JAPANESE CHARGE TREATY VIOLATION Washington. D. C.— Japan's "solemn protest" against the exclusion section of the new Immigration law was form ally presented to Secretary Hughes Saturday hy Ambassador Hanihara, and was made public at the state do partment without comment. Coapled with tho protest was the request of the Japanese government that the American government "take all possible and suitable measures" for removal of discrimination. The communication declared inter national discriminations are particu larly "unwelcom e" when "based on race,” and added that discrimination of that character la expressed in the exclusion statute. The history of commercial agree ments between the two countries. It was declsred, showed that the Jap anese government hss sought to pro tect Its nationals from "discrim ina tory Immigration legislation In the United States,” whlrh position was “ fully understood and appreciated by the American government.“ "T h o Japanese government desires now to point out." said tho note, "that the new legislation Is In entire dis regard of the spirit and circumstances that underlie the conclusion of the treaty (o f 1911)." It was added that the provisions of the new law "have made It Impossible for Japan to continue tho undertakings assumed under the gentlemen's agree^ ment.” "T h e patient, loyal and scrupulous observance by Japan for more than 16 years of these solf-denylng regula tions. In the Interest o f good rela tions between the two countries, now seems to have been wasted.” the p ro test continued. A t tho end Ambassador Hanihara appended the following paragraph: “ I am Instructed further to express the confidence that this communica tion will bo received by the American govv'rnmcnt In tho same spirit of friendliness and candor in which It Is made.” Americana Are Barred.

THE RED LOCK I \ Tale of the Flat wood** tbe way to ha light trigger •• the weasel knows the way to Its den. And the safe at home—a cracksman from the city tried that one sight. The old man blew a bole In hla riba the size of an open hand with a aa wed- off shotgun be always kept near his bed. Tbe old banker had Just closed bis desk, picked up the rusty satchel, and come out on the porch o f the store when hla daughter and the big woods man Joined the crowd around tbe poet office-a crowd doubly large, fathered for the doubly suspicions occasion. The girl ran to her father and •lipped an arm about hla waist. He looked down i t her and grunted. It waa the only sign be gave that be knew ■he waa there. Up beyond the Warhope farmstead there came a prodigious rattle of wheels, a clatter o f Iron shod hoofs, and the Milford stage dashed Into sight; roared across the wooden bridge where the River road crossed Eagle run; rumbled pest the church Into the village and palled up In front of the post office. Tbe crowd flocked around It. The guard threw off the mail sack. Zeke Pollck picked It up and carried It In, and the lumbering stage rattled away down the river. One passenger had alighted, a tall young man wearing a full beard, neatly cropped snd pointed— the new preach er, without a doubt— quite tbe oddest array of satchels and smhrella. patent leather boots and high hat, stiff neck stock snd enormous spectacles, that had ever Invaded the Flatwooda. H e seemed nervous as be stood st tbe side of the road peering through his enormous spectacles, slightly amber tinted, upon the crowd. , , T b e old banker, with his daughter a step behind him. advanced, touched hla faded black bat and eztended bla hand. "T h e Rev. Caleb Hopkins, I 'low 7” The eyes behind the huge apectaclea lighted. T b e young preacher dropped one o f hla satchels and met the out stretched hand. "Ah— Mr.—Colin. I take t t y "A il bat the mister. I’m Jtst plain Slme Colin.” The old man grinned, as broadly an the pinched shrewdness of his dry face would allow. - “ I want y'u t* meet my daughter.” He half turned; Jerked hla thumb toward the g irt; Jerked It back toward the preacher. "Texie. Mr. Hopkins.” Tbe young preacher touched hla tall h at; dropped hts other satchel, grasped the girl s hand In both his own and pressed It closer than the occasion could possibly warrant. It may have been merely tha ex pression o f a genial nature touched with the fervency o f his profession— tbs outflowing of a benevolence that embraced all humanity— but even ao. It brought a quick Cush to tha glri'a face, and drove her eyas to the ground. The old banker had turned to tha crowd. ” Step up, step np," he called, ” and shake hands with the new parson. Tha way y'u hang back, ha’U think he's dropped off amongst s pack o’ pub licans and sinners." Tha crowd had evidently been wait ing for Just such an Invitation. Stolid faces raveled Into grins, and tha quaint vernacular o f tha Flatwooda had an airing. Odd bits o f philosophy, ancient Jokes, that nobody would hava dared to spring on hts neighbor, wara freely sprung on the hapless and help less sojourner from the polite E ast The Informal reception waa over and moat o f the crowd gone when Taxis noticed Jack Warhope still leaning against the porch post where she had left btm. She ran back, caught his arm and dragged him forward. “ Mr. Hopkins, meet Ja— Mr. War* hope.” "Glad to meet you. Mr. Warhope.” The young preacher stretched forth his hand; the other grasped tt. Tha peering eyes behind the heavy glasses studied him with curious lntentneaa, but the woodsman, only mildly Inter ested. missed the Inquisitive took. The old banker had taken a step up the road. “ W ell,” he said, " I lo w that Jlat about winds up the bow-d'-y'-doln'.

So long had the old money-lender been accustomed ts dominate every body about him that It did not once occur to him to Inquire what the preacher'« wishes might be. He atrodu another step or two up the road, re membered that hla daughter had guns In after the mall, stopped and frowned half Impatiently toward the store doer. At that moment Texts came ont with half a dozen letters Iff her hand, sew the big woodsman, and. with a tiny wisp of rogulthness In her eyes, stopped on the edge of the porch. hla big hand and touched the smart bow of ribbon at her waist. “ ff'y , didn't y'u know, tbe new Aulks» «Í T h » Blu» hisse” preacher's a-romln' on the Milford C s e r r i(M b i A s BsLOe-MsrrtH Cw stags this evenin', snd we re all goln' f meet 'lm— you, too."
