wipniNi? THE Tokicarj
President, in Message to Gov
ernor Johnson, Asks for Inof- j
fensive Alien Land Law.
WASHINGTON. April 22. Prrsi-|
dent Wilson to-day appealed to Gov
ernor Hjrani .Johnson, of California,
and through him to the people of Cal
ifornia, not to pass any alien land law
which might antagonize Japan and
embroil the entire United States in a
conflict with the Japanese.
The President's message to Gov
ernor Johnson read;
I speak upon the assumption,
which I am sure is well founded,
that the people of California do
not desire their representatives
and that their representatives do
not wish nor intend—in any cir-
stances to embarrass the Govern
ment of the United Slates 1n Its
dealings with a nation with whom
it has most earnestly and cor
dially sought to maintain rela
tions of genuine friendship anti
good will, and that, least of all,
they desire to do anything that
might impair treaty obligations
or cast a doubt upon the honor
and good faith of the nation and
its Government.
Anxious to Avoid Challenge.
I therefore appeal with the ut-
rno»t confidence to the people, the
Governor and Legislature of Cali
fornia to act in the matter now
under consideration in a manner
that can not, from any point of
view, be fairly challenged or called
in question.
If they deem it necessary to ex
clude all the aliens who have not
declared their intentions to be
come citizens from the privileges
of land ownership, they can do so
along lines already followed in
the laws of many of the other
States, and as many foreign coun
tries. including Japan herself. In
vidious discrimination will inev
itably bring in question the treaty
obligations of the Government of
the United States.
Appeals to National Honor.
I register my very earnest and
respectful protest against dis
crimination in this case not only
because 1 feel it my duty to do so
as the Chief Executive of the na
tion. but also—and the more read
ily—because I believe that t lie
people and the legislative author-
ties of California will generous
ly respond the moment the matter
is frankly presented to them as a
question of national policy and
• national honor. If they have ig
nored this point of view, it is, 1
am sure, because they did not
realize what and how much was
involved.
WOODROW WILSON.
Californians Defiant.
Prior *o issuing the appeal. Presi
dent Wilson conferred with members
of the California delegation. They
'threw down the gauntlet of defiance,
saying that California is a sovereign
State and as such is justified in pass
ing such laws as she sees tit.
Representative Baker was particu
larly emphatic on this point, and in
dicated to the President that an in
fringement of the states' rights prin
ciple would not only be hotly resent
ed by California, but it would hasten
the. passage of a stringent anti-Jap
anese land law bill.
Wilson Message
Received by Governor.
SACRAMENTO. CAL., April 22. -
The lira ft of President Wilsons sec
ond message to the people of Calitor-
nla, advising moderation in anti-alien
land legislation, was received by Gov
ernor Hiram John m this afternoon.
The Governor at once began the prep
aration of a message submitting Pres .
idem Wilson's message to the Cali
fornia Legislature. It was reported
at noon that tile message would prob
ably go to the'Senate late to-day.
It was rumored that the message
would recommend that the legisla
ture proceed cautiously with the pro
posed legislation.
Pope Suffers a
Slight Relapse
Disobeys Physicians and Becomes
Depressed When Not Allowed to
Greet Pilgrims.
* Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian
ROME. April 22.—Disobedience of
hi ft doctors’ orders resulted in a slight
relapse in the condition of Pope Pius
X to-day. The Pope was mentally
depressed because he w as not allowed
10 greet a party of American pilgrims
who came here with Bishop Joseph
► Schrembs, of Toledo, Ohio, and seemed
to lose some of the strength lie had
gained during the past four days.
Dr. Marchiafava spent a longer pe
riod than usual in the sick chamber,
which gave rise to a report that the
Pontiff is sicker than the world real
izes.
Chief of Police lletzel. of Con

ITEM.
The cops along Fifth Avenue, where
Brooklyn goes to shop.
May now permit autos to run with-*
out a single stop;
And trolley cars that used to halt
without regard to place,
May now* proceed to hum along at
quite a. < ity pace.
For go-carts have been left at home

Incomes will be in the range of $•">,-
000 to $10,000. 'fires© will yield to the
Government, if the expectations of
the committee calculators are borne
out by experience, $5,340,000.
Tlie income tax, says the commit
tee's report, furnishes an easily col
lected, easily adjusted method of col
lecting funds to operate the Govern
ment and possesses the ability which
a tariff system does not possess of
being raised and lowered quickly to
meet new revenue necessities without
proving an embarrassment or dis
turbance to business.
“in the light of the experience of
other countries." the report contin
ues, "we recommend this income pro
vision in the confident belief that as
soon as this tax and its administra
tive machine become fairly under
stood by the people and adjusted by
tlie country its operation and effects
will meet with as much general satis
faction as any tax law. A personal
knowledge of the amount of taxes re
quired of the people would more
closely enlist their interest and ac
tive co-operation in all the affairs of
government, and especially with re
spent to revenues and expenses
adoption*
The
f the proposed tax. there
fore. would assist in arousing and
sustaining general public interest in
. behalf of economy at all times.”
Protection Blamed for Trusts.
I The report (‘alls attention to the
increase in th© cost of living since
ilie Dingley tariff law' went into ef
fect. and the development of indus
trial Combinations or trusts. The
protective system of the last decade
blamed for these conditions and
also for a too rapid diminution of the
natural resources of me country.
The tariff has been so high that in
demnity has been actually impaired,
according to the report.
“There is another serious condi
tion." the report points out. “which
must be directly attributed to the tar
iff. but of which little is actually said.
This is the experience of obsolete
plants and methods in many lines of
industry. ol£ machinery and out-of
-date methods being continued in
operation years after they have been
practically eliminated elsewhere. The
information in the hands of the com
mittee strongly confirms the belief
that there is rarely a high protected
industry in which a considerable per
centage of the plants and machinery
is not hopelessly behind the times*.
Admission of all the facts tn tlie
eouncilmantc graft investigation will
be made by the three Aldermen at-*
fused in John K. McClelland’* state
ments. J. VV. Maddox stated at the
meeting of the Council Investigating
Committee to-day that he would sub
mit his statement in writing to-mor
row afternoon. I. N. Ragsdale and
F. J. Sprat ling will take the stand
and tell their stories.
“There won t be any need for any
more witnesses after my clients. Al
dermen Ragsdale and Spratling. have
made their statements." said Attor
ney Luther Z. Rosser. “They* will
tell all the facts."
When H met to organize for the
probe the investigating committee
discovered that it had no prosecutor.
Alderman McClelland, who filed the
charges of corruption against the
three Aldermen, was not present and
he informed the committee he did not
intend to appear in the role of prose
cutor. .
Ellis Claims To Be Adviser.
Assistant City Attorney W. D. El
lis, Jr., was there, but announced that
his capacity was only that of ad
viser City Attorney Mayson was not
present, it is said, because he ex
pects to be called as a witness to de
fend Alderman Maddox.
“I think tli* 1 resolution ordering this
investigation instructs the City Attor
ney to take charge of the case,” said
Attorney Rosser.
“it authorizes me to get the truth,"
said Mr. Ellis.
“Well, I don't mean to invite your
legal talents against me," said Mr.
Rosser, "but I've seen this neutral at
titude tried by solicitors. You've got
to be on one side or the other.”
Put It Up to Committee.
Mr. Ellis finally said It was up 'o
the committee what attitude he should
take.
Charles T. Hopkins, attorney for
Mr. McClelland, had to leave Atlanta
for Washington to-day, and he re
quested a postponement of the inves
tigation until he returned. But Attor
ney Rosser insisted on action, and the
committee decided to begin the actual
taking of testimony to-morrow after
noon.
Chairman Candler said he was well
.-satisfied with the progress made to
day and that a speedy and thorough
investigation is assurred.
“There won’t be any ‘whitewashing.'
The public is invited to the sessions.
We will hear any and all charges."
Alderman John K. McClelland this
afternoon sent a letter to Assistant
City Attorney Ellis declining to at
tend the investigation and refusing
to give the names of the witnesses
against tlie accused until his attor
ney. Charles T. Hopkins, returns to
to city. He said he was too ill to
take any personal part in the probe.
Attorney Ellis sent a letter to Al
derman McClelland demanding the
names of the witnesses and that he
appear at the meeting of the com
mittee to-morrow afternoon.
Will Demand Death
Penalty for Boy, 14
GENEVA. ILL.. April 22.- The
death penalty likely will be demand
ed for Herman Coppes, fourteen years
old. confessed slayer of Mrs. Maud
Sleep nd her two infant children, at
Elgin, 111., according to Assistant
State Attorney Roy E. Philips, of
Kane County, to-day.
Three counts of murder will be
placed against Coppes. Philips said.
Despite his youth, the State may ask
that he be hanged as a warning to
other vicious boys.
His parents, who live in Plano, 111.,
have not visited him or attempted to
communicate with the young slayer.
County Commissioners Take Up
Accusations Against Wiley Rob
erts, Tower Steward.
i’h© County Commissioners to-day
took up c harges of drunkenness while
on duty and cruelty and neglect of
prisoners «t the county jail mado
against ihe steward, Wiley Roberts.
The charges of cruelty and neglect
are the outcome of an investigation
by the Grand Jury into conditions at
the Tower, but the charge of drink
ing while on duty was preferred by
Deputy Warden W. J. GillelanU.
The further charge is made by Dep
uty John Owens, of Sheriff Mangum's
office, that Roberts has repeatedly
made attempts to usurp the authority
of officers in that office.
The investigation on the part of
the Grand Jury was brought about by
two negro prisoners at the jail, who
made a complaint that they were not
properly fed, that they were not given
sufficient bed clothing, and othei wise
subjected to cruel and inhuman
treatment by the steward.
it is charged that immediately fol
lowing the investigation by the
Grand Jury, Roberts went to the jail
and took the negro prisoners who had
informed on him and placed them in
solitary confinement in a bare room,
subjecting them to cruel treatment.
The Board of County Commission
ers will make a thorough investiga
tion. in order to secure further evi
