CONGRESSAWAITS ADJOURNING HOUR NEXT SATURDAY Sofons in Washington Mark Time as Vacation Period Nears, By United Press WASHINGTON, June 4, Congress today settled down to dispose of a few contentious Issues, pass necessary appropriation bills and then scatter to the country Saturday night. The Senate, having eoneurred in the House resolution to adjourn at 7 p. m. Saturday, durffig the next four days probably will engage in a test vote on the Muscle Shoals question, take up the $150,000,000 naval construction program, pass one or two supply bills an3 dispose of whatever the House sends it. The House has on its program only ah appropriation bill, the reclamation bill recommended by the Department of Interior, which may be attached as a rider to the approplntion bill, and the possible addition of a substitute farm bill, which farm bloc leaders are believed to have agreed on to replace the defeated McNary-Haugen bill. The La Follette group in the Senate, though defeated in their move to hold Congress in session during the summer to act on its program of Progressive legislation, will not till • buster to gain time for their measures in the last four days of this week. Though the presence of an important appropriation bill on the calendar offers them the opportunity to make an effective attempt at blocking all other legislation, authoritative statements of those close to Senator ‘‘La Follette say he will not make it. La Follette believes the Senate played into his hands by throwing down his resolution for a resumption of work on June 7 and will make the Senate's refusal one of the articles of—his platform if he takes the field as an independent in July, as showing the unwillingness of Congress adequately to give time to farm legislation.

COIiRSESONMY DOTY ADVOCATED / * New York Official Says Colleges Should Prepare Youth. By Times Special NEW June 4. —Proposal to include courses on juries and jury duty in college curricula was made yesterday by Frederick O'Byrne, commissioner of jurors for New York County. Commissioner O’Byrne’s suggestions were made In an interview on the case of Charles W. Reniligs, who has admitted accepting bribes to vote for acquittal. Commissioner O’Byrne said that an Instance such as that revealed by Rendigs was so rare among jurors as to be an outstanding case, only a few offenses of the kind having come to his notice in many years as deputy commissioner and commissioner. His proposal that colleges and universities take cognizance of the need for education of the. youth in jury duties was inspired, he said, by the lack of knowledge of many [email protected] as to what constituted~jury work- “ There is too general a feeling that jury duty is to be evaded,’’ said Commissionei' -O’Byrne. “That is not so in'’Smaller communities. But in New York, where people art; always pressed with business and have less of the community spirit than in smaller places, too many men drawn for jury duty offer excuses by which they hope to evade service. "It is my belief that the condition could be remedied in large measure by college courses dealing with the history of juries, the work done by Juries and the duties required of jurors.” Demand for Farm Labor By Times Special CALGARY, Alberta, June 4.

SIX JAPANESE DIE US' PROTEST TD EXCLUSION BILL Take Own Lives in Answer to ‘Personal Affront’ of America, ♦ By l nit*:* Pres* TOKIO, June 4. —One after another Japanese are killing themselves in various parts of the country because of the exclusion clause in the Amerjcan immigration bill. Six have comniitte<t* suicide by hanging or drowning or tjie historic hari kari this week, leaving 1-tters protestiagainst the measure. • The Way of Nippon To understand this, one must consider the Japanese character and the way the people of Nippon look upon things. In the first place, Japanese regard their exclusion from the United States as a personal affront *o each Individual rather than as a mater for national resentment. Each feels he has been slighted, told “you are not good enough to associate with me.” When a Japanese is insulted, his highest retaliation is to commit suicide. He says, “you have insulted me and I cannon-live in the Fame world with you. I will not kill you, for that would make me as low as you. I wliNgo to my forefathers." Suicide follows. Answer to Affront The epidemic of suicides, therefore, is thf personal answer of each victim to what he a personal affront. A man of 30 hanged himself to a tree today in Tokio, leaving a pathetic letter about immigration addressed to Ambassador Woods. Another your.g man hurled himself qnder the wheels of a train, leaving a will urging that American goods be boycotted.
