WASHINGTON, D. C, May 8; Viscount Chinda, the Japanese ambassador, today visited Secretary Bryan at the latter'g residence and presented to him the formal protest from Tokio against the passage of the alien land bill in California. The representatives of the two governments were closeted together for more than an hour. Secretary Bryan promised Viscount Chinda that his objection to the bill would receive full consideration at the hands of this government and that it would be brought to the attention of the president and his cabinet. Later in the day Secretary Bryan informed the president that he does not think there is any use of appealing to Governor Johnson not to sign the bill. Mr. Bryan states that there are flaws in the bill which , the courts can cause to nullify Its provisions, and thereby prevent any difficulty with Japan.
FINE FOR FRECKLES, TOO.
Just three months to a day from the time he chugged out of Indianapolis on his. motorcycle, E. G. Baker chugged back in again, having ridden in the meantime 14,000 miles. Baker was the motorcyclist who raced against Charles Tangeman at the driving park track in the fall of 1911. Baker is one of the best riders in this part of the country and 1b well known to local motorcyclists. Up hill and down dale he went, over railroad roadbeds, through streams, across deserts, along cow-paths, over mountains. Cuba, Jamaica, Old Mexico, tne Panama Canal, the West, the Southwest and the South all fled past him as his sturdy motor carried him swiftly through the long miles. Baker, leaving Indianapolis, struck out for Atlanta, Ga., then Savannah, Jacksonville and thence to Havana, Cuba. He spent six days riding around the island and then shipped to Jamaica, where he rode for three days. In Jamaica his gasoline was served to him in half-pint bottles wrapped In tissue paper. It's a delicacy in
Jamaica. From Jamaica Baker shipped to Colon and then rode the length of the Panama Canal to the City of Panama. From there he rode to San Pedro, Los Angeles and then back into Old Mexico. San Jose, Santa Barbara, Oakland, San Francisco, Stockton, San Diego followed in order and then he headed for home. Yuma, Phoenix, El Paso, Fort Worth, Dallas, Little Rock,
Popular Bluffs, St. Louis, Terre Haute and Indianapolis. That's Baker's motorcycle ride in brief. One day he forded twenty-one streams. His best day's mileage (10 hours) was 238 miles. One day he rode 333 miles in sixteen hours. During the entire trip he rode 400 miles on the cross ties of railroads. He rode 182 miles on cow-paths. He made what is said to be a record in desert travel, covering 560 miles through sand in 30 hours and fifteen minutes. "It just shows what a motorcycle will do," said Baker. "I have never yet seen the place that I couldn't go on a two-wheeler. It was a great trip one that was enjoyable from first to last. It was not always 'easy going

The state tax commission held a conference, with County Assessor Mathews, Trustee Porterfleld and Boston Township Assessor Wblter Dill, relative to the objections of the Chesapeake & Ohio railroad officials to increased taxes placed upon' the. road. The meeting was held at Indianapolis. No definite action was taken by the state officials. It is contended. by the railroad officers tha'. the assessed valuation of the road is too high. County Assessor Mathews believes the valuation has been too low, and after a personal investigation last fall raised the tax valuation on the road in Boston township $15,000. It was appraised by railroad officials and the statement handed to the assessors last year, the appraisement showing less than one mile of track in the township. According to the measurement of the assessors there are over three miles of road in the township. A decision will be handed down by the tax commission wthin a few days it is expected.

Then he wheeled his motorcycle through to the other shore returning for his clothes. These he carried across and within an hour he was on his way. The water did not hurt the machine at all.

BY B. R. INMAN. INDIANAPOLIS. May 8. That the primaries in different parts of Indiana during recent years have not been representative of the honest vote cast for
the several candidates, is too well known to require comment here. The , flagrant frauds that have been perpe- ! trated in Indianapolis, Terre Haute and other municipal centers by the two old parties, have been revolting to the sense of honor and common de
cency of men of all parties who have been In close touch with the situation. It is not claimed that Progressives are necessarily different from other men on general principles, but it is well known that the Progressive party was founded as a protest against corrupt primaries and boss-ridden conventions. The Progressive party advocates the rule of the people through
fair and honest representation. In every state in the union the Progressive party stands for honest primaries and representative conventions. The i party has taken a fair stand in favor : of these needed reforms. Progressive members of the primary and general election boards, knowing that these members are pledged to an honest ; count and fair play for every one who .is connected with the several boards. J The words of Elias D. Salsbury, j who was recently made a member of the primary election board of Indianapolis by order of the court after the , Republicans had made an effort to
donjtnate the board in deiance to the statutes, will be read with eager interest by all who appreciate honest primaries. Mr. Salsbury says: "Each voter is entitled to one vote and to no more, and each voter is entitled under the law and in justice to have his vote counted and reported as he cast it. This means that at the
coming city primary the election board in each precinct will sit together and act together in the county of the votes, and that all the members of each precinct election board will act together in the counting of all the votes cast for all of the candidates of all the parties. "This is the clear Intent of the primary law. Otherwise it has no safeguards at all. It is to be the policy of Progressive judges and clerks on the primary election boards In th precincts to insist and to see that the law Is carried out fully and fairly. This is a plain Progressive first principle. "There shall be no drawing off into corners in the polling places the night of the primary, men of each party counting that party's own vote and reporting to suit Its board members. There shall, be no careless or evlr acquiescence by .one political party In the fraud and cheating of another.
MAYOR SAYS MACY SHOULD GET MEDAL
Harvey Macy, So nth Fifth street, and Orlando Emery engaged in a ntc
battle last night when Patrolman Schlangen interfered, arresting both on the charge of asault and battery. Neither was fined in police court this morning. Macy declares that he ordered Emery, who formerly boarded at his home to cease having communication with Mrs. Macy and the children. He stated that when he came home at different times he found Emery in the house with either the daughter or his wife. "Emery was courting my fifteen-year-old daughter," said Macy.' and I thought that she was too yeung to be in his company. Repeatedly I came home and found him there after I had ordered him away." Emery expressed his willingness to Btay away from the Macy home hereafter. Mayor Zimmerman stated that he would be given the heaviest punishment possible if other complaints came from Macy. "Macy," said the mayor, "you should be given a medal for giving that fellow a good beating and under the circumstances it is too bad you didn't get to finish it last night." There shall be no mutual understanding and working agreement between party organization men, as has been the case in the past. "Every candidate in the coming city primary, regardless of party, can be assured that the entire board will count his vote and that he will get exactly the strength that is rightly his. It has been easy in the past for the organization men of one party and the organization men of the other party in the primary to separate when it comes to vote counting, and for each organization for itself, to fix up results to suit the desires of that organization and to fix the organization slates, Republican and Democratic. "That game Is all off this year. With three parties represented on the board, and with Progressives Insisting, as they will Insist, that the whole three-party election board must count every vote cast and report it as cast, there can be no collusion of organizations for slate making purposes. It means simply a square deal for all at the primary."

(National News Association) SPRINGFIELD, 111.. May 8. Charges that Deputy Sheriff R. M. Sullivan of Sagamon county had threatened reprisals if the Illinois white slave investigating committee began a probe in Springfield were made today before the Illinois senate. The charges followed the adoption of a resolution providing for a thorough probe of charges made in an affidavit filed yesterday with the senate by Sullivan and directed against Lieutenant Governor 0"Hara. chairman of the committee. The secrecy which has surrounded the affidavit was dispelled at the instance of O'Hara. The charge in Sullivan's affidavit, which was made public today was that "O'Hara and another man with two women were in a Chicago hotel for three days." The names under which they are alleged to have registered were found on the register for the days in question. Mr. O'Hara was in Chicago at the time and asserted today that he could prove by competent witnessed that he was not at the hotel mentioned in the affidavit. The charge placed against Sullivan today was made by B. M. Coan. chief investigator of the white slave committee. It alleges that Sullivan had threatened to produce affidavits reflecting on the lieutenant governor and members of the vice committee If the investigators invaded, Springfield. Coas testified that Sullivan said, "your committee had better stay away from Springfield. If you don't we will put it out of business and the senate will be minus a lieutenant governor. There are other places besides Springfield. We have affidavits made by women against members of the committee."
