CHIN DA TO SEEK BRYAN Returning Secretary, However, Will Want to Confer With President and Probably Will Seek to Delay Conference, WASHINGTON. May 7. First among Secretary Bryan' callera when he reaches Washington from Sacramento tomorrow morning; probably will be Viscount Chlnda. the Japanese Ambas sador. It has been assumed that the Ambassador has been awaiting an op portunity to deliver personally to the Secretary of State a protest from his Government against the California alien legislation, but it is believed now the first effort of the Ambassador will be to get from the Secretary some idea of what the Administration proposed to do after Governor Johnson signs the land bill, as it is generally expected he will do. Before answering this Question, how ever. Mr. Bryan must report and confer with President Wilson regarding bis California mission, so he probably will suggest that his conference with Vis count Chlnda be postponed for a short time. New Treaty Suggested. It is well understood that the effect of this will be simply to delay the pres entation of the Japanese protest, unless Secretary Bryan is able to suggest some means of dealing with the present phase of the question that will make the protest unnecessary. It has been suggested that this might take the form of -a proposal to negotiate a new treaty to replace the one of 1911. which has been unsatisfactory to both parties.

Some of the legal minds of the Ad ministration have coma to the con. .h.inii th If the California law ii contested In tnte courts, the case must rest not on the existing treaty, which they say the IsCw does not technically violate, but on the broad principles 01 International la. No treaty specifically describe all of the rights which an alien may enjoy In the country of his residence and In the opinion of some of the International lawyers the disregard or violation of a right common to all civilized peoples Is as much a discrimination as a wilful disregard 'of a treaty provision. fendants, as private individuals and not in any way connected with the banks named, had loaned Mr. Lay mno .

"The Boston & Maine has outstand ing 124.600.000 of short-term notes which. In natural course, it will have to meet during the coming year, and yet It Is about to pass its dividend, and It Is doubtful whether It can meet its fixed charges. The New Haven's affairs are managed In the same reck less fashion., It has notes to meet within tne next eigni momns aiooum-Ina- to between forty and fifty million dollars. Such, management would be condemned in a wildcat mining scheme. Its management has been characterized by recklessness that Is appalling." The criticism of Mr. Brandeis was met by statements of Charles F. Choate. Jr., personal counsel of Presi dent Mellen, of the New Haven, who, while admitting that large prices had been paid for some of the properties constituting the New Haven system, declared the action of the directors al ready had been Justified fully in some Instances and. he was certain, would be Justified tn all by time. Public Demand Improvements. Expensive Improvements, he said, had been made by the roads to meet the demands of the publio. Referring to Mr. Brandeis as "a minority of one," Mr. Choate said that criticism of the New Haven was rapld ls waning in New England as Its opera tions had become better understood, and he drew smiles from the Commis sioners and from Mr. 'Brandeis as well, by saying of him: "He has superb destructive talents, but not a single constructive Idea ever haa emanated from him to the benefit of our New England public" NEW RULE IS PROBABLE FIELDER'S CHOICE MAY MEAN HIT IN COAST LEAGUE.

Catarrhal troubles are far more dan gerous than they seem at first thought If you have catarrh, usually Indicated by sniffling, stopped-up head, drop pings in throat and morning choking, there is an Irritated state of the mu cous membrane which affords an Ideal lodgment and culture medium for dis ease germs, especially those of con sumption. Do not allow the dangerous germs which may be breathed into the throat and lungs to begin their work of de struction. The easiest, simplest, quickest surest and cheapest way to check catarrh Is by the direct method, breathing Hy omei. . This wonderful medicated air treatment does not drug and derange the stomach, but is breathed in through the Hyomei inhaler, directly follow ing and 'destroying all disease germs that may have been Inhaled, and heal ing and vitalizing the tissues of the throat nose and lungs so as to render catarrh and all other germ Infections no longer possible. The unusual way in which Hyomei Is sold by druggists Is the best evidence of confidence in the treatment and should dispel any doubts as to Its cura tive properties. They are authorized to refund the purchase price to anyone whom Hyomei fails to benefit so you do not risk a cent in testing Its heal ing virtues. A complete outfit costs but J1.00.
