Washing^ton May 10.—Ambassador Chinda, in the name of the Japanese government refused today to accept the reply to the protest against the California alien land law made by President Wilson. He demanded as the only basis upon which the controversy "could be amicably settled that the federal government make impos able the execution of the legislation which is objectionable to his people. Secretary Bryan hurried to the White House with the answer. To hun President Wilson dictated a telegram to Governor Johnson, giving the full details of the final demand of the Tokio government and placing emphasis on the gravity of the situation. The text of the telegram was not made public, but it is under¬ stood the President appealed to the California governor to veto the bill setting forth that this was the only means by which friendly re- laitons between this country and Japan could be insured. ANOTHER APPEAL TO JOHNSON. It is known that the president hesitated to make another formal request on Governor Johnron after the visit of Secretary Bryan to California, but did so, it is admitted, to show the Japanese people that as chief executive of the nation he was willing to exercise his prero- gativct^to make suggestions. He finds precedents for this in the language of several treaties with other foreign nations which provide that "the president will use his good offices with state governments to obtain for the citizens of other subscribing powers such privileges -and concessions as may be granted citizens of the United States.'' The sum of the day's events are accepted at the State Depart- i ment to mean that unless Japan recedes from the positive demands , made tbe friendly relations between the United States and that coun-' try will be severed within the next seventy-two hours. Governor Johnson has until May 13 to either sign or veto the bill. I If he does not axercise his veto power the measure wili become effec- j ti^¦e as a law anyhow. The impression prevails here, however, that 1 he will sign it. I JAPAN OBDURATE There is nothing in the attitude or demeanor of Viscount Chinda to indicate the possibility of the protest being withdrawn or modified. He has informed the president that the Japanese government holds tht national government responsible and will look only to the Wash¬ ington government for a settlement of the differences which have arisen. Ambassador Chinda, to make known these facts, has made daily visits to the State Department and also went to the White House un¬ til it was intimated to him that his visits to the president direct were emphasizing the seriousness of the trouble. The Mikado's representative entered the building occupied by the State, War and Navy Departments so early today that he was ouhged to rub elbows with the clerks who were hurrying to their «^ork. He reached Secretary Bryan's office before any other work had been taken up and the two immediately went into conference. The conference was brief. Viscount Chinda had communicated vnth his home government over night and had only to say to the Sec- retaiy that the terms for a settlement suggested in the replv given to the protest yestsrday were not satisfactory. He then added the de- ttiaiid that some further step be taken looking to nullification of the California law.

CRISIS IN DISPliTE THOUGHT TO BE AT HAND
(Telegraph to Independent.)
Washing^ton May 10.—Ambassador Chinda, in the name of the Japanese government refused today to accept the reply to the protest against the California alien land law made by President Wilson.
He demanded as the only basis upon which the controversy "could be amicably settled that the federal government make impos able the execution of the legislation which is objectionable to his people.
Secretary Bryan hurried to the White House with the answer. To hun President Wilson dictated a telegram to Governor Johnson, giving the full details of the final demand of the Tokio government and placing emphasis on the gravity of the situation.
The text of the telegram was not made public, but it is under¬ stood the President appealed to the California governor to veto the bill setting forth that this was the only means by which friendly re- laitons between this country and Japan could be insured. ANOTHER APPEAL TO JOHNSON.
It is known that the president hesitated to make another formal request on Governor Johnron after the visit of Secretary Bryan to California, but did so, it is admitted, to show the Japanese people that as chief executive of the nation he was willing to exercise his prero- gativct^to make suggestions.
He finds precedents for this in the language of several treaties with other foreign nations which provide that "the president will use his good offices with state governments to obtain for the citizens of other subscribing powers such privileges -and concessions as may be granted citizens of the United States.''
The sum of the day's events are accepted at the State Depart- i ment to mean that unless Japan recedes from the positive demands , made tbe friendly relations between the United States and that coun-' try will be severed within the next seventy-two hours.
Governor Johnson has until May 13 to either sign or veto the bill. I If he does not axercise his veto power the measure wili become effec- j ti^¦e as a law anyhow. The impression prevails here, however, that 1 he will sign it. I
JAPAN OBDURATE There is nothing in the attitude or demeanor of Viscount Chinda to indicate the possibility of the protest being withdrawn or modified. He has informed the president that the Japanese government holds tht national government responsible and will look only to the Wash¬ ington government for a settlement of the differences which have arisen.
Ambassador Chinda, to make known these facts, has made daily visits to the State Department and also went to the White House un¬ til it was intimated to him that his visits to the president direct were emphasizing the seriousness of the trouble.
The Mikado's representative entered the building occupied by the State, War and Navy Departments so early today that he was ouhged to rub elbows with the clerks who were hurrying to their «^ork. He reached Secretary Bryan's office before any other work had been taken up and the two immediately went into conference.
The conference was brief. Viscount Chinda had communicated vnth his home government over night and had only to say to the Sec- retaiy that the terms for a settlement suggested in the replv given to the protest yestsrday were not satisfactory. He then added the de- ttiaiid that some further step be taken looking to nullification of the California law.
