HHPiPiP.... . .. sp^.; ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS, MkMKj on f ’ ■i T urgC FAILS TO MOVE 1 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.

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." SELMA DRUGGIST HELD 'ENEMIES DYNAMITE HOME FOR DEATH OF HIS WIFE OF POLITICIAN; 2 DEAD SKL.YIA. Vf.A..

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.
