"1 am sure we are going to break a
record for the amount of money
taken in,” said Mrs. \Y. S. Elkin, of
tlie central committee. “Even if we
don’t we will have broken one record
and that Is in the number of pretty
girls we have had to tag the people.
I never saw so many in my life.
Money Is Flowing in.
‘The money is simply flowing in
from all directions and the returns
up to the present are very encour
aging. We can scarcely keep up with
the demand for more buckets and
tags. Everybody seems enthusiastic
and those who art* giving are doing so
cheerfully and a great many have
stopped in and made voluntary sub
scriptions of very substantial
amount*."
Mrs. J. Prank Meador, stationed at
the entrance to the Atlanta National
Bank, was apparently vying with the
tellers laboring in the banking room.
“Business is line," she smiled. T

$5."
Buckets Get Too Heavy.
Mrs. Frank Dabney, Mrs. L. C. Mc
Kinney and Mrs. James Ison, .sta
tioned at the Steiner-Emery Build
ing. were getting the money by the j
bucket full and during the morning it j
became necessary for them to make
frequent trips to headquarters*, across
the street, in order to relieve them
selves of the weight of silver.
A particularly attractive group of
girls is that on the Aragon Hotel
block. Mrs. Charles Godfrey is in
charge there, and she says that this
Tag Day is much belter than last
year’s.
Miss Maude Arthurs Weir, a pret
ty Canadian girl, came all the way
1 from Toronto to help the "taggers.'
) Miss Weir was here last year and
j said she would not miss an Atlanta
Tag Day for worlds. Her contribu
tions have ranged from 3 cents to $1.
.Miss Cobble Vaughan say* the men
call her "girlie,” "bright eyes" and
"cutie” but they pay for the privi
lege. Misses Annie Sykes Rice. Doug
lass and Edith Dunson all agree that
the men are "perfectly nice and
sweet."
One Policeman is Lucky.
The policeman in front of the Can

She says receipts are much larger
than they were in 1912. Miss Mainer
Lee Hardin is of the opinion that the
men would have a Tag Day, too, if
they knew how much fun it is. Miss
Marian Perdue finds the men very
nice and generous, not one in a hun
dred refusing to help.

CITIZENS OF CALIFORNIA TO
J
SACRAMENTO, May 12.-—Referendum of the anti-alien bill
to tUe people of California has been determined on by the Demo
cratic leaders of the State.
This was learned to-day following the receipt of a telegram
from President Wilson to Governor Johnson asking him to veto
tile measure.
The bill was scheduled to
reach Governor Johnson to-day
from the Committee on Enrolled
Hills, where it lias been held up.
The session of the Legislature ends
to-day, and under the provisions of
the constitution 30 days ensue during
which time the Governor may sign or
veto the bill. At the end of that time
if it receives no action at the hands
of the Executive it becomes a law.
Governor Stays Silent.
The Governor to-day admitted re
ceiving the message from President
Wilson, transmitted through Secre
tary of State Bryan, hut refused to
comment on it. It was generally be
lieved here that eventually he would
sign the measure. Theodore A. Bell,
national Democratic committeeman.
Is here watching the situation closely.
He is the leader of the referendum
plan.
It was learned that petitions call
ing for a referendum vote on the
measure have been prepared and stmt
to various central points in the State.
The moment the anti-alien land bill
becomes a law these petitions will be
circulated. It is confidently expected
that a sufficient number of names to

WASHINGTON. May 12.—President
Wilson, through Secretary of State
Bryan, has made a formal plea to
Governor Johnson, of California, to
veto the alien-land bill.
The message to California’s* Gov
ernor was framed at the White House
last night. It sets forth in diplo
matic language the urgency of the
situation created by the demands of
Viscount Chinda, the Japanese Am
bassador.
The message to Governor Johnson
follows:
Two Courses Open.
The President directs me to ex
press his appreciation of your
courtesy in delaying action on
the land bill now before you. un
til its provisions could be com
municated to the Japanese Gov
ernment and considered by it.
His Excellency. Baron Chinda.
has, on behalf of his Government,
presented an earnest protest
against the measure.* As you
have before you but two alterna
tives. viz, to approve or to veto,
it will avail nothing to recall
to your attention the amendments
suggested to the Legislature; and
as the President has already laid
before you his views upon the
subject, it is unnecessary to reit
erate them.
He passes over the questions
affecting treaty rights for two
reasons; first, because the bill
passed by the Legislature is
avowedly intended to conform to
treaty obligations, and. second,
because any conflict complained
of would be a matter for the
courts, but the President feels
justified in expressinj asain liis
desire that action on the sub
ject be deferred for this session,
and he expresses the desire the
more freely because the Legisla-
tur can be reconvened at any
time if the welfare of the State
requires it.
He is fully aiive to the impor
tance of removing any root of
discord which may create antag
onism between American citizens
and the subjects of Oriental na
tions residing here, but he is im
pelled by’ a sense of duty to ex
press the hope that you will see
fit to allow time for diplomatic
effort. The nations affected by
the proposed law are friendly na
tions—nations that have shown
themselves willing to co-operate
in the establishment of harmo
nious relations between their peo
ple and ours.
President Offers Aid.
postponement commends
If
itself to your judgment the Presi
dent will be pleased to co-operate
in a systematic effort to discover
and correct any evils that may
exist in connection with land
ownership by aliens.
The decision of the administration
to urge Governor Johnson, to use his
power of veto to postpone any land
legislation was reached after a series
of conferences between the President.
Secretary Bryan and John Bassett
Moore, counselor of the State Depart
ment. and frequent calls at the de
partment by' Ambassador Chinda. It
was realized that any further attempt
to have the bill enacted by the Cali
fornia Legislature amended would be
fruitless, since Secretary Bryan’s trip
to Sacramento was unavailing and
the Legislature is to adjourn next
Tuesday.
Until Governor Johnson’s reply is
received the Government probably
will make no reply to the protest of
Japan further than to acquaint the
Ambassador with the fact that every
possible effort has been made to have
action in California delayed, pending
a settlement of the problems involved
by diplomacy.
