PRESIDENT FAVORS PLAN Senators Divided on Proposition. Sensation la Created in Diplo matic Circles. Wanhlngton.—The proposed new Nicaraguan treaty, virtually establish ing an American protectorate over Nic aragua, which Secretary of State Bry an urged before the senate foreign relations committee with the consent and approval of President Wilson in augurates a vastly important new pol icy for this government In relation to its Central American neighbors. It will ultimately establish the Unit ed States as Lord Paramount of the western hemisphere, and has led to the suggestion that Mr. Bryan has abandoned his anti-imperialist views. The matter has become the absorb ing topic of diplomatic and congres sional discussion. While official utterances have not been given of the purpose of the administration to outline a general pol icy toward Central America, members of the senate evince a growing convic tion that the principle to be applied to Nicaragua is one that the Wilson administration would be glad to see extended to the other Central Ameri can republics. Members of the foreign relations committee who were present when Secretary Bryan unfolded his plan con tinued to assert they could not dis cuss the new development. The orig inal Nicaraguan treaty has been the subject of open discussion among sen ators. This compact did not go fur ther, however, than to guarantee the United States exclusive canal rights, and naval base site, in exchange for a payment of $3,000,000 in gold. The later project to extend a vir tual protectorate over Nicaragua, has assumed the character of an interna tional policy, which members of the senate are discussing with emphatic expressions of opinion. It Is believed that Senators Clarke of Arkansas, Bo rah and some other Influential mem bers of the foreign relations commit tee will take the general attitutde of oppdnitlon toward the Bryan-Wilson plan; while Senators O'Gorman, Bur ton and several others are known to favor many of Its essential points. NO FILIBUSTER ON TARIFF Q. O. P. Senators Say They Will Not Delay Measure. Washington.—Republican senators have Berved notice upon their Demo cratic opponents that there is to be no unnecessary delay of the Under wood-Simmons tariff revision bill. While the sharp tongue of Republican criticism and dire prediction is to be loosed throughout the tariff debate, the Republican do not plan to add any gen eral filibustering tactics or to at tempt tQ hold up final action on tariff revision. This policy has been partially out lined In the opening speech of the Republican opponents of the adminis tration bill. In colloquies on the floor of the senate and In private confer ences among senators. Within the next few days a series of vigorous attacks are to be made on the general principles of the Underwood-Simmons bill, following out the lines of Senator Cummins' speech. The general denunciations will be followed by concerted attacks on cer tain schedules, where the Republicans Insist that the new measures will mean ruin to American industries. The Democrats are prepared to meet all the Republican arguments Engineer Cuts Throat, Decatur, Ala. Pinned beneath an overturned locomotive, Huston Flem ing, an engineer, put an end to his torture by cuttini his own throat when spectators of his plight refused his request to kill him.

REPLIES 10 AMERICAN REPLY TO LAST TWO JAPANEBE NOTES ON CALI FORNIAN CONTROVERSY. Believed This Country Has Said Last Word Regarding California Land Law. Washington.—The American reply to the last two Japanese notes on the California alien land law was de livered by Secretary Bryan to Am bassador Chinda, who at once cabled it to Tokio. As in the case of the preceding notes, contents of the lat est 'one were withheld from publica tion. There is some expectation in offi cial circles that the delivery of this last note will conclude the negotia tions on this subject between the two countries, for the present at'least, if not altogether. It is declared that the American reply to the various points of objec tion to the California legislation has been made so complete as to remove most of them from the Held of dis cussion. Even in cases where the Japanese contentions have not been manifestly completely negatived the expert diplomatists are said to have so framed their responses as to re duce the points to clear issues which probably can be adjusted only on the basis of Judicial decisions. »- The result has been reached through the exchange of five notes, the nego tiations beginning May 8 last, with the original protest by Japan against the projected alien land-owning act by the California legislature. This elicited a reply from Secretary Bryan TURKS INVADE BULGARIA Turkey Intends to Occupy Lot of Bui gar Terlrtory.

Washington.—Administration offi cials admitted that the situation in Mexico and diplomatic inquiries over Europe as to what the attitude of this country would be toward its neighbor on the south were engaging their deepest attention.

Waving United States flags the storm ing party swooped down on the cart news stand of Mllard Price, a Socialist orator, at the intersection of Fourth avenue and West Lake boulevard, the busiest night corner of the city. The cart was broken to splinters in a mo ment, and the big stock of Socialist papers and magazines were torn, toss ed Into the street and Jumped upon. Secretary Daniel of the Navy Depart ment addressed a banquet given at. the Ranier club in his honor, and spoke in eulogy of the American flag and took occasion to praise the attitude of the mayor of Boston, who stopped a red fla; parade.

A mayor who does not enforce the law against the red flag is not fit to hold office, and people who believe in the red flag should be driven from the country." Mr. Daniels then passed on to eu logize President Wilson and closed his address amid great cheering. His red flag remarks occupied only a minute and those who observed him closely say that he had no intention of mak ing them apply locally.
