REPLY TO JAPAN'S
PROTEST AWAITED
Bryan Receives Formal Com
plaint "on California's Alien
Land Bill.
ANSVfER EXPECTED TODAY
ViMn and Cabinet, However, Con
sider Document as Calling for De
liberate Treatment Xature
of Objections Kept Secret.
WASHINGTON. May 9. Negotiations
between America and Japan regarding
the California land legislation were
formally initiated today, when Secre
jary Bryan had two meetings with the
Japanese Ambassador at- the State De
partment. While there had been a
number of exchanges between the two
officials since the inception of the Cali
fornia legislation until today, they had
been informal and based upon the de
sire of the Japanese government to
.avert an open issue.
Todav. however, in anticipation of
the consummation of the legislation,
.the Japanese government handed in Its
formal protest, which was considered
by the Government and the Cabinet and
found sufficiently weighty to call for
deliberate treatment. So it was ar
ranged that Viscount Chinda again
should meet Secretary Bryan at the
State Department at 9 30 o'clock to
morrow morning, by which time the
Secretary may b In a position to give
an answer to the communication.
The nature of the Japanese objec
tions only can be surmised, as. by mu
tual agreement, the parties to the con
ference refrained from discussing It.
' After his second short conference
with the Japanese Ambassador. Secre
tary Brvan departed for New York to
deliver a speech at a banquet there
tonight on the subject of peace. Intend
ing to start on his return trip at mid
night, in order to keep his engage
ment wtth the Ambassador tomorrow
morning.
PEACE SERMONS INVITED
fin-man Preacher Appealed To as
Result of Army Bill.
BERLIN. Uy - An appeal to
preach and teach International arbi
tration was sent today to all the pas
tors of Germany by a body of loo
German Protestant clergymen in con
nection with the bills, recently intro
duced into the Imperial parliament for
the Increase of the German army.
In the appeal It Is pointed out that
the Increasing burden or armaments
Is driving the nations toward war.
The signers express regret that only
n Insignificant proportion of the
Protestant clergy publicly advocates
International peace, although they
declared that this would be in accord
ance with Christianity. The clergy as
a rule they say leaves thia task to the
Irreligious adherents of social Demo
cracy. RECOUNT AIDS HARRIMAN
Socialist Likely to "Win Place on Los
Angeles Ticket.
LOS ANGELES. May 9. A mistake
In vote-counting discovered today may
change the political situation here In
connection with the Mayoralty election
next month.
At the primaries last Tuesday John
Hhenk, Progressive candidate, and H.
U. Rose, Independent, obtained places
on the ticket, while Job Harriman. So
cialist, was eliminated. Today's re
rount discovered an instance where
Rose has been credited with 932 votes
which should have been credited to
Harriman. As Rose's vote by precincts
was 21.137 and Harrlman s 20,153, to
day's Increase for Harriman. If at
tained throughout the entire official re
count, will give the Socialist a place on
the ticket.

An attack directed against Governor
Hatfield in connection with the coal

vide that they be brought to trial, but
orders that they be arrested and con
fined in the county Jail as long as
necessary or until farther orders from
the Governor.
The men left for Charleston without
protest and without making an appeal
to the civil courts. No demonstration
occurred.

Ada Rehan Laments Commercial
Greed of Managers of Today.
NEW YORK. May 9. (Special.)
Abnnrd the American Line steamship
Philadelphia sailing today, was Miss
Ada Rehan, whose name was potent on
the American stage two decades ago.
Miss Rehan said "she was going to
pass five months in England and that
her movements after that depended on
"whatever whim seizes me."
"The stage has degenerated sadly in
recent years," she said. "This decad
ence Is due to the managers, who have
nn eve for art but only for box-office
receipts end who force Inferior pro
ductions on the public because they
are cheaper and the net receipts will
be greater.
"There is plenty of good talent
among the actors and actresses of to
day, but It Is undeveloped under the
spirit of frank commercialism which
the managers diSDlay. Nor does the
public give to Its favorites the love
that was once accorded to Mary Ander
son, for instance. The public goes to
the theater to be amused only and
views the stage people only with curi
osity." LANE WILL VISIT CROWS
