WashiiiKton, Jan. 24.?An addres by Baron Makino, the Japanese For eign Ministe* to the Parliament o Japan today Mined the status o negotiations over the California aliei land legislation and declaring that tlv Japanese Government "had come t< see the necessity of considering sonv other ways for solution of the ques tlon" because the replies of thi United States had not been fount satisfactory, -was cabled in full fron T/vlr l/v * V* ** f * *vmu w vur E*111 OHRHy Here The address which was not com mented upon in official circles an nounced that the third note of protes presented by Secretary Bryr.n Augus 18, remained unanswered. The text of the address, made pub lie by the Embassy tonight follows li part: "In the State Legislature of Call fornia bills of anti-Japanese charac ter regularly have been introduced a its sessions for more than 10 year past. Thanks to the good officers ear nestly exercised by the United State Government and thanks also to prop er stps opportunely taken by th pepole and Government of Japan nothing of serious moment did for tunately occur, but at the fortletl session of the Legislature which as sembled last year a bill known a the Webb bill, aiming at prohihitioi of ownership of real property b; Japanese was passed by an over whelming majority. "The new act places Japanese on j different footing from other alien and the main point in dispute be tween the two countries has been tin discriminatory treatment rcsultlni from this act. The imperial Govern ment thought it neeesary to call spe cial attention of the new Adtninl tration to the matter and instruce* our Ambassador to seek an interviev which was given by the President 01 March 5. In the interview the Am unsniiuui i t-quesieu HIHIIT instruct ion of his Government that the new Ex ecutlve would considering the friend ly relations of two Nations, mak< best efforts to stop the tlireatene< legislation. The President thanke< the Ambassador for the representa tlon and stated that although th< Federal Government could not in terfere with rights reserved to State he would not hesitate to use the bes possible efforts so as to realize thi wish of the Imperial Government. Ii California also our consul used hi best efforts In accordance with ou instructions. Many Americans whi hold due regard for justice and In ternational good relations volunteret their hearty co-operation In utilizing all means to bring the question to i satisfactory concluson. "However the situation change* rapidly and the passage of the anti Japartese bill seemed to be more as sured. Then Viscount Ohinda ha< an Interview with the Secretary o State on the twelfth of April and on< with the President on the fifteenth o April. The Ambassador asked tha more efforts be made to prevent th< passage of the bill. Tloth the Presi dent and the Secretary of State re spoinled that they fully appreciate* the wish of the Japanese Governmen anil that lilthnmrh the rleht to irrjin land ownership lay entirely within tin Jurisdiction of the State the Ameri can Government was determined t( use all means to bring about a solu tion. "On the eighteenth of April tb< President directed the Secretary o State to telegraph to the Coverno of California advising him to change the ternio of the bill ana not to us the formula of 'eligibility to citizen ship* for the purpose of drawing i distinction in the matter of enjoymen of right. More telegrams follower this. In the meantime, the Ambaa sador held several interviews wltl the Secretary of State, explain tag repeatedly that the bill was con trary to the principle and spirit o the treaty. "The President then decided t< send the Secretary of State to Call fornia. The Secretary appeared li joint sessoins of the tw'o houses o the Legislature to explain personal!: the request of the Federal Govern ment and to present its suggestions Despite all available efforts used b; me Meoreiary or ^rare, me uoverno and members of the Legislature strictly adhererd to the principle tha the lights of the State must not b< interfered with and the bill was pass ed. "Upon passage of the bill the Iro perial Government instructed thej Ambassador to hand on the tenth o May to the Secretary of State thei first protest. On the eleventh of Ma: the Secretary of State wired to tb Governor of California, apprising hip of the receipt of the protest, and ex pressed the willingness of the Preai dent to nse his good.offices to brim about the desired solution of the aliei land ownership problem. "The Secretary of State handed b Viscount Chinda a reply to the pro test. It began by recording the fac that efforts had been made to th fullest extent by the United State Government to prevent the Legisla tare from passing the bill expreaslni regret as to its final enactment thei went on to state empractlcally tha the enactment was purely the out For Weakness and Loss-of Appetite V The OKI Standard general strengthening tonic OHOVK'S TASTRI.KSS chill TONIC, drlvea 01 Malaria and builds up the system.

On the sixtoenth of June the Secre- ?.. : tary of State handed to Viscount Chinda the rejoinder.

However, to the regret j 8 of the Government, the time has not t arrived for reporting on the point." r ' Although the address elicited no f formal comment from the State De- c. 1 partment, the conditions under which _ B the statement that Japan's last note 3 remains unanswered was made, will n?ra B It is understood, again serve to direct tect< ~ attention to this subect. By mutual plat R agreement the two Governments have the 1 kept from publication details of the ? 1 negotiations but it has been under- j)],, ' stood here that the negotiations came gj " to an end because the principals had arrived at an "Impasse." The last 1 Japanese note, it is said could not 1 technically be described as a protest; it was a refusal to accept as con- dree " vinclng the argument laid down by "J I the State Department. clar usee Importance of Vital Statistics. g( " Southern Medical Journal. that ' It is always difficult to impress m s people with the importance of doing ~ something from which no beneficial .,ans s results are immediately visible the " duty assumed or the action performed *'on c has been ignored or neglected in the |>ast. Such is the case with physicians like " when it comes to making regular re- the ports of those items of their business fron ~ which are included in the general s terms, "vital statistics." Ouil II The routine work of a busy pracy titioner crowds out of his mind the J() " necessity for not only recording but v,'a reporting to the state health authori- P'"1 a ties every birth, white or black, every 1 s case of infectious disease, and every Wat " death from whatsoever cause. thei p Some reason in this way: "The> wen ? are born and they die anyhow, and jn t me newspaper ion wnon wo have ?|aJ, - smallpox, scarlet fovor, or oholora. s or anything like that, so what is the ' 1 use of any rod tape from mo. especlv ally as 1 got no pay for it?" nor' it Two vital errors exist in such a f'Rh - reflection. First, his report is neoes- eoul 8 sary, as well as that of all his pro- thrci - fessional brethren in his territory, to uboc - render the state records authentic. "| l> To-day our population Is in an un- "gh, 1 settled frame of mind. A large pro- |oc|( 1 portion of them than ever before are " looking southward with longing eyes. 0 dreaming of coming to us to establish f ' " homes for themselves and get 8 away from the dust storms and blizt zards of the north and north west. 0 Thoughtful men whose citizenship we 1 most desire, do not take such in im- ; 8 portant step without thorough prer liminary investigation. They scan and 0 analyze both state and national re" ports to learn as thoroughly as pos^ sihle the condition of our general 5 health, the number and causes of ? ' a deaths, and the porportion of births of white and colored children. Where * thes are not available or are imper" feet a had impression is created at the pfl start, so that men of means and most r . 1 desirable character when finally ready r to personally inspect the different m R places towards which their investi' gatlons have inclined them, pass by * the localities wherein the doctors are p neglectful of the duty of reporting * vital statistics as either suspicious or wjW undesirable. Northern people have ' an exaggerated conception of the ^7 iiit licit iiiii uuu'ss or ip.o soutnern | |/0 / I climate especially as regards malaria '' and hookworm. Moreover, some have \1 an idea tiiat w ith us the negroes art1 5 always immensely in the majority. These and many other fallacies would to a great extent be extinguish- evP1 B ed if all our Southern doctors would . ' make prompt complete reports to the ??N r proper official as the law requires. It f> would tend to attract to their respec- w<>a B tlve neighborhood the most desir" able class of immigration, thereby "tht a increasing the value of real esate of husl -every description and naturally ex- hav a panding their pratice. Thus It is read- fror [" ily seen that there is n need for every f II physician to furnish his quota "red .ar " tape," and that it does promise re- * " numeration for the slight efTort required. This is only one angle from which to view the subject. There an<' 0 are others equally or more important thrr to which the Journal intends from loo* a time to invite the attention of its chei readers. and y The Division of Vital Statistics of the United States Census Bureau, ' the directnon of Dr. Cressy L. Wily bur, is doing a great work lu improv- y r ing vital satistics. Twwj^/'-model" ?vftl 8 Census bill should be adoJHWt'in every sate. It is now pending in several "n8 B Southern states and the physician *nd h should nse their influence to secure hile its passage. In a number of Southern a 11 " states In a year of two after the ? r model Census law has been operation ^al f those states have had reported ninety r per cent of births and deaths, and , Y have therefore been placed In the 0 Registration Area. a It is most Important for the future development of the 8outh to have com "?plete and accurate vital satieties. vi J ? *4 v / ?u |I IUU (MJUHiaj. ff"1 ?

London -?The police have been sub- ' jected to considerable criticism for the small number of arrests they i made at the recent Row Maths riot 1 In the Kast Find, when Sylvia Pankhurst was rescued by her followers, but modesty has prevented the Ixmdon policeman from coining forward with a perfectly adequate excuse for his small suffragette bag. The story of the newest form of militant strategy might never have been made public had not some of tho victorious suffragettes boasted about it to their friends. According to these fighters every time a policeman grasped a suffragette one of her comrades, told off for that purpose, would rip open the officer's coat and cut his suspenders. Torn between conflicting senses of duty and modesty the constable had to sacrifice his capture or his dignity, and everyone who knows I the London "bobby" will guess that the prisoner escaped. The troublee of the much-abused police did not end with the escape of their prisoners, for when they were lined up before the Inspector to report ofT duty, they got a rating for their failure to stand at attention with hands at thefr sides The chaffing of their comrades in the station house, when they discovered the cause for this slackness, did not add to (heir happiness.
