(.By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, May 22.—With the
answer of the United states to its pro
test in hand, it now devolves upon the
Japanese foreign office to take the next
step in the negotiations over the Cal
ifornia land act,
It is expected that the forthcoming
rejoinder to Secretary Bryan will be
strongly argumentative and calculated
tu result in the conduct of the future
negotiations on a strictly legal basis.
As it is understood that the state
department is leolng to the Japanese
government or some Japanese citizen
to test the new law Ity recourse to
the -United States court it **tiay be sig
nificant of the drawing of another Is
sue that the Japanese are believed to
be reluct.) to begin such a move
ment.
In hie protest of May 9 to the state
department, the Japanese ambassador
Is understood to have made it per
fectly clear that Japan, finding it im
possible to deal directly with the
state of California was relying en
tirely upon the federal government to
Insure what he believes to be fair
treatment for its subjects.
Probably that contention will be ex
tended to cover the legal test of the
California land law, though the ordi
nary procedure in such cases would be
to allow a Japanese subject, threat
ened with escheatment of his lands,
to begin action by application for an
injunction.
Meanwhile it is expected that sev
eral days will elapse before the Japan
rejoinder is received, in view’ of the
fact that ten days were taken for the
prepaartion and delivery of the Amer
ican reply to the original protest.
Secretary Bryan late yesterday after
noon handed Ambassador Chinda the
reply of the United States government
to the Japanese protest against the
California alien land legislation. The
ambassador immediately cabled it to
Tokio. No intimation as to the nature
•of the reply was given out.
Upon learning, through press dis
patches, that Governor Johnson had
signed the Webb land act, Secretary
Bryan telephpned Viscount Chinda and
Invited him to come to the state de
partment to receive the reply which
ho had been anxiously awaiting since
the presentation of his own note,
May 9.
When the answer had been delivered
the secretary and the ambassador con
ferred earnestly for an hour regarding
the general aspect of the problem. Of
course opinions expressed were tenta
tive, as for his part the ambassador
felt that he must be guided entirely
by the directions of the foreign office
at Tokio, and he could only surmise
what might be the attitude of the of
ficials at home.
Meanwhile it was understood that
both the Japanese protest and the
state department’s answer would be
withheld from publication for the pres
ent at least on the ground that it would
be injudicious to submit the delicate
questiorts at issue to heated discussion
in the newspapers and at possible mass
meetings. The negotiations between
the two governments are expected to
proceed in regular fashion, without
further reference to what takes place
in California.
Viscount Chinda dispatched the state
department’s reply to his government,
and it is assumed that several days
may elapse before the next step is
taken.
In view of the understanding between
the two governments regarding with
holding of the correspondence from
publicity none of the officials at the
White House, the state department or
the Japanese embassy cared to indicate
the nature of the Japanese objections
or of Secretary Bryan's reply.

“LIKE MAGIC”
New Food Makes Wonderful

When a man has suffered from dyspep

then hits on a way out of trouble he
may b* excused for saying “it acts liks

V\ . i Is a simple, wholesome food
Ins: .... of any one of a large number of
so called remedies in the form of drugs,
he la more than ever likely to feel as
tti jugh a sort of miracle has been per
formed.
A Chicago man, in the delight of re
stored digestion, puts it In this way:
"Like magic, fittingly describes the
manner In which Grape-Nuts relieved me
of poor digestion, coated tongue and loss
of appetite, of many years’ standing.
“I tried about every medicine that was
recommended to me, without relief. Then
I tried Grape-Nuts on the suggestion of
a friend. By the time I had finished
the fourth package, my stomach was all
right, and for the past two months, I
have been eating with a relish, anything
eet before me. That is something I had
been unable to do previously for years.
"I am stronger than ever and I con
sider the effects of Grape-Nuts on a weak
stomach as something really wonderful.
It builds up the entire body as well as
the brain and nerves.” Name given by

WASHINGTON, May 22.—Neither the
senate nor house was in session today
and consideration of the tariff bill had
passed from the senate floor to the
finance committee where it will remain
at least two weeks.
Chairman Simmons announced that
the sub-committee considering the va
rious schedules would not be ready to
report for several days.
One committee is at work on the
wool schedule, another is considering
protests against cuts in the cotton
goods rates, and a third today gave
a hearing to Assistant Attorney Gen
eral Denison and Assistant Secretary
Curtis, of the treasury department, w r ho
proposed amendments to the adminis
trative features of the bill.
Among changes they advocate is one
to give the secretary of the treasury
the right to proclaim general valua
tions of imports, irrespective of foreign
markets, upon which to base advalorem
tariff rates.
Democratic leaders in the senate
were indorsed late yesterday in their
determination to refer the Underwood
tariff bill to the finance committee for
consideration without public hearings.
The Penrose-LaFollette amendment di
recting that public hearings be held
was defeated by a vote of 41 to 36, and
the motion of Senator Simmons to re
fer the bill was then passed without a
roll call.
Two democrats, Senators Ransdell
and Thornton, of Louisiana, voted for
the republican amendment. Senator
Poindexter, of Washington, Progressive,
voted with the majority. Senator
Jones, of Washington, Republican, who
pjreviously had determined to vote
against public hearings, announced
that he had changed his mind because
the finance subcommittees were giving
private hearings to some interests
which he thought should be public.

tef visit the Empire State of the South

JURY REFUSES TO SIGN
VERDICT JUDGE ORDERS
(By Associated Press.)
MEMPHIS, Term., May 22.—Judge
and jury clashed In .the second divis
ion of the criminal court here yester
day and as a result a verdict acquit
ting a man of the charge of murder
was made a part of the court record
without the signatures of the jurors.
C. E. Murrell, railroad fireman, was
o n trial charged with having murdered
Moss Todd and murderously assaulted
the latter’s son. Presiding Judge Pal
mer ruled that the evidence showed
clearly that Murrell acted in self de
fense and directed a verdict of not
guilty.
“Suppose we do not think he is not
guilty?” suggested several of the
jurors.
“But I do,” replied the court. “Write
your verdict accordingly.”
After a hurried consultation with
members of the jury, Foreman Cooney
refused to write the verdict.
Judge Palmer explained that he
could permit no other verdict to stand
In view of the testimony.
“You have a right to your opinion,”
retorted Cooney, still obdurate, “but
you are not he keeper of my con-
sicence.”
Finally, however, the verdict was
written, but the jurors carried their
point to the extent of not affixing their
signatures.
On another charge, of carrying con
cealed weapons, Murrel was quickly de
clared guilty. He was released under
bond pending an appeal.

WASHINGTON, May 22.—President
Wilson today sent for Representative
Sisson, of Mississippi, and urged him
not to make any speech that would of
fend the sensibilities of Japan.
Mr. Sisson, who recently made a
“war speech,” had given notice of his
intention to speak in the house Friday
on the legal phases of the Japanese
alien land question. He had a twen
ty-minute conference with the presi
dent during which, however, he as
sured Mr. Wilson that he would not
discuss the pending negotiations or
touch on anything of an incendiary
character limiting himself to an argu
ment on alien land ownership.
That was the White House version
of the conference, though Mr. Sisson
h.mself declined to make any comment,
declaring merely that he would speak
Friday.
The president is known to be anx
ious about discussion in congress at
this stage of the Japanese question,
especially involving any observations
on racial discrimination.
It is indicated at the White House
that the American not© just sent, and
the tenor o' future exchanges, will be
to assure oapan that the majority of
Americans have a genuine respect- and
admiration for the achievements and
character of her people. Public ex
pressions that might give an opposite
impression .are regarded at the White
House, at this time as seriously em
barrassing the negotiations between
the state department and the Japanese
ambassador. t

tle was being fought.

HER PUNISHMENT
VERY^SEVERE
Mrs. Chappell Says That Her
Punishment for Five Years
Was More Than Anyone
Could Ever Tell
Mt. Airy, N. C.—In a letter from this
place, Mrs. Sarah M. Chappell says: “I
suffered for about 5 years with womanly
trouble, also stomach trouble, and my
punishment was more than any one
could ever tell.
Several doctors had treated me, and I
hod tried most every kind of medicine
I could think of, but none did me any
good.
I read one day about Cardui, the
woman’s tonic, and I decided, to try it. I
j .iad not taken but about six bottles un
til I was almost cured. It did me more
good than all the other medicines I had
tried, put together.
My friends began asking me why 1
looked so well, and I told them about
Cardui. Several are now taking it.”
Are you a woman? Do you suffer
from any of. the ailments, due to woman
ly trouble, such as sleeplessness, nerv
ousness, weakness, and that everlasting
ly tired feeling?
If so, let us urge you to give Cardui
a trial. You have everything to gain,
if it helps you, and we feel confident
it w’ill help you, just as it has more
than a million other women, in the past
half century.
Begin taking Cardui today.

According to a ruling made by the
state court of appeals Tuesday in the
case of Albert Norman versus L. F.
Rehberg, a deputy sheriff of Colquitt
county, a judge has no authority to
suspend a sentence imposed by him
self or by another Judge. Only the j
governor can change a sentence after
one ha© been declared.
Norman pleaded guilty in the city
court of Moultrie on August 14, 1911,
to the charge of larceny and was sen
tenced by Judge J. D. McKenzie to a
fine of $50 and costs and eight months
in the changang, the sentence of eight
months to be suspended upon the pay
ment of a fine and pending good be
havior.
An accusation charging a new case
of larceny against Norman was sworn
out in the city court in July, 1912,
whereupon Judge McKenzie ordered that
the defendant be taken in custody and
made to serve his original eight
months’ sentence.
Norman filed a writ of habeas cor
pus, alleging that he had never been
convicted of the second offense charged
against him and that he had not
known of the charge until he was re-
arested. His petition was denied, and
he appealed to the state court of ap
peals, which held that the judge was
without power to suspend the sentence
in the first Instance and that he must
serve it.
Plot of Guggenheims
To Grab Alaska Land
Is Bared to Senators
WASHINGTON, May 22.—Delegates
Wickersham, of AlasKa, startled the
senate territories committee today by
declaring that Senator Chamebrlain, a
declaring that Senator Chamberlain, a
member of the comittee, had inadVer-
previous congress which would have
turned over to “the Guggenheims” ab
solute control of the harbor of Cordova
and the entrance to the Bering river
coal fields. *
“There was a little inoffensive look
ing bill introduced in congress, I be
lieve you were the author of it, Sen
ator Chamberlain,” said Wickersham,
“giving the right of way to the Gug
genheims from Mile Twenty-five on the
Copper river road to Three Tree point.
You did not know what that bill meant.
It passed the senate but when it
reached the house I killed it. If it
had passed it would have given the
Guggenheims title in fee simple to all
of Cordova harbor and they would
have had a monopoly like that of Mr.
Ryan on Controller bay.”
Senator Chamberlain made no reply.
Mr. Wickersham told the committee
that the Morgan-Guggenheim syndicate
had Alaska “by the throat.”

MACON, Ga., May 22.—The case of
Colonel W. A. Huff, charged with con
tempt, following a letter written to
United States Judge Emory Speer, was
called in the federal court Tiiesday
morning at ten o’clock.
Judge W. I. Grubb, of Birmingham,
is presiding. District Attorney Oliver
D. Street, will prosecute the case.
Two of Colonel Huff’s sons, Walter
and Edison, have come from other stated
to be present at the hearing.
The defendant will not have any wit
nesses, but Judge Speer has summoned
a number in his behalf. Mr. E. Y. Mal
lary was summoned by wire from St.
Louis, where he was attending the Bap
tist convention.
Attorney General T. S. Felder, will
represent Colonel Huff.
There is tremendous interest in this
case in other parts of the state as well
as in Macon and it is believed that there
will be a considerable out-of-town au
dience upon the trial. As the federal
courtroom only accommodates several
hundred persons, hundreds are turned
away. Last year, at the arraignment
proceedings the doors were closed after
the courtroom was filled.
