In his speech the venerable states- n.tintsri nut that while it was the unanimous desire of the people of his countrv to reach a satisfactory settle ment of the dltference. undoubtedly It i,A .crnmnllshed bv peaceable means, and the relations between the two countries have been sucn m tne past as to preclude the possibility of any but an amicable settlement.

And It Is a duty and a right to cla'm equal treatment by the American people, as any European ira "The whole of Japan, the govern ment, the political partiea and the commercial bodies la unanimously en .i...mrinir to unlve this California ques. tlon peaceably. And It seems to me r - . i the- Japanese government Is fully com petent to settle this difficulty satis factorily. There Is absolutely no need to pack up your things in order to go back to Japan In fear of something happening. California Is only one part of thia great country after alL For tunately for you, you have the sym pathy of the Fedetral Government and a greater part of the citizens of this country. Even In California you have a great many supporters and sympa thizers. "I always have admired the American people for their - greatness for their justice and fair play. With these qual ities in mind you must wait patiently. Attend to your worjt and business Just as usual without any fear. You are now as though on a ship upon a stormy sea.

TOKIO PUESS IS 3IOJJERATE Desirability of Removing- Cause of IU-Feellng; Emphasized. TOKIO. May 22. The Tokio morning newspapers agree that the question of the alien land ownership legislation In California has entered on a second, more difficult and more important stage, since it Is directly between the Japanese and American governments. They warn the public against thought less agitation, pointing out that this would now be interpreted aa being di rected against the American Nation and not California alone. The situation, they aver, demands the most careful and most conscien tious treatment of both sides, lest It lead to deplorable consequences. The balance of opinion Is thai as Washing ton has gone on record in opposition to the legislation It Is reasonable to expect that the American Government will exert further efforts to nullify It. The Hoohi Shlmbun says: "Should Washington fall to carry out thia obligation the responsibility for. any estrangement would lie with that administration." Other papers emphasize the urgency of determining the causes and sources of the anti-Japanese feeling in the United States and the desirability of efforts to remove them.

The aspersion rouses them to fury and in their anger they may driva their government to perilous lengths. "The gravity of the situation has a close personal interest for ourselves. It'would be distressing to find our American kinsfolk in a serious conflict with our Japanese allies upon an issue In which the Americans would command the sympathies of Canada and Aus tralia.

The Japanese people as a whole do not con sider the reply of the United States to their diplomatic representations re garding the California alien land law as thoroughly satisfactory, according to cable advices received from Toklo tonight by the Japanese New World, a local newspaper. The cable goes on to say that from unofficial sources It is reported that the answer does not coincidex with the Japanese view of the relations of the alien law to tne treaty agreements between the two countries. However, says tne report, the Jap anese government has a sincere desire to continue friendly relations witn tne United States and solve the question In some peaceful manner. Dr. Saburo Yamada, professor or tne Imperial University at Toklo. It is learned from the same source, said today that If the United States Gov ernment had a desire to solve the ques tion it should amend the existing nat uralization law. , IS OKEGOX SE.VA TOR'S OLD ALASKA MEASfRE IS ATTACKED.

Representatives of the Guggenheim Interests in Seattle .pf that the bill referred to by Delegate Wickersham in Washington today granted rigm-oi-way to couueci the Copper River and Northwestern Railway with a spur line running to the Bering River coal fields from Mile i .and that It did not affect their holdings at Cordova.

CHANGE IN TARIFF BASIC (Continued From First Page.) waa taxing oils used exclusively in per fumes and like luxuries, while as a matter of fact many oils Included are not used In perfume but In laundry soaps. This, they argued, would put a tax on the "poor man's soap," a result which the committee did not contem plate. W. H. Walthams of New York, made one "of the arguments, and he urged also that duty on laundry soap in the Cnderwood bill, 6 per eent. was too low. He said the manufacturers were willing to stand a. reduction but thought It should not go below 10 per cent ad valorem. Sogavr Argumeata Presented. Senator Stone's sub-committee was at work all day on the. woolen manu facturers' schedule, while the sub-committee headed by Senator Williams took up the sugar schedule and listened to pleas from Louisiana and Porto Rico cane growers for a higher duty than promised In the Underwood bill. Henry P. Pharr, president of the Louisiana Cane Growers' Association, made the argument for the growers of his state, and promised to file a more extended statement. Senators Thorn ton and Ranadell and many planters listened to his statement and added thoir comment for the committee's in formation. According to Mr. Pharr, the American Sugar Refining Company, the "sugar trust" would be the main bene ficiary under the Underwood bill. He asserted that factories of Louisiana would be turned Into useless junk and that the sugar growing lands of his state -would lose millions of dollars if Congress agreed on free sugar. He said there were thousands of small sugar growers in Louisiana and insisted that the Industry was not in the hands of a few big planters. WUaon Promise Asserted. Mr. Pharr told the committee that neither President Wilson nor the Demo cratic platform had given the people of Louisiana reason to fear free sugar. He said the President had telegraphed a positive refusal to approve free sugar to the Collector of the port of New Or leans. V Asked by Senator Williams If the cane growers could not turn their lands over to the cultivation of other prod ucts. Mr. Pharr argued that investiga tion had nroved that in no other way (could the lands be made so profitable. Comparative Digestibility of Fo Made with different Baking Powders From a Series of Elaborate Chemical Tests: An equal quantity of bread (biscuit) was made with each of three different kinds of baking powder cream of tartar, phosphate, and alum and submitted separately to the action of the digestive fluid, each for the same length of time. The relative percentage of the food digested is shown as follows: Bread made with Royal Cream of Tartar Powdert 100 Per Cent Digested Bread made with phosphate powder; 68 Per Cent Digested Bread made with alum .powder: 67-& Per Cent Digested! These tests, which are absolutely reliable and unprejudiced, make plain a fact of great importance to everyone : Food raised with Royal, a cream of tartar Baking Powder, is shown to be entirely diges tible, while the alum and phosphate powders are found to largely-retard the digestion of the food made from them. - Undigested food is not only wasted food, but it is the source of very many bodily ailments.
