SACRAMENTO. May 1—The ad
visability of strengthening the de
fenses of the Pacific Coast were dis
cussed here to-day while the Thomp
son anti-alien bi!i 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 the 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:
'T 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.”

Slayer With Posse
Searching for Him
Negro Mingles With Men Trying to
Capture Him, Then Escapes
in Darkness.
AUGUSTA. GA., May 1.—By working
a clever ruse. Henry Austin, negro slay
er of Frank Bowers and B. H. Beden-
field, and would-be slayer of Dr. S. C.
Moore, McTeer Bowers. George Hanna
and another white man., all of whom he
wounded, near Luray, *S. C., evaded a
posse early to-day and escaped into the
dense Savannah River swamps.
Fires had been kindled on the outer
edges of the .swamp in which the fugi
tive was hiding and negro farm hands
piled on wood to dispel the darkness
enough to see the negro if he tried to
slip out of the swamp.
Austin walked out of the swamp un
observed and mingled with the other
negroes, hiding his gun under his coat.
Finally his voice was recognized, but
before he could be captured he escaped.
Bloodhounds were put on* the trail at
daybreak.
