London. April s0.-up to late hour,

THE WEBB ACT.
CONTINUED from Page one.)

Gov. johnson stated, today. that from
what he understood of the situation
the measure did not have the approval
OF President Wilson,
1T is altogether probable that We
would have reached this form OF bill
in any case" said Senator Thompson,
land it cannot fairly be said that the
draft prepared by Attorney General
Webb reflects any of the sentiments
of Mr.. Bryan except his desire that
we do not offend any one and that Of
course has been our guiding prineiple
from the beginning. At no time have
we had wish to offend the people CT
any nation and our desire to avoid the
words Ineligible to citizenship has
been quite as strong as that of the
federal administration.
.'Those words are not used In the
Webb bill, but do not hesitate to say
that the effect and result Is precisely the
same as if they were included and it will
be so understood. There was no way
to avoid it."
According to Senator Thompson, who
has made study of the bill. the theory
Is as follows:
Only citizens and those eligible to be-
come citizens may be proprietors of land.
They may employ japanese and Chinese
but they cannot leass or otherwise give
such aliens an interest or share in their
proprietorship. Such land as is now held
by Japanese and Chinese cannot be be-
queathed to their alien heirs Ii must be
sold.
"The practical result of the BILL" said
Senator Thompson, will be that all fur.
Their acquisitions will be prevented, leas.
ing colonies will be exterminated and a,
the end of the present generation, mos
of the land now held by Japanese anC
Chinese will be owned by citizens.

TAFT FAMILY POSSESSIONS re BE TAKEN FROM THE WHITE
 HOUSE THAT DAY.
LAW LIBRARY WILL GO LAST
Books of the President Always Inter est Visitors-Colonel Rooseveit's Were Very Numerous-History Strong in Wilson's Collection.
By GEORGE CLINTON.

Washington.-On the afternoon of March an ordinary May-day moving van will appear under the portico of the White House where ordinarily no vehicle Is seen excepting the limousine or the carriage drawn by blooded horses. President Taft and his fam fly are packing up their things, and so are President-elect Wilson and his family, the ones to go and the others to come. President Taft's White House belongings will be sent away March and the family will follow on the next morning.
 There will be several moving days in Washington early next month. The cabinet officers and their families, or most of them at any rate, will pack up and clear out, some of them to return to the hearth stones in other places which have been cold for some years. Other cabinet officers and their fami- lies will take only temporary leave of absence, for the lure of Washington is strong upon them, and particularly strong upon the women folk of their families. So back to the capital they will come next winter to dine out five nights of the week and to dance out the other two. Death has nothing on Washington when it comes to the mat ter of grip.
 When MT. Taft moves out he will take with him, or rather will send be- fore him, all kinds of things, the usual paraphernalia of an American house keeping family of course, but added to it will be all sorts of queer things from the Philippines. The president has a choice collection of Filipino "duds" and they have become, in way, closer to his affection than the furniture of Grand Rapids manufac- ture and the ornaments made any where from East Cape to Mendocino.
 Libraries of Presidents.
 It ought to be grateful to Americans to know that when visitors are admit ted on occasion to the remoter parts of the White House their usual in quiry is about the library. The aver age American pilgrim wants to know d will send to New Haven, as the last of the executive office consignments, his library of law books He will need them when engaged in his new duties and he himself has said it. for re- gently he declared his intention of kt ping at least a few lessons ahead # his law student classes.
 The law library of the White House is in the office annex. MT. Taft has his reading books" in the study of the main structure. There are all sorts and conditions of books here, written by all sorts and conditions of men and women.
 When Mr Roosevelt moved out of the White House four years ago, he took with him about twice as many books as Mir. Taft possesses, but then MT. Roosevelt had @ habit of buying everything which touched on man. mals, birds, bugs. flowers, trees, fish

 When Theodore Roosevelt entered the White House he had the arrange ment of the basement changed and he brought down upon himself storm. For some reason or other the people seemed to think that any change in the building must of necessity be an act of vandalism. When it was an nounced that Woodrow Wilson intend ed to change the arrangement of the garret of the White House there was a repetition of the storm. All that is to be done to the garret is to clean it and fix it so that in case of an over flow of guests 1t can be used for sleep ing quarters.
