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 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 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 wou^i only serve to compli cate international affairs which al ready are strained.” v 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.” Slayer With Posse Searching for Him Negro Mingles With Men Trying to Capture Him, Then Escapes in Darkness.
