SAN FRANCISCO. Ma ., i'he
anti-alien bill, a* soon hs it beiomfs
a law, will be attacked by referendum.
Word came from New ^ork th i
< alifornians at present in that city,
consulting their Eastern bu»,ness rep
resentatives, had joined in an urgent
appeal which will be telegraphed to
C. Moore, chairman of the Panama-
Pacific Exposition Board, asking thai
immediate steps be taken to petition
for a referendum on the issue, so that
it may be put squarely up to the peo
ple of the State.
The signer? of this message, it if*
reported, assert to Mr. Moore their
belief that the measure rushed
through the State Legislature will se
riously injure the prospects of Cali
fornia's great world’s fa Jr.
At the same time Assemblyman
.Shearer, of Del Norte, In Sacramento,
said that the referendum movement
now is on. He aaaerted yesterday
that the Senate bill, as affirmed in
the Assembly, did not fit the require
ments of the State as regards aliens,
and especially the Japanese, and that
a recall would be made necessary.
After the recall, in his opinion, the
right sort of anti-alien legislation
•ould be enacted He believes the
present bill is weak and that it will
not accomplish tin* purposes for
which it was ostensibly designed
California to Hear
From Washington Again.
WASHINGTON, May 5. Pending
»he return of Secretary of State Bry
an to the Capital, no action wifi be
taken by President Wilson or the
State Department with reference to
ihe California-Japanese situation. The
President to-day said that Governor
Johnson undoubtedly will receive a
communication from Washington with
reference to the bill, but that this
nesiage will not be drafted until afior
Secretary Bryan returns.

If his wife had given him only one

her, but she seemed to think it was

Of the iMM'i persons who oct ujpieti

though in the panic that followed
tile first alarm the corridors were
crowded with men and women drug

Charles Gusher, a guest rooming
on the fifth floor, slept throughout
th»' turmoil and awakened at 5:45
o’clock to inquire the cause of the
disturbance.
Henry Rees*-, a negro por-ler, dis
covered tin 11 aims in the rear portion
of the roof, which, it is believed, orig
inated from defective wiring in the
elevator shaft. H. A. Tisdell. the
clerk on-duty, attempted to ciear tnc

spread (if the flames prevented, and
before the fire department arrived tin-
halls and corridors were thronged
With the gues.s rushing pell-mell to

The building was flooded with wat

receiving warm praise for her faith
fulness in remaining at tier post in
the dense smoke that choked the loh-

will be brought to the attention of
(Congress at the present session or
held for the regular session.
THE PLAY
THIS WEEK
WASHINGTON. May o. The sun
dries schedule to-day was under con
sideration together with the’free list.
It is probable the House will com
plete these sections of the hill this
evening and take up the income tax
to-morrow.
The income tax section as framed
exempts all incomes of less than
$4,000 from taxation. Representative
Gillett, of Massachusetts, intends to
offer an amendment putting the limit
down so as to make incomes of more
t Vian $1,000 taxable. He believes a
low limit will have the effect of mak
ing people take a sharper interest in
Government finance and insist on
more rigid economy in Congress.
The amendment may obtain some
support on the Democratic side if the
Democrats have the courage to shake
off caucus ties and defy the leaders.
Ii is doubtful if any change will be
made in the bill.
An amendment by Representative
Britton, of Illinois, to make single
nu-n pay higher taxes than married
men will be offered. Representative
Kitehin, of North Carolina, has re
ceived a suggestion that poodle dogs
in “race suicide" families be taxed-in
lieu of children.
The House probably will vote on
the tariff bill Wednesday or Thurs
day.

This Way?
2 cups flour; 4 teaspoons Baking Powder; 2 tablespoons Swift’s Silver-Leaf Lard;
J cups milk; £ teaspoon salt. Mix dry ingredients and sift. Work in lard, add milk
gradually. If too stiff add a little more milk or water, (foil out, on floured board to i
inch thick. Cut and place in greased pan. Bake in hot oven. They are Jelicioui.
Swift’s Silver-Leaf Lard
is the very best shortening for Baking Powder
Biscuits, because it has just the right consistency
and richness to make them per
fectly light and flaky and you
can’t taste the lard in them.
Swift’s Silver-Leaf Lard is put up in tight

supervision of Government inspectors.
Jt is as clean and pure as lard can he
and it makes such tasty pastry.
