DmnD rases uuu win. State Capitol, Sacramento, Cal May 1. The private influence of Secretary of State Bryan, exerted upon the Demo cratic members of the California state senate, proved today potent eaejlgfc again to delay final action upoa the Webb substitute for the Birdsall sati aliel land bill. The final word of the senate will be epoken when the roll ii called tomorrow. Hesitation on the part of the Pro gressive majority to use their "steam roller," the joints of which creased sadly with disuse, enabled the Demo crats to stave off another 24 hours Cali fornia's decision of policy. . It was not suggested on the floor, in the pleas for delay, that they were made at the re quest of Secretary Bryan, but it is well known that President Wilson's ambas sador has had private conferences with those senators who fought for delay, and the impression was general that their real object was to extend the time so that further pressure might be brought from Washington. The first example of this, pressure ar rived a little ahead of time, when Gov ernor Johnson received today from the president a message conveying a prac tieaY'threst that the Webb bill, if pass ed, would be taken before the United States supreme court. Governor John son's reply was courteous, but non-com mittal, and it was stated on the floor that the delay until tomorrow Is the last that will be granted, that the sen ate then will act on the Wobb bill, and that the California administration will be prepared to meet what results shall follow, ' BUI Will Paw. State Capitol, Sacramento, Cal., May 1. Consideration of a bill drastic in its provisions, which is designed to kill forever the possibility of increased Jap - anese encroachments on the farm lands of California, was begun by the state senate here at 11:35 o'clock today. Backed by the full force of the John son administration and with the Demo cratic friends of the national adminis tration bound by pledges which pre vented real opposition from them, there was no doubting from the first that the bill would pass. But Secretary of State Bryan, President Wilson's emissary of delay, was to be impressed, and oppon ents of the Johnson administration ask ed what few opportunities for delay that were left them. ' Is on Third Beading. The exclusion bill, which was on third, or final reading, was drafted by Senators Boynton, Thompson and Bird sail, Attotrney-General Webb and Gov ernor Johnson as a substitute for the original bill by Bird sail. To meet the objections of President Wilson and Sec retary It omits the words ' ' aliens ineli gible to citizenship" may not acquire land, bat states Inversely exactly the same proposition by saying "aliens eli gible to aitizenship " may acquire land, tc. Otherwise the Webb measure is prac tically identical with the original bill to which Washington objected, and the sum total of Secretary Bryan 's achieve ment it the change of expression on the proposition which in effect is unaltered. Interest Is Intense. Scenes such as hare rarely been wit nessed In the historic California eapitol t building, accompanied the consideration of the Webb amendment. Hundreds of , Californians demanding the passage Of a drastic law prohibiting the ownership of land by Japanese packed the senate chamber, the spacious lobbies and stair cases of the eapitol. Breathless inter est was manifested on all sides during the dobate which preceded the roll call The first move of the opposition came at once upon Senator Birdsall calling up the Webb sub-bill. Senator Curtin, Democrat, at once offered a joint reso lution pledging the California legisla ture not to pasa any anti-alien bill at this session, in deference to the wishes of President Wilson. It also asked President Wilson to use the resources of diplomacy to obtain the end Califor nia desires. Curtis 's resolution was sent to the (Continued on page I.I Mors Charges Preferred.

The alien land law bill submitted by Attorney-General Webb, of California, and adopted by the senate of that Btate as an amend ment to the Birdsall bill, is still dis criminatory between the United States and Japan, in the opinion of President Wilson and his advisers. It is under stood that as soon as the bill is passed, Viscount Chinda, the Japanese ambassa dor, will file a formal protest with the state department. It is expected that President Wilson will suggest that the quickest way to secure results is to bring action in the federal courts to test the constitution ality of the bill. All negotiations, so far, between Am bassador Chinda and government offi cials have been of the most friendly character. President Wilson believes Japan will fight her battles in the courts and not otherwise.
