Japanese Ambassador Presents Ob-
' Jections of His Gorernment In
. , Detail Administration
Reply With Promptness.
to
. WASHINGTON. May 10. Secretary
,Sryan formulated tonight a message to
Uovernor Johnson, of California, setting
forth the representations of the Japa
nese government and the views of the
Administration here as to what was
considered discriminatory in the Webb
'antl-alten bill, passed by the California
Legislature and now awaiting- action by
!the Governor.
' : Mr. Bryan conferred with President
"Wilson for an hour, discussing' details
of the formal protest filed by Ambassa
dor Chlnda. It was decided the Secre
tary should frame a communication to
.Governor Johnson, but the nature of it
'.was not disclosed. Mr. Bryan said the
message would not be sent tonight. He
probably will confer with the President
tomorrow before dispatching It.
FmuU Reply to Be Drlared.
; Secretary Bryan conferred with the
Japanese Ambassador immediately after
.the conference with the President, but
'It Is believed lie merely advised him of
-the intended course of action. Formal
.reply to the Japanese protest probably
will not be made by the State Depart
ment nntil some answer Is received
from Governor Johnson as to his action
'on the bin.
The report that spread In official clr.
eles tonight was that Secretary Bryan
jwould urge the California Governor to
'refer the bill back to the Legislature
'for modifications that would meet the
Japanese objections. There is a well
founded belief that if Governor .Thn
son refuses either to veto the bill or
recommend modifications California
friends of the Federal Administration
would attempt to invoke the referen
dum. the interval being used to obtain
am understanding diplomatically with
Japan or perbaps to frame a new treaty
Covering disputed points.
CMada Calls oa Counsellor Moore.
; Secretary Bryan's conference with Am
bassador Chlnda today lasted an hour.
At its conclusion Viscount Chlnda paid
a short visit to Counsellor Moore. No
statement was forthcoming as to what
bad taken place, but It Is known that
having presented the views of his own
a-overnment in objecting to the Cali
fornia legislation as well as that of
Arizona, the Ambassador Vlthdrew to
await a formal answer from the State
Department.
.- It is evident that there is no dispo
sition to delay the question, and it ap
peared to delay the question of Secretary
Bryan to give to the Japanese Am
bassador a prompt assurance of what
his government might expect the
United States to do about the legisla
tion Japan considers offensive.
graphs. Mr. SInnott discussed the status
of Senators Chamberlain and Lane
while the wool schedule was up. He
at that- time offered an amendment,
which the House promptly voted down,
proposing to place manufactured wool
on the free list if raw wool Is also to
be free. In the course of his remarks
Mr. SInnott said: "Mr. Chairman: In the
amendment which I had prepared I in
serted a clause requiring all woolen
manufactures to be put on the free
list. - My object in doing that was to
accentuate the comparative favoritism
shown to the woolen manufacturers In
the Underwood bill; not that I am will
ing to strike down in retaliation the
woolen manufacturer because the wool
ralser is put upon the free list, but in
order to focus the attention of the Na
tion and the people of my district upon
the fact that the woolen manufacturer
In the Underwood bill Is favored to the
disadvantage of the woolraiser.
"Mr. Chairman, representatives of
the woolen manufacturers appeared
before the committee on ways and
means urging free wool. On the other
hand, they claim that they will be
satisfied with the 50 per cent ad val
orem duty upon the manufactured
article. You have given them by this
bll within 15 per cent of what they
demanded. Yet you have absolutely
rejected the claims of wool raisers for
protection. You have Inferentially said
that the woolen manufacturer is only
15 per cent illegitimate and the wool
raiser Is 100 per cent illegitimate.
"Mr. Chairman, the state which I
represent, the State of Oregon, has
been generous with the Democratic
party under the Oregon system. Be
cause the Republican legislators kept
their pledges to statement No, 1 you
now have two Democrats In the United
States Senate from the State of Oregon,
an overwhelming Republican state.
(Applause.)
'"These two gentlemen, Mr. Chair
man, in the last campaign canvassed
the great sheep-raising districts of
eastern Oregon. They placated and
allayed the fears and the apprehen
sions of the wool raiser with Iteration
and reiteration of that plank in your
platform that no legitimate Industry
would be injured. Oh. what a sweet
sounding phrase that then was on the
great sheep ranges of Eastern Oregon I
And now what has It become? It was
then plain and unambiguous, but now
it Is so abstruse, so recondite, a verita
ble Delphic oracle of double meaning
when Interpreted and expounded In the
light of the Punic faith of the philolo
gists of the ways and means committee."

GRAVES MUSIC CO. TAKES NEW LEASE
THE JONES MARKET BUILDING, ON FOURTH STREET, SECURED FOR TEN YEARS
The growth of the Graves Music Co. reads like a fairy tale. This firm was started by
Fred W. Graves in a very small way something like 15 years ago, at 285 Alder, in a small
shack of a building 16x50, with a very small stock of pianos, instruments, etc Their first
order of small musical instruments from a Western wholesale firm amounted to only $150.
Now, in 1913, after being in business 15 years, and starting from a comparatively humble '
beginning, they are about to move once more, raising the incorporation $150,000 capital, and
as room in their present location is so inadequate to the needs of their business, the growth
of which has been most phenomenal, they have leased this large four-story cement building
at 149 to 151 Fourth street, near Morrison, where they will be amply equipped to take care of
their large and steadily growing trade, both wholesale and retail.

BUTTER MUST BE BRANDED
Dairy Commissioner Makes Plain
His Recent Ruling.
J. D. Mlckle, Oregon Dairy and Food
Commissioner, is anxious to explain
his recent ruling regarding the brand
ing of country butter offered for sale,
which must be branded with the pro
ducer's name and the weight . Contained.
Mr. Mlckle says that often country
butter Is bad and also short In weight
and that there is no way to trace the
person responsible for the same unless
the rolls or squares or nutter are oranu
ed. On account of this the farmers who
produce good butter must suffer with
the others. Those who produce good
butter but have failed to stamp their
product are not known, and It is impos
sible for the dealers to tell which they
are when they are ready to buy a new
supply.
REFORM -AGITATES1 POLAND
Benefits of Russian Towns Regard
ing Self-Government to Apply.
ST. PETERSBURG, May 10.-
(Special.) Important questions of
principle are being raised in the debate
in the Council of the Empire on the
bill for the reform f municipal gov
ernment in Poland on tne basis of the
Russian municipal government law of
1892. The benefits of this charter of
the Russian towns, especially regarding
self-government, are to apply, with
local adaptations, to Polish towns. The
nroceedings of town councils may be
conducted In the Polish language. The
chairman is to furnish a Russian trans
lation of declarations in Polish if so
desired by any member. 'Police con
trol generally Is to be removed, and
SDecial concessions are accorded to
Warsaw. These provisions, which were
recommended by the committee, have
been practically accepted by -the gov
eminent.
In the general discussion on the first
reading various members opposed the
proposal to sanction tne f'oiisn lan
guage on the ground that a uniform
lane-uas-e was a powerful bond of
union. M. Shebeko, on the other hand,
contended that the authorized use of
the Polish language wo'uld more than
anything help to draw Poland closer
to Russia, Although Poland a century
ago ceased to be politically independ
ent, it should not be treated as if it
had no separate existence of its own.
The history of the Balkan states was
eloquent of what oppressed national
ities wese capable of. In view ot re
cent events it was not in the interest
of Russia to do anything to discour
age the Poles from turning fo her as
their hope 'for the future. A few days
ago the possibility of a conflict be
tween the Slav and German worlds was
adduced by a responsible statesman as
an argument for Increasing the Ger
man army. For Russia there was only
one answer to see to it that If this
conflict ever arose all the Slavs were
on one and the same side.
Baron Rosen, the former ambassador
at Washington, advocated a broad-
minded" policy for the frontier region's,
based on intelligent sympathy with
local needs and susceptibilities.. Only
thus eoul'd voluntary allegiance, the
true bond of union, be created. The
existing balance of power was not a
permanent guarantee of peace. This
balance might be disturbed by a pro
gressive Increase of armaments. The
frontier population should be inspired
by a sense of solidarity with the Rus
sian people in order that, if a universal
conflagration broke out, the whole em
pire might be ranged under the ban
ner of the exalted ruler who stood for
union, the might, and the glory of
Russia.
