Effort to Secure Veto Failed-- Panama Exposition Officials
 Kicking.

Sacramento, May 20.--Gover- nor Johnson today signed the Webb alien land bill, which, if en- forced, will prevent the ownership in this state of land by the Ja- panese or Chinese.
 Every effort to have the gorer- nor veto the' bill has failed, the highest officials of the federal government have pleaded in vain for a veto in order that the mat ter might be settled by treaty be- tween the two countries. The ad- minisiraliun was. also anxious to have the matter postponed until after the completion of the Pan anna canal. that the Atlantic fleet might be available in the even of trouble between the Japanese and American governments.
 A demand for a referendum pc ilion has been filed and this will delay the operation of the law for l9 months.
 The Panama exposition nffI- rials have roundly denounced the stale legislature for it's folly, az itatlng the matter at the time when millions has been invested in the fair to be held in 1915.
