JAPAN'S H0K03 IS TRUSTED United States Free to Shut Out Coolies by Law. WEST IS SURE TO OBJECT Japan Object to Provisions Which Are Xot Included In Treaties) With Enropoan Powers China JIaj Ask I.Ike Concession. WASHINGTON. Feb. II. The text of new treaty with Japan, designed to replace that of ll. and drawn with the special design of eliminating the raatrlotlona upon Immigration con tained In that traaty. wa laid befora tha Sepate today by President Taft. The eseentlal difference between the pro rcaed treaty and the existing convention la aald to t that It omlta all reference to all iac restrlctlona and leaves to the national honor of Japan the en forcement at her own porta of tha limitations upon Immigration from Ja pan now expressly placed upon Im migration mto tha United State. Th document la aald to proYtde that either country may denounce the treaty at the end of six muntha If It falla to operate as expected. Because It embodies this radical de parture from the existing treaty and touches the question of the deepest Im portance and Interest to the Tar-lno Coast, the Injection of this conven tion Into tha closing hoars of the (1st Congress caused a sensation today. Opposition From West Sure. That the new treaty will encounter oppoalttcn seems certain, for. even It It should be speedily reported to the Senate from committee without aerloua controversy within the committee room, tha Western Senators are expected to Insist upon opportunity for debate, which will develop the full extent of their opposition to the treaty. I'nllke matters of ordinary legisla tion, failure of the Senate to act upon the treaty during the remainder of this session of Congress would not of It self extinguish It vitality, which could be kept alive Indefinitely In the executive nlea of tlie Senate, to be taken np at any convenient time. This new treaty Is one of "trade ' and commerce." intended to replace the treaty of 1S34. negotiated by the late Secretary Gresham and Baron Kurlno. then Japanese Minister to the United States. That treaty Is a most compre hensive document, comprising 10 ar ticles, dealing with trade, commerce and navigation, rights of dwelling, im port and export dut.es, tonnage dues, port regulations, shipping rights, con sular functions and other subjects, it already has become antiquated, bfcause of the rapid advance of the Japanese In ways of clvlllxatu n. It waa drawn simultaneously with several other treaties of similar scope negotiated by Japan with all the great powers But. unlike the cthtrs. this particular treaty was not promptly ratified and did ndt go Into effect until about a year after the others were In force Japan's Finances Involved. Japan ha already negotiated treatlea to replace those of the with nearly all of the other powers except the United pistes. If our Government were to Insist npon Ita right, tha existing treaties could be continued in force until July IT, lti Trsa little Incident the difference of a year In the expiration of the old treaties la proving very embarrassing to tha Japanese in developing a fiscal policy. As all of the. new treaties contained the fxvorcl nation clause, the Japanese government would be obliged to concede to the nations other than the United State all of the privileges which America now enjoys under the treaty of ISiM- The practical result may be to delay for a full year. If America refuses to enter upon a new treaty relation at once, the readjtxment of tariff rat-e and other forms of taxation vital to the soundness of the Japanese empire. Hence the Japanese government has been using every effort to Induce the Stat De partment to follow the example of the great European nations and consent to Immediate revision of the treaty. The department has delayed doing so, principally for the reason that it dea'.red to await the conclusion of all the trea ties which Japan to making with the other powers In order to make certain of securing for America any advantages extended to other peoples. Coolie Provision Omitted. The radical difference between this new treaty and the one now la force and the one which mXy prove obooxiU to the Western Senators Is aald to be the omission of any reference to the immi gration question. The two governments have enjoyed the undeniable right to legislate regard ing Immigration, either by restriction or by total exclusion of coolie labor. Un questionably the United Statea Govern ment could do this without any treaty stipulation on the subject.

BILL FOR INJURED IS Compensation Act Is Bereft of Power. WASHINGTON HOUSE SLASHES Argument Made That Employ ers Already Do Much. FIRST-AID CLAUSE IS CUT Manufacturers, Hospital Men, Doc tors and Representations) of Labor Attend Day's Fight at Olym pla Graft Cry Raised. OLYMPIA. Wash.. Feb. a. (Special.) When the worklngmen's compensation bill emerged from the onslaughts of the House late today It was scarcely recog nizable by the members of the commit tee that framed the measure. Amend ments upon amendments were offered and accepted until the bill was stripped of all features which the House consid ered might affect Industries of the stats seriously. The gallery waa crowded with em ployers representing the lumbering and manufacturing Interests, and hospital men and physicians were also on hand, as well as a large delegation from or ganized labor. The first aid clause, which Teats, of Pierce, has maintained consistently In all previous discussions of the bill as be ing the most Important feature of the bllL In that It provided Immediate as sistance and protection to the Injured employe, was stricken from the meas ure after a debate that lasted nearly two hours. Teats made a hard fight to save the first-aid clause, declaring that If the bill were passed without this fea ture the effect would be to force the worklngmen to bear the brunt of caring for fellow-employes when injured. Employers Do More. In meeting this argument, members opposed to the first-aid feature declared that the employers in this state aSmost without exception have at all times given Injured worklngmen better care than contemplated in this clauae, and that the alck were also taken care of, while the bill makes no provision for aiding sick employes. . Speaker Taylor, who from the first has been opposed to the first-aid clause, took the floor against this feature after a tie vote had been taken on a motion to strike out the clause, and moved for re consideration. "Gentlemen, when we voted on this question there were 16 members absent from this chamber," said Mr. Taylor, and the motion lost by a 0 to 40 vote. These members evidently have been trying to sidestep the question, and It looks as If they were afraid to go on record on this subject. We should re consider the vote and Insist that all members be brought In and given a chance to say how they will vote on It" First-Aid Is Lost. Dickson of Kittitas moved for recon sideration as soon as the members had returned. Thia motion carried and the Conclud ed on Page 9.)

DE3 MOINES, la, Feb. 2L Gov ernor Carroll vetoed today the Oregon primary plan bill, which had passed both houses of the Iowa Legislature.
