By EDWARITw. PICKARD.
Despite the undoubted fact that,the J
governments of the United StateirAnl
Japan are earnestly striving to arrive
at an urnlouble settlement of their dif
ferences, the relations between the two
nations are becoming more strained
daily. This does not mean that hos
tilities will ensue—such ap eventual
ity Is almost ont of the question—4>ut
the sltuatloii Is giving undesirable op
portunity to the alarmists and the
Jingoes of both countries and Is. real
ly worrying the statesmen and those
directly interested In International
euraGieree.
The administration at Washington
has sent to Tokyo a communication
stating Just how far It Is willing to
go to meet the desires of the Japan
ese, and this proposition was taken
'under consideration by the Jupanerfe
cabinet. At neither capital was any
Information given out hs to the con
tents of the American note, but it was
reported In Washington that one of
the fundamental considerations Insist
ed upon by the administration Is that
Japan shall give a new guarantee
against Immigration, In the form of
an amendment either to the existing
treaty or to the "gentlemen's agree
ment" uuder whi£h since 1007 Japan
has undertaken to prevent the emigra
tion of laborers to America.
If Japan agreed to accept any, such
amendment, it probably would be to
the gentlemen's agreement, for the
Japanese people would scarcely stand
for a formal treaty by which they, al
most alone, would be set apart as un-.
desirable Immigrants Into America.
If Japan cannot bring about a definite
settlement of the trouble at this time,
she desires at least to reach an un
derstanding that will quiet the .talk
of Japanese domination In California
and Induce the people of that state to
reject, at the coining election, the pro
posed new alien land law which Is the
cause of most of Japan's protests.
The adoption of that law was pre
vented last year by the administration,
but whether this conld be done again
Is problematical.
We hove thought In Amerlcn that
the Jajwinese people were, considera
bly wrought up over this question, but
according to ifarquls Okuina, former
premier, they are not sufficiently
aroused. It Is now announced In
Tokyo that Okuina Is going to devote
himself to awakening the Japanese
people against "the unlawful attitude
of California Americans," and that
he will call a meeting of 100 leading
stntcftinen and other prominent citi
zens to exchange views on the subject.
The marquis says his fellow country
men are liecoinlng weak and coward
ly. like the Chinese, are Indifferent to
grave questions affeetliffc the nation's
Interests, and thaf 1 a strong, unified
national opinion roust defend the In
terest* of the Jupanese In California.
He predicts that unless something la
done to check the Gallfornlans, there
will arise a similar stafe of affairs In
Canada. Australia. W»«r Zealand and
oilier British dominions.
That the Japanese already are re
taliating in such ways as are open to
them Is indicated by correspondence
between Secretary of Commerce Al
exander ami Chairman Benson of the
shipping- hoard. Mr. Benson called to
the attention of Mr. Alexander In
stances of Japanese procedure at
i Kobe amounting te discrimination
against American ahlpment* to the
Far East. In reply Secretary Alexae
4r£& • •■W,li :' it 1 - • ,-w . -
der wrote: "The nature of the dis
crimination is In almost every ca?e so
subtle, notwithstanding Ita effective
ness, that it Is almost Impossible to
take formal action."The best solution
of the matter seems to be direct trans
portation of American goods In Amer
ican ships wherever possible."
• ■ ■ mm
The proposed California law, It Is
held by Its proponeivts, would deny to.
the Japanese In this country no rights
or privileges not denied to Americans
In Japan by Japanese law. It may be
us well to give herethe following sum
mary of the chief features of the pro
posed law. It says:
, That aliens, Ineligible to citizen
ship in the United States, companies,
corporations and associations, the ma
jority of whose stock is owned by such
aliens, are authorized to own and con
vey land only as.provided by treaty
and not otherwise.
1 That such persons, companies, cor
porations and associations shall not
be appointed guardians for estates
consisting wholly or In pnrt of realty,
but/that the public administrator or
other •"competent person" shall act for
the minor heirs of such estates.
That ownership or leases, acquired
In violation of thq law, shall become
and remain the property of the state
of California.
That evasldns of the Inw governing
conveyance of property shall be pun*
Ishable by fine, not exceeding $5,000
nor more than two yeqrs in Jail or
both.
governor Stephens says of It: "The
bill does not and will not, be
cause the state legally cannot, prevent
Japanese control of our soil nor can It
stop further immigration. The full
solution of this question cannot be had
short of an exclusion act (tossed foy
congress."
Hot Indignation genuine grief
have been aroused all over the land
by the revelations of crookedness In or
ganized baseball In the grand jury Ib
vestlgatlon In Chicago. That here and
there might be found one or two
plnyers who would sell out would not
be surprising, but that eight members
on one club should be guilty of such
shameful If not criminal conduct
would be unbelievable were It not at
tested by the confessions of some of
the accused. These men not only sold
their honor and the respect and admi
ration of the American people, bnt
they sold out for petty sums nad to
cheap gamblers, who "double-crossed"
them, and now they have nothing left
bnt bitter reflections and the rem
nants of their bribes.
The grand Jury voted true bHls
against eight men, seven of whom are
still members of the Chicago White
Sox club, the eighth having been sus
pended last spring. They are accused
of "conspiracy to do an unlawful act,"
State's Attorney Hoyne was doubtful
whether auy crime as legally defined
had been committed within the Juris
diction of the courts of Cook county,
but the attorney for Charles Coniiskey,
the broken-hearted owner of the White
Sox, says there are at least two counts
on which each of the players named
In the true bills may be prosecuted,
lie says t£e» public paid admissions
to see honest baseball played, and the
conspiracy to throw the games there
by cheated the public. Also he as
serts the men conspired to Injure the
property of Coralskoy, consisting of
contracts worth more thnn $200,000
and the drawing power of the team
end other good will estimated at $300,-
000.
It Is believed that if the state does
not take definite action against the
players the government will prosecute
(hose who received brllies for their
failure to schedule the same on tbelr
income tax reports. Official word to
this effect has been recelted la Chi
cago from the Internal revenue de
partment In Washington.
The White Box. which were only
half a game behind the Cleveland team
in the race for the American league

when the seven players were suspend

deed that they could win the honor of

against Brooklyn, which already has

may be, except those compelling Rus

and Ukralnla.

There has been no cessation of the
guerrilla warfare In Ireland. Nearly
every day one or more 'members of
the British police or army are mur
dered by Sinn Felners, and In almost
every Instance reprisal |s swift and
bloody. Towns and villages are raid
ed and the homes of well-known Sinn
Felners are burned, and often they
are taken out and shot to death. The

started an Inquiry Into the killings,
