SACRAMENTO. April 27. In defer
ence to the unknown wishes of Secre
:ary of State Bryan, who is due In
Sacramento tomorrow morning to con
fer with Governor Johnson and the
Legislature on the proposed anti-alien
land laws. It has been decided to make
no plans for the expected conferences
until after the distinguished guest has
ilgnlfled the definite purposes of his
risit.
"I cannot tell when our conferences
will be held with Secretary Bryan, or
what their nature will be, whether pub-
.ic or private." said the Governor. "In
:he matter of arrangements of that
tlnd we are agreed that Mr. Bryan's
Irishes will be scrupulously and cheer
fully observed, whatever they may be.'
Hwt Specnlatlom Rife.
There Is much speculation as to the
form of the official visit will take and
the manner which Secretary Bryan will
hoose to impart his message from
President Wilson. It Is generally agreed
:hat If the Secretary of State is pos-
lessed of Information of a private or
liplomatlc character be will disclose it
nly to the Governor or to an executive
neeeting of the two houses of the Leg-
slature sitting together. That such a
'olnt meeting would be called at his
request Is indicated by the statements
f Governor Johnson and the Progres-
ilve leaders.
There are many, however, who be
ieve that the Secretary comes only to
trotest openly, in the name of the Fed
iral Government, against a violation of
iny treaties of the United States.
Prompt Hearing Premised.
Mr. Bryan will arrive at o'clock and
cill be met at the train by Governor
lohnson. whose Invitation to be a guest
it the executive mansion he has ac
cepted. The present plans Include only
ireakfast with the Governor and his
'amlly. after which the Secretary prob
ibly will make known his wishes, and
n case they concern the Legislature,
tovernor Johnson will send messages
f official notification.
Secretary Bryan's expressed desire to
raate no time will be heeded, and If
tecessary he will be able to present his
lews before noon tomorrow.
"There is no occasion for the allght
st delay." said Senator Thompson to
tight. "Mr. Bryan undoubtedly under
tands our position thoroughly, and we
.re fully prepared to listen to him. AH
urther action In the matter depends
ntirely upon what he has to tell us."
View ami I'nehaaged.
It waa said by Administration leaders
hat the disposition to pass an alien
and law restricting aliens who are "ln
liglble to cltixenship" remains un
hanged. It will be necessary for Mr.
Iryan to change the present views of
he majority if the bill Is to be de
eated. Senator Thompson has completed his
Inal draft of the new "alien land act,"
rhlch la to be presented to Secretary
Iryan as the concrete expression of the
entlment of the majority. It Is brtet
mi makes no attempt to dodge the
olnt at iue the Ineligibility of the
apanese.
Attorneys In the Legislature who
sake a study of International law de
ls re the occasion Is fraught with deep
Ignlflcance and that Bryan's message
nay give rise to an entirely new In
ernretatlon of the ancient theory of
tates' rights.
Historic Precedent Expected.
It Is the position of the majority
taders that the visit can have one of
wo possible results. They contend that
t may end In the Government's con
edlng to the state full authority to
tiact law relating to Its own prop
erty with the promise that the Gov
rnment will support the state In wht.
rver action It takes, or that the Gov
roment will deny that right to the
j ate. with the promise that the evil
rhlch the state seeks to correct will
e remedied by action of the Federal
iovernment.
In either case It la felt that a prece
nt Is about to be established which
rill play an Important part in the fu
ure history of the Nation.
In the present situation it Is argued
hat the Federal Government has no
tower to deny the State of California
he right to exclude the Japanese from
nd ownership and then refuse to re
fere the condition In California
hrough Its own unquestioned powers.
Hich waa the opinion of those who(
.iscussed the matter with Governor
ohnson today.
Included in the Governor's confer
nee with Attorney-General Webb were
Jeutenant-Governor Wallace, a nun
er of Senators and Assemblymen.

NEW YORK. April 28. The suit of
Mrs. Ruth Lucille Trufant against Hen.
ry O. Williams, proprietor of the Ho

Court, is a leading topic of conversa
tion alonr the Great White Way. Mrs.
Trufant. as she la still known, though
ho la a divorcee and a former chorus
girl, astonished that rather calloused,
part of the world by admitting a good
many things that even In those cir
cles are commonly treated with reserve.
The fair plaintiff, for example, told
how. being a chorua girl In "Babes In
Toyland" at $35 a week and being
unable to live In a hotel of her liking
on the salary she received, accepted
from Williams, the proprietor of the
hostelry at which she was temporarily
paying $15 a week for the roof over her
head, an offer of his hospitality, though
she might have known from the fact
that his children were playing In the
corridors that he was a married man.
This was in 1904. Not only did she ac
cept his- offer as to free room rent.
but she received considerable sums of
money as well. One sum of $2500 she
admits having accepted from him at a
time when she was engaged to F. M
Andrews. an architect. Asked to ex
plain this, she testified that she sin
cerely loved both men. She had waited
a long time, she said, for Williams to
get his divorce and marry her; she
also promised Andrews that she would
wait until he got a divorce, when she
would become his wife. She found no
difficulty in loving both men, she said
in answer to the rather searching
cross-examination of the lawyer for
the defendant. Neither of the two has
married her.
At the time of her meeting with
Williams she was herself still the wife
of Trufant. She got het divorce first,
and she says that she then urged Wil
liams to keep his promise. Williams'
defense is that he has already paid
large sums to be rid of her and he
thinks he has paid enough.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, April 26. (Special.) The re
cent "assault" upon the Honorable
Thetus Willrette Sims, -of Tennessee,
by a Washington banker -which as
sault consisted In the banker slapping
the face of Mr. Sims In one of Wash
lngton's public parks, and in broad day
light coupled with the subsequent
stens taken by the Houre of Represen
tatives to punish the offender against
the Constitution of the United States,
Is interesting chiefly because It directs
attention to the fact that there are in
Congress not a few moral as well as
nhvsical cowards.
Mr. Sims, who has placed himself on
the list of cowards by his refusal to
resent the Insult from a man of his
own age and stature. Is one of those
who has been free to take refuge be
hind that clause of the Constitution
which holds that Senators and Repre
sentatives shall not be held account
able outside of Congress for anything
thev mav say on the floor of either
house. This clause was framed, un
questionably, with good Intent, but the
nrivilege of protection has been great
lv abused, and many a coward, at one
time or another, has availed himself
of that protection to say things In de
bate that he would not dare say out
side of Congress.
In this particular instance Repre
sentative Sims, In a number of speeches
last Winter, assailed the integrity of
Mr. Glover, the banker, and virtually
accused him of grafting In connection
with the sale of local real estate to the
Government, for nark purposes. Never
oncR did he Drove his charge: never
did he produce evidence to sustain his
charce. but he uttereoi accusations
which, uttered anywhere but in Con
gress, would have been libelous. If he
could not have substantiated them.
Whether the charges made by Mr. Sims
are true or false has not been proven.
Mr. Glover, however. Is one of the
most respected citizens of Washing
ton Citv.
Naturally he resented the attacks
made upon him by Representative Sims,
and at the time they were maoe ne oi
fered full explanation of the trans
actions assailed.and called upon Mr.
Sims to produce proof. Mr. Sims did
not produce his proof, and only reit
erated his charges but always on the
floor of the House. There was no way
Mr. Glover could get satisfaction un
less he took it in defiance of the Con
stitution, and that he proceeded to do
h-fixst time he met Mr. felms in a
public place.

this fact the sensational deal has been
