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.

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. New York to Have Season of $2 Opera Harry Payne Whitney, W. K. Van derbilt and Others Make Possi ble the Popular Prices.
