HACItAMKNTO. Cal. April 21.
It Is certain today that final "action
will not bo taken In the senate on
thu autl-allen land bill until tho lat
ter part of tho week. According lo
senate floor leaders, It Is equally cer
tain that (tending submcasures would
be further modified and th.it new
amendments would be offered when
the bill was on the files.
Opposition both to the hill and the
two amendments protecting Euro
pean capital and exempting lands
used for oil, mineral, lumber and
shipping purposes, Is expected.
Determined efforts are being con
tinued by powerful Interests In the
state to secure the passage of an
Amendment that will allow Euro
pean corporations to hold land. If
such action Is taken it will be done,
If possible, in such a way as to avoid
the words "Ineligible to citizenship,"
which President Wilson haa request
ed be not used.
The general unfamlllarlty of tho
members of tho California senate
with tho details by which nntl-allen
legislation may bo expected to be
worked out along the policy defined
In tho pending bills was today given
aa reason for anticipating further de
lay In securing final action.'
Whllo tho majority of the senators
remain unshaken In their determina
tion to enact an nntl-allen land law
