wITHHoLDS SIGNATURE.
Governor Johnson of California to Allow
Time for Protest.

Sacramento, Calf, May 5.-The Cal
ifornia anti-alien landholding act, which
passed both houses OF the legislature
within "a hours after bringing about one
of the most unusual situations in the
history of the nation. will lie on Govern
or Johnson's desk without his signature
until Secretary of State Bryan can con-
fer with President Wilson in Washing.
ton.
This will mean delay OF nearly a
week. as Secretary Bryan left here Sat
urday evening and will not reach the
national capital until Wednesday night
or Thursday morning.
Governor johnson will wait, as he
saws, "a reasonable time" for whatever
protests the government may make,
after which he viii sign the bill. He
is required by law to veto all acts passed
up to him by the legislature within 10
days of final passage providing the en-
acting body remains in session for that
length Of time. Otherwise, he has 80
days.
1t appeared that the legislature would
not adjourn until May Is or later, which
would require the governor to act on
or before Tuesday, May ID.
There is much speculation here as to
the next probable step to be taken by
the government against the measure. 1T
is generally thought, however, that
President Wilson will state his objec-
tions once more to Governor johnson
and then seek through diplomacy to
answer the possible protests from Toxic.
Opinion as to the effectiveness of the
act in accomplishing its purpose, the
of the japanese farmer, is
divided. Until the final amendment was
adopted permitting aliens ineligible to
to lease agricultural lands
for three years, the measure was the
most drastic of any that had been pro-
posed Now, however, it is asserted by
many that it will accomplish little, in
asmuch as it does not stipulate that the
leases may not be renewed again and
again.
Governor johnson and the Progressives
regard the measure as a necessary first
step in accomplishing what they believe
to be the desire of the people of the
state.
This act establishes the policy OF the
state towards alien landholders," was
their answer to those who asked for a
more rigid law Two years, or four
years, hence il will be an easy matter
to strike out the leasing clause if the
public demands it. But just now it would
word hardship upon scores OF citizen
landowners

uate the Fortress OF
Scutari
RESPONSE TO DEMAND
OF EUROPEAN POWERS
Ambassadors Will Decide
Details in London
To-day

London May 5.-Sir Edward Grey
British foreign minister, announced al
to-day's meeting OF the ambassadors
that Montenegro had unconditionaliy
placed the question OF the future
of Scutari in the hands of the European
powers. This decision, reached by King
Nicholas at the very last moment, had
SAe effect of Immediately relieving the
great tension of European politics and
caused unbounded satisfaction to diplo-
mats and the public generally.
1t is hoped that this action of Monte
negro will do away with all necessity
for military incursions into Albania, such
as Austria and Italy We're contemplat-
ing against Essaad Pasha. former Turk
ish commander of Scutari, and other in
dependent leaders. The example OF
Montenegro is expected to have salu-
tary effect in causing other disturbing
elements in the Balkan peninsula to bow
to the will Of Europe.
The king Of Montenegro, when he took
possession Of Scutari, on April %, aft
er six months siege, which cost the
lives of thousands of Montenegrns and
Turks, declared he would hold the city
until the last drop of Montenegrin blood
had been split. As the powers had pre-
viously decided that Scutari was to be
a part OF the future state of Albania,
a crisis was brought about and the pow
ers Immediately brought strong pressure
to bear to force the evacuation.
Cettinje, May 5.--King Nicholas to-
t!ay decided to evacuate the fortress of
Seutari, in response to the demand of the
European powers. :,

Smother Flames.

LYNN, Mass, May 5.-Alone in her
home at 27 jackson street last night,
Miss Maria A. Boynton, aged sixty.
seven, was burned to death in spite OF
the brave efforts she made to smother
the flames. which resulted from the ig-
milton of her clothing by kerosene
lamp With, blanket wrapped about
her body. Miss Boynton was found dead
on the floor by q neighbor and beside
her was the broken lamp.
Smoke pouring from second story
window in the Boynton home attract
cd the attention of J. Dunlap Smith OF
|33 Jackson street. Finding both doors
of the house securely locked, he raised
a ladder and carrying an extinguisher,
entered the room from which smoke was
pouring.
On the floor he saw what he believed
was bundle of burning clothes and
upon the fire he directed the contents
of the exting,iisher
The smoke forced him to window to
secure air and when he returned to the
center of the room he discovered that
what he had supposed was bundle OF
clothing was the charred body of Miss
Boynton The fire did no damage to the
house.
Miss Boynton was lifelong resident
of East Lynn and up to few months
ago had lived alone in the homestead
on Jackson street. Since early winter
a niece, Mrs Alice Boynton, had been
residing with her.
Yesterday Mrs. Boynton was visiting
friends. and it is presumed that Miss
Boynton, while lighting the lamp either
dropped it or accidentally broke the
chimney and caused the flames to come
in contact with her clothing.
