SHOULD RESPECT JAPAN .Merchant and Maimraclurers of All Male Askcil lo Impress t al iriirniu Willi I'nwistloni of Hostile Laws. NEW YORK. Jan. 29. An important movement with respect to tlie Jaiianfw .U-tion in California was inauKurated irwliv t a meetiri? of thf Board of Trad--- & Transportation committee on foreign and insniar trade. It wa de i Ided to "Report to the Board that the merchants of New York appeal to the merchants and manufacturers of all the other states to co-operate with them in impressing upon the people of California the unwisdom of persistent discrimina tion acain't the people of Japan, which linn shown its title to the respect of the world at large, that has proved Itself to be a irreat factor in the civilizing and progressive Influences of the world and whose trade is of Importance to this country." Affects Amicable Relations. The committee strongly deprecated the SKitatlon in California and expressed the Xar that its continuance would seriously affect the amicable relations between Japan and the United States. At the conference, which was composed of the committee and others Interested in the Japanese trade, were representa tives of the General Electric Company. Kuhn, Ieb & Co.. A. A. Van Tyn Com pany, the National Company, the Na tional City Bank, the China & Japan Company and Muller, HacLean &. Co. Value or Japanese Trade. It was pointed out that while Japan lis us J30,('0,ooo more annually than we sell Japan, It is also true that the OV.OOO of goods which she sells us con sist almost entirely of raw materials not produced In this country, such as tea and raw silks, while ths J39.000.OJ0 of foods which we export to Japan consist of manufactured articles, the products of our factories and workshops. The committee feels that, while the autonomy of the states should be zeal ously guarded, no state should disregard the fact that international treaties con stitute the highest law. nor should they attempt to nullify such treaties or do that which would Injure all the states In the Union. The recommendations of this commit tee will he presented to the board at Its next meeting. DREWS BILIi. IX COMMITTEE Johnson Prevents Him From Keep Ins; Promise to Koosevelt. SACRAMENTO. Cal.. Jan. 19. Assem blyman A. M. Prew, who Introduced an amendment (practically a new bill) to nis anti-alien land bill shortly before adjournment today, made an effort to withdraw it but failed. Prew had moved that It be referred a select committee of one. but when Johnson moved to amend the motion i.y refen-intc it to the Judiciary com mittee, liie former asked that the clerk .end th bill back to him. This the .Speaker would not permit. Irew then explained that be feared ;e weull not be able to keep his prom ise to President Roosevelt, Governor ;llleti and many membe-s of the As sembly. hat h would call up his bill ie.it Wednesday to amend It to con foim to the administration's wishes by eliinii'.a'ins the clause preventing only Jaiiai-esr from owning; land. .Modeled on Oklahoma Law. Karlier in the day he had promised Speaker Stanton that he would with hold the .iev bill until tomorrow, pend li:K tne arrival of the President's letter on the subject He then decided to pet the amendment Into the hands of the printer at once. The Judiciary committee will report on the new bill on Tuesday. The substitute is modeled after the Oklahoma law. which denies all aliens the rtsht to own lands. Tlio original measure was alleged to be discrimina tory because it provided that aliens M't.o did not become citizens of the United States should not own real estate. As Japanese are denied the right of citizenship, they would be placed n a disadvantage with other aliens who might take out citizenship papers in order to hold their property. The text of the bill follows: Provisions or Bill. "Section 1 No alien shall acquire title to or own land in the State of California except as hereinafter pro vided, but lie shall have and enjoy in the State of California such rights as to personal property as are or shall be "accorded a citizen of the United States tinder the lavs of the Nation to which such alien belongs or by the treaties of stub nation with the United States except as may be affected by the pro visions of this act. "Section 2 This act shall not apply to lands now owned In this -state by aliens so long- as they are held by the present owners. Section1 3 All aliens who may here after acquire real property In Califor nia by divise. descent or purchase may hold the same for five years from the inie of so acquiring such title. If any alien at the time of acquiring title to lands situated In this state be unaer tne age of 11 years, he may hold title to the same for five years after the time he becomes 21 years of age. "Section 4 Any alien who shall here after hold lands in the State of Cali fornia in contravention of the provi sions of tills act may. nevertheless. oiivev the fee simple title thereof at an time before the Institution of escheat proceedings as hereinafter provided, provided, however, that If any si.ch conveyance shall be made by su h ali. n cither to an al'en or to a citizen of the United States In trust and for the purpose and Intention of evrding the provision of this act such conveyance shall be null and void and such lands so conveyed shall be for f. Led and escheated to the State of California absolutely for the benefit end use of he public school fund." TliN Salome Is Decent. XKW YORK. Jan. 29.

After two days of fruitless effort, the attorneys engaged In the trial of Patrick Cal houn, president of the United Uail roadH. charged with bribery, tonight terminated their labors with a record of having- examined over 50 talesmen without audition to the eight jurors temporarily accepted. Half a dozen times during the day discretion was cast to the winds and there ensued heated donates wherein tl;e Issue was lost sight of and each side endeavored to place before a pros pective Juror a number of questions involving issues to which Judge W. P. Lawlor took exception. Earl Rogers, of Los Angeles, first op posed Assistant District Attorney Francis J. Honey In a series of heated exchanges, but after Sir. Rogers had departed for Los Angelas, late In the afternoon. Stanley Moore of the defense opposed the prosecution. One of the talesmen testified that his wire had been approached by a newspaper solic itor, who had engaged her In an argu ment relating to the graft prosecution. Before the ensuing controversy was ended, serious charges had been made by both sides and the atmosphere In the courtroom was distinctly hostile. Stanley Voore. ut the defense, wu rngaged In a somewhat prolonged In terrogation of the second venireman of the day. when Assistant District At torney John O'Gara Interposed an ob jection, laying: I think It has b this time become apparent to your' Honor that the' de fense Is employing two distinct forms of examination, basing the method upon the prejudice entertained by each individual member of the panel. Evi dently counsel on the other side have in advance Informed themselves of the opinions of the Jurors to be examined. Flnie the method of examination changes prior to our ascertaining the trend of tiio opinion.

SAN FRANCIaCO. Jan. 29. (Special. ) To secure relief for the hop industry of the Pacific Coast from foreign compe tition. K. C. Horst. of San Francisco, and Herman Kiaber. of Portland, Or., will make another plea to the ways and means committee of Congress for an in crease in the duty on the foreign product. Foreign hops at present pay 12 cents a pound duty, and an increase to 24 cents Is sought. The plight of the hopgrowers is pic tured as desperate. The production in this country has fallen off in the last three years neany 59 per cent, while the importations have nearly trebled. For the last three years, it is said. the. American grower has not received for ills hops the cost of their production: .id in California, Oregon and Washing ton hop fields are everywhere being 'abandoned and thousands of acres of hops plowed up. Of the hop crop, S9'i per cent is used In the manufacture of beer. American hops are said to be equally as good for this purpose as the foreign product, and (he difference is mainly said to be a pyscholosical one. As it is claimed that one pound of foreign hops takes the place of two and a half pounds of the native product in aking a barrel of beer, the Increase in the importation dis places the local product at thrt ratio of two and a half to one. as the total de mand has not Increased. In the brief to be tiled with the Con gressional committee, which report on the revision of the tariff, r t and Kiaber will say. In part: "The hopgrowers of the United States are In great and dire distress, and we cannot too strongly emphasize the neces sity for an inchease In the duty on hops, ft is now a question of whether the United States will continue the importa tions, or whether the growers in the United States shall continue the plow ing up of hops which will ultimately re sult In the total destruction of the American bop industry.

Dry Farming Congress, which meets here February 23 to 25, to have the name changed. It is said that "dry farming" -is a misnomer and mis leading. It is contended that the method should be referred to as scientific farm ing or "arid land culture." because it is the scientllie, way of conserving moist ure in the soils through following Na ture's laws in ' performing Autumn plowing, harrowing, mulching, sowing, etc. The argument is that tills method Is not "dry farming." but a system by which ary farming" is avoided.

Only a few days more VXi ROOSEVELT IN DARK Not Consulted by Taft About Cabinet Selections. OHIO MAN IS INDEPENDENT I President Feels Slighted That Loeb Is Ignored Proof Taft Not Fcho of Uoosevell Views on Cabinet Differ. OREOOXIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Jan. 29. Mr. Taft is not keeping President Roosevelt posted on the forma tion of his Cabinet. He is neither seek ing the advice of the President nor sub mitting names for his approval after se lection lias been miide. The fact 1.- that Mr. Roosevelt Is entirely in the dark with regard to the Taft Cabinet: he knows no more than lie gathers from the news papers. There is some truth in the report that the President feels slighted because Mr. Taft has not seen fit to offer Secretary Loeb a place hi Ills Cabinet, but tli3 President Is more disturbed because Mr. Taft is inclined to choose an entirely new Cabinet, retiring all members of the pres ent body with the possible exception of Secretary of War Wright, who was ap pointed on recommendation .of Mr. Taft just prior to his retirement from the Roosevelt Cabinet. Mr.' Taft. in making his own Cabinet se lections regardless of advice from others, is living up to the expectations of his closest friends. During the campaign the charge was frequently made that he. would be subservient to the will of Mr. Roosevelt: the formation of the Cabinet is one evidence that the incoming Pres ident intends to be independent of his predecessor. Then. too. Mr. Taft views a Cabinet in somewhat different light from President Roosevelt: the new President believes a Cabinet should be composed of able ad visers; Mr. Roosevelt built his Cabinets with a view to securing faithful servitors. Mr. Taft. like . Mr. Roosevelt, demands loyalty in his Cabinet men. but he is demanding the highest ability as well. CONDENSED NEWS BY WIRE I. end I .
