FEDERAL EXAMPLE
New Bill Drafted for
Bryan to See
STATE OUTLINING DEFENSE
Only "Reasons of State" Can
Prevent Final Passage.
JOHNSON GIVES VIEWS
.IJne Declared to Hare Been Drawn
Not by California but by Vnltcd
S(ateK Governors Con
ference Suggested.
SACRAMENTO. April 24. Not the
dignity of Japan, but the dignity of
California. Is at stake In the con
troversy over the anti-alien land bill,
according to Governor Johnson, and If
the plans of the majority party here
give offense to the government at
Toklo. the California executive ab
solves the state from blame on the
ground that Federal statutes long
since pending drew the line which the
state now seeks to apply.
In a statement Issued today. Gov
ernor Johnson defined the posttion of
the legislative majority, trusting that
Secretary of State Bryan, who Is en
route from "Washington to Sacramento
to present the views of the Adminis
tration, might learn thereby the atti
tude of California towards a law
barring from land ownership in the
state aliens who are barred from citi
zenship in the Nation.
Callrorala Deal Fault.
That this restriction applies to the
subjects of Japan or any other nation
Is not the fault of California, accord
ing to the views of the Governor.
Such a law Is being drafted tonight
by Senator Thompson, and will be com
plete and In print before the arrival of
Secretary - Bryan next Monday after
noon. It will be known as the "alien
land act." and will apply solely to
members of foreign races that are de
scribed In Federal laws and judicial
decisions as Ineligible to cltlsenshlp in
the United States.
California has outlined a defense of
her position, and when Secretary
Bryan arrives he will be confronted
with the new draft of the bill, and
the question whether or not It Is dis
criminatory. Federal Example Followed.
Governor Johnson's view on tills
point is set forth in his statement as
follows:
"The Nation has solemnly decreed
that certain races, among whom are
the Japanese, are not eligible to cltl
xenshlp. The line has been drawn, not
by California, but by the United States.
Discrimination, if it ever occurred,
came and went when the Nation de
clared who were and who were not
eligible to citizenship. If California
follows the line marked out by the
Federal Government, the United States,
and not California, should be accused
of discrimination."
If the Justice of this view Is con
ceded by Secretary Bryan In the con
ference he will hold with the. Gov
ernor and members of the Legislature,
there Is little doubt that the Thomp
son bill will pass, unless the Secretary
bears state reasons of great urgency
and can convince the leaders here that
such action by the California Legisla
ture would precipitate a grave crisis
beyond what la now understood of the
situation.
Joaasos laanea Statement.
Governor Johnson, in a statement of
his position issued today, disclaims in
tent to forecast the action of the Leg
islature, and adds:
-T am merely derendlng the right of
California to consider, and. if its Leg
islators deem it advisable, to enact a
law which is within both Us legal
power and Its moral right. Much has
been said of the dignity of Japan. W
...... m nnt willingly affront tne aignuy
of Japan nor offend its pride. But
what shall be said or tne proposiuuo
iht . mat state. Itself an empire.
hall be halted from the mere consld-
r . t rt ! a 1 1 vm act. admittedly
within Its Jurisdiction, by the protest
of a foreign power which has ltselt
nartd even mora stringent reguia
tloas on the same subject? What of
the dignity of California?"
The statement says that the sugges
tion of the President that the Secre
tary of State visit California for con
ference on the pending land bills was
r-ntd at once by both houses of the
Legislature and by the Governor, and
"we will be glad to welcome jar. -.Bryan
on his arrival."
The Governor says:
"I am sure there is no disposition to
encroach on the. International functions
of the Federal Government or unjustly
wiiund the sensibilities of any na
tion. My protest has been against the
discrimination to which camornia nas
been subjected In the .assumption that
action which has been accepted with
out protest when taken by other states
and by the Nation, Is offensive even
If discussed by California."

Plans of Europe,
LONDON. April 24. In diplomatic
oua.rtra In London tonight the belief
prevails that Montenegro would yield
to the powers on the Scutari question,
and it was reported that Montenegro
had made an informal suggestion re
garding a new frontier line in this dis
trict, zlvlnsr her territorial and other
advantages, including possession of the
town of Berdica and both banks of the
Boyana River.
The new frontier, which it is said
Montenegro has proposed as compen
sation for the loss of Scutari, would
run northwest of Vraka through Kop-
lik to Kaldrum on Lake Scutari.
This sliD of territory, although ex
ceedingly mountainous, is important
to Montenegro because it affords a
natural road to Ipek, avoiding a great
detour. From Berdica the line would
run to the coast north of San Giovanni
di Medua. .
Austria Ready for Invasion.
t n th latent newa. Aus
tria" has not stipulated any time limit
for the evacuation of Scutari. It is
rnnorted that Austria has an expedition
of 60,000 men completely organized to
coerce Montenegro, if necessary.
Rerloua Dro-Montenegro demonstra
tions occurred among Austrian Slav
subjects on the fall of Scutari at
Prague, Wagram and other cities. They
were suppressed by the police and all
similar demonstrations have been for
bidden.
Austria has practically given notice
that if the powers do not come to an
agreement with Montenegro, she herself
will take drastic action.

Acrnrriinir to current rumor, Tam

Although the Republican Senators
objected to the confirmation of most
of the postmasters whose names were

Sorority Girls Make Better Averages
First Semester Than Do Greek
Letter Brothers at University.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON", Eugene,
April 24. (Special.) Women at the
University of Oregon outclass the men
in scholarship, and non-fraternity stu
dents excel fraternity students, ac
cording to the averages of the first
semester issued from the registrar's
office today.
As a basis of averaging, the mark
H, or honor, was valued at four; S, or
superior, at three; M, or medium, at
two; P, or poor, at one; F, or failure,
at 0, and a condition at .9. On this
basis the average for all the women
was computed as 2.29, and for all the.
men at 2.02. The non-sorority wo
men averaged 2.45 against 2.24 for wo
men in sororities, while the non-fraternity
men averaged 2.03 against 1.78
for men living in fraternities and clubs.
Mary Spiller Hall, the women's dor
mitory, led all other organizations,
with an average" of 2.61. The other
women's organizations followed almost
In a solid phalanx, with mere roan
bringing up the rear.
Beta Theta Pi secured the best av
erage of any men's organization, rank
ing tenth on the entire list, with 2.11.
Two fraternities. Beta Theta Pi and
Phi Delta Theta, ranked above the
non-fraternity men and the latter were
slightly In advance of the men staying
at the university dormitory.
Kappa Alpha Theta led the five Na
tional soroitles, with an average of
2.26. Twenty one divisions were listed
in all, the averages ranging from 2.61
to 1.23.
The superior showing of the women
and of the non-fraternity students is
generally attributed to the greater in
terest taken in general activities, both
on and oft the campus, by the men
and particularly by those living In fra

CHILD WASHED INTO DRAIN
Baby Carried 409 Feet in Under
ground Pipe, Yet Lives.
JOHNSTOWN, Pa., April 24. (Spe
cial.) After falling Into a small creek
and being washed through a drain pipe
18 Inches in diameter for a distance of
409 feet, little Edna Newman, aged 2
years, of Windber, was rescued and is
still alive tonight. The child was
playing this morning with some other
children near the small creek, slipped.
and losing her balance, fell into the
water near to where the creek water
entered the drain pip ' which passes
under the roadway and several houses.
The child was rapidly drawn by the
suction of the water Into the pipe.
Several men who were near by
rushed to the other end of the pipe

out. In a short time the unconscious
child was thrown out of the pipe by
the rushing waters. After an hour's
work she was resuscitated.
WOMEN ACCEPT NEW DUTY
2'3 Per Cent of Election Officials to
Bo of Fair Sex, Says Barbur.
More than 25 per cent of the clerks
and Judges at the coming special city
election and the primary nominating
election. May 3, will be women. This is
the estimate of City Auditor Barbur,
who is closing up contracts for the elec
tion boards in the 173 precincts.
Eighty per cent of the election boardg
have been completely filled. This is a
greater percentage than ever before re
corded so far before the election day.
The majority of women so far select
ed have been assigned to the day
boards. Many, however, have taken
positions as night judges and clerks.
It. Is considered likely that In one or
two of the precincts the entire night
and day boards will be women.
PIPE LINE LEAKS SERIOUS
Enumclaw Country 'Being Flooded'
Is Report to Tacoma Council.
TACOMA, Wash., April 24. (Spe

the City Council today that leaks in
the city's new $3,000,000 Green River
pipeline, in the neighborhood of
Enumclaw, are "flooding the country."
Lawson said there are bad leaks
above and below Enumclaw and at
Buckley. He said water was pouring
from the pipe in torrents. A small
stream would burst through a crack
and. spllttrhg the opening wider,
would pour out a torrent within a
short while, he said.
Contractor George P. Wright, with a
force of between 30 and 40 men was
busy today attempting to fix the
breaks. About 1000 feet of pipe near
Enumclaw has been taken up.

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash

Senator Lane tonight emphatically
denied that he had said he would bolt

Senator Lane is not kicking because
raw wool has been placed on the free

the bill should be amended to place
manufactures of wool also on the free

EXPLAINS
HIS "DRY" DINNER
Custom Is Considered

WINES WILL NOT BE SERVED
Ambassadors Enjoy Pleasant
Evening, Nevertheless.
ISSUE MET IN BEGINNING
Secretary Issues Formal Statement
in Which He Says Company Ap
plauded Reasons for Serv
ing Only Grape Juice.
WASHINGTON, April 24. Comment
on the substitution of unfermented
grape Juice for the wine usually served
on such occasions, at the dinner given
by Secretary and Mrs. Bryan Monday
night In honor of Ambassador Bryce,
caused the Secretary to Issue a state
ment today explaining the Incident.
In it, for the first time. Mr. Bryan
made public an answer to the question
how it was contrary to the customs of
the Bryan household to serve wines.
The statement follows:
"We did not intend to magnify by
mentioning it, the importance of -tlie
non-use of wine at the dinner given to
Ambassador Bryco Monday night, but
as the papers have made some inaccu
rate references to the matter the facts
might as well be known.
Explanation Made to Gnesta.
"This was the first dinner which we
have given to members of the diplo
matic corps, and, therefore, the first
time when we came into conflict with
the social custom of serving wine at
dinner. The seven other ambassadors
then in the city and their ladles were
Invited to meet Ambassador and Mrs.
Bryce. and as all the gentlemen guests
were from foreign countries. I thought
It proper to explain to them the rea
son for our failure to conform to what
seems to have been customary In this
matter.
"Believing that the issue should be
met frankly in the beginning, I told
them when wo sat down to the table
that Mrs. Bryan and I had been tee
totalers from our youth, as were our
parents before us, and had never
served liquor at our table, that when
the President was kind enough to ten
der me the Portfolio of State, I asked
him whether our failure to serve wine
would be any embarrassment to the
Administration, and that he genially
left tho matter to our discretion.
Remarks Are Applauded.
"I suggested that I thought it unfair
to assume that those coming to us
from abroad would judge us harshly
or ba unwilling to tolerate the main
tenance of a traditional custom and
expressed the hope that our friendship
would be made so apparent to them
and our hospitality so cordial that they
would overlook this weakness in us. if
they regarded it as a weakness. My
remarks were applauded by the com
pany and wo never spent a more en
joyable evening.
"That Is all there Is to the matter,
and we can consider the incident closed
and the custom established, so far as
we are concerned."
