LAW MAY BE DEFEATED
Alien Land Law May Fall to Vans
California Legislation, In
Latent IleiHrt.
Sacramento, Cal., April 19. Ulti
mate defeat of the proposed alien
land legislation in California may be
the result of a diplomatic communi
cation received today by Governor
Johnson from the state department
at Washington. Bryan's pieference
for a particular bill cut straight
across the ranks of the anti-alien
forces, leaving two opposing factions
that are not only equal in strength
but also non-partisan. Whether
either will be able to muster 21 votes
in the senate where the fight Is now
centered is admitted on both sides
to be doubtful.
On one hand there are proponents
of the Thompson-Byrdsall bill which
proposes the limit of ownership in
land to citizens and those who have
declared their intention of becoming
citizens. It treats all aliens and cor
porations alike, declaring iu the case
of the latter that the majority stock
must be held by citizens or those
who have declared their intention ac
cording to law.
This is the plan favored by the
national administration. Opposed to
this measure are those who would
discriminate in favor of Europeans
and European capital or who advo
cate the making of a law to apply
directly and solely to Japanese. The
bill passed Wednesday makes this
discrimination through the words
"ineligible to citizenship."

A '49er.
The late James R. Keene, himself
almost a '49er, used to tell many a
story about the characters of '49.
"It was difficult in those days,"
he once said, "to, be a temperance
man, for to refuse a drink with a
'49er was a worse offense than to
kiss the fellow's wife.
"A '49er, twirling his long and
drooping mustache, said to a tender
foot in a barroom:
" 'Have some red-eye with me.'
" 'Thank you no,' said the ten
derfoot, a total abstainer,, firmly.'
"There was a tense silence in the
crowded bar. A pin could have been
heard to drop. Then the ' '49er
reached back to his hip pocket and
said with a weary sigh:
"'Helgho, can't I even take a
drink without klllln' a man?' "
