GENERAL COMITY INVOKED Touching on Right of Inherltnce, Japanese Position Seems to In - dicato Purpose to Suggest Arbitration Later On. WASHINGTON, July 3. The latest Japanese note supplementary to the re joinder of June 3. on the California alien land law protest was delivered today to Secretary Bryan by Ambassa dor Chinda. The note Is simply an elab oration of some of the points contained in the rejoinder. Following the policy pursued in the preceding: phases of the negotiations, the State Department and the Japanese Embassy by agreement withheld from publication any'of the details of this last note. It is believed, however, to 'relate in large part to the development of the contention that such legislation .as the Webb act in California and measures generally resembling it adopted by other Western states are distinctly discriminatory against the Japanese. Equality la Demanded. As a consequence of this, it is be lieved the Japanese note contends, these laws place the United States Go.vernment as responsible for the acts of its constituent states, in the position of denying to the citizens and subjects of a great power with which America is in treaty relations that equality which always has been recognized as a, necessary condition to the main tenance of such relations. Thus it is suggested that the protest rests rather on grounds of interna tional comity than on the exact stipu lation of treaties. Hint of Arbitration Given. - Concerning another phase of the Webb law, that which touched the right of Inheritance, however, the Japanese contention is that the exist ing treaty has been specifically vio lated. The retention and even expan sion of, this allegation is regarded in some quarters as indicative of the pur pose of the Japanese foreign office, in the event of failure to obtain satisfac tion by direct negotiation, to suggest arbitration of the Issues under the terms of the special arbitration treaty, protocols for the renewal of which were signed last week by Secretary Bryan and the Japanese Ambassador. EDITOR BROWN IS INDICTED Oregon City Publisher Charged With Criminal Libel. OREGON CITY, Or., July 3. (Spe cial.) Charged with criminal libel, M. J. Brown, editor' and publisher of the Oregon City Courier, a weekly -paper, has been indicted by the Clackamas County grand jury, following the pub lication in his paper of June 26 of the allegation that County Judge R. B. Beatie and County Commissioners Blair and Magoon rebated their own taxes. Brown, who came to Oregon City about two years ago, has been one of the leaders in the movement to recall trie. County Judge and Commissioner Blair, and through the columns of his paper has been conducting a. campaign against these two officials. Other indictments by the grand jury are as follows: W. Smith and Louis Himler, charged with exploding giant powder in the Clackamas River June 26; II. H.

Edward Gregg Is Injured as "Somer. sault" Car Strikes "Gap" Car Going 94 Miles an Hour. After being expected more than once, the long-threatened accident ac tually did befall the Fearless Greggs in the course of their "Autos That Pass in the Air" performance at the Oaks Amusement Park - yesterday. Traveling at 94 miles an hour, the "gap car" driven by Charles Gregg, crashed into the "somersault" 'car on its second somersault, and Edward Gregg, the driver, was instantly stunned. Despite this, his sister. Al ice, will make the trip this afternoon. Added to the excitement was the crash as the cars smashed the plat form and the detonating report as two of the tires on Eddie Gregg's machine burst. A large number of women spectators fainted. Efforts to obtain a physician at once failed and it was more than half an hour before young Gregg could be re suscitated. He Is now suffering from a severe nervous shock and strain. The fact that the cars are built of steel probably saved Gregg's . life. Another member of the Gregg fam ily took his place last night, and this afternoon, his sister. Miss Alice Gregg, will ride the same car. It was on July 13 Incidentally a Friday 1905, that Norman Mack was killed while riding the same machine performing a single somersault, a modification of the same act that the Greggs are presenting. Superstition, however, does not wor ry Miss Gregg, and she declares that If the weather should not permit the aerial peril this afternoon, she will make the ride at 9:30 o'clock tonight.

I shall insist on staying there until dead or released a free woman. Miss Giveen said: "We have not had a fair trial. We have not been tried by our peers.

NORMAN-DAY STRIFE UP Judge Hamilton Takes Decision in Hotel Case Under Advisement. Circuit Judge Hamilton, sitting spe cially in Portland, has taken under ad visement his decision, in the case of BEGINS Sidney Norman against Robert E. Ellis, Edward Boyce, Eugene Day and Jerome Day, owners of the Portland Hotel, a suit to collect 118,750, a 5 per cent com mission on $375,000, the price at which the Normans sold out their interest in the Portland Hotel to the Days. Mr. Norman insisted he brought the parties together. The defendants denied that he acted as their agent, saying that $500 which they admitted giving him and which he contended was expense money was, in fact, a gift. In the course of the evidence it was brought out that the split between the Normans and the Days resulted largely from the Insistence of the Normans that Sidney Norman be installed as manager at a salary of $5000 a year. It devel oped that while the deadlock was on the Days offered to sell to the Normans for $390,000 and the Normans to the Days for . $385,000. The plaintiff as serted that it was due to his efforts that the' sale of the Norman in terest to the Days finally was effected at $375,000. There was testimony that the hotel cleared a net profit of $10,000 a month for the months of January to June, 1911, inclusive. WINGHELL QUITS PLACE NORTHERN PACIFIC PRESI DENCY THOUGHT IN SIGHT.

In this capacity they aro to serve with Thomas H. West, chair man of the board of directors of the St. Louis Union Trust Company, which in the past has handled the Frisco's finances. Judge Sanborn recently fixed Win chell's salary as receiver at $1500 a month. This, it is understood, was considerably less than his former sal ary as president of the road, and dis satisfaction with the salary is gen erally given as a cause of his res ignation. ST. PAUL, Juy 3. A rumor that B. L.

MANY. LIKELY AFFECTED Appointees ot Commissioners Are Under Civil Service Rule La Roche to Settle Question as to Probable Exams. With the appointment by members of the City Commission of private sec retaries, stenographers and other office employes, some of whom are not on the eligible lists of the Civil Service Commission, a number of questions re garding the civil service rules have arisen wbich will be submitted to City Attorney LaRoche for settlement. It is probable that all private secretaries and clerks will have to take a civil service examination and qualify before they can be retained in the city service permanently. The question was put to the City Attorney when Purchasing Agent Wood appointed a stenographer, a chief clerk, a bill clerk and another clerk for his department, none of whom was on the eligible liBt of the Civil Service Com mission. Two of the Commissioners have appointed private secretaries. In the case of the stenographer In the purchasing department it is Bald that the present incumbent cannot hold the place because there is an eligible list for stenographers and that six per sons have qualified for the Job. In the case of the other employes it will be necessary for a competitive examina tion to be held for each position, it Is said. The three who pass highest in the examination will receive appoint ments. The same, it is said, will apply to the private secretaries of Commis sioners, but not to the. private secre tary of the Mayor, because that posi tion is specifically eliminated from civil service in the charter. The Council as a whole appoints the heads of departments, but not the em ployes of lesser rank. The Commis sioners themselves appoint secretaries and the heads of departments appoint the employes under them. CITY-COUNTY UNION URGED Consolidation of Two Governments Idea of Woodstock Citizens.

A play, thrilling throughout, excel lently acted by a star vitagraph cast, magnificently staged, abounding with dramatic scenes and ending in a great climax of electricity, fire and storm, is the "Tiger Lily," shown for the first time Wednesday night.

She attempts later to use him to compass the death of a rival, not knowing that rival is her own daughter, whom she had de serted years before.
