TO BRYAN HIE Ambassador Shatters All Court Customs in Haste to Object to Alien Bill. WASHINGTON, May 8.

The Secretary of Stale returned from California shortly before noon. Fifteen minutes' after lie had arrived at his uptown residence the Japanese Ambassador called and asked to see Mr. Bryan. The representatives of the Wash ington and the Tokio Governments were closeted together for more than half an hour, and while neither would discuss the interview, it became known that the Japanese protest against the alien land laws o!U had been filed. Secretary Bryan promised Viscount Chinda that his objections to the bill would receive full consideration at the hands of this Government and that they would he brought to the atten tion of the President and the Cabinet ' The Japanese representative also was assured that everything possible will be done from Washington to pre vent the enactment of any law con trary to the treaty obligations of the United States, even were it necessary to carry the matter to the Supreme Court.

' The S« cretary informed the Presi dent that he does not think there is any use in appealing to Governor Johnson not to sign tin* bill or in de pending upon a referendum to nulli fy its provisions. The Secretary’s advice to the Chief Executive was to bide his time and await the action of the courts which will be tailed to pass upon the con stitutionality of the law. The Secretary thinks that there arc flaws in the bill which the court can use to nullify its provisions, and thereby prevent any difficulty with Ja pan. It is expected that the President will telegraph Governor Johnson aft er the Cabinet meeting to-morow a last appeal not to sign the bill for the sake of the nation at large.

Pinkertons Find No Foundation for Report of Lunch Room Helper’s Disappearance. Harry Scott, of the Pinkertons, Haiti Thursday that the information obtained bj his agency to the effect that a Greek helper in a restaurant had disappeared following the killing of Mary Phagan had proved baseless so far as he was able to determine. "It was a blind clew," he said. “We were unable to find that any one was missing from the restaurant. Neither were we able to locate the supposedly missing person in Annis ton, Ala., where* our information said he was." In discussing the alleged myste rious disappearance of one of his em ployees shortly after the discovery of the murder of little Mary Phagan, tills morning. George Pappas, pro prietor of the Busy Bee Cafe at Hun ter and Forsyth Streets, said that there was no basis for any rumor in volving anybody in his place. “There was no one working in the restaurant at the time of the murder except my brother, Stamates Pappas, and myself, and, as you can see, we are both still here,” he said Girl Not Known There. “Furthermore, instead of amyone going away, we have just hired an other man to wait in the cafe. He came here last Saturday and is still here. “So far as the pencil factory and the murder of the girl is concerned I do not know anything about it at all. I didn't even know the girl by sight. Once in a while sofhe of the girls came in heie to get a little lunch, but I didn’t know' any of them by name and could not say positively that they worked over there at all. “I have never been in the pencil factory but twice in my life—once on the Sunday the girl was found dead and once before that to get some dishes that had been sent over there with some lunch for one of the men at the factory.” When asked about the practice of sending lunches into the factory or the possibility of anyone in his em ploy getting familiar with the interior of the plant, he said that they very seldom sent anything over there, for the reason that they only had two men. and that the orders usually came at about 12 o’clock when they wera too busy in the cafe to send orders out. Pappas, telling of the movements of himself and his brother at the time of the murder, said: "My brother left here about 7:30 o'clock in the evening to go and take a sleep, for the next day was on 1 Easter, and vre had to go to church that night and be up the greater part of the night, and he was supposed to open up the cafe in the morning. “I closed up the place about 11:30 o'clock and went out for a little while I came back and took a bath and dressed and at about 1 o’clock in the morning my brother came by for me and we went to the church to the Eas ter service. “He came back here earlier than I did and was in the restaurant and the place was open when I reached here shortly before 8 o’clock. I had not been here long before someone 3 came in and said ttiat something had happened over at the pencil factory. I went outside and asked a policeman, who was standing there, what the trouble was and he told me that something had happened over at the factory that they did not understand —that a robber had been there and killed someone. Frank There for Cup of Coffee. "Later on I heard that it -was a girl found dead in the place and went over to see. I went in and looked around for a few minutes and saw Mr Frank and some of the other em ployees in there, but I didn’t stay in there long, because they made every one get outside. “Of course. 1 don't know anything about it, and all I hope is that they will catch the man that did it." Asked if any of the employees of the pencil company had been in his place immediately following the dis covery of the body, Papnas said that Mr. Frank had been in there about 8 The American-Georgian Pony Contest Vote Coupons Hearsi’s Sunday American and Atlanta Georgian PONY CONTEST VOTE COUPON, THURSDAY.

From the Grecian Vice Consul in Atlanta, The Georgian is in receipt of the following letter, which it prints gladly in justice to a body of citizens of whom the city has always been proud: To the Editor of The Georgian: Referring to the article pub lished in yesterday’s Georgian that a Greek is trailed in Annis ton, Ala., on suspicion that he is connected with the terrible as sassination of poor Mary Pha gan. I beg to express my deepest indignation, not so much for the mere fact that a Greek is sus pected, as for the off-hand con clusions of the "Pinkertons" that a Greek must be the guilty- party who committed this atro cious deed because the crime it self bears the style of the Medi terranean criminal. This accusation Is of such a nature and so unjust to the coun try I have the honor to repre sent that you will allow me to place a formal and strong pro test against any allegation of this kind. It is the first time that I ever heard that strangulation is com mon in Greece. I think that be fore so detrimental a statement is published you ought to have taken into consideration statis tical information from the courts of Greece and not entirely rely upon the suppositions of any de tective agency. Yours very truly. DEMETRE VARIABLE. Vice Consul. Tne article referred to was pub lished in line w-ith The Georgian’s policy to give its readers all the news and merely as the theory of detectives.
