The House, after a two hours’ recess, reconvened at 8 o’clock (10 o’clock Atlanta time) to-night and resumed debate on the anti-alien land bill. The measure was finally passed by an overwhelming majority. The Senate early to-day passed the bill by a vote of 36 to 2. By JOHN TEMPLE GRAVES. (Editorial Correspondence of The Sunday American.) WASHINGTON. May 3.—Now that Secretary Bryan’s mission to Cali fornia has failed, and the California Legislature has passed the alien land bill, the President is inclined to test In the Supreme Court by some action instituted or backed by the Govern ment itself the right of California to pas% anti-Jap legislation held to be in violation of existing treaties. A conference will be called to map out the future course of this inter national controversy. The conference will include President Wilson, Sec retary Bryan .(if he returns in time), Assistant Secretary John Bassett Moore, Attorney General McReynolds. Senator Bacon, chairman of the Sen ate Committee on Foreign Relations, and Representative Flood, chairman of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs. Perhaps other Senators and Representatives an cl diplomats may be Invited. The Japanese Consul at San Fran cisco was instructed to cable the ver batim text of the anti-alien bill to To- kio as soon as it passed, and the ad ministrations of both nations are sim ultaneously considering the essential point, whether or not the law violates the American-Japanes*e treaty now in force. A high official in our Government declares that should the Japanese Cabinet and the Mikado decide that the California law violates the treaty there will bo only two conditions and only two remedies. Two Conditions. First. Japan in order to be con sistent with the insistent demands made by her Ambassador at Washington must send her final word or ultimatum to our Gov ernment. Second. That Japan will seize upon the slight change in phrase ology which omits the words “in eligible to citizenship” to save her face and will step down from the - hostile position she has assumed— as she did once before when Pres ident Roosevelt sent our battle ship fleet “to Japan on a friendly visit.” In case Japan spends an ultimatum, two remedies are discussed at the State Department. First. That 'the United States, through the State Department, should offer to intervene in the courts and have the constitution ality of the alien law tested be fore our Supreme Court. Second—That Secretary Bryan, pursuing the policy prescribed by President Wilson, should invite pourparlers with the Japanese Ambassador with a view to bring ing about a modus vivendi. The modus vivendi is equivalent to a gentleman’s agreement. It bad a precedent on the last occasion when Japan became insolent and aggressive over the exclusion of their growfi-up Continued on Page 4. Column 5.

BERLIN, May 3.—The wedding of ex-King Manuel of Portugal to Prin cess Leopold Hohenzollern will tak^ place in August. NEW YORK, May 3—Ten thousand persons—mostly women, of course— marched ud Fifth Avenue to-day to make the most effective and orderly demonstration that America has ever seen. Nearly every State in the Union | was represented in the parade. De- j spite the sweltering heat of 88 degrees and the added heat from the pave ment, not one marcher faltered Ten thousand would appear to be a fair enumeration. The anti-suffragist counting machines working Indus triously at Fifth Avenue and Thirty- sixth Street registered 9,612. This in cluded 571 bandmen and . 17 police men. A private count showed 9.824 in all. ‘At any rate, the thousands who thronged Fifth Avenue from Un ion Square to Fifty-ninth Street saw* a sturdy army of women that marched with the precision of Uncle Sam’s reg ulars. Of the 10,000 there were probably 1,000 men. In these men the sidewalk mobs saw* written plainly the fact that the suffragist has long ceased to be a thing to mock. Men of Note in Line. State Senators and Assemblymen. Judges of the high courts, prominent members of the bar and the m-tatstn*. and, with the exception of the mayor, most of his official family, who re viewed the parade from the grand stand, put exclusively at their disposal by the parade committee, showered continuous applause on the marchers as they stepped briskly along in mili tary fashion past the stand in front of the public library, where 1,61)0 proud husbands, including some of the'fore most political, professional, business and social leaders of the city^ re viewed their marching wives. No women were In the reviewing stand The special orders of the day. issued by Miss Inez Milholland, grand mar shal, were as follows: If your friends w’on’t march, cut them dead. Eyes to the froi i. No talking or laughing. Keep step. Head erect and shoulders back. Remember you are marching for a principle. There was an average of ten police men to a block from Washington Square to Fifty-ninth Street, along Fifth Avenue and special details of mounted men were told officially to precede and follow the column to guard against the possibility of any such disorder as marked the inau gural suffrage parade in Washing- top. V Mrs. Burleson Starts Pa>«de. Shortly after 2:30 o’clock Mrs. Richard Burleson, general marshal, gave a lusty “forward march,” and amidst ringing cheers the great ar ray swept forward. It took the parade precisely two hours to pass the reviewing stand. The final platoon of police, forced to every maneuver to press back the crowds which would have swallowed up the little Pennsylvania and Dela ware delegations at the rear, saluted the stand at 5:40. From the very outset when Miss Milholland nodded in appreciation of the grand stand applause, the pa rade promised to be marvellous one. Behind her a red coated band blared the “Marseillaise” in a fine swing ing tempo and clattering between the statuesque Miss Milholland and the band came, the chief marshal, Mrs. Burleson, upon a mettlesome charg er caparisoned in yellow. A cavalcade of horsewomen, who could really ride horses added dig nity to the vanguard and a band, ornate in yellow and black velvets, followed, playing “The Parade March,” which was composed for the occasion by Mollie Stern Lithauer, who walked in the musician's sec tion. Generl Rosalie Jones. Midway in the parade, came Gen eral Rosalie Jones and her hardy group of suffragists who followed her to Washington in February. Col.

I desire to commend, with all the emphasis at my command, the Hearst newspapers’ timely suggestion to _the people of Atlanta and Georgia that they remember the sanctity and majesty of the law of the land, and the sure operation of justice through the courts, in contemplating a recent horrible and unspeakable murder in our midst. I desire to offer the Hearst newspapers a word of praise in that they—leading newspa pers of the South—while being brave enough to print the news as it developed from day to day, still were brave enough to caution their constituency that it was, after all, merely the news of the day, and not evidence that might be considered competent in a court of law.—GOVERNOR JOSEPH M. BROWN. NEW YORK. May 3— Mrs. Evelyn Ne sbitt Thaw, wife of Harry K. Thaw, sailing for Europe on the Olympic to day, made public acknowledgment of her 2 1-2-year-old son. Russell, who left with his mother for an indefinite stay abroad. Others in the party were Mrs. Thaw’s maid and a Miss Spencer. Though the fact of Mrs. Thaw’s motherhood had been known for more than a year to her intimate friends, to-day was the first time that she acknowledged it in a public manner. Mrs. Thaw, still strikingly beauti ful, though in a more mature and matronly form, was apparently per fectly happy in her son’s company to day. He is a lusty little fellow with black curly hair and large black eyes. His mother’s pet name for him is “Pompom.” Mrs. Thaw could not be induced to discuss the boy’s resemblance to her husband. It can bt/ stated positively, how ever, that should Harry Thaw die pro ceedings would be begun in court at 'once to establish Russell Thaw’s right to succeed to Thaw’s estate, as his heir. Prove Boy’s Parentage. “I can prove the boy's parentage,” she said about a mopth ago. “But I absolutely will not go into any dis cussion of tlHit. “I know what the elder Mrs. Thaw’s attitude toward me is. She hates me. They have cut off my allowance from Harry’s estate. That was unjust, but I can get along without it, though it would be of livnntage to me in pur suing my work In seulptute. But I can support myeelf. I intend, how ever. to protect the Interests of my son.” Mrs. Thaw tried to conceal herself on board the Olympic to-day and re mained hidden in hor two state rooms, but she was discovered by the reporters. “I had hoped,” she said, “it had been my fondest wish that ‘Pom pom’ here and I might slip away from New York without notice. I am trying to bury myself away from all publicity, but since you have discovered me, why you must come in and be introduced, officially in troduced, you know, to my son, Rus sell. “It is the first time that Russell has been introduced to a newspaper man and it will be the last if I can only contrive to stay out of sight.” “This is ‘Pompom’,” she said gravely. “H e is my son. He is two and a half years old now*. Before very long, he will be old enough for his little ears to be filled with the buzzing of people’s tongues. I have only a few years left in which to bury all that has passed before these little ears will be wise enough to hear. “All My Life Now.” “He is now all my life—all my hope —everything. His baby hand holds my whole life In Its dimpled palm —just look what a tiny hand to hold so serious a burden. “It will be hard, oh, so hard, to keep from his little ears what should not come, though. I shall send him to an English school when he grows up. I will always be near him to put my hands over his ears.” The boy was born in Hamburg, Germany, a little less than a year after the Thaw sanity hearing at White Plains, in August, 1909. At that time Thaw lived in quar ters asigned to him in the court house at White Plains and was per mitted to receive frequent visits from members of his family. It was some time after this that he and Evelyn parted in anger. Georgia’s Executive Gives High Praise to Hearst Newspapers for Their Stand for Law and Order and Fair Trial for Accused. Joseph M. Brown, Governor of Georgia, last night gave to Hearst’s Sunday American the following ringing and significant interview, in respect of the Phagan murder mystery: By GOVERNOR JOSEPH M. BROWN. DESIRE to commend, with all the emphasis at my command The Hearst newspapers’ suggestion to the people of Atlanta I and Georgia that they remember the sanctity and majesty of the law of the land, and the sure op eration of justice through the courts, iii contemplating a recent horrible and unspeakable crime, committed in our midst. I commend all newspapers, and persons, and influences, and things that hold fast to the law in timet; of anxious suspense, and when wild and irresponsible ru mor runs riot in a community. We must hold ever in mind that the people have established the processes of law, and that those processes work through the courts, with judges and juries. Trials of criminals must not be conducted in the newspapers, on the. street corners, in the cafes— not even in the homes. Trials must be conducted in the authorized temples of justice, and not elsewhere. They must not be based upon suspicion or hearsay, but upon competent .evi dence, sworn to by the mouths of creditable witnesses, or estab lished upon such combinations of circumstances as legally prove the guilt or innocence of the ac cused. GOV. J. M. BROWN No elements of class favoritism or race prejudice should op erate either for or against a defendant or suspect. The law requires, and jealously, the conviction of a criminal beyond a reasonable doubt, and neither disconnected nor frag mentary evidence will do in cases involving the life and liberty of persons charged with infractions of the law. A recent dreadful crime in Atlanta has shocked the entire State beyond expression. It is known that a young girl, fresh in the flower of youth, has been foully murdered. That fact, and the place and some of the primary circumstances of the crime are settled, beyond dis pute—but, no more. Certain suspects are in jail—within the State’s custody, safe and secure. As yet no one has been indicted by a Grand Jury. That point in the consideration of the matter will be reached in its place. Suspicions, street gossip, rilmor, it makes no difference how seemingly plausible, have no place in shaping a verdict for or against anybody now. The process of the State's law has been promptly inaugurated and is proceeding in order. There is no reason whatever to doubt that it will go forward in dignity, and with all due haste, to the conclusion of the investi gation. The Coroner's jury now lias the Phagan case in hand, and is intelligently and fairly sifting the testimony. Where the Cor oner leaves off, the Solicitor will take it up, and thus on. through the Grand Jury, to the court house, the judge and the jurv. This process has been evolved of the long experience of the Anglo-Saxon race—the highest type of humanity on earth and the ultimate aim of that, process is, and ever has been, the firm and certain establishment of the truth, and consequently the in telligent and thorough application of justice. hi passing, and in further emphasis upon the necessity of pre serving calm and poise in the situation discussed, T desire to offer the Hearst newspapers a ‘word of praise in that they—leading newspapers of the South—while being brave enough to print tin- news as it developed from day to day, still were brave enough to caution their constituency that it was. after all, merely the news of the day, and not. evidence that might be considered competent in a court of law. That was a manly thing to do. It renewed and rejuvenated my persistent faith in the fairness of Georgians, and in their ever present desire to work justice to all and injustice to none, no mat ter how high or how low, or of whatever creed or cult, sect or faith, color or condition. The law holds the scales evenly, between the State' and thf accused, and at all times its eventual aim is justice. The State exacts justice for herself and accords it to the accused. I have been moved to say this much to you, and through you to the public, in the interest just now of fair play, of law and or der—all so dear to my heart, and to the ljearts of a vast majority of Georgians. We must bear in mind that the State is quite as anxious to fix upon the right party the responsibil ity for this great crime as any man can be, and that the State is infinitely bet ter equipped to do this than any indi vidual, 'of his own motion, could be.

Atlanta Men Start Knoxville Vice War Rev. Dunbar H. Ogden and Dr. Stew art Roberts to Tell of Campaign Here. KNOXVILLE, TENN., May 3.— Rev. Dunbar H. Ogden and Dr. Stew art Roberts, of Atlanta, are in Knoxville to-night to deliver ad dresses to-morrow afternoon at a mass meeting to inaugurate an anti vice campaign in this city. The At lanta visitors will tell of the war on vice that resulted in closing the restricted district of Atlanta. and make suggestions on how to conduct a similar campaign here. Dr. Ogden arrived last night and Dj\ Roberts came to-night. The campaign here, like that in Atlanta, is to be more educational than otherwise. Dr. Ogden was formerly pastor of the First Presbyterian Church here. He will also preach from that pulpit to-morrow. Grand Jury to Take Up Phagan Case To-morrow The uncertainty that has marked every phase in the case of Mary Pha gan probably will be somewhat re moved w’hen the new Fulton County Grand Jury for the May term of thaP Superior Court meets to-morrow. Def inite action by that body is antici pated after the Coroner’s jury, which also resumes its sessions to-morrow\ has reached a decision. The action, it is believed, will he the result of the efforts of a small army of private detectives regained by the authority of Solicitor General Dorsey. The number of the detec tives could not be determined, but ;t i is the opinion in official circles that • the county and the State are readv, l if necessary, to spend an unlimited | sum to bring the murderer of Mary Phagan to justice. 1 The State has taken a hand In the investigation, co-equal with the city, and every force at the command of the Solicitor General has been em ployed to unravel the mystery. It was at the request of Solicitor Dor-- sey that the investigation of Coromv Donehue was suspended last Thurs day afternoon, when more than 20«i witnesses had been subpenaed. that he might make a thorough examina tion for himself before all the facts in the hands of the police were made public, and before any possible clew j^ot cold. It was for this reason that a con- ! ference was held yesterday, at which were present the Solicitor Genera). Chief Lanford of the detective force and Coroner Donehoo, after which the party went to the scene of the tragedy for a personal investigation. In the MMlM
