ANTI-JAP BILL
California Legislators Demand
That Nippon State Specifically
Its Objections to Measure.
SACRAMENTO, CAL., April 2*.
Sentiment to-day in the California
Legislature favored the adoption of
an anti-alien land bill similar to the
obp that brought Secretary of State
fer.van scurrying across the continent.
legislators are disappointed at the
Kiifraent from Bryan. They believed
he would disclose the diplomatic ex
pressions that had pasaed between
the United States and Japan When
they found he merely desired to am
plify the statement wired Governor
Jotuisoo there was distinct disap
pointment.
*‘Be specific” is the demand heard
bn evorj' hand. If there were actual
pfcdection to the laud bill as proposed,
tile legislators feel they are entitled
to know what that objection was.
accordingly they will ask that Japan
t»ll the State Department what is ob
jectionable, and that this statement
Lc transmitted to the lawmakers.
The legislators point out that Ja-
p»n made no protest against similar
laws in other States. They say Mr.
Bryan himself was evidently unaware
of the passage of these laws, and
want to know' why Japan objects on
diplomatic grounds In the case of
California and not in other cases.
It was considered a certainty to
day that unless this answer was
forthcoming the Legislature would
not delay much longer. The law
makers indicated they would con
sider any answer from Japa*n. Un
less this objection is stronger than
any representation now made, ao-
lording to a majority leader, the bill
will be passed.
International Law
Expert Advises Wilson.
WASHINGTON. April 29.—Presi
dent Wilson and John Bassett Moore,
Acting Secretary of State, held an
extended conference at the While
House to-day to consider latest de
velopments in the California-Japa
nese situation. The President plainly
is worried by the alien bill complica
tions*.
Acting Secretary Moore was called
to the executive mansion because of
his extensive knowledge of interna
tional law.
While the administration does not
hope for a settlement entirely satis
factory to Japan and while President
Wilson is certain the entire situation
it- a plot to embarrass him, the Presi
dent will do everything possible to
obtain the passage of a denatured
alien land law* bill.
California Not Bound
By Treaty, Says Works.
WASHINGTON. April 29.—Assert
ing the right of California to enact
laws prohibiting aliens from holding
lands. Senator Works, of California,
in a statement to-day said if the Na
tional Government makes a treaty in
fringing upon this right the State is
not bound thereby.
He suggests that the treaty ob
structing the rights of the States be
abrogated as one solution of the dif-
vflculty.
Senator Works' statement follows:
Every State in the Union has
the right to provide by law who
shall hold anti own lands within
the State and to except aliens
frorll that right. A number of
the States have already done so.
The National Government has no
right to enact "any law or make
any treaty that will deny or im
pair that right on the part of a *
State.
Therefore, the Governor and
the Legislature of the Stat< of
California are strictly within
their rights when they insist upon
enacting an alien law. whether it
excludes civilians of all or only of
one foreign nation. Jf the Na
tional Government has made a
treaty which infringes upon these
rights, the State is not bound by
it and may enact such a law not
withstanding. On tlie other hand,
the President is strictly within
\ his rights in endeavoring to per
suade the. State to waive its rights
and respect a treaty made with a
foreign nation.
But neitner our Government
nor a foreign nation has any
right to coerce a State to prevent
lawful legislation by it, and no
self-respecting State could sub
mit to any such coercion or dic
tation from either source.
' The people of the country and
the Japanese. Government may
just as well understand once for
all that such subjects of that na
tion as are coming to California
are extremely objectionable to our
people, and that their permanent
ownership Of land in the State
will not be allowed.

Lad in Poor District of
Washington.
WASHINGTON. April 29.—The

White House to the bedside of a po ir
boy who is dying of tuberculosis.

Declares American
Children Snobbish
Mrs. Adelaide S. Lean Tells Why
She Educates Girls in Paris In
stead of United States.
NEW YORK, April 29.—“The chil
dren of this country of the well-to-
do classes are imbued, almost from
the cradle, with the spirit of snob
bishness. The education of the child
is not ;s yet on a proper basis in
this country. That is why my two
girls are being brought up in Paris
and will remain there until they are
sixteen.”
Mrs. Adelaide Starr Lean, who has
lived in Paris for the last five years,
made this statement at the Waldorf-
Astoria. She continued:
“My girls began to talk about ‘so
ciety.* There were dances and par
ties every day, so 1 took them to Eu
rope., They arc taught there the
things they really need most 1 —man
ners and languages.”
