The Frenchmen gave a thrilling description of this lottery which is conducted while large groups of prisoners about a big room, red guards with, fixed bayonets forming a verdon about the walls. The tension increases until one of the prisoners draws the number, then it snaps and screams and cries mark the "let down." Some prisoners, however, they said, have been known to try to get the death ticket, preferring a shot to further imprisonment.

By A. L. BRADFORD, (TJnitcd Prrit Staff Correipotident.) WASHINGTON, Oat, 12--Negotiations over Japanese immisjiat'on a anti-Japanese legislation in Ca'ifornia were continued at the state department.

Roland S. Morris, American am- bassador to Totao, and Ambassador Shidehara of Japan, are carrying on the negotiations. While the state department and the Japanese embassy are maintaining the strictest secrecy the two countries are said to have reached an understanding on general principles and the negotiations are believed to be progressing to ward a settlement. Japan may take the position that ail laws discriminating against her sub-' jects already in the United States, such as the existing anti-alien land law in California, must be wiped out, it was understood here. The proposed California law for prohibition even of land leasing by Japanese also would be included in this demand.

This stand of Japan makes the issue between the two countries-clean cut. The United States is not entirely- satisfied with the "gentlemen's agreement" by which Japan voluntarily undertakes to restrict immigration and wants an absolute prohibition of Japanese labor immigration. The "gentlemen's agreemen'" now is believed to be under study.

Madison Square Garden had (been reserved for the n'ght of October 27 Some of Harding's advisors feared complications at New York, the chief one being the possibil ity that Ehhu Root, a strong league advocate, might pieside at the meeting and thus emphasize a divergence of views on the league between himself and Senator Harding. Believing his attitude on the League had been misrepresented in some press dispatches sent on his Des Momes speech, Senator Harding issued a formal statement re-stating his position.

It is, he said, against the present league, but in favor of some association, whether it be called a league or not, that will discourage or tend to prevent war and promote better understanding between nations.
