Herman Millner, member of ' the legislature from Dodge county and author of the law, stated that he would do all In his power when the legislature meets this summer to in stitute a thorough investigation of the enforcement of this law, on the Idea that the collections were only a fraction of the anticipated amount.

"Pending the refunding or satl» faction of the indebtedness in ques tion" the debt commission’s lettei said "the commission assumes thaf the United States may feel assured that no action will be taken by your government with respect to any of its Indebtedness heretofore or hereafter •incurred which will result in placing the United States in a less favorable position as a creditor that that which It now Occupies.’’ The paragraph was regarded as making it clear that the United States j intends to retain the priority of its obligations where such priority ex ists and that It will accept no second jliens that may result from shifting finnncial arrangements in the reon ganlzation of any foreign govern/ meat’s debts.

SENATEVOTESDOWN JAPANESE MEASURE JAPANEST THREAT ROUSES THE SENATE TO SHOW ANGER AND RESENTMENT TO MAKE EXCLUSIIN DEFINITE Temper Os Legislators Indicates Easy Passage for Definite Exclusion Clause In Allen Bill Washington. —The senate, roused to fever heat over the effort of Ambas sador Hanihara of Japan to influence immigration legislation, has voted to abolish the "gentlemen’s agreement” iwhich has been in force since 1907, and is expected to insert a provision jin the immigration bill which will ex clude Japanese by law. Under the “gentlemen’s agreement” Japan was allowed to carry out ex clusion in Japan, without any inter ference by this country. The portion pf the new immigration bill providing I continuance of the "gentlemen’s agree ment” was defeated by the Benate by a vote of 76 to 2, at the end of a suc cession of heated protests against the action of the Japanese ambassador, which was characterized as “veiled l threat” by Senator Lodge, Republican Reader, and Senator Reed, of Pennsyl vania, a member of the immigration •committee, and bitterly assailed by (Other senators. ; The senate now has before it an amendment offered by Senator Short- Tidge of California which would det i jlnitely exclude Japanese by law.

There he made an effort to have con sideration of the section and a vote taken behind closed doors, but the i motion was defeated and the open ses sion was resumed. In the debate on the measure there were many heated outbursts, one sen ator after another protesting that con tinuation of the “gentlemen’s agree ment” after the letter of the Japan ese ambassador would threaten the sovereignty of the United States.
