FAILS TO

ANTI-JAP BILL
California Legislators Demand
That Nippon State Specifically
Its Objections to Measure,
SACRAMENTO, CAL., April 2$.—
Ssntlment to-day In the California
Legislature favored the adoption of
• n antl-allen land bill similar to the
one that brought Secretary of State
Bryan scurrying across the continent.
Legislators are disappointed at the
atatement from Bryan. They believed
jhe would disclose the diplomatic ex
pressions that had passed between
the 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
on 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.
Acordlngly they will ask that Japan
Ml the State Department what is ob
jectionable, and that this statement
be tranamitted to the lawmakers.
The legislators point out that Ja
pan 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 Japan. Un
less this objection is stronger than
any representation now' made, ac-
<ording to a majority leader, the bill
will be passed.
International Law
Expert Advises Wilson.
WASHINGTON. Ajpril 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. 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
is a plot to embarrass him, the Presi
dent will do everything possible to
obtain the passage of a denatured
alien land law bill.

Dying Consumptive
President's Wife Takes Flowers to
Lad in Poor District of
Washington.
WASHINGTON, April 2».- -The
sympathy and charity of Mrs Wood-
row Wilson were illustrated a few
days ago by her Journeying from ths
Wiiite House to the bedside of a poor
boy who is dying of tuberculosis.
l>r. Gary Grayson naval surgeon
and aide to the President who spends
spate moments caring for the sick
poor, told the President's wife of a
particularly distressing rase.
Mrs. Wilson was touched. Collec -
ing a bunch of spring flowers from
the garden, she accompanied Dr.
Grayson In a White House automo
bile to the home of the unfortunate
lad trr the poor district of the na
tional capital.
Commits Hari Kari
Over Jap Alien Bill
Chicago Oriental's Suicidal Proteat
Follows Bryan’s Visit on
Way to California.
CHICAGO, April 29 A Chicago
Coroner’s jury to-day got its first in
troduction to harl kari, when It was
called upon to render a verdict on the
suicide of Lar Kie Kum, a young Jap
anese who ended his life as a protest
against the proposed California anti
alien land law.
For several days before his death
Lar Kie Kum every day bought every
edition of every newspaper issued in
Chicago, and read every word of the
dispatches from Sacramento and
Washington.
On the day Secretary Bryan was in
Chicago on his way to California the
young Japanese said he would give
several years of his life for a talk
with Bryan.

WASHINGTON. April 2M Several

“Watching Baseball
Games Is Harmful"
Play Furnishes Too Much Excite
ment for Spectators, Says Dr.
Sargent, of Harvard.
CAMBRIDGE, April 29. Dr Dud
ley A. Sargent, Harvard's expert n
physical culture, said to-day:
"The excitement attending bf:
games is harmful. Thousands of men
and boys and even women become
unduly excited over the athlet' •
prowess of professional players.
"There is nothing wrong with a
ball game as such any more than
there is with a theatrical perform
ance as such, but such games arousi
emotion without furnishing a motor
outlet. We are overdoing one phase
of the so-called love of sport."

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 us 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
ners and languages."
California Not Bound
By Treaty, Says Works.
WASHINGTON, April 29.—Assert
ing: th« 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 tie
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
j 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 r 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 hand,
the President is strictly within
v*i 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-
t t2*ion from either source.
The people of the country and
the Japanese Government may-
just as yvell understand once for
ail 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.
EASY WAY TO GET
RID OF PIMPLES
Resinol Really Does What
Cosmetics are Supposed
to Do. .
It is so easy to pet rid of pimples
and blackheads with Resinol. and it
costs so little, too, that anyone whose

foolish to keep on with useless
creams, washes or complicated
‘‘beauty treatments." Here’s the
way to do it:
Rathe your face for several minutes
with Resinol Soap and hoi water,
then apply a little Resinol Ointment
very gently. Let this stay on ten
minutes, and wash off with Resinol
Soap and more hot water, finishing
with a dash of cold water to close
the pores. Do ihis every morning
and evening, and you will be sur-
presed to see how quickly the heal
ing. antiseptic Resinol balsams soothe
and cleanse every pore, leaving the
complexion clear and velvety.
Resinol positively stops itching In
stantly and speedily heals eczema,
and other skin humors, dandruff,
sores, burns and piles. Sold by every
druggist. Resinol Onitment in opal
jars. 50 cents and $1.00. Resinol
Soap, 25 cents. For generous free
trial, write Dept. 14-S, Resinol, Bal
