The president this afternoon held another conference with the mayor of San Fran-cinc- o and his California colleagues. Californians express their approval of the amendment to the immigration bill. The flllibuetering tactics adopted by the Democrats in the senate are adopted, not because of enmity to the Japanese exclusion idea, but aa a result of fear that the Republicans will force the whole bill through on the strength of the seriousness of the Pacific coast Mtuatlon. The preMdent, however, InMsts upon the retention of the provision In the The suggestion conference report. made by Tillman and Bacon, that the Japanese Mtuatlon be met by separate legislation, is obnoxious to the preMdent. He informed his visitors today that such a plan would cause deep offense to the Japanese government, and it would create a new instead of abat. ing an international crisis. The aim of the administration is to enact legislation to meet the demands of the Pacific Mope without humiliation to Japans pride. The preMdent feels this can only be done during the consideration of the measure dealing with the general subject of immigration. Shortly after the opening of the senate, Dillingham and Lodge decided to press the bill to consideration, in compliance with the expressed wishes of the preMdent As noon as the bill got before the senate,' Bacon renewed his opposition to the measure.

Those in charge of the conference report have expressed their fears tost the preMdent and advised him to augu-gewithdrawing from the report the provision affecting Japan.

Bacon declared It waa proposed to sedeprive the South of the right to decure needed alien labor. Lodge nied this Bacon resented the Insinuation that his attitude was not assumed in good faith.
