Reply of Uncle Sam To Protest Is Declared To Be Unsatisfactory. Tokyo. May 22-The reply of the United States Government the Japanese protest in regard to the California alien land ownership legislation, in saying that it does not involve any violation of the treaty between the United States and Japan. has caused great disappointment in official and other circles here. The Japanese Foreign Office considers it unsatisfactory, as it does not mention any Intention on the part of the Government at Washington to take official steps to nullify the act passed by the California Legislature.

The Japanese Foreign Minister is urging upon Viscount Chinda, Japanese Ambassador at Washington, the necessity of pressing the Japanese interpretation of the American-Japanese treaty. Secretary of State Bryan's proposal to refer the tion to a referendum in the state of Califorpia is not received with favor here, as the result is considered doubtful. The war talk emanating from Europe and reaching here by cable regarding the controversy is not understood in official and other circles here. Some of the newspapers, however, have begun to speak out more freely. The leadIng dally newspaper, the Osaka Mainichi, Hnds amusement in what it calls the American fear of Japanese aggression.

It says: "All Japan wants for the Japanese is equal treatment with white men. Japan's progress has reached the point where she will no longer consent to discrimination being shown against her subjects." Public opinion seems to be in favor of demand for naturalization as the most feasible means of satisfying Japanese prestige. The opinion in official circles is that the nation has been led to expect some action by Washington, and if nothing should be done from that quarter the Japanese pubMic. which has remained calm and dignified, is liable to become greatly irritated. CONFERENCE IS ARRANGED.

Bryan and Chinda To Discuss Japanese Protest Next Week. SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE Washington, May of State Bryan and Ambassador Chinda will resume the active discussion of the California land law situation next week, according to information available at the State Department to-day.

The date of the conference has not been definitely set, but it is known that the American reply will be conclusively discussed at the meeting. UNCLE SAM STANDS PAT.

OPEN TO 10 P. M. SATURDAYS PRIMARY Is Tainted Will Fraud, SaysHoltzman, Defeated Candidate For Mayor of Indianapolis. Bell's Selection Is Expected To Be Followed By Nomination of Independent Ticket. SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE ENQUIRER.

Indianapolis, May nomination of Joseph E. Bell as the Democratic candidate for Mayor will be followed by the nomination of an independent ticket, according to reports to-day. It is the derstanding that either John W. Holtzman, who was defeated by Bell, or Judge James Collins, Republican, will head the independent ticket. Bell refused to-day to take any stock in the report that Holtzman will make the race on an independent ticket, but from the tone of an interview given out by Holtaman the fight between the two tant Democratic factions here has just started.

The Holtamen men are charging crookedness in the primaries. Representative John Keegan, defeated Democratic candidate, says the returna were framed up in many precincts for the benefit of Bell. William K. Stewart, who ran second for' the Progressive nomination for Mayor today, charged that the primaries were controlled by a bi-partisan machine, which was determined to nominate Bell and Charles Bookwalter, the Republican candidate. Complete returns show that Bell received 9,713 votes; Holtzman Keegan Thomas S.

Meeker, 1,148. Bell came near making good his prediction that he would get twice as many votes as Holtsman. Holtsman declared this afternoon that the primaries were the most corrupt and high-handed ever in Indianapolis. He said that repeaters were used and that votes cast for Keegan, Meeker and himself were counted for Bell. "This primary is not only tainted with fraud.

but is steeped with corruption," said Holtzman. Holtzman asserted that Bell is not the nominee of the Democratic party, although his name will go on the ticket. Holtzman declared that under the circumstances the Democratio party has no candidate for Mayor. Holtzman thanked his friends and assured the progressive Democrats that the fight against boss rule has just begun. which is taken to mean that he is ready to lead an anti-organization movement independent of the regular nominee.

The total vote cast for the Republican Mayoralty candidates follow: Bookwalter, Albert Uhi, 865; William D. Woods, 228. The total Progressive Mayoralty vote follows: Dr. W. H.

Johnson, 2,270: W. K. Stewart, 1,661: W. D. Headrick, 863.

James E. Deery received the Democratic nomination for Judge of the Police Court. Thomas A. Riley, Democrat, was nominated for City Clerk. Thomas J.

Fred Treller, wanted in Cincinnati on charge of failing to provide for his family, walked out of the Police Court room in Covington, shortly after noon yestera discussion was going on to whether he could be held until the arrival of Assistant Superintendent James T. Allen, of the Ohio Humane Society. The prisoner intimated that he would not waive his rights and return to this city unless requisition papers were secured. It 1s understood the authorities were uncertain as to whether Treller could be held on a failing-to-provide charge under such conditions. While the argument was going on Treller, somewhat peeved, sauntered out of the courtroom, and up to last night was still at liberty.

When Allen, who had been notifled of the arrest of Treller, arrived in Covington he immediately strengthened the position of the Covington police by swearing to a "fugitive from justice" warrant. This will be served upon Treller. The latter was living at 1200 Holman street. His family resides on Gilsey avenue, Price Hill. The wife charges that he has failed to support his two children for several months.

Although Treller is just across the river, 11 he refuses to waive his rights upon being rearrested Allen will have to secure requisition papers, and in order to do so must travel to Columbus and then to Frankfort, where the Ohio papers will be honored. Then the officer will have to present his documents to the police of Covington. In the event of Treller's conviction the cost of securing his return would be assessed against the prisoner. SAWYER ON NEW CHARTER. Councilman Charles Sawyer addressed the Pleasant Ridge Welfare Association last night on the commission proposed to draft a new charter for Cincinnati.

He then touched on the Federal, commission and city manager plans for municipal government. The Councilman was armed with petitions requesting Council to pass his ordinance, and after a resolution had been adopted, calling on the Ways and Means Committee to report on the measure without delay, they were signed by nearly every person in the hall. TWO IRON WORKERS HURT.

One of the men lost his balance and seized the other when he felt himself falling, witnesses say. Ellis was sent to his home in a cab and Cotter was taken to the Cincinnati Hospital by the police. The men are Iron worker a STAGE The proverbial circus weather for Cincinnati greeted the Barnum Bailey Show yesterday morning as it rolled into Cincinnati for its two-days' stay here. If any of the big shows ever witness the bright morning sun coming over the eastern horison as they anchor In Cincinnati the very animals themselves will congratulate each other. Barnum Bailey didn't have a chance in the world to strike good weather this time, as the Gentry Show came in several days ahead and there was no chance to catch the weather man sleeping.

The crew that moves and unmoves the tented city of Barnum Bailey found the Cumminsville grounds in a most promising condition. It was truly a case of "anchor. ing," and the outlook as 80 unpropitious that the parade as declared off early in the day and all efforts turned to putting the ground in some sort of favorable condition. Sawdust and hay were used by the ton, and when it comes to covering the grounde under this show, the tons are measured almost by the score. Cincinnati, however, is too well accustomed to rainy circus days to let that entirely spoil the fun, and two big audiences traveled out to the old stamping place in Cumminsville.

No mater how often these mammoth circuses appear in our midst one cannot but wonder at the marvelous system and order that prevails under the worst of conditions, and the grounds yesterday put the vast resources to a severe test. All self-respecting circuses begin with spectacle nowadays, which are growing in magnitude each year. This season a marvelous production of "Cleopatra" opens. the show. The famous Roman-Egyptian story is told in pantomime, with all the grandeur and pomp that the resources of such a circus can afford.

Beautiful costumes, light effects and gorgeous trappings gave the performance the proper atmosphere. It is to be conceded that neither are sidered as the primary purposes. It 18 full of color and glitter, uses hundreds of people, as well as horses, camels and elephants, and a gorgeous ballet. Cleopatra's costume, however, could hardly be explained by searching the entire achieves of ancient Egypt. Following immediately on this no time is lost in beginning the maze of circus acta that are destined to entertain one throughout the performance.

Animal acts of various descriptions, funny clowns who have searched all the realms of originality for something new, aerial acts that thrill one to the very marFOR of his bone, wire walking of true eir cus variety, horseback riding that is sheer delight, as well as achievements of the highest kind of all sorts follow each other in succession too rapid to attempt to see all and too numerous to mention. A distinct novelty is the elephant baseball game, which is rich and new one in the animal-training art. There is no mistaking about the turkey trotting of Mr. der's horse, while 'his statue horses are beautiful. And.

by the way, don't miss the suffragette parade. It's worth the price of admission. Some marvelous Japanese Jujitsu work and wrestling are shown, while the famous Josephson's Icelandie style of self-defense another novelty that is certainly thrilling. Among the ers special mention must be given Mae Wirth, the beautiful young girl who, with the Davenporta and others, furnish the bare-back riders of the show. The usual races prove thrilling Inish.

To-day the circus will show at Norwood, MOVING THE GENTRYS. Not the least attractive feature of the eight days' visit to Cincinnati by Gentry Brothers' shows is the manner in which the tented city is moved from place to place. Already the shows have moved twice, and to-night and early to-morrow morning they again will pick up the tented city and carry it on Its way to new fields. The shows to-day are at Reading road and McMillan street, where There will be two performances to-day. At the conclusion of the night performance camp will be broken and the itinerant city will be moved to Montgomery road and Langdon avenue.

From that location the street parade will leave this morning at 10 o'clock. Ita route is as follows: MoMilian street to Julian. to Reading road. to Rockdale, to Harvey, to Burnet, to Oak, to Reading road, to Julian, to Essex place, to the show grounds. The shows have been liberally patronized since their arrival, the plan of moving from lot to lot having struck a popular chord.

are many features to the shows that appeal to amusement lovers, Among those There that attract the little ones is the fact that they are permitted to ride the elephants and pontes at the close of the afternoon performance.
