BRYAN DECIDES TO REMAIN President Protests Webb Meas ure, but Radical Thompson Act Is Sure of Passage. SACRAMENTO, CAL., May 2.,—The hardest and bitterest fig-ht that yet has been waged around the anti-alien legislation in tlie California Legis lature was due to take place in the Senate beginning at 11 o’clock to day. when the Thompson bill was to be made a special order of business. Protest against the Webb draft of the anti-alien land bill was voiced in a. telegram from President Wilson to Governor Johnson to-day. The tel egram said: I take the liberty of calling your attention to the Webb bill, w hit h would involve an appeal to the courts on a question of treaty rights and bring on what might be long and delicate litiga tion. WQODROW WILSON. Bryan Decides to Stay. Secretary'of State Bryan announc ed that in light of the present compli cations in the situation he would not start for Washington to-night, as had been planned. It was understood that the Curtin joint resolution will be reported at that time, calling upon the Legisla ture to delay indefinitely action on the pending bill and leave the entire sub ject of anti-alien legislation to the Government for settlement through a new treaty with Japan. Bill Certain to Pass. A poll of the Senate to-day showed that the Thompson bill will pass when it comes to a final vote. The Democrats were endeavoring to delay action. They were ready to offer nu merous amendments. On the final vote, however, they were expected to line up solidly for the measure. The Democratic platform pledges them to an anti-alien bill.

BOSTON. May 2.—Sales of wool have dropped again, with the Small business done largely at the expense of values, owing to conflicting re ports from Washington regarding the tariff. The trade is nervous. Dealers and manufacturers are likely to pro ceed cautiously until the bill has passed. Recent sales have reduced to a con siderable extent burdensome stocks of certain grades and the market is now in fairly good shape to meet the proposed tariff changes. Predictions are freely made That many mills will c lose down for longer or shorter terms or until the tariff uncertainty is removed.

LONDON. May 2.—The Govern ment continued its drastic warfare against the militant suffragettes to day. F. J. Drew, manager of the Victoria House Printing Company, where the militants’ newspaper. The Suffragette, was issued yesterday, was placed under arrest charged with complicity in an illegal act. In spite of the arrest, the women editors of the paper declared it would be on the streets-this evening as usual. While officers were taking Drew intv* custody, th* eight prominent members and officers of the Wo men's Social and Political Union, ar- I rested Wednesday in a raid upon I the Union’s headquarters, were be ing arraigned in Bow Street Court. The women arraigned were Miss Barbara Kerr, secretary of the Union; Miss Annie Kenney, business mana ger; Flora Drummond, known as "General.” and adviser to the "Vio lence Committee;" Miss Lake. Miss Lennox, Miss Barrett, Mrs. Saunders and one other. Aeroplane Campaign Planned. They were cnarged with destruction of property, conspiracy and inciting others to violence. Scotland Yard has learned of a new plan, that of having several aero planes fly over London, deluging the city with suffrage literature and dropping dummy bombs in the streets. The bombs will bear such inscriptions as the women have used! on the placards and implements of destruction. Miss MacCauley. who presided at last night’s demonstration of mili tants. declared to-day, "It is now war to the knife. ' "Home Secretary McKenna will find that he has adopted a game that two can play,” said Miss MacCauley. "He will find we are not children and that we have just begun to fight." Miss MacCauley would not say what dire consequences would follow if the Government continued using iron hand methods against the mili tants. Rail Disaster Averted. A disaster in which many lives might have been lost was averted to day at the Piccadilly Circus Station of the Subway when a track walker found a package containing a bottle of nitroglycerine on the track. He just had time to remove it from the rails w’hen a crowded express train thundered by. The attempted outrage is attributed to the suffragettes. In spite of the raid yesterday on the suffragettes’ headquarters, The Suffragette, somewhat diminished in size, appeared on sale. “It is the greatest blow the mili tant women have yet received,” ac cording to The Daily Chronicle. | speaking of the raid. “It is the-first step toward the complete suppression of the militant suffragette movement," says The Daily News.

May 2.—The Ohio Supreme Court decided that once a man is to pay alimony by order of the court he is not to be exempt from paying even if the wife dies.

Divorce was ranted Mrs. Stoneman in September 1907,'the decree including restoration of her maiden name and alimony. The alimony was fixed at $4,720 to be paid in instalments within three years. Before expiration of the three years Mrs. Stoneman died and the executrix sued for $1,000 still due. Stoneman contended that because his wife had died and had left no children and the estate solvent he could not be held for the alimony.

It has been ad journed until Monday afternoon next: and Until it is ended the State in not likely to take hold of the case except in so far as Solici tor General Dorsey may deem it necessary to acquaint hlmselfwith facts that may aid him when the t'oroner’s Jury renders its verdict. After this is done the case is turned over to the Solicitor Gen eral. as the chief prosecuting of ficer of Fulton Co ( unty. SECOND.—It is reported that a large number of witnesses—200— are to be subpoenaed by the cor oners jury, and that both Lee and Frank will testify. THIRD. The functions of a coroner's jury consist of hearing preliminary testimony, and hold ing persons under suspicion for Ihc Grand Jury, which is the le gal -ouy that finds indictments against those accused of crime. Investigation before the Grand Jury is on evidence and is much more complete than before the coroner's jury. FOl'RTH—Solicitor - General Dorsey's conference with Chief of Police Beavers and Chief of Detectives Lanford yesterday was not to express dissatisfaction with the police, hut to acquaint himself more fully with facts not yet made public.

Asked if he would seek to have orders given tiiat no one should talk with the prisoners, as was done In the Grace and Appelbautn cases, At torney Rosser said to-day that he, of course, would not consent to hav ing the prisoners harassed continually by friends and curiosity seekers, but that he would have no objections at all to lhe visits of the detectives. Frank and I.ee were removed front the police station to the Tower quietly and without any show of demonstra tion, effectually disposing of the re port. that the people of the city had been wrought up to a pitch of cx- eiiement where they were anxious to take the law into their own hands. Curious Crowd Avoided. Th e usual c rowd of curious persons had gathered in front of the police station, but the officers avoided them by taking the two men out the rear way and hurrying them over to the jail in automobiles. The groups of pepAons who were encountered in the brief trip made no comments, but looked on In silence. It was evident tiiat tlie public mind comprehended tiie uncertainty of the guilt of either of tiie two men ami that the person responsible for the death of Mary Phagan might even be still at large.
