Administration Must Defend Law. Internationd] lawyers hint that the edministration is in an exceedingly @elicate position for the reason that, while apparently a champion of the Japanese cause through the ©of state, before the California legisla- ture, probably from this point on it must defend the California law against Japan in the diplomatic struggle about to begin. Possible Complicatiens. 1f the department shonld adopt the California contention that the land law does not violate the existing treaty with Japan. then it might feel bouna te refuse to submit the issue to arhi- tration by The Hazue tribunal. Fue- thermore, it is comtended ¢ that the Tnitea svernment probably would to enforce the decrue of the tri in case it ghould be saverse to California, if the/ Amerfean courts found that the state acted with- in its rights in emacting the law.

It developed today that as a result of the centering of atteation upon tl.e California situation a number of the diplomatic representatives in Wash- ington have been informally discussing and conferring over alleged violations of treaties by many States of ‘the unidon. Violations are said to have oocurred particularly In connection with' cases involving the disposition of property of aliens who have died intestate in this country aand in which local state courts have taken jurisd tion in defiance of treaties. MORE DISCRIMINATION. Bill to Compel Jap Fishermen'to Pay License Fee of $100. Sacramento, Calif.,, May 5.—Fear that the bfll by Senator Rush, requiring Japanese fishermen to pay $100 for an annual license when other aliens sre taxed but $10 and natives only $2.50 is in violation of the existing treaty between Japan ang the United States, caused the senate to refuse ac- tion cn the measure today, pending a Gecision by the committee on federal reations. Senator Kehoe raised the question as to the possible violation by pointing to 2 section in the treaty which guar- antees to Japanese subjects equal tax- ation with American citizens. The section reads as follows: “They (Japanese) shall not be comi- yelied, under any pretext whatever, fo pay any cbarges or taxes other o higher than those that are or may be paid by native citizens or sub- Jocts.” A similar bill by Assemblyman T already has passed the as- sembly. 'Senate leaders are uncertain what actign to take. y LIEN BILL. Would Bar Afiens ing Property.

LAZY HUSBANDS ARE DOOMED. Washington Law Against Them Be- comes Effestive Next June. Seattle, Wash,, May 65—In the state of Washington, where women vote, a new law will become operative June 14 which is caloulated to break up many a fishing game, and to lessen the general interest in outdoor sports heretofore manifested by the lazy husbands of that commonwealth. The husband who won't work and can work, and has work offered to him, may be haled to court by his injured spouse, and there eentenced to hard labor at any job that will pro- duce $1.50 a day, the wage going to his_family. Under the former law, the wife's only recourse was to have her hus- band sent to prison and while he was there, perhaps enjoying such com- forts as Sheriff Harburger dispenses to the alimony club here, she had to earn e living, go hungry, or become dependent on charity. Many women, according to court officials, show un inclination to begin proccedings at the carllest possible date. Steamers Reported by Wireless.

WANT VESTIBULES : ON THE OPEN CARS. Trolleymen Also Want Vestibules Heated in Winter. Hartford, Conn, May 5—A hearing was given today by the Public Utill- ties commission on the - petition of trolley men of the state for vestibules on open cars and the heating of ves- tibules of closed cars during cold ‘weather. The trolleymen were repre- sented by John P. Murphy of this city, chief spokesman, R. J. Lahey of Derby, W. A. Lewis of New London, James Baker of Waterbury, Nathanlel Sic mon_of New Haven, R. Donahue of Norwich, BE. P. ‘Lawlor and Joseph Dunn of Hartford, B. L. Spock _and General Manager Punderford appear- ed for the Connecticut company in op- position. Mr. men’Fweasons Murphy gave the trolley- Tor the requests, say- ing it was for the comfort of the motormen, who on open cars _are troubled by bues and insects striking their faces and in the winter by the imtense cold. Mr. Punderford said there had been no pubiic demand for the neated yesti- bules. If these were furnished a mo- torman might fall asleep on his run, The company has already provided closed vestibules and seats for motor~ men. He never had heard of heated vestibules on any line, Mr, Punder- ford deciared that already there aro great burdens being put on the trol- ley companies and unless a halt is called some of them may be forced in- to bankruptey. In 1911 the company paid only 2 i-2 per cent. and .in 1912 only 4 1-2 per cent. Neo Public Demand.

It would Dbe necessary in order to heat the ves- tibules to install a separate circuit as it would not do to take heat from the cars. Commissioner Hale asked if it would be possible to establish heat under the men's feet? Mr. Punderford said he did not know a trolley line where the vesti- bules of the cars were heated. Business Pays Poorly. Continuing his remarks Mr. Punder- ford complained of the burdens. that were placed on the trolley companies. There isn't a line of business that pays 80 poorly as the trolley business. In the year 1911 they pair only two and one half per cent. and last year they paid only four and one-half per cent. The men, the commissioners and the public have got to do Something for the interests of the companies or some of them will go into bankruptey. The government may take them over, but he would not like to see that. Considering the risks in the business ,the trolley business should Day eight per cent.

OFFICIALS, A MONTH FOR GOMPERS |INVOLVES WHITE - MAN Original Imprisonment — Only Fines in the Cases of Morrison and Mitchell. ‘Washington, May §.—Contempt of court judgments against Samuel Gom- pers, John Mitchell and Frank Mor- rison, the labor leaders, for their vio- latfon-of a court's injunction in the noted Bucks Stove and Range case, were affirmed today by the district court of appeals, but the jail sentences imposed were lLeld to have been too severe. So the court reduced Gom- pers’ sentence. from.one year to thirty days ard decreed that Mitchell and Morrison should merely be fined $500 each. The lower gourt sentenced Mit- chell to nine months and Mérrison to #lx. The Supreme court of the United States undoubtedly will be asked to review the decision again. The Court Divided. Unlike previous decisions in this case which have been unanimously against the labor offlcfals, the court appeals was divided. Chief Justice Shepherd dissented, held that the whole decision should be reversed; that contempt of a foderal court was a criminal offense and thaf the statute of Hmitations had run in the case. Justice Van Orsdel, who concurred in’the majority opinion, held that the Tefusal of Mitchell to assure. the lower court of his intention to obey the man- e of inferior courts in the future “important in measuring the in- mt and temper of the respondents. Natural Conduct .of Self-Respecting Man, & With that the dissenting chief jus- tice disagreed, saying in his opinion: “I am unable’ to see how the refusal to apologize for an act, the commission of which has been expressly denied, shows a reprehensible intent or tem- per. On the contrary, it seems to me the’ natural conduct of -a_self-respect- ing man. Having sworn that he neither disobeyed nor intended to dis- obey the mandate of the court, a con- fession that he had done So would be a solemn admission of the commission of a wilful perjury.” The mafority decision was largely idq;loted to setting out why the orig- nal sentences were held unreasenable. In part it was held: Penalty Imposed Was Unreasonable.. “To permit respondents to escape punishment would. be a. travesty on justice, but we think that the penalty imposed 18 so unreasonable as to de- mand modification. “The differences which nedessitated the injunction have been settled. The sole purpose-of punishment, therefore, is to give reasonable assurance that respondents will in the future respect the authority of the courts. While the injunction was {ssued to restrain the most subtle and far reaching con- spiracy to boycott that has come to our attention, the boycott has ceased and the necessity for the injunction no longer oxisted at the time this case was tried below. Gompers Chief Factor In Contempt. “A pensity, theretors, which would have been justifiable to prevent fur- ther deflance of the order of the court but for the ettiement would now be needless and excessive, Had the court below imposed penalties not greatly in excess of those which we now deem (uate, we would not feel justifi in holding that there had DPeen a sbuse of discretion. Sines, however, the penaities imposed are so unreason. ably excessive and ‘we are called upon to modify the judgments, we prefer to err, if at all, ‘on the side of moder- atlon, “No one, However, can read this rec- ord without being convinced that re- spondent Gompers has been the chief factor in this contempt; hence, a se- verer punishment is merited in his case then in the cases of the other re- spondents.” MAKING PREPARATIONS FOR SUMMER AT NORTHFIELD.

THE TARIFF AND THE COTTON MILLS, Attitude of the Moment, with the New England Manufacturers. | prom Fall River, May 5.—Cotton-goods | manufacturers of new England, seem to have stopped discussing the proba- ble effects of the Underwood bill, { should it be adopted. and now are studying actual working \conditions under the cotton schedule. While at first they were confident that the changes would not be anywhere near so drastic as suggested in the orlgi- nal bill, they are beginning to feel that Congross will probably pass it with few changes so far as the sche- dule relating to cotton goods is con- cerned. The manufacturers are not only analysing the verious featvres of the preposed nmew tarlff that may affect thelr own business, but they are seeking facts about the trade across the ocean, and evidently are preparing to compete with foreign manufactur- ers should the new tarff bring about conditions forecasted in local mill cir= cles. y The situation’in this section has changed little during the past week. Manufacturers * continue to turn out fabrics, part of which are being stored there being no demsand for the profuct in large quantities. Mill men say they do not lvok for eny chanve in operating schedules until some- thing definite s known as to what Congress intends to do about the | Underwood bill. An interesting fact | is that some of them express a be- lief that next year will be a big omne for printed dress cottons, and ' also that the fine-goods mills will be able to adjust themselves to mew condi- a shock such as has Deen feared. Printers of staple goods already have their men on the road geeking fall business, and fairly satisfactory Tesults are seen SOCIALISTS CAPTURED EVERYTHING IN SIGHT Clean Sweep for Debs Party in Nau- gatuck Borough Election.
