' » NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENT EVENTS Relations With Japan Becoming Badly Strained Though There Is No Danger of War. TOKYO LEIIBNS I). S. STAND Disclosure* of Crookedness In Organ ized Baseball Arouse Indignation and Qrlef—Pole* and Baron Wrangel Still Driving the Red*—Moscow Eager for Peace. 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.

Wrangel; who is now well to the north of Alexandrovsk, is being aided by Makno, the Independent Ukrainian leader, and Is taking large numbers of prisoners. The soviet government has had more than enough war with Poland, aqd at the Riga conference Is seemingly mak ing every effort to arrange an armis tice that shall lead to peace. Accord ing to a dispatch from Warsaw, JofTe, head of the Russian delega tion, received Instructions from Mos cow to accept all the conditions laid down by Poland, however hard they may be, except those compelling Rus sia to partly or wholly disband her Red army.
