OTHERWISE, HE IS FOR JAPAN WASHINGTON. D. a, April 29. Secretary Bryan's proposition to the Californians to suspend the passage and application of anti Japanes legislation until the president has had an opportunity to negotiate a new treaty with Japan io replace the convention of 1911. is believed to repre ss nt the ultimate concession which the administration is willing to make in deference to public reeling in Cali fornia. The secretary's statement that in event of the passage of legislation in d fianc of the president's advice, he would feel obliged to do everything pobsible to "minimise the ill feeling that may be aroused" is regarded here as marking a purpose on the part of the government to become an inter tenor with the Japanese in any suit which they may bring before the fed ' ral courts to nullify the action of the California government. Assuming that one of the questions that Mr Bran has transmitted to the prtsident on behalf of the California legislature is regarding the probability of negotiating a new treaty with Japan and just how such a convention could be framed to meet the views of '"aiifornia without being objectionable to Japan, it ma be said that such a method of settling the present issues already has been given some consider ation The existing Japan treaty was in tended to meet a temporary need in quieting the unrest on the Pacific coast over the school question. Neither party has been satisfied with its work ings, and it is remarkable for its omis sions, compared with the other treaties of trade and commerce. Mttore MeeiM With Cabinet. Whin the cabinet assembled John Bassett Moore, acting secretary of s-tace, was initd bv the president to sit in the place of Mr Bryan. It is a lare occasion whtn an acting head of a department sits with the cabinet and -usually he is sent for only for a brief period while the business of his depart ment is considered. Mr. Moore stayed. -rinuaiiy inrougnout tne cabinet meet ing, which was taken as an indication that the Japanese question took almost the entire time of the president and his adiisers. Mr. Moore, who is an au ihontv on interactional law. has given considerable study to the international Phases of the alien land question in California. Slexlce SjitHBtlon Discussed. While the cabinet discussed the sit uation in Mcxiw to some -extent, the. principal subje-1 under consideration nas the attitude or the California legis lptnre towards Mr. Bryan's proposals. No messages were submitted by the I resident to be sent either to Mr Bryan r the California authorities, and mem bers of the cabinet said no conclusion had been reached. The view was ex 1 ressed, howei er, that the administra tion would not recede from its position i- described b Brian to the Califor nia legislature. In the event of a rejection of those ssreaions, cabinet members felt that the Japanese government would realize tt-at the government at Washington had clone everything in its power to prevent discrimination. Thfre were intimations that some of the members of the cabinet reported a --owing sentiment for a more eareful imesutr-Uion into the anti-alien law. Confer With ArabaHMader.

Four former police inspectors, charged indirectly with graft ing and directly with conspiring to obstruct justice, faced district attor ney Whitman today at the opening of the most important police trial here since the Becker case. The de fendants Dennis Sweeney, ames K. Mussey. James F. Thompson and John J. Martha were indicted recently af ter the district attorney's office had uncovered a system of corruption con connected with disorderly hotels. The men are charged with conspir ing to keep out of the state George A. Sipp, a hoteikeeper. whose confession to paying blackmail money to the po lice forms the basis of the prosecution. Confession by Policemen. Out of the graft revelations that followed the convictions of Becker and ioiioweo me couvicuons oi iwcnw ana them policemen. Confessions came to district attorney Whitman with start ling regularity, immunity offered to certain small fry make it possible for the district attorney to gain their con fessions, and these led to the indict ment ' of Sweeney, Hussey, Thompson and Murtha. The indictment on which the four former inspectors go to trial first charges them with a misdemeanor, or which they may get one year in Jail, in having conspired to keep a grand jury witness out of the state. Sipp Confessed to Paying Police. The grand Jury witness was patrol nian Eugene Fpx, formerly attached to the staff of inspector Sweenej. Fox was accused of grafting and consented to confess to Mr. Whitman. He was subpenaed as a grand jury witness, after which, it is alleged, the four in spectors conspired to bribe him to re main away from the jurisdiction of the local courts. Ntr. loner after the conviction of lieu tenant Becker and the gunmen, George Sipp, former proprietor of a notorious hotel, appeared before the aldermanic investigating committee ana tola a story of having paid $100 monthly graft for five years to policeman Fox, who he said, toid him he gave the money to inspector Sweeney. Sipp's partner in the hotel corroborated his statements. Paid to Remain From State. Policeman Cox was arrested and con fessed. Efforts were made to induce both J?fex and Stpp to stay out of the state. Sipp did go to Atlantic- City, but he returned when the district attorney sent for him, and told Whitman that money had been given him to stay in Atlantic City. Edward J. Newell, who had been at torney for Sipp, was arrested charged with inducing a grand Jury witness to leave the jurisdiction, and was indicted on the testimony of Sipp. and the lat ter"s son and wife. Newell, then con fessed, and his confession made pos sible the blanket indictment of the four inspectors. Bribery Is Alo Charged. Sweeney is under 14 indictments, all of which charge bribery, except the one on which he has been placed on trial. The others are each under three indictments, two of which charge bri bery. In addition to the confessions of Sipp, Fox and Newell, the confession of captain Thomas Walsh, who was ???J'??X,mJliityLekto probably will be der the other three inspectors, had overthrown .within two weeksT said much to do with their downfall.

This feeling was strengthened on Monday when orders were received for him and his men to proceed to Chihuahua on a campaign against the rebels. Headed by Col. Maximo Cas tillo, who but a few days ago, while in Juarez, declared his loyalty both to Salazar and the federal government, over 200 of Salazar's men refused to make the trip to Chihuahua." Instead, they took their rifles and ammunition and proceeded up the North Western railroad as far as Sata Pedro, where they helped themselves to saddles and horses on the ranch of the Corralttos company, an American owned property.

Salazar is left with nearly 400 men, for Castillo declared at that time that there were over o0 troops in Casas Grandes. and Salazar had com mand of them. With the remnant of his command.

Plans Include Raising Leas burg Dam and Enlarging Main CanaL POWER DEVELOPMENT IS IMPORTANT FACTOR RECLAMATION service engineers hare approved a high line canal for the irrigation system of the Mesilla valley. This recommendation Includes plans for raising the Leasburg dam, the en largement of the present sain canal and the development of approximately 1,204 cubic feet of water per second, which is the amount required for ir rigating the 90,000 acres in the Mes illa Talley, including the Picacho dis trict, the west sice district and all of the valley land on the east side of the riTer. This means that power development in the Elephant Butte project will be an important factor in the economic life of the valleys, as the main canal is to be located so that it will per mit of the greatest area of power be ing developed, including a drop of 75 feet in the canal which will develop a mamimum of 4,000 horsepower and an average of 2,300 horsepower. The plan for the high line canal in cludes construction of the canal so that the flood waters from the arroyas will be cared for and the construc tion of structures which will take care of this rainwater discbarge. The canal will be located and all permanent structures built so that it may be en larged at a later date. Bngineer Lawsoa Makes Statement. This information was given out Tuesday by L. M. Lawson. project en gineer of the Elephant Butte project, who said- "Plans have been considered for the irrigation of the 80,000 or 90,009 acres in tl- Mesilla valley, one of which is known as the low line canal and the another the high line canal, in gen eral, the former contemplates the canal construction in the bottom lands of the valley without drops of any consid erable capacity, while the latter plan provides for the location of the main canal with a light grade on the mesa slope with several drops permitting power development and an increase in area which can be irigated. "The field work, surveys and ex aminations of the condition of the ground has shown that the high line canal was difficult and expensive, due Jn most part to its location, where provision must be made for the pass age of a large amount of rainwater in the arroya. Considering the increased- area, possible- te -aerve, hew ever, and the availability for lease of the power drop, the high line canal commends itself for construction over the other plan. Detail of the Plan. "The irigatltSn system which now meets with the approval of the board of engineers of the reclamation ser vice which recently made a study of the construction plans for the Mesilla valley is as follows: "To raise the height of the present Leasburg dam, enlarge the now con structed short length of main canal, making it possible to develop a maxi mum of approximately 1200 cubic feet of water per second, this being the required amount to irrigate the 90,000 irrigable acres of the Mesilla valley, which includes the Pichacho district the west side country and practically all the valley land on the east side. The main canal is to be located so as to permit the greatest area of power being developed and a location will be adopted that will permit of the enlargement of the canal at a later day. "All fills and structures will be of sufficient capacity to carry the dis charge of the enlarged canal. A drop will be located at a convenient point south of Las Cruces which will per mit the amount of water in the canal at this point being dropped 75 feet, developing a maximum of approxi mately 4,000 horsepower and an aver age of 2,300 horsepower. "The operation of the canal of this capacity along the mesa edge, where its line will be crossed by a great number of arroyas -will be the most difficult feature of the plan and the construction work calls for a number of expensive and interesting structures to provide for the rainwater discharge, which must be taken into considera tion. Power For Bight Months. "The quantity and duration of this power depends on the water used for irrigation or in otner words the max imum power is developed at a time when the maximum amount is being (Continued on Page 4.)

Mr. Smith believes the appropriation will be addeo. to the bill without difficulty. Other senators have stated that no additions will be made to the bill. Defer Action on Canal Tolls. By a vote of 13 to 1 the senate canal committee decided to put over to the regular December session of congress all Questions of Panama canal tolls, in cluding the amendment of senator Root to appeal the free passage provision of the Panama law. Senator Brandege voted against it. Before the vote was taken senators pointed out that the Democrats were committed to a tariff and currency legislation at the extra session and they would have enough to do to legis late on those subjects. The overwhelm ing vote by which the committee agreed to the motion -was taken to indicate that there woula be no action on the tolls question for several months un less president Wilson chooses to exert his influence to have it reopened. Some senators considered it doubtful if the president could cause them to change their mind unless there were new and pressing developments in the negotiations between the state depart ment and the British foreign office. Tariff Bill Read In Hease. The Democratic tariff revision bill advanced another stage in the house, when the reading of the measure, par agraph by paragraph, was begun.

In the closing debate on the tariff bill in the house l&st night, representative Chandler, of New York, Pro gressive, advocated the reduction of certain tariff dues and re plied to representative Heflin. of ' abama, who, he said, had called Theo dore Roosevelt "the wild man from Africa," and in the same breath had invoked the spirit of Andrew Jackson to guide the deliberations of a Democratic eongress. "Jackson once killed a roan namou Charles Dickinson in a duel." said Mr Chandler. "He threatened to hang Cal houn as high as Haman. tried to horse whip Thomas Benton, challenged Gen WinfieM Scott to a duel; overran Flor ida, and had two eminent British mei han&ed, thereby nearly bringing ui Into a war with Great Britain ar !

The sen ator and his colleagues expect to confer -with president Wilson and the tariff framing committee of both, houses of congress in the near future. "We have no doubt," said the state ment, "that the viewpoint of the west will be fairly considered.
