SACRAMENTO. May X. Secretary of
6tate Bryan concluded his mission to
the Governor and Legislature of Cali
fornia this afternoon with a message
of farewell, and began his return to
Washington, where, he said, he thought
at this Juncture he could be more use
ful.
To an open joint session of the two
booses, attended by the Governor and
presided over by the Lieutenant-Governor,
he gave renewed assurances of
the friendly interest and co-operative
attitude of the National Administration
toward the peculiar problems of Cali
fornia, transmitting the President's
latest criticism of the alien land act
passed last night by the State Senate,
and rehearsing again those objections
already made public
Pbraae Still Diacrimlaatorr.
Secretary Bryan in his address voiced
the President's opinion that the words
"ellarlble to citizenship," substituted in
the California Attorney-General's re
draft of the alien land measure for the
words "Ineligible to citizenship." are
equally as discriminatory and, there
fore, eauallv objectionable to Japan.
If a law must pass, he urged that it
be limited to its operation to two years.

the President, he said, was made "for

its work of following tha Senate's

Kelsreadnsi la Possible.
Apparently the only contingency that
can arise to prevent the carrying out
of Its provisions within approximately
SO days Is the threatened referendum
petition, which would require 20.000
signatures before the law could be tem
porarily nullified pending an election.
The matter could not be submitted
to the people until the Fall of 1914
a delay of 19 months. In case the pro
posed referendum petition gains enough
signers.
Early In the session representatives
of the board of directors of the Panama-Pacific
Exposition who came here
to oppose the bills, intimated t : the
board might foster a movement to in
voke the referendum against any. anti-
alien law that might be enacted. The
same attitude has been indicated by
several commercial and trade bodies in
the larger cities, who fear Japan will
levy repVlsals on California by abro
gating the present business relation

ARBITRATIOX MAY BE ASKED
Washington Expects Japan to Ap
peal to The Hague.
WASHINGTON. May 8. It was
learned here today that the Webb bill
In Us present form Is not satisfactory
to the Japanese Government. Although
there Is possibility of amendment In
the lower branch of the "Legislature
or In conference, tha conviction ob
tains that nothing remains to be done
from the Japanese point ot view at
present but to await tbs return to
Washington of Secretary Bryan. Then
It will be in order to take the subject
up diplomatically, probably the first
step being to ascertain whether the
Administration can be counted on to
begin a legal test of tha constitution
ality of the new act.
If the Question between tne unuea
States and Japan should not be settled
within tha next three montns, it was
Intimated here today that Japan might
aka a formal request for the submis
sion of the issue to arbitration at The
Hague tribunal.
The special arbitration treaty be
tween the two countries negotiated in
1900, which is believed to cover the
case, will expire by limitation unless
renewed on August 24. It will be
necessary for Japan to claim the bene
fits of the treaty before that date.

noon in an automobile by Mayor Knotts
and Chief of Police Newman, of Gary.
Murphy was a popular member of the
Gary local of the Switchmen's Union
and when members of the union learned
that it was purposed to take his slayer
from Gary to the county seat at Crown
Point, they held a meeting at which it
was determined to lynch her, or at least
give her a coat of tar and feathers.
The mob made no secret of its pur

To outwit the mob, the Mayor and
Chief of Police ot Gary determined to

road at a safe distance from the street

arming themselves with rifles and pis

containing sightseers, set out. The
change of route deceived the mob, how
ever, and the procession of curious ones
returned to Gary, considerably disappointed.

FEDERAL RIGHT USURPED

by Roosevelt and Says Nip

ST. LOUIS. May 8. California citizens
who oppose the anti-alien land owner
ship bill passed by the California Sen
ate will bold its operation in suspense
by an appeal to the referendum, and
meanwhile the validity of the law will
be tested in the Federal Supreme Court,
according to Dr. David Starr Jordan,
president of Leland Stanford Univer
sity. This opinion was expressed by Dr.
Jordan in an address before the City
Club here today. Dr. Jordan is a dele
gate to the Peace Cpngress now in ses
sion here.
The case that in the opinion of Dr.
Jordan will be tested in the Supreme
Court will result in a decision as to
whether a line can be drawn between
the property-owning rights of Persians,
Armenians. Turks and kindred nation
alities eligible to citizenship, and the
Japanese and Chinese, who are not
eligible under the Federal laws. Dr.
Jordan said personally he considered
the bill unconstitutional.
National Unit Declared Necessary.
"I am opposed to a state's usurping
Federal power," he said "If the United
States maintains its standing among
other nations, it must act as a unit. If
it allows California to do something
to usurp its power and then tries to
fix the blame where It belongs, the
question soon would be asked, 'who is

A sharp order was received from
Washington to stop the bill and the
agitation ceased temporarily."
Dr. Jordan said the provisions of the
bill came so close to those of Federal
laws as to amount almost to a usurpa
tion of the Federal "right to control
aliens."
