ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. 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.

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.” :» I i 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.
