Mo Objections.

To this memorandum I have but little
to add The United States government
has no objection to the enactment OF a
law IN California as regards TO the rights
of aliens to hold real estate. providing
the suggestions of the secretary of state
are complied with rs contained in the
above memorandum. Such law would
not be IN any substantial respect different
from similar laws that have been passed
in other states. Many foreign countries
including Japan itself, have similar laws.
But for the reasons set forth In Mr.
Roots memorandum, the federal govern
ment would most emphaticeDy object to
the passage of the proposed school legis-
lation and would also object TO legisla-
tieu such as the newspapers describe as
having been proposed to force the Japan
csc to live in separate residential quar-
ters
Il most earnestly trust that Tor the rca-

Mrs. Haldane Is Surprised

THE Haldane family usually partook of luncheon
together Breakfast irregular meal,
and dinner usually brought many engagements
which widely separated them: few days after
the automobile ride. while the excitement over
the proposed granting to the Gotham Freight
Traction Company of the New York Street Car
Company franchise was still at its height Mr. and
Mrs. Hadane and their daughter, after waiting
sometime for the arrival of Livingstone, sat down
to luncheon without him.
The conversation turned. as it usually did, on the
campaign Haldane looked worried Well he might
be! The action of Gor1nly, his adroitness in wrest

fact that the city now thoroughly aroused,

SOUL he believed, and capable of any sacrifice for
the right.
Gormly had meant to carry on his campaign to
the end and then tell her that he loved her and ask
her to be his wife He swiftly that with all the
complications before him this would be entirely
fruitless proceeding Indeed, if within more favor
able circumstances he could have her affections,
it is probable that now such an endeavor would be
unavaing He had been wondering since the
knowledge had come to him how he could get speech
with her without too great publicity. and, behold!
fortune had given him the chance At whatever
hazards he intended to avail himself of it.

that l had something to say to you. l don't sup

ptious, but necessity compels me to say it now.
Il shall be very glad indeed to listen to anything
