JAP TROUBLE LOOMS OVER IMMIGRATION Senate Prepares to Adopt Bill Barring Orientals Grave Consequences Likely to Follow Passage of Measure by Congress, COOLIDGE IS LIKELY TO PLACE VETO ON BILL V Present Temper of Lawmakers Is to Put Matter Through Over President’s iHead Meddling of Ambassador Angers Solons, ! Bu United Press WASHINGTON, April 15.—As the Senete today prepared to adopt by an overwhelming vote the provision excluding Japanese immigrants, the air of official and diplomatic Washington thickened with portends of trouble over the manner in which this question has been handled. These developments preceded meetj mg of the Senate: 1. The Cabinet discussed the problem, recognized as present grave pos- | sibilitlea of misunderstanding with : Japan. 2. Senator Lodge, chairman of the j foreign relations committee, conferred ! with President Coolidge. 3. Senator Reed, Pennsylvania, au- | thor of a compromise exclusion provision, conferred with Secretary of ! State Hughes. Congress One Mind I While in Congress there is apitarj ently but one mind concerning Japan'.* protest, through Hanihara, against the exclusion provision. Pres.dent Coolidge and Secretary Hughes feel themselves in an embarrassing position. They ; can understand why Congress is anI gry at Japan's daring to interfere with legislation on a domestic question, pending before Congress, but they nevertheless are concerned about consequences of Congress anger. It therefore, lias been suggested Mr. I Coolidge will veto the immigration bill when it conies to him carrying tlio 'exclusion clause. But the present ! temper of Congress is such a veto ) will be overridden. Hughes Criticised At the Capitol there was a strdng disposition to criticise Secretary of State Hughes for precipitating the matter. Diplomatic circles awaited further word from Tokio and the feeling Masano Hanihara, the Japa- | nese ambassador, might resign or be recalled. For the time being all official and diplomatic quarters were extremely uncommunicative. Considerable sympathy was expressed for Hanihara, who in presenting to Hughes the views of the Japanese government, whs understood to be acting definite instructions from Tokio. While Hughes obtained Hanlhara's | permission to make public his letter, j it was pointed out this action was a I mistake, as it produced in Congress I the opposite effect from that hoped for. Cannnot Retract Criticism It is considered doubtful Senators ; Ix,dge. Pepper. Reed (Pennsylvania), Willis and others could retract their j criticism of the meddling of Ambassaj dor Hanihara on a domestic question. As for the House, the managers of both parties have served notice on | the administration no immigration i legislation can be enacted at this sesi sion unless it contains a Japanese exclusion provision.

U. S. Wastes Half of Oil in Ground and Visible Supply Will Last Only About Twenty Years

THESE PICTURES SHOW HOW KEEN COMPETITION IS IN THE OIL FIELDS. THE TOP SHOWS A FOREST OF DERRICKS IN THE LONG BEACH (CALIF.) DISTRICT. ONE OF THE GREATEST OIL FIELDS IN THE COUNTRY. THE BOTTOM ONE GIVES A GOOD IDEA OF HOW THE DERRICKS HAVE BEEN CRAMMED TOGETHER BY TOWN-LOT DRILLERS. THERE’S ONE TO EVERY town l<w in parts of the LONG BEACH FIELD. By CHARLES P. STEWART INGTON, April 15. \Jy America is wasting her oil os recklessly as she is wasting her timber. Her present more or less vis.ble supply will last about twenty years more. By "visible" Is meant the oil which actually has been "located” or which geologists are sure of. That any important additions will be made to it is more than unlikely, for as the Geological Survey says, "a large paid of the territory in the In led States that may possibly contain oil has been studied and ‘wildcatting’ has spread through ‘prospective’ into many regions of ‘possible.’ Oil Is Imported As with timber, the period of oil scarcity already Is he' - e. “The country’s annual production,” points out the Geological Survey, "it now-almost half a billion barrels but the annual consumption Is well beyond the half ballon mark, and still growing. For some years we have had to import oil.” Estimates are based on the amount of oil recoverable from the ground by present methods. Oil Is Wasted OH. once gone. Is gone forever. A good deal is lost by fire, but that's accidental—lnexcusably so perhaps, but not deliberate. Then there's a heavy loss of the by-product—gas—which might be saved by capping the wells, and used for fuql. But the griatest loss is due to competitive drilling The oil-bearing sand lies in the ground in layers. The bottom layer is richest. The cream of the deposit Is ski in mod off the bottom and everything else Is wasted. i How much oil Is loßt In this way? Nothing like exact figures are available, but Harry Slattery of the National Conservation Association ''guesses'' half of it —until very recently.

HARRY l THAW AND FORMER WIFE MEET IN COURT Millionaire on Trial for Sanity Ignores Presence of Evelyn Nesbit. By l-nitrd Press PHILADELPHIA- April 15.—Evelyn Nesbit and Harry K. Thaw faced each other across the counsel tables at the trial for his sanity today. By not so much ss a movement of his features did the millionaire who is seeking his release from "Kirkbrides" acknowledge the presence of the woman who came to oppose that release. As for Evelyn, she sat with downcast eyes, paying no attention to her former husband, but listening intently while her councfi questioned an alienst regarding Thaw’s strange,performances In the years since he married her and killed Stanford White for her sake. "Don't you consider Thaw's actions toward the rabbits indicative of sexual perversion?" Dickson asked. "No, sir, I do not.” Thaw Is Imperturbable During a lengthy discussion of such matters Harry Thaw sat imperturbable In the front row of spectators, talking occasionally to friends and not even glancing up when the rabbits were mentioned. Dr. Mills, who has examined Thaw a score of times, and pronounced him sane each time, was closely crossexamined on the subject of Thaw's having been twice adjudged Insane. "I can only say he has been sane when I examined him," Dr. Mills said. "Was he sane or insane when he shot Stanford White?'' Dickson asked. At the mention of White, whom Thaw shot to death in 1906, a light perspiration stood out on Harry’s forehead and he wiped his brow and shifted uneasily in his seat. The w’itness said he didn't know Thaw at that time. Evelyn Nesbit. whose intervention is on behalf of her boy, Russell, came to Philadelphia at an early hour and (Continued on Page 11) Five-Year Divorce Asked A divorce for five years and alimony of $5,000 was asked in Superior Court today by Mrs. Bessie E.
