Sacramento, Cal. -- An anti-alien land ownership bill, dealgned primarily to prevent Japanese from acquiring title to real property within the state but so worded as to prohibit any alien from owning land more than one year except on a declaration of hia Inten tion to become a citizen wa passed by the lower house of the legislature by a vole of 00 to 15. The measure was drafted by a subcommittee of the ju- uiciary committee aa a substitute for other bills, all of which specifically provided that "aliens ineliKible to cit isenship" should not hold IhiuU. The committee, however, proceeded on the theory that auch a statute I might be held in vlolutlon of thai treaty rights of Jupanese subjects and broadened the measure to include all aliena who had not declared their in tention to become citizens. In order not to embarrass foreign corporations of large interest in the state, the committee did make the cor poration clause of the bill, section 8, apply only to "aliens not eligible to citizenship." ARIZONA HAS ALIEN STATUTE Federal Official Discover Law That Never Haa Been Enforced. Phoenix, Arix. That Arizona haa a law forgotten aince ita enactment a year ago prohibiting persons not eli gible to American citizenship from ac quiring title to real property in this state, was brought to the attention of Federal ofllcials here Thursday. The government authoritiea aaid they would call the meaaure, enforce ment of which never haa been attempt ed, to the attention of the State de partment. Under the provisions of the law all aliena holding land at the time of its enactment must surrender title within five years. F.ven when title ia acquired by the enforcement of liena or judgment, ti tle must be surrendered in the same period of time. The law, however, does not apply to mining claims or to lands considered neceasary for the operation of mines or reduction works.

American Citizen Can't Own Land in Japan -California Prom ises to Use Care. Washington, I). C President Wil son expressed Saturday the hope that the pending legislation in California by which aliens ineligible to American citizenship would be prohibited from owning lund would not prove objec tionable to Japan. He realizes that Japan is inclined to view such legisla tion as a contradiction of the spirit of her treaty with the United States. While oflicially unable to interfere in the situation, he expressed confidence that the California legislature, cogniz ant of possible international difficul ties, would enact a law that would prove acceptable to Japan. The President talked informally about the question in hi semi-weekly conference with the newspaper men, indicating the delicate points involved. While the present treaty with Japan stipulates that citizens of each coun try, while traveling in the other, shall have a right to own houses and fac tories and shops, and to lease lund, it says nothing about the right to own land. On the other hand, though the old laws of Japan against foreign owner ship of land have been abrogated, the imperial edict necessary to put in force newly enacetd laws haa not been issued, so that American citizens can not own land in Japan, W h.le the administration doe not . cr ,Mue noteg to u member8 and to construe the treaty as g.vmg Japanese b nd geI, mmercia paper. The specifically the right to own land, itJoes bjI proposca 16 ub-treasury feel, that the agreement does guaran- , diatrictSi each gub.treasurer being em tee that Japan shall be treated on the j red to jgsue currency to banks on bas.a of most favored nation citizens rf boni8. under the same clause as is contained 1 ' . . in many American treatie. with other d Tammany. The President said that while these " points had been discussed, the diffi culties really nroreeded from the do- m0stic constitutional arrangements in the United States. He declared that while nobody for a moment, could challenge the constitutional right of California to pais such land laws as she pleased, insofar as the Federal government hail gone beyond its" pow er or domestic authority in making a treaty, just so far was it liable to damages, but it really wa helpless in the situation. Reassuring word that the California legislature would so frame ita laws as ; to save the Federal government from ; any diplomatic embarrassments has come indirectly to the national capital and the administration does not be lieve it is likely to be confronted with any serious situation. Blow to Christianity Seen. Tokio Baron Saburo Shimada and other prominent Japanese Christians say they are convinced that the pas aage of the land bill by the California legislature will prove almost a death blow to the Christian propaganda in Japan. Count Okuma, former foreign minister and now president of Waseda University, urges tho missionaries to voice a strong protest against the bill. Several newspaper here sarcastically declare the bill, which they say will discriminate Bgainst and ruin Japan, wa "framed by Christians." Reserve Open to Stock. Washington, D. C. The district forester at San Francisco has been authorized by Chief Forester Graves to allow California stockmen to use the national forest reserve for grazing purposes. Representative Kahn re ceived a telegram asking that stock' growers be permitted to use the na tional forests, a feed I sea re and tock I ufrerlng. Kahn took th matter up with Secretary of Agricul ture Houston, who ordered Grave to arrange with th San Frneio official i to take car or me aiiunon. CURRENCY REFORM OFFERED Many Bills Before Congress Lack ing Official Endorsement. Washington, D. C. New currency reform bill were introduced in the house Friday by Representatives Prouty, of Iowa; Nelson, of Wiscon sin, and Palmer, of Pennsylvania. Congress now has before it nearly a dozen bills, covering all branches of banking and currency reform, but none of these bear the indorsement of the official committee of the two houses or of President Wilson. Representative Glass, who probably will introduce the measure, about which money reform debate will cen ter in the house, conferred with Secre tary McAdoo, of the Treasury depart ment, who has been gathering infor mation from banks on certain phase of the financial situation. Mr. uiass saia at me ena oi me conference that there would be no difference of opinion between himself and the secretary of the treasury over ! the bill that he would finally introduce in the house. An effort will be made in the senate J to secure further hearings, particularly : on the subject of the money stringency ! at crop moving times and the "sec-1 tional demands" for money. Senator j Hitchcock, a member of the banking ! and currency committee of the senate, said he would ask for hearings at ' which more detailed facts could be se- i and local problems that should be con sidered while congress finally takes up the work of reforming currency meth od. Three general bills are now before the senate. The Weeks bill embraces the plan of the monetary commission for a national reserve association or central bank, through which all banks w-iulil secure their note currency. The Hitchcock bill proposes 20 distinct re serve associations, each with the pow- Washington, D. C President Wil son was formally requested by anti Tammany leaders of the New York State Democracy not to recognize Tammany in Federal appointments. They explained that their organization needed the moral support of the ad ministration in its fight for progies sive principle. They went away with the impression that the President would go slow in the matter of mak ing out his appiontment list, and that it would be some time before his atti tude would be known. Hawaii Wants to Secede. Honolulu The Star Bulletin says a petition is being prepared declaring that "Whereas Hawaii is commercial ly unable to exist under free sugar, it be allowed to withdraw from the un ion and resume its status of indepen dence if a free sugar provision be en acted by congress." The Star Bulle tin says the petition is being drafted by jn attorney engaged by leading business men and that the business men are giving it earnest support. It will be put into circulation as soon as the draft is completed. Bryan Spurs Governors. Washington, D. C Secretary Bry an dispatched identical letters Satur day to the governors of states which have acted favorably on the constitu tional amendment providing for the direct election of senators and have not yet reported the fact to the State department.

All the gossip came to us i first band. By breakfast wa learned j of the death. An hour later came the I rumor of the murder, and the fact I that an arrest bad been made. A man had been caught running from the spot where the body lay. My boat waa a bachelor and a broth er artist. His little place waa bound i by no convention. Go or come, but don't trouble to explain such wa the ! custom. He wa busy that morning, a I knew, so I appropriated bis blcy- cle and set off through the lane to ! visit the scene of the tragedy. ( Alrlie Hall lay some two hundred yards back from the main road. The drive, framed In wide stretches of turf,, and flanked by a triple avenue of chestnuts, ran In a straight line from the great porch to the entrance gate of twisted Iron. Peering through the bar were a dozen vil lager. Within, bla band upon the lock, itood a policeman, massive, red faced, pompous with bla present Im portance. "May I come In?" I asked politely. "You may not," be said quite briefly. I put my hand In my pocket, hesi tated, and drew it out empty. It was too public a place for corruption. If Addlngton Peace had only been with me, I thought and, so thinking, came by an Idea. Even a rural police man would know the famous detective's name. "My friend. Inspector Peace " I began. "Inapector who?" he Interrupted. "Addlngton Peace of the Criminal Investigation Department. I hoped he would be here." HI' manner changed with a celerity which wa the greatest compliment be could have paid to the little detec tive. "I beg your pardon, sir," he said. "The Inspector drove up from the sta tion not ten minute ago. If you will , inquire at the hall, you will be sure to : oD(j nlm." i Th. mni mhn nwra.i m mrt. eat ling led me through a dark pas sage of paneled oak and out upon the terrace that lay on the farther side of the house. Below It a sloping lawn ran down to a broad lake fringed with reeds. Beyond the lake a park stretched away dotted with single oaks now struggling into foliage, it was a lovely view, unmolested by the centuries. As It wa so it had been three hundred year before, when some courtier of Elizabeth, In tightly fitting j hose and Immaculate ruffles, chose It j as the outlook from the windows of ; his dining-room. In the middle of the terrace, Addlng ! ton Peace stood, smoking a cigarette ' nd .ta,kl.n? V a taJ1 f. tate'3r Per son In a black coat, who looked every Inch the man he was the butler of a British country house. The little Inspector turned, as he heard my footsteps on the gravel, and nodded a benevolent welcome. "A fine morning. Mr. Phillips." be said. "I did not know you were stay ing In the neighborhood." "I cycled over after hearing the news. Your name opened the gates, Inspector." "Well. I am pleased to see you, anyhow. Mr. Roberts here was giving me his view of this unfortunate affair. You may continue, Mr. Roberta." LATEST WHIM OF JANITOR Mrs. Audley Lesrns H. Is "Superin tendent" snd See Popl Only by Appointment. Mr. Audley, who had moved Into a new apartment, was driven to the verge of distraction by the persistent failure of the Janitor to perform cer tain aervlces which were essential to the comfort of herself and her family. One morning when her Indignation had reached the boiling point she telephoned to the basement "I want to speak to the Janitor," she announced emphatically. "Do you mean the superintendent?" Inquired the voice of a woman at the other end of the wire. "I mean the Janitor; but If calling him 'the superintendent' makes him do his work more promptly the superintendent." "The superintendent ain't In his apartment at the present moment." replied the voice, with unmistakable haughtiness. "Are you the Ja superintendent's wife?" telephoned Mrs. Audley. "I sm Mrs. Macbeth, the wife of the superintendent." sdmltted the voice. "Well, I sm Mrs. Audley. Tlesse send your husband to me as soon aa possible.

Wwa I ' . . r The butler bad been staring at m with great suspicion; but apparently be concluded that, as a friend of a detective, I was a respectable per son. "Well, gentleman." he said. In a soft, oily voice, as from confirmed over eating, "my mind la, so to speak, a blank, but what I know I will say without fear or favor. Sir Andrew had not previously honored us with hi presence, he having remained abroad from the death of Sir William, which waa bla uncle, some six months ago. Yesterday that la, Thursday morning he wired from London for a carriage to meet the 12:32 train. We were all In a flutter of excitement, as you cao well Imagine. But when he arrived It was, be said, with no Intention of staying the night. During the after noon he aaw his agent on business, and afterwards went for a walk, re turning about six. He dined at eight, and had bla coffee served In the small library. "The last train to London was at 10:25, and we had our orders for a carriage to- be ready for him at five minutes to the hour. At ten o'clock precisely 1 took Ue liberty of entering the small' library to Inform Sir An drew that the carriage was waiting, and that there was only Just time to catch the , train. He was not there, and, th window on to the terraoe isiU mm MAY NOT being open, I walked through to see If he was sitting outside, the evening be ing salubrious for the time of the year. It was while I was there that I heard the footsteps of some one run ning on the gravel, and, first thing I knew, who should appear but Jake Warner, the keeper. 'Hello, Mr. Warner," say. I, 'and where may you be going In such a hurry? I. It poach ers?' I says. 'No,' ssys he, In a sad taking, 'but Sir Andrew's been shot shot dead, Mr. Roberts, on the cauae way to the Island." 'Heaven defend us,' I says; 'but do ' " "Quite o, Mr. Roberts," said Peace. "We understand you were much upset. Bo you have no Idea when it was that Sir Andrew left the little library?" "No, sir, save that It was between nine and ten." "Thank you. And now, Mr. Phillips, I think we will go down and have a look at the causeway walk." At the end of terrace we found a policeman waiting. He touched his helmet to the Inspector, and, after a few words with him, led the way down some moss-grown steps and over a sloping lawn towards the lake. W skirted the right hand edge for per haps two hundred yards, until we came to where a short causeway of Mrs. Audley hotly. "So, please tell htm to come to my apartment without further delay." "The superintendent never sees no body except by special appointment.' came the voice from the basement "Oh," murmured Mrs. Audley, and. hanging up the receiver, sat down to laugh. Ostracism. The ostracism was a way the Greeks had of getting rid of "undesirable cit izens" of note. The people wrote the nsmes of those they most suspected upon small shells; these were put In an urn or a box and presented to the senate. Upon a scrutiny of them he whose name was oftenest found was sentenced by the senate to banish' trent. six mousana votee were re quired to make the oatractsm lawful. Sometimes the system worked to the detriment of the state, as now snd then a good man waa banished by the spite of his enemies, but generally the ostracism wss a good thing and saved the state much trouble and dan gcr.
