Mr. Sisson,- Who .recently made a "war speech,"' had given notice of his intention to speak !n the house Frl day on the legal phases of the Japan alien land question. He had a 20 min utes' conference, with the president during which, however, he assured Mr. Wilson that he would not discuss the pending negotiations, or touch on anything of an Incendiary character, limiting himself to an argument on alien land ownership. That was the White House version of the conference, though Mr. Sisson himself declined to make any com ment, declaring merely that he would speak Friday. . ' ' f The president is known to be anx loun about discussion jn congress at this stage of the Japanese question especially involving any observations on radical discrimination.

It declares : that by . agreement with Washington the document will not he made public. The officials make no comment on the subject. The Japanese public apparently Is waiting for Information before ex Dressing its opinion on the American reply. - In the meantime, the press re iterates that the question goes deeper than the ownership of land or' mak ing of treaties and that it Is racial discrimination which must be wiped out by mutual education and under standing and the fusion of ideas. Yllchlro Tokumlto, editor of the Kokumln Shimbun, writes: The lovalty nf Janan should Join forces with the liberality of America. By this means the Pacific would .nobly justify Its name." On the other hand, much Interest is attached to the formation of a new patriotic association by Count Shlga- noro Uesugl and other scholars "for the maintenance of Japanese Individ uality." The founders declare that some of the people are Intoxicated with west ern civilization to such an extent that they are apt to forget, their nationality and introduce dangerous thoughts Into the mlnda of. the people and Interpret patriotism In a different way from that prevailing among their ancestors. In some quartera It is alleged that this new organization la a political one, masquerading under the guise of patriotism, and that It has been creat ed to fight the battle of bureaucracy against the encroachments of the growing democracy.

Despite asser tions by several physicians that he cannot live, B. Sanders Walker, the young local banker who swallowed poison by mistake a week ago, is mak- ng a desperate battle' for life today.

While unable to fully, account for Walker's remarkable vitality, physi cians, today partially attribute his suc cessful resistance of the poison up to this time to the fact that he emitted a portion of the blchoride of mercury tablet soon after it was swallowed, it was this action which alarmed the banker and caused him to call a phy sician, who rushed to the Wnlker home and pumped out the contents of Walker's stomach. The physician's arrival, however, was not before the poison had taken sufficient effect to paralyze the kid neys. ..." GOES TO KANSAS CITY Presbyterians - Select 1914 Meeting Place Federal Council Defended. By Associated Press. Atlanta, Ga., May 21- Kansas City today was selected ai the meeting place of the 1914 general assembly of the Southern- Presbytetlatichurch by the commissioners attending the 1913 assembly here. In advocating the selection of Kan sas City as the meeting place of the Southern Presbyterian assembly for mer Judge W. H. Wallace of that place declared that the city Is one of the most immoral In the country. He added that the city needs an assembly to arouse the people to a fuller real! ssation of what Is happening In religl i'S circles and predicted that great suod would result from the meetings. Other places In the contest for the next assembly were Waco, Texas., Newport News, Va., and Rock Hill, S. (', The selection of Kansas City was male unanimous after a rising vote had indicated that a majority favored that city. ' Commissioners from Monmouth, 111., and Xenla, Ohio, strongly urged the selection of those cities as the meet ing place of the United Presbyterian assembly. When a vote was taken Newcastle, Pa., received 135 votes. Monmouth 59 and Xenla, 35. Today's session of the Northern Presbyterian assembly largely was de. voted to the adoption of routine com mittee reports. Vigorous opposition was voiced, however, to a resolution recommending that "during or follow ing each sermon pastors should make an appeal for the Immediate accept ance of Christ as the sinners' personal Savior." Rev. C. A. R. Janvier and J. B. Lee, both of Philadelphia, opposed the adoption of the resolution. In a speech the latter declared that the evangelistic note must be placed on the pastor's lip by the holy spirit and not by resolutions of the general as sembly. Despite the opposition, the resolution was' adopted by a close vote. Because of the time devoted to the selection of the next assembly city the Southern Presbyterian assembly did not resume debate on the alleged po litlcal activities of the federal council of churches of Christ In America, at the morning sessions. This debute probably will be continued lute today or tomorrow. . NINE DROWNED Were Building Flslitrap, When Ktorm Drove Their Vessel Ashore. . By Associated Press. Cordova, Alaska, May 21.

JJQ SUPPRESSION OP TWUFMTTflVq TTITV O A V ll1 V ri HU O, ItlLI OA X i Assert Evils It Is Designed to Correct Can Be Prevent ed under Existing Laws. (By Associated Press) Detroit, May 21. Discussions of "recent aasaults on the patent system, what they mean to manufacturers," "problems of Industrial education," and "European laws and the Ameri- can manufacturers" were among , cg, aiscusged at today'a session of . . National convention of manufactur- ers. This was the last business day of the convention and It was expected th, new would ha .letted. A vigorous attack against the Old-, field bill was made by Gilbert H. Montague of New York in his re- , marks on the patent situation. "The Oldtleld bill proposes," he said, "that If any applicant shall establish in a federal district court that a patent owner who has purchased a -patented invention from the original Inven tor, is withholding it 'with the result' of preventing any other person from using the patented progress." more than three years after the patent Is issued, the court shall order the pat ent owner to grant to the applicant license to UBe the Invention upon such terms of royalty as the court's eem Just." ' The burden of litigation which this proposal involves should give large corporations the greatest advantage over ordinary patent owners. The ex- i!-e offered wr this universal pro- . riptton of patents 'Is that patents are -sometimes avtpprtevtf:.JS.'X':''r - For25 days the house committee on Da tents took testimony upon the ' Oldfleld bill and not a single case of suppression' was cited. Almost unan- - Imously the witnesses emphatically ' pposed the bill, with conclusive proofs that its proposals were un- . wise. If the small. Independent manu facturers could be compelled to li cense his big competitors to menu-' ' facture all the second and third best mentions that he has acquired, his big competitors with their superior advantage of capital and selling or ganization, could soon crowd the small manufacturer completely off the market. Instead of preventing 'sup pression' of Inventions, the 'Oldfleld bill would really facilitate It.' In the closing days of the last congress members of the house com- , mittee, representing both parties. united In a minority report against the Oldfleld bill. They showed that every evil for which the bill haa been urged could be cured under existing laws and that under the Sherman act. Interpreted by the, aupreme court In manv recent decisions, the patent laws afford no protection against any form of restraint In trade. If Ameri can manufacturers ana- inventora whose existence Is now threatened by the Oldtleld bill will Join handa with the opponents of the bill, the patent system can be saved.". " ' Industrial Education Problems. Dr. John H. Leete, dean of the BCnooi ut appiieu vicuv.n, i..ni Institute of Technology, read a paper on fundamental problems or Indus trial education. As a remedy for lack of school education . in Industrial lines, he urged: The provision of vocational train ing for the different fielde of indus trial activity approximately com mensurate to the demand for trained men In those fields; more efficient direction of the student towarda the work to which he Is best adapted; facilities for supplementary educa tion for the workmen and co-operation on the part of the Industries to make such continuation, schools effi cient" A. J. Wolfe, commercial agent or the United States department of com merce, sneaking on "European laws and the American manufacture" told In detail of a recent alx months study of European lawa . and European commercial organisation concerning which he will make a repurt to the department of commerce. He urg ed American manufacturers - to al ways thoroughly acquaint themaelvea with the foreign laws before estab lishing foreign branches o ragencle. The fact that worda and terma have an entirely different meaning In dif ferent countries, he said, led to need leas litigation which could be avoided If the American manufacturer had ac quainted himself with, foreign con ditions.
