Babies Not Allowed “at Large/' Latest “Don't" for Shoppers; pinched 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 nellsvlll<\ Pa . has ordered all cit izens to leave their go-carts and babies at home Saturday nights when thev go shopping.— NEWS 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 by order Saturday. And that Is why the. traffic whirls, along its giddy way. 3 ALDERMEN TO F E T Continued from Page One. 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 dence the trial was continued until Ask your druggist for it. " If he cannot supply th«?
