SACRAMENTO, May 1 The ad- vlsability of strengthening the de fenses of the Pacific (’oast were dis cussed here to-day while the Thomp son anti-alien bill awaited third reading and formal passage in the Senate. * Legislators were openly discussing war with Japan, since it was assured that the Legislature would pass the bill which President Wilson has said is unfriendly to tfie Nippon nation. Senator Thompson, whose name is attached to the anti-alien land bill, said to-day: “I favor strengthening the fleet in the Pacific for instant protection. I do not believe California should ap peal to Congress, however, because the Government at Washington knows the situation fully and such action at this time would only serve to compli cate international affairs which al ready are strained.” Senator Curtin, Democrat, agreed with Senator Thompson and added that he favored continued increased protection on the Pacific Coast. Senator Brown, Republican, said: “I see no need of any such action. My information is that Japan would not consider sending a single warship to our coast at this time.” More ladies and children visit the Bonita than any other picture house in Atlanta giving tab loid musical comedy.
