era FAILS TO
ANTI-JAP BILL
California Legislators Demand
That Nippon State Specifically
Its Objections to Measure.
SACRAMENTO, CAL., April 29.—
Sentiment to-day In the California
Legislature favored the adoption of
an anti-alien land hill similar to the
one that brought Secretary of State
Bryan scurrying across the continent.
Legislators are disappointed at the
statement from Bryan They believed
he would disclose the diplomatic ex
pressions that had passed between
rhe United States and Japan. When
they found he merely desired to am
plify the statement wired Governor
Johnson there was distinct disap
pointment.
"Be specific" is the demand heard
en every hand If there were actual
objection to the land bill as proposed,
the legislators feel they are entitled
to know what that objection was.
Aeordlngiy they will ask that Japan
Sell the State Department what is ob
jectionable, and that this statement
be transmitted to the lawmakers.
The legislators point out that Ja
pan made no protest against similar
taws in other States. They say Mr.
ttryan himself was evidently unaware
of the passage of these laws, and
want to know why Japan objerts 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 Japan. Un
less this objection is stronger than
any representation now made, ac
cording to a majority leader, tiie 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 White
House to-day to consider latest de
velopments in the California-Japa-
nese situation. Thf President plainly
is worried by the alien bill complica
lions.
Acting Secretary Moqre was called
to the executive mansiqn because of
his extensive knowledge of interna-
i tional law.
While the administration (To^s not
hope for a settlement entirely s’aHs
factory to Japan and while President
WiI»on is certain the entire situation
is a plot to embarrass him, the Presi
dent will do everything possible to
obtain the passage of a denatured
alien land law bill.

“The excitement attending bid

“There is nothing wrong with a

there is with a theatrical perform

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 fron
the cradle, with the spirit of snob
bishness. The-education of the child
is not as 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 I took them to Eu
rope. They are taught there the
things they really need most—man-
k ners and languages.”

9 California Not Bound
By Treaty, Says Works.
WASHINGTON, April 29.—Assert
ing the right of California, to enact
laws prohibiting aliens from holding
lane!*, 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 there’by.
He suggests that the treaty ob
structing the rights of the States be
abrogated as one solution of the dif
ficulty.
Senator Works' statement follows:
Every State in the Union has
the right to provide by law who
shall hold and own lands within
the State and to except aliens
from 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 State 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. If 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 the other hapd,
the President is strictly within
. his rights in endeavoring to per-
i 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
\f the Japanese Government may
just as well understand once for
ail that such subjects of that na
tion as are coming to California!
are extremely objectionable to our
neopie. and that their permanent
ownership of land in the State
will not be allowed.

minutes, and wash off with Resinol
Soap and more hot water, finishing
with a dash of cold water to close
the pores. Do this every morning
and evening, and you will be sur-
presed to see how quickly the heal
ing. antiseptic Resinol balsams soothe
ami cleanse every pore, leaving the
complexion clear and velvety.

stantly and speedily heals eczema,
and other skin humors, dandruff,
sores, burns and piles. Sold by every
druggist. Resinol Onitment in opal
