicated q
belief that the President has the in
terests of the Territory at heart and is
not interested in political aspects.
To Take What Comes.
John E. Russell, president of the
Hawaiian Sugar Planters Association
and head of the T. H. Davies Co., one
Of the so-called "big five' business in
terests, said:
II feel, and the Hawaiian Sugar
Planters Association feels, that in view
of the Presidents message requesting
a free hand in the matter of the
Hawaiian governorship, it is our duty
as good citizens to take what he gives
u.s."
In another comment on Roosevelt's
message to Congress requesting q
change in the organic act of Hawaii to
make possible the appointment of a
nom resident as Governor of the Ter
ritory, Faxon Bishop, chairman Of the
board of the c. Brewer Co., sugar fac
tors, suggested the President should be
allowed to settle this matter in his
own way, as he has handled problems
40 times more important than this"
Walter F. Dillingham;, financier and
president Of the Oahu Railway, said he
saw in the Presidents request an action
wholly consistent with his desire to do
whatever he thinks best in solving all
problems"
Roosevelt Scored.
Voicing opposition to the Roosevelt
proposal and condemning the tactics
Of local Democratic factions, the Homo
lulu Star-Bulletin, published by a
former Republican Governor, Wallace
harrington, yesterday carried front
page editorial which said Roosevelt the
Wrecker" will be history's verdict If the
plan is carried out.
"One Of two things may be accepted"
the editorial said in part. Either
President Roosevelt has been previously
misled by the unseemly factional row
in the Hawaii branch Of the Democratic
party, or the favorite picture of Presi-
dent Roosevelt as the leader Of liberal
progressive Americanism Is a political
trick and hollow sham. Let us hope
the latter is not true"

Medalie, remarking that his next wit

the evidence in connection with the
sale of Anaconda Copper stock in 1890.
He read a note from &c. E. NJ" to
Dear George" apparently Whitney,
by which a conversation they had had

Another letter, this time formal and
dated December 26. 1880, informed the

CHEVY CHASE ZONE
FIGHT IN COURT
Effort to- Lift Ban on CON-
merciaI Rating at Circle
! Renewed.

Testimony designed to show that
changed conditions along Connecticut
avenue near Chevy Chase Circle have
DESTROYED its desirability as residential
section was introduced In District Su-
preme Court today in a suit to set aside
a covenant restricting the commercial
development of that area.
The suit, which IS being heard by
Justice Peyton Gordon, was filed by
, William P. Kenealy, Henry H. Byrne
and their wives, who own two adjoining
lots on the west side OF Connecticut
avenue at the circle.
The deed to the property, which was
sold by the Chevy Chase Land Co. OF
Montgomery County, contained q cove
nant which provides the property shall
be used for residential purposes and no
trade, business manufacture or nuisance
of any kind shall be carried on or per-
mitted on the premises.
Opposed by Others.
other residents In the vicinity, con-
tending that the property in the area
should be preserved strictly for resi-
Dental purposes, have opposed the at
tempt to set aside the covenant.
In 1917, under a decision by Justice
Wendell P. Stafford the court held
the covenant was valid and property
protected by the covenant could not be
used for commercial purposes. ms
decision was upheld by the Court OF
Appeals. 1t is contended now, now
ever. that conditions in that section
have changed to such an extent the
covenant should be nullifed.
The first witness called today by
Attorney w. c. Sullivan, representing
the plaintiffs. was James Bingham,
policeman assigned to beat at the
circle He testified he spends three
hours daily on traffic duty at Connecu,
c,1t avenue and Mckinley street ana
that traffic conditions along Connectl-
cut avenue at that point have been
growing increasingly worse. Sm,iar
Testimony was given by Howard ID. Full
mer, 5349 Forty-third street, puhoer.
Testimony Stricken Out.
g J. McReynolds, 5611 Connecticut
even,e testified the two lots in ques-
tion have been used by the pubic IN
such a manner that they have become
rublic nuisance and menace to heaitn.
This testimony was stricken out, how
ever when counsel for the defendants
nointed out the plaintiffs, being the
owners of the property, are responsible
for conditions they allow to exist there,
and that they cannot properly plead
these conditions as q reason for setting
aside the covenant. He also said traf-
fic conditions have rendered the area
less desirable for residential purposes.
other defendants named in the suit
are Ellen McReynolds, Oscar II. Robey,
William H. Walker, Gilbert M. Hustled
and May A. Hustled. They own prop
erty near the lots in question and their
property also Is subject to the restric-
ttons In the covenant. The land COM
