Ne that tha Jmanese srovernment had In structed Ambassador Chlnda to make formal protest against the California alien land bill, now awaiting Gover nor Johnson's signature, was received In Washington official circles tonight with, Interest, although It was not un expected. The protest probably will k. nnuniui to Acting; Secretary John Bassett Moore at the State Department tomorrow. Pending the return of Secretary Bry an from Sacramento, no statement from the Administration Is expected here. It Is known that President Wilson has had suggested to him the referendum as a possible means of delaying for nearly two years the effect of the Cali fornia law in event it is signed by the Governor, but no Intimation of how the Idea was received has been forth coming. BUI Telrsrraphed. Wilson. The full Webb measure, as it was passed by the California Legislature and la now awaiting the signature of Governor Johnson, was telegraphed the White House, but it is understood Pres ident Wilson will not read It until to morrow. While Governor Johnson has indicated he will give President Wll ' son a "reasonable time" In which to define his objections to the Webb bill, the departure of Secretary Bryan from Sacramento Is taken to mean the Pres ident will conduct no further formal negotiations w'lth the state govern ment. It is possible that he may make in formal representations regarding the measure to the Governor, pointing out certain features of the bill he deems of doubtful constitutionality, but this is speculative. Litigation Will Follow. It la taken for granted In official circles here that legal proceedings will follow the enactment of the bill into law. Japan believes its treaty rights should be taken to The Hague for ad justment, but It Is probable the De partment of Justice' and the State De partment will hold that the proper pro cedure will be for Japanese affected by the legislation to appeal to the Fed eral courts. JAPANESE COMMEND WILSON Leaders in Tokk Advise People to Preserve Calm Attitude. TOKIO. May 4. The Japanese press today expressed a general appreciation of the effort of President Wilson in behalf of a land bill In California that would not be objectionable to the Jap anese. Leaders of public opinion in Japan are advising that an attitude of calmness be maintained In the present situation. Such men as Baron Shlbus iwi and Chairman Kakano. of the To klo Chamber of Commerce, publicly as sert confidence that the American Gov ernment and people alike are opposed to discriminatory measures of legislation. They declare that every effort now must be made to discover and eradicate tha root of antagonism to the Japana neae in California, that amicable rela tions may be restored. While the Japanese newspapers voice the same sentiments, they blame the Government for what they term a "fail ure of diplomacy." Special dispatches received from Washington telling of reported plana for the mobilization of the Japanese navy are read here with ridicule by those best informed on naval plans.

The Califor nia anti-alien land holding act. which passed both houses of the Legislature within 24 hours after bringing about one of the most unusual situations In the history of the Nation, will lie on Governor Johnson's desk without his signature until Secretary of State Bryan can confer with President Wilson In Washington.

Many householders in Cincinnati who yesterday bought sacks of potatoes ad vertised for sale at a reduced price by a large grocery of Cincinnati, were sur prised when they opened them to find they contained cards saying that the potatoes had been grown In Oregon or Washington and had been donated to the sufferers by the recent disaster ous floods In the Dayton district. The grocery firm had advertised that it would sell 10,000 sacks of Western potatoes at about half the regular price, or 36 cents a bushel. The buyer for the firm said they had been offered him .at a low price by a member of the flood relief committee, who had told him .the committee had received huge shipments of potatoes from the West, and that because the tubers were a perishable commodity the committee had decided to sell them. He said the price at which he bought them en abled his firm to sell them at a small profit at 36 cents, though the prevail ing price of potatoes in Cincinnati re tall market is now 60 cents a bushel. No statement from the relief com mittee itself was obtainable tonight. CHADWICK'S CHANCE GOOD McReynoIds' Indorsement Thought to Make Federal Place Certain. WASHINGTON, May 4. (Special.) The appointment of S. J. Chadwick, of the Washington State Supreme bench, as Federal Judge for the western dis trict ot Washington has been recom mended to the President by Attorney General McReynoIds, and there Is every Indication that the President will fol low the recommendation of his Attor ney-General, disregarding the contrary recommendations of State Chairman Todd and National Committeeman Pat tlson. Chadwick's nomination may be sent to the Senate tomorrow, or it may be delayed several days, according to the press of other business at the White House. President Wilson subordinating appointments to other governmental affairs. In the case of Judicial appoint ments, however, he has Indicated his purpose to set aside purely political In dorsements and to make selections of the men he deems best suited for the vacant offices. The President is not a lawyer and de pends for counsel as to that phase of his work on the Attorney-General. There seems to be no question that he will appoint Judge Chadwick because of McReynoIds' indorsement. POLITICIANS OUT AT NIGHT Petitions Circulated In Hotel Lobbies When Midnight Strikes.

Workers soon combed the hotel lobby and radiated from there to various places nearby where personB might be found late at night.

HORSEMEN CHARGE PEOPLE Suffragettes Also Speak in Defiance of Restraint. HARDIE SAVES SITUATION Member of Parliament, Appealed To by Authorities, Advises Peace ful Dispersal Battle In Progress Two Hours. LONDON, May 4. Wild scenes or order occurred at the demonstration in Trafalgar Square under the auspices of. the Free Speech defense committee. The "police tried to prevent speeches from the Whitehall side of the Nelson column and only the Intervention of James Kier Hardle, Socialist and Inde pendent Labor member of the House of Commons, who was chairman of the meeting, prevented a serious riot. As It was the disorders, many times cul minating in fisticuffs between the crowd and the police, continued for al most two hours. By the time the marching Socialist Labor and other organizations with bands playing the "Marseillaise" reached Trafalgar Square, 20,000 persons had gathered there and as many more in the surrounding streets. Women March With Dockers. Permission, to hold a meeting was given at the last moment on the un derstanding that no suffragettes be al lowed to speak. Unable to secure per mission to march as an organization, the supporters of the Women's Social and Political Union marched with the dockers, their colors flying, preceded by a huge banner inscribed "Where there's a will, there's a way." Flags of the Women's Social and Political Union were hoisted on the plinth, from which they waved continuously during the meeting. Trouble began when a Socialist speaker started to address the crowd from the Whitehall side of the column. The promise had been given that no speaking should take place on this side because of Interference with traffic. Police Ride Down Rioters. A husky police sergeant stanciog on the plinth hurled the speaker down on the heads of the crowd below. The crowd then rushed the plinth and en deavored to replace the speaicer. It looked for a time as if their efforts would prove successful, but mounted police ruthlessly rode down the rioters. James Kier Hafdle then intervened and the Socialist speaker was allowed to regain his place. In a moment a suffragette attempted to climb to the plinth. The police be low tried to pull her back, but sympa thizers on the platform succeeded in dragging her up after she had sacrificed some clothes left in the hands of the police. In. retaliation a polloeman snatched a suffragette banner from a girl who was waving It from the back of one of the Landreer lions. She struck the policeman In the face and her frljads regained tee banner minus the staff. Order Obeyed Roughly. This struggle angered the crowd and the disorder became so general that Commissioner Wells, commanding the mounted police, ordered the Whitehall side cleared. The order was carried out so rough ly by the horsemen that Commissioner Wells, noting the tempers of the crowd, retired In favor of another commission er. As he was leaving Wells was show ered with eggs and oranges and other missiles. Fights between the police and the people then became general, the chief results of which were battered faces and minor injuries on both sides. Many rioters were arrested, but the crowd succeeded In rescuing most of the pris oners. Requested to do so by the police. James Kier Hardie asked the crowd to disperse, which it did reluctantly. Mrs. Despard and other suffragettes spok-3 without interference in spite of the interdict. Any attempt to arrest . the women In the temper of the as semblage probably would have resulted in a dangerous situation. Addresses denouncing the govern ment's Interference with the right of free speech were made by several mem bers of Parliament. A letter from George Lansbury, former Socialist member of Parliament and now amlli- tant leader in the suffrage cause, who was bound over yesterday in the sum of $10,000 to keep the peace, was read. demanding the right of free speech at all times.
