The United States government's reply to the Japanese government protest In regard to the California alien land ownership legis lation, .in saying that It does not In volvo any violation of the treaty be tween .the United, States and Japan, had caused great disappointment In official and other circles here The Japanese foreign office consid- era it unsatisfactory, as it does not i mention any Intention on the part of the government at Washington to take official steps to nullify the Cali fornla act ' " '.

Japan's progress has reached the point where she will no longer consent to. discrimination being shown against her subjects." .The general hope Is expressed here that the reply sent from Washington is not America's final word, especially as the United States government, by its intervention in California, inspired the belief here that It would adopt strong measures in behalf of the Jap anese. It is believed In Japan that the dif ficulty will eventually be settled by diplomacy, but the question of how Japan Is to proceed next Is a puzzle to the authorities.

REFUSES TO ADMIT THREAT TO "GET EVEN" Man Who "Planted" Explo- sive Cross-Questioned to Show Others Were not Involved. Bv Associated Press. Boston, May 22.-t-An attempt to dis credit the testimony of John J. Breen, one of the principal prosecution wit nesses, was made by Attorney Daniel H.- Coakley, counsel for Frederick E Atteaux at today's session of the trial of Atteaux, President William M. Wood of the American Woolen com pany and Oinnls J. Collins for con spiracy to "plant" dynamite at Law rence during the textile strike last year, . ' Breen, who says Atteaux hired him to plant the explosive, admitted today under cross-examination, that he made false statements repeatedly relative to the case, but declared that in his tes timony he had told nothing but the truth. ' The witness told of the payment to him by Atteaux of $500 on January 19, 1912, the day the dynamite was taken to Lawrence. , Breen said he stood on a street corner in , Boston when Atteaux drove up in a taxicab and said to him "Follow-me, John." The money is in the package, 1 will drop It and no one can ever say that I gave you anything." 1 Breen said he followed about a foot behind Atteaux and that when the package was dropped he picked it-up. Replying to Mr. Coakley? Breen said that the corner where the transaction took place was a very busy one at 5:30 p. m. with hundreds of persons pass ing. . He knew no reason, he said, why Atteaux should select such a spot for payment in preference to the privacy of his own office, where no one could see or hear what was happening. - The. alleged purpose in "planting' the explosive was to create suspicion that the strikers planned to blow up the mills. Before the examination of Breen was resumed today, Collins was re called to testify to a. conversation with Breen. after the latter' s conviction The witness could not remember that Breen had said "I am going to ge back at those people because ' they gave me a raw deal." - Breen then took the stand and was questioned regarding a telephone con versation with Police Inspector Roon ey of Boston on the night of January 19. He said that when he told the inspector not to come to Lawrence until the next morning it was not be cause he had not finished "planting' the dynamite. Reference was made to the suits for damages brought against Breen by those who had been arrested after the dynamite 'had been found on their premises. The witness could not re call that he had agreed with the at torney for two of the plaintiffs to set tle by a cash payment to each of the parties of. $300, on June 17. Nor could he remember having postponed the promised payments successively to July 1, July 6 and July 11. "Did you say to Atteaux when you came to him for the $13,000 on July 13, that your trial had bankrupted you ?" asked Mr. Coakley. "I don't remember. I may have,' replied the witness. He denied ho had said to Atteaux: "If you asked Mi Wood, don't you think he would help me out?" and that Atteaux repllea "I would as soon think of taking Mr. Wood by the throat as of mixing him In such a nasty mess aa this.' Referring to telephone conversa tlons between Atteaux and himself, Oreen said he could not recall one during which he said to Atteaux. "There's going to be an explosion one of these days," and to which Atteaux replied: "I hope It won't be dyna mite," and hung up the receiver. The witness denied emphatically having said to Atteaux over the tele phone on another occasion: "I wonder how your rich friend would like to have the labor men know about this." Breen said that Atteaux finally re ferred him to William B. Watts, former chief inspector of the Boston police and now the head of a private detective agency and Watts In turn sent him to Attorney Coakley. STRIKE NEAR END.
