Tokio Finds Itself Unable to Continue "Gentlemen's Agreement" Washington to Challenge Contentions in Friendly Reply. Washington, May .31 Japan's "solemn protest" against the exclu sion section of the new Immigration law was formally presented to bee retary Hughes today by Ambassador Hanihara, and was made public at the State Department without comment. Coupled with the protest Is the request of the Japanese government that the American government "take all possible and suitable measures" for removal of "discrimination." The communication declares international discriminations are particularly "unwelcome'' when "based on race" and adds that discrimination of that character is expressed in the exclusion statute. The history of commercial agreements between the two countries, it is declared, shows that the Japanese government has sought to protect it nationals from "discriminatory immigration legislation in the United States, which position was "fully understood and appreciated by the Amican government." "The Japanese Government desire now to point out," says the note, "that the new legislation. is in entire disregard of the spirit and circumstances that underlie the conclusion of the treaty (of 1911)." It Is added that the provisions of the new law "have made it im-.

possible for Japan to continue the undertakings assumed under the gentlemen's agreement," Japan's Patience Wasted." "The patient, loyal, and scrupulous observance by Japan for more than 1 years of thse self-denying regulations, in the interest of good relations between tne two countries, now seems to have wasted the tirotest continues. At the end Ambassador Hanihara aupenaed the following paragraph: "I am instructed further to express sthe confidence that this tton will be received by the American fjovernment in the same spirit of triendlinesa and candor In which it made." -y, Despite the silence mt sAdrrtlnlstr- tlon officials, it can be said definite vl that the titate Department is In i position to challenge In Its reply' the Japanese contention that tne exciu sion act can be construed as a par ticular discrimination against Japan and also to lake the position that the negotiations leading up to tne commercial treaty of 1911 in no way Justified an assumption that the United States was willing to limit its complete freedom to deal with imral- HERE AND NOW OUR OWN INVESTIGATIONS No. 1011.

LEADERS' 'STRIKE' URGED TO FORCE MILLERflfJD OUT Socialists Demand Herriot and Others Refuse I to Form Government, Paris, May. Si (By the Associated Press): On the eve of. the opening session of the new Chamber Deputies, political observers tonight were unable to see clearly the port toward which the French ship of state was heading under the influence of two directly opposed currents the insistence of the Socialists that Pres-fdent Millerand retire and the equally firm decision of the President to remain at the Elysee Palace.

The Socialists, according to the results of the meetings of their departmental sections, appear disinclined to authorize their members to take part in the new government, but this question will be finally settled at the party convention tomorrow morning- The expectation now is that they will offer their support to the Radical government, but that they will propose as a primary condition the resignation of President Millerand. M. Millerand, according to his closest advisers, fs entirely disinclined to leave the executive mansion at the behest of any party. He will remain at the Elysee unless both Houses of Parliament clearly express the sentiment that he ought to go. Would Refuse to Form Cabinet.

The Socialists, in view of this attitude, will, their leaders say, propose to Edouard Harriot, chief of the Radical party and potential Premier, that he refuse to accept the mission to from the government ut the hands of M. Millerand. By a general strike of the leaders of ihe new majority who might be called upon to head the new government, they hope to oblige M. Millerand to retire, as did Casimir Perler under similar circumstances in 1S95. The Elysee, it is said, will flr.t this -move by a message to both Continued Page 8.

1 IS FOUND GUILTY OF EXTREMEHERESY Bishops Reserve Decision on Author of "Com munism and Christian-ism." Cleveland. May 31 The Rt. Rev. William Montgomery Brown, D.D., formerly Protestant Episcopal Bishop of Arkansas and at present a member of the House, of Bishops, was found guilty o( "extreme heresy" by his colleagues of the House of Bishops sitting In trial court Jiere today. Bishop Brown, according lo the charge, "did hold and teach and distribute through a book, 'Communism and certain doctrines contrary to those held by the Protestant Episcopal Church of America." The court reserve sentnce, leaving the defendant still a bishop of the Church, as only one of the three possible sentences will strip him of his title and rank.

The possible decisions of the court as to the punishment to be meted are "admonition," "suspesion" or "deposition from office." The latter sentence only would forbid his again donning the robes of his office. Although Bishop Brown, during direct testimony, affirmed bis sincere belief in the Bible, and the Apostolic 'and Nicene Creeds of the Church, his interprteation of them as set forth in his book and preachings during the last several years, are ofllcip.lly denied as represnting the thought of the Church, by this verdict. Withdrew Admission of Heresy. Bishop Brown today withdrew his admission of yesterday that he was a heretic when he resumed tUfc stand before the trial board. "In my own estimation, I am not a heretic, he explained.

"I maintain that I have had the privilege of Interupetln the Holy Scriptures and my doctrinal stand, according to what Is usually called the spiritual interpretation. I call It Testifying yesterday. I should have said "my alleged heresies' On cross-examination today, Charles Dibble. Church Advocate, asked this question: "In your direct examination yesterday you rehearsed the articles of the apostolic and nicene creed, confessing your faith in each. Did you intend that confession to be a retraction of your book 'Communism and Christianism "Oh, no, not at all," was the reply.

This finished testimony In the The court settled upon three hours for argument, giving eacji side 90 minut4. John Smart, assistant to the church advocate, opened the final argument. He analyzed the language on the presentment, pointing out particulars in which the accusers Rsssm Bi; hop Brown's book controverted church doctrine as set out In the creeds and collects in -the book of common prayer. The final point was taht there was no "persecution" of Bishop Brown but only an attempt to "prevent htm from using his rights and privileges as a member of the House of Bishops to forward his own purnoses and propaganda." "This is no cruelty to Bishop Brown," said Mr. Smart.

"Tt Is, however, a fat ereater cruelty to tnou-sands of believers to deny to them that there Is a God to hear their prayers, a Saviour to Intercede for them and a Holy Snirit to uplift and sustain their souls."

May 31 Uncle Sam himself, in the person of his Customs House men, is the engineer of the extraordinary and drastic move which has led to the abrupt halting of motorcars on the roads of Suffolk County In the search for liquor.

This Draconian ot procedure, the spectacle of armed men suddenly confronting motorists with a gruff command to stop and the summary examination of the Interior of cars while the occupants await the pleasure of the searchers has greatly exercised the citizens of Suffolk County and raised the question whether Government officers are not overstepping their authority.

PEPPER PLAN FOR A WORLD COURT Say Republicans Have Defeated Action for American Adherence. Washington, May 31 In approv. Ing the Pepper plan the Republican majority of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee took the most cei-tain way for defeating any action by this Congress to secure adherence by (he United States to the World the Democratic members declared today in a minority report The refrort was signed by every uemocratic member, and was presented by Senator Swanson. Virginia, author of a proposal which, the minority asserted, comprised almost precisely the outlines given in tho messages of Presidents Harding an 1 Cooiidge. The recommendations of the two Presidents received no consideration from the committee, the mtnorily asserted, until Senator Swanson had introduced his resolution to make them effective.

If this resolution were adopted, the report declared, "the United States would have no legal connection whatever with the League of Nations, nor assume any of its obligations, as clearly pointed out by Secretary Hughes." Far from being dependent upon the League, the Democrats said, the court actually would be as independent as the American judiciary. American judges are confirmed by the Senate and their salaries fixed by Congress, it was agreed, without in any way destroying the independence of the Judicial system. "The decisions of the court having been universally approved, the undersigned members of the conimittie are unable to understand why a plan which has worked so well and mil it -factorily should be discarded for au untried plan. Sees No Good AccomplMied. "It Is believed that the adoption oi the plan recommended by the committee would not be productive of any good, but simply cause delay and prevent the United States from becoming a signatory member of the protocol.

It puts the United States in the undesirable attitude of dr 'manding that 48 nations should change an accepted and satisfactory plan to adopt an untried one." The Democratic report declared that "a very regrettable feature" of tbe committee recommendation m-as "its unconcealed enmity to the League of Nations." "This plan eliminates every mention of the League." It said, "except where it was impossible to strike out the narrlv without destroying the value of ma article entirely."

Washington, May SI A final wind-up of the long story of Gaston B. Means, the taking of a brief statement fro mSenator Lodge, and a fracas with Fink, a volunteer Informant, made up today's record in the Senate Daugherty investigation. At adjournment Chairman Brook-hart notified attorneys for H.

M. Daugherty that the committee wanted to hear the former Attorney General himself next Friday, and got a promise that his answer to the request would be. forthcoming Monday. Senator Lodge came in momentarily to make a brief but absolute denial tht- he had aided anybody, to obtain permits for the exportation of whisky. Means had mentioned him on direct examination as having been concerned with the granting of such permits to Craven Brothers New York firm.

The Senator said he had never even heard of the concern. Fink followed Senator Lodge by unexpectedly demanding that he be allowed to go on tne stand. He identified himself as "the man Frank Vandertip tried to get for $1,000," to give perjury testimony against President Coolodge, and fur ther asserting that he wanted to tall some story about Senator Wheeler, the committee prosecutor, furnish ing liquor to Roxie Stinson.

Leopold Jr. and Richard Loeb. bril- liant young post-graduate students in la wand members of millionaire i families, who today confessed the kidnaping and murder of 14-year-I old Robert Franks, also the son of; a millionaire, "in the pursuit of atl- venture," have abandoned all pre-1 tense signuitied their willingness to aid the police In reconstruct- ing one of the most amazing us well as one of the must brutal crimes in the history of Chicago. Young Leopold is 19 years old and Loeb is 18. Both are of unusual intellectual development and have achieved scholarly attainments far i byoon dtheir years.

Neither had exhibited any vicious tendencies up to I the time they went calmly about the business of kidnaping and murdering a helpless boy in quest ot a new thrill. The youthful murderers had no need for the $10,000 ransom they demanded of Jacob Franks, the boy's father. They were amply supplied with money by indulgent parents, and lived in the luxurious surroundings of one of the most exclusive residential sections of Chicago. Young Loeb knew the Franus boy: had played tennis with him. There was no question of enmity.

The boy was simply an innocent sacrifice to a ni'rbid craving for 3. "thrill" on the part of the brilliant students, according to the police. Studied Krotic Literature. Apparently both Loeb nnd Leopold were healthy mentally an i physically, although the lattor, who is said to speak 15 languages, has devoted himself to research bearing on morbid studies of sex ai.d had even made free translations ot certain eroltle literature rt the Oid World, which is suppressed from general publication Leopold, when questioned by the police, unhesitatingly admitted his absorption in this lopic. He discussed It with an engaging candor, apparently intended to imply- that neither he nor the police considered it of Importance despite the fact that the authorities hud built up one of their most seriously considered theories around just this subject.

Both Leopold and Loeb made It clear. that, their choice of the Franks boy as a sscrlfitu1 to their mania for excitement was wholly casual. They said any rich man's hon would have done as well and that actually they had, considered selecting the 'grandson 'C -of fjullu ltosenwald, murtt-mlllionulre- president of Sears.

Throughout his long examination, Loeb had shown no signs of weakening, though almost exhausted toward the end. Finally he was informed that Sven Bnglund. chauffeur for the Leopold family, had declared that the Leopold car, which played an Important part in the alibi I set up by the students, had remained in the garage on the night of the murder when they were supposed to have used It for a Jov ride.

I "Did he say that?" cried visibly shaken. I This advantage was followed up swiftly and within an hour Samuel Kttelson, attorney for the Franks: family, and a r.tenographer were called in to witness the confession. Loeb said he and Leopold got their idea for a kidnaping from de- tective stories last November and that they discussed and perfected It during the intervening months; before putting it into execution. was enticed Into a livery car hired for the occasion and beaten into unconciousness with a cloth- I wrapped chisel, which inter was found on the roadside.

"When we knew that he was dead, we poured acid on his face to disfigure him. then burled his ehoes nnd took his clothes to the Leopold home, where we burned them." continued Loeh, pale, hut composed. Then ar, an afterthought, he added: "We didn't have a thing against him. Why.

I've plnycd tennis with that kid a umber of times." The solution of the crime was reached by tracing a pair of horn-rimmeei spectacles found near in-' boy's body, which were finally proved to be the property of Leopold. He admitted ownership, but said he had lost them while studying bird habits in the vicinity of the murder scene. Trial of the two youths bo rushed with all dispatch and it is probable that a date will be fixed within the nex m-nth.
