Protesting Exclusion,
Japanese Slays Self
Before U. S. Embassy
TOKIO, June I.—(By the Associ
ated Press.) —A Japanese assigning
himself a “nameless subject of the
mikado” Saturday ended his life in
the wide-open snace in front of the
ruins of the American embassy in
Akasaka Ku. the most fashionable
residential section of Tokio, as a
protest against the enactment of
Japanese exclusion legislation by the
American congress. ’
The Japanese, apparently 40 years
of age, dressed in the formal cos
tume of a Japanese gentleman,
whose name the police say they have
not learned, took his life by hara
kiri, using a short Jananese sword.
He left a letter addressed to the re
tiring American ambassador, Cyrus
E. Wdods, which the latter informed
the police they might keep.
The letter read as follows:
“I appeal by my death to all
America, through Cyrus E. Woods,
the American ambassador, who is
Returning shortlv to his home, and
who knows and svmoathizes with
the Japanese stand. I ask all Amer
icans to stop and reflect. My hope
is that they will hear mv appeal
for repeal of the exclusion clause.
"I’ve been surprised and wounded
that Americans advocates of human
ity, have disregarded the consider
ations of humanity bv enacting this
law. WhenKmen are humiliated they
are unable no suppress their anger.
I am a Japanese. Japan has been
humiliated by your country In the
eyes of other nations without any
reasons we are able to understand.
I w*uld rather die than live to hate
youajountry.
“■ter death I will study the
teacWings of brotherly love we have
received from America and await the
judgment of Jesus Christ in this
matter. I pray for the cancellation
of exclusion which has so affronted
the Japanese people.”
Tn a letter addressed to the Jap
anese people which has not been
njade public, it is understood the
suicide urged the nation to rise to
avenge the action of America.
Howell-Barkley Bill
Reported Favorably
By Senate Committee
WASHINGTON. Mav 31.—The
Howell-Barkley bill, proposing sub
stitution of national arbitration
boards for the railroad labor board,
was reported favorably today by the
senate interstate commerce commis
sion.
' The measure, declared by the Re
publican insurgents in both senate
and house to be one of the items
upon which action will be sought
before adjournment, has been vigor
ously opposed by the carriers.
The favorable committee vote was
taken immediately after the return
to Washington of Senator La Fol
lette, leader of the insurgents. Cut
ting his vacation short by two days,
he participated in the meeting of the
committee, called to consider the bill
which his intimates described as one
of the most essential pianks in his
political platform.
« The committee eliminated the “fed
eral receivership amendment'' which
had been inserted by its subcommit
• tee. This would have authorized the
president to institute a suit for a
receiver whenever a strike or lockout
threatened a national transportation
crisis.

Charles Page, Rich Through
Oil, Establishes Unique
Charity Enterprise on Out
skirts of Tulsa. Okla.
SAND SPRINGS, Okla., May 31.
As an orphaned boy almost 60 years
ago, Charles Page with his finger :
traced in the sands of a cornfield
Stevens Point, Wis., the plans ;
for a model city dedicated to serve 1
humanity.
Today the boy, now grown to man- >
hood and wealthy through millions I
of dollars amassed from oil, sees a ‘
realization of his. immature dream •
in .this utopian town he • founded ;
just seven miles from the outskirts j
of Tulsa.
Sand Springs, the city as Page in
tended it to be, is built about what ‘
is probably the. most charitable or- I
ganization of the United States. \ ;
The nucleus of its life is the Sand ■
Springs home, an institution estab- |
lished to shield orphaned boys and I
girls from some of the hard knocks i
which Page had experienced mos(.
I of his life. -j
Sand Springs home owns outright
more than 12,000 acres of fat farm- I
ing land.
It dominates and controls a stand- |
ard gauge electric line running from :
! its door to Tulsa, runs a. water and [
! gas company, owns innumerable j
spouting oil wells, operates a cotton ;
mill costing $3,000,000, sells electric j
power to surrounding cities and has i
its corporate hand mixed ’ip in nu
merous other enterprises and utili- I
ties.
Revenue in Millions
Altogether, Sand Springs home is |
perhaps the wealthiest institution
and power in Oklahoma.
Its holdings and revenue run up !
into the millions every year.
The hundred boys and girls shield- j
ed by its broad expanse of modern j
buildings enjoy all the comforts and '
privileges of guests invited for a
permanent visit to some palatial
country estate.
And Sand Springs home asks
nothing in return save that, they
fashion themselves into good men
and women.
The institution operates more like
a. large family and does not smack
in any wise of institutional air.
There are parties, vacations, and j
time for recreation in model play- i
yards equipped with every conceiv- i
able kind of apparatus from swim- ;
J ming pool, to swings.
Likewise there is no drudgery |
: about the home, for all work is per- j
formed by electrical servants com
manded by the institution’s own
power plant.
Colony for Aged. Too
Anyone who pleads the cause may
carry away bacon, flour, cheese and
other food products from the home's
well lardered refrigerator for the
asking.
In Sand Springs, the home main
i tains a. widows’ colony. Here wid
i ows and couples too old to work, may ,
bring up their children with all
sustenance provided free by the
I home.
Page, the nian who made all this
; possible, is loath to talk about him
I self.
j “Sand Springs Home is in the
, world to serve but one purpose,” he
“It exists to destroy selfishness.
■ the greatest curse of man.”
Pag-e made his last stand and leap
ed to fortune when almost 50.
The jinx of hard luck and poverty
; that had pursued him since boyhood
trailed him still into the. switchyards
and roundhouses of frontier railroad
towns.
It followed close on his heels into
the lumber and mining camps of the
; Sierra Nevadas and Rockies and the
j cattle ranches of the great plains. 1
This pathway finally brought him
! to the Indian Territory in 1900 along
, with a band of adventurers.
Just south of the Kansas line Page
' halted and drove his tent peg to take
one last chance.
His first drilling attempt was re
warded by oil.
The first well was followed by
! others, and soon Page, the dreaming,
j orphaned boy. had th* millions
i which made his early dream come
HOTEL MAN SHOT
AT TYBEE ISLAND
FIGHTS FOR LIFE
SAVANNAH, Ga., June I.—A. L.
Poindexter was struggling for his
life today, the victim of a shooting
in the lobby of his fashionable Hotel
Tybee on Tybee Island.
Poindexter was shot in Qie stomach
and seriously wounded following an
argument with B. H. Rawls, night
clerk whom he had just discharged.
The argument resulted in a brief
struggle and was climaxed by two
revolver shots which caused a near
panic in the lobby wheer the Geor
gia Bar association delegates were
assembling and a dozen wealthy
guests were loitering.
Poindexter was rushed to a hos
pital where the fight to save his life
was still under way tonight. Rawls
was arrested and held pending the
outcome of Poindexter's wounds.
Rawds came here from Dublin,

METNDDIST UNION
WARMLY FMM
BY BISHOP MOUZORi
NASHVILLE, Tenn., May 31.
Bishop Edwin I). Monzon, chairman
of the commission on unification for
the Methodist Episcopal church,
south, today gave to the press the
following interview on the essential
features of the plan of unification to
be considered at the special session
of the general conference which will
meet in Chattanooga July 2:
“In a recent interview given the
public press, my distinguished col
league Bishop Warren A. Candler,
writes as follows concerning the ac
tion of the general -conference of
the Methodist Episcopal church n
approving the plan of unification of
American Methodist:
“ ‘The plan gives the Methodist
Episcopal church (north) so much
advantage over our church that most
naturally they leaped to seize the
prize which, they thought they saw
in sight, apparently forgetting all
other considerations.’
“This statement from the pen of
our honored bishop does not result
from a study of the plan. It has no
relation to anything in the. plan. It
cannot be supported by one single
argument. The plan itself, in its en
c.-re conix nej <] i ,n ( is in di-
rect contradiction and denial of the
statement made by Bishop Candler.
The Voice of the Church
“Tn Bishop Candler's opinion,
northern Methodists are not fit peo
ple for southern Methodists to eon
sider uniting with in the work of the
Kingdom of God. He plainly says
that they are not of the right 'spirit.'
Well, unfortunately for the good
bishop, he is out of harmony with
his own church. The Methodist
Episcopal church, south, speaking
through three successive general
conferences, has declared in favor
of unification.- The general con
ference of our own church meeting
in, Oklahoma City in 1914, initiated
ttfe** present movement for unifica
tion and appointed a commission to
negotiate with the northern church.
The general conference of our
church, meeting in Atlanta, Ga., in
1918, expressed appreciation of the
work of the commission and in
structed the commission to go on
with its work. The general confer
ence of our church, meeting in Hot
Springs in 1922, went even further
and expressed 'warm appreciation of
the faithful efforts of our commis
sion on unifidati6n to bring to pass
on a proper basis the unification of
• the Methodist Episcopal church and
k the Methodist Episcopal church,
south,’ and gave to our commission
full liberty to ‘work out new plans
of unification.’ I submit that when
three successive general conferences,
composed from time to time of the
most and
laymen in the church, speak with
one voice touching the unification of
Methodism, we may be perfectly sure
that we have heard the voice of the
church. It is tv he regretted, there
fore, that Bishop Candler finds him
self out of sympathy with the will
and purpose of southern Methodism.
The will to unify our Methodist
forces is fixed and settled, and the
bishop had as well prepare himself
for the inevitable.
•v Southern Plan
Having been for three quadren
niums. a. member of the commissions
on unification, and knowing perfect
ly well what went on in the meet
ings of the commission, I may be
pardoned for letting out a secret.
The plan which is now before the
two churches is, as a. matter of fact,
a southern plan. The essential prin
ciples contained in it were suggested
by the southern members of the joint
commission. If we reject this plan,
we will reject our own plan of uni
fication. Three southern men had
most to do with writing this plan.
. during the last quadrennium,
I when negotiations wore halting,
(Judge H. H. White, of
La., draw from his pocket .a. paper
which contained a broad outline of a
plan very much like the one now
under consideration. Nothing came
of it at that time. Later when the
present commission settled down to
work, Dr. Paul H. Linn presented
. a. piper of some length setting forth
ilhe same principles, and Dr. T. D.
Ellis offered a paper suggesting a
plan embodying the same general
scheme. .Upon the basis of these pa
pers, the joint commission built the
plan which has been approved by
two-thirds of each commission, and
by an almost unanimous vote of the
general conference of the Methodist
Episcopal church.
Judge Candler’s Speech
“In this connection. I quote from
the memorable speech made at the
Hot Springs general conference by
Judge John S. Candler, of Atlanta,
Georgia:
" ‘I believe that the greatest thing
that could be done for the Methodism
of the world, the greatest thing for
the Church of God in the world,
would be a joint effort by these two
great churches to get togefner for
the purpose for which they were or
ganized. ... If two-thirds of your
commission, two-thirds of their com
mission, and two-thirds of their gen
eral conference adopt it (a plan of
unification) don’t you think you are
ready for a meeting down here? . . .’
“Earlier in his speech, Judge Can
dler had said:
“ 'Before any action shall be called
for on the part of the general confer
ence of each church, two-thirds of
each of these commissions voting sep
arately, piust agree on a plan of uni
fication by reorganization. T feel
very much tonight like saying to
these brethren wljat Lincoln said to
a commission once on a great occa
sion when the two great sections of
our country were divided. Ho said:
“If you let me write union at,the
bottom of the page, you ma>’ write
anything above it.” (See Daily Ad
vocate. paae 177.)
Southern Conditions Met
“The fact nf the business is, south
ern Methodists laid down certain
conditions, and thes° conditions have
now been met. Here are the facts.
The plan itself is in a. peculiar sense
a southern plan. We ourselves said:
'The nlan must first he approved by
two-thirds of each commission vot
ing separately.* It has been so ap
proved. Then we said: ‘Before we
vote on it. the general conference of
the northern church must approve
it by a two-thirds vote.’ It has been
approved by them by an almost unan
imous vote. What if southern Meth
odism should now book off. and quit,
and fail? Then should we be put to
shame before the Christian forces
of America and of the world. And
this shall not be I
.“Very briefly, now. T wish to In
dicate what semens the essential fea
tures nf the plan are:
“1. The general conference e* the
united church is to hew bi-cameral
body, composed of the two general
conferences sitting separately in the
same auditorium and voting separate
ly. And no measure can be passed
bv the northern jurisdiction without
the approval of the southern juris
diction.
“That the Methodist Eoiscona’
chi;* h. with two million more mem
bers than the southern church,
should be wil'inc to s’ eh an ar
rangement is the most mnsmanimous
thine tn the historv of turn pov-n

M’ADOO STANDS IN SIGHT
OF NOMINATION, RANDOLPH
SAYS, AS VOTES PILE UP
"Mr. McAdoo continues his
triumphant march toward the Dem
ocratic presidential nomination,”
Hollins N. Randolph, chairman of
the Georgia McAdoo delegation and
prominent southern McAdoo leader,
said in a statement Saturday sum
ming up the McAdoo situation.
“Mississippi, with her 20 votes,
can be definitely added to the Mc-
Adoo column,” he continued. “The
Underwood forces in that state made
a vigorous fight for an instructed
delegation. His campaign there, as
elsewhere, was a dismal failure. The
Mississippi state convention not
only refused to instruct their dele
gation but adopted the unit rule,
which means that Mississippi’s 20
votes will go to McAdoo on the first
ballot, because at least 16 of the Mis
sissippi delegates are outspoken Mc-
Adoo supporters.
“The first ballot of the conven
tion will be one of the most inter
esting in the history of the Demo
cratic party. There will be presented
the names of at least 16 candidates,
counting 13 favorite §ons in addi
tion to McAdoo, Smith and Under
wood. After the complimentary "bal
lots have been cast for the favorite
sons will come the real tug-of-war
between McAdoo, Governor Smith,
of New York, and Senator Under
wood, of Alabama. Although Sena
tor Underwood is not generally clas
sified as a favorite son, the indica
tions are that several admitted
favorite sons will have more votes
on the first ballot than Senator Un
derwood.
Predicts Early Victory
“Based on accurate information
and a deep study of the situation
in all its phases, I confidently pre
dict that on the first ballot McAdoo
will have very nearly a majority of
the convention. That he will be the
logical choice of a majority, if not
all of the favorite son delegations,
is evident from an examination of
those states.
“Well posted men believe that
when. Senator Robinson’s name is
withdrawn as the favorite son of
Arkansas, the 18 votes of that state
will immediately swing into the Mc-
Adoo column.
“Certainly the 20 votes of Kansas
will go to McAdoo when the compli
mentary vote of Kansas has been
cast for Governor Davis of that state,
because the Kansas state convention
indorsed McAdoo.
“West Virginia’s 16 votes will go
plan will enable them to carry out
their scheme of disintegration and
absorption!' The fact of the business
is our northern brethren say to us
in effect: ‘So fully do we trust you
that we leave it to you to say what
our larger body shall do in all mat
ters that touch the work of connec
tional Methodism.’ Let this be fully
understood. The northern jurisdic
tion, under our nlan of unification,
can do nothing whatsoever in the
south without the consent and ap
proval of a majority of the southern
delegates in the general conference.
As to Deadlocks
“Again, it is objected that there
will be the ever-present danger of a
deadlock with a general conference
composed of two houses with a gen
eral conference composed of two
houses which must vote separately.
In answer, I remind the objector
that we do not often have a. dead
lock in the congress of the •United
States. And I further remind the ob
jector that in the original southern
plan, approved by the general con
ference of 1914, something not alto
gether unlike this was proposed. It
reads as follows:
“‘We suggest that the general
conference shall consist of two
houses. . . . All legislation of the
general conference shall require the
concurrent action of the two houses.’
“The original thought of the
southern church was that this would
prevent hasty legislation. And much
more will the present plan prevent
hasty legislation. Indeed, it will
make it impossible for the general
conference radically to change any
thing. And while this general con
ference moves slowly in effecting
changes, everything that is in the
discipline of the southern church
stands exactly as it now is and can
not be changed in any particular
unless we ourselves change it.
“2. According to our plan of unifi
cation, the Episcopal oversight of
thefwork in the two jurisdictions re
mains precisely as it now is without
any change whatsoever, so far as
local administration is concerned.
“The two colored bishops elected
on a separate ballot and exclusively
for the presidency of colored con
ferences in the northern jurisdic
tion, will go on with the work for
which they were chosen, having
nothing whatsoever to do with our
work in the south.
“Northern bishops, elected by the
northern jurisdiction and for the
northern jurisdiction, will continue
to serve the northern jurisdiction.
“Southern bishops, elected by and
for the Southern jurisdiction, will j
continue to serve the Church of the [
South. Bishop Denny will continue
to live in Richmond and be a
staunch southerner, while Bishop
Candler resides in AtlaYita and con
tinues a steadfast Georgian.
“There will be just this advantage
and gain. Once a- year the Bishops
of the two jurisdictions will meet to
gether and discuss the work of the
whole church. And if the College of
Bishops of the southern jurisdiction
should invite a northern bishop to
do so, a bishop from the northern
jurisdiction might come south and
preside over a conference; while
Bishop Candler might go to New '
England and hold an annual confer- ;
ence meeting in Boston, if the north- 1
ern bishops should invite him to do |
so.
Overlaping
“3. I now call attention to the
greatest advantage to be derived
from the unification of Methodism,
namely, the stoppin* of the present
sinful waste of men and money in j
that part of the country where the ‘
two Methodisms overlap.
“Unification means little to Metho
dists living in New England, so far I
as its immediate effect on them as I
individual is concerned. The average
Methodist living in Georgia does not |
' very day face the foIJK - and shame I
of wasting men and spiritual ener-j
gies in duplication and competition.
But Methodists in Missouri, and Ok-1
lahoma, and Kentucky, and West I
Virginia, and where the Holston '
conference of the Southern Chiiroh I
and the Holston conference of the '
northern church work side by side. I
not to speak of the Far West these |
Methodi«ts have had enough of this |
sort of thing. And they are not go- I
ing to put up with it any onger for i
the simple reason that they are peo- I
pie of sound business sense. I am '
profoundly convinced that in ail :
these sections of the country, a |
divided Methodism is a sin. It can i
no longer be justified either before i
man or before God.
‘Note carefully how our plan of i
unification will put a stop to this
kind of th* l thing:

to McAdoo after complimenting John
W. Davis with one or more ballots.
“Virginia’s second choice will cer
tainly be McAdoo, after compliment
ing Senator Carter Glass, because
of the pronounced support Senator
Glass has given McAdoo.
“Nebraska’s 16 votes will go to Mc-
Adoo as their second Whoice after
complimenting Governor Bryan as
their favorite son.
“At least 20 of Michigan’s 30 votes
will go to McAdoo as their second
choice after complimenting Senator
Ferris.
“Notwithstanding the boss rule of
Illinois, McAdoo will get at least 10
or 12 of the delegates from that
state.
Big Delegations Split
“Thus at a glance it will be seen
that early in the balloting, McAdoo
will have so nearly the requisite two
thirds majority that nothing can stop
him. Inasmuch as Jhe big delega
tions of New York, Pennsylvania, Il
linois, Ohio and Massachusetts, do not
vote under the unit rule, McAdoo
will be joined by many delegates
from those states who are his warm
friends and supporters.
“It will not take many ballots to
put McAdoo so near the two-thirds
majority that Indiana with her 30
votes can put him across the line.
That this will happen is not doubted
by close observers, because of the
warm friendship between McAdoo
and Ralston. They are admirers of
eaeh other, their friendship is of long
standing, and they recently confer
red and dined together in Washing
ton in the utmost amity.
“When it is understood that Geor
gia’s native son will have practical
ly a majority on the first ballot,
when it is seen that he is the logical
J second choice of most of the favorite
‘ son delegations, and when it is re
membered that Wilson, on the first
ballot at Baltimore, had only 321
votes, we can rejoice that we stand*
already in sight of the realization of
our cherished ambition to place a
Georgian in the White House for
ti e first time in American history.
“Georgia should be proud of the
historic and momentous part she
played, in placing Mr. McAdoo in his
present, dominant position. His re
sounding victory in the state of his
birth on March 19 was heard
I throughout the nation. It marked the
' beginning of a triumphant march
j which is certain to carry him to the
| White House.”
conference by one jurisdiction with
in the bounds of the other jurisdic
tion. For it is plainly stated in the
contract that no new annual con
ference, mission conference, or mis
sion can he organized by a juris
dictional conference except ‘with thq
approval of the general conference.
Which is to say that the northern
jurisdiction cannot organize any new
work in the south without the con
sent of the majority of the.south
ern delegates in the general confer
ence. For one, lam entirly willing
to trust the majority of delegates
i*rom my own jurisdiction.
‘2. And furthermore, such work is
j now in competition with better or
| ganized and stronger churches, will
I soon be absorbed. For it is certain
that there will be one united board
of missions for unified Methodism.
It is ‘written in the bond’ that all
the work on the foreign field is im
mediately to be consolidated. And it
is also written that general confer
' ence of the united church shall have
power ‘to govern any enterprises
which may be agreed upon as being
of a connectional character.’ The
nine bishops on the unification com
mission who favor unification, in the
address prepared by them in the
name of the commission, had the fol
lowinff-fo say byway of explaining
the above item:
‘ ‘lt will be immediately evident
that the evangelization of needy
fields here in America, both in our
cities and in our rural districts, does
constitute an enterprise which is
connectional in character. The sug
gested plan, then, will give each
jurisdiction the opportunity of study
isdictions will address themselves to
the one task of giving the gospel to
the lost in the home field.’
Joint Mission Board
“Overlapping and duplication and
waste and competition will soon
cease when a joint board of missions,
governed by the general conference,
which governs only by the majority
vote of each jurisdiction, studies the
whole needy field and votes appro
priations only where they are most
needed and will do hte most good.
“3. And besides all this, when we
have one. church, with one name,
working in one interest, the very im
pulse and desire for competition will
be taken away. For why should
united Methodism wish to compete
with itself?
“Another thing I wish to say. It
is only official pressure that has kept
the two Methodisms apart for so
many years. Southern Methodists
going north, find themselves per*
fectly at home in the Methodist
Episcopal church there; while north
ern Methodists coming south, find
themselves equally at home in the
southern church. We are already
one people. And in all the border
states where the two churches work
side by side, our distressed Method
ists (north and south) are anxiously
waiting for those in authority to
give the word, so that a. union may
be properly effected. Bishops and
connectional men have held back
this union too long already. Our
people are not going to be held back
any longer. Some of them have al
ready spoken. Presently we shall
hear the others. And they will speak
with a voice which will .ake itself
heard.”

HUM BELIEF BILL ;
TEST VOTE POINTS
TO CERHIN DEFEAT
WASHINGTON, May 31.—Defeat
of the McNary-Haugen farm relief
bill was forecast tonight when its
opponents forced adjournment of the
house just when a final vote seemed
near by a vote of 180 to 136.
Throughout the afternoon and ear
ly evening, farm bloc leaders expe
dited consideration of the bill defeat
ing all amendments and overriding
the persistent efforts of opponents to
filibuster.
On account of the absence of 50 or
6P eastern members known to be op
posed to the bill, farm leaders saw in
today’s session the only possible op
portunity to pass the bill.
For a long time they resisted all
attempts to postpone a final vote un
til next week when the absentees
would be present, and pressed for
ward anxiously with consideration of
the measure.
Opponents, however, finally round
ed up sufficient of the absent ones to
restore the majority against the bill
and the house adjourned immediately
upon completion of the reading.
The vote will now come Monday.
