Will Remain In California Until Land
Legislation Is Concluded.
Fresh hope that Mr.. Bryan will be
able to bring about an amelioration of
the proposed anti-Japanese legislation
in California was inspired in official
circles in Washington on receipt OF d
telegram saying that he was going
to stick it out at Sacramento until the
legislature had rendered it's final de-
cision on the matter at issue.
1t is hoped that Mr.. Bryan has
found some reason to believe he can
win success in his efforts to keep the
Californians from passing bill which
will involve the federal government;
in difficulties with the government O.:
Japan.
The presidents telegram of warning
to Governor Johnson that the WEBB
bill is likely to involve the federal
government in delicate litigation HIS
made it clear that Mr. viii on expect
to see the issue threS:ei out in the
courts unless the Californians give u
their determination to legislate ag -insi
the Japanese.
The opinion III Washington is thai
unless California's legislature desists
the United States must face a trying
and prolonged period of discussion OF
the whole Issue before the federal
courts.

Tilted MAN SHOOTS
GIRLS PARENTS
He Commits Suicide After At
tempting Murder.

Sydney Horsley, of Philadelphia,
committed suicide in Wayne, near
Philadelphia, after he had shot and
wounded the mother and father of a
girl with whom he was in love.
Horsley had been courting Miss FL
sic Patton, of Wayne, daughter of
William A. Patton, more than six
months. Recently her father and moth
er advised him to discontinue his Wis.
it's, saying their daughter was too
young. Horeley- persisted in his suit.
Mr.. and Mrs. Patton and their daugh-
ter came to Philadelphia. Horsley went
to Wayne to see the girl. In a pocket
was a pistol. He inquired of neigh
Dor living next door to the Patton
family and found the Pattons were in
Philadelphia. He went to the railroad
station, where he waited for them.
AS Mr.. and Mrs. Patton stepped
down Horsley accostei them. He ask
ed Mrs. Patton whether he could not
continue to visit her daughter. Mrs.
Patton told him he could not, and the
husband told him to go before he call
ed a policeman to have him arrested.
Horsley pulled his pistol from his
coat pocket.
II might as we'll finish the trick
now," he said, and fired at Patton.
One bullet went through the mans
coat and the other scared the skin OF
his neck Mrs. Patton screamed and
put her hands over her eyes.
Horsley fired at Mrs. Patton. One
bullet went through her right arm
and penetrated her breast. Another en-
tered her shoulder.
Many persons ran to the station.
Cries of "kill him" were heard. Hors-
ley menaced the crowd and backed off
in the direction of an underground
driveway beneath the railroad tracks.
The crowd followed at a safe distance.
Then Horsley pressed the pistol
against his head and sent bullet
into his brain He died instantly.
Mrs. Patton is in serious condition.
The husbands wound is only slight.

REFUSE To PAY
TRAINMEN MORE
Railroads Refuse to Grant
Mems Demands.
WANT TO RAISE ALL RATES
Managers of Eastern Lines Declare
Demands of Conductors and Others
Would Cost $17,ooo,ooo Year.

simultaneously the railroads of the
east refused to grant the demands OF
Their conductors and trainmen for an
increase in pay and announced that
they would ask the interstate com
merce commission to permit an in
crease of 5 per cent on all freight
rates.
The refusal to grant higher wages
to the conductors and trainmen, the
demands of the enginemen and fremen
having been settled by arbitration,
was made public by the conference
committee of the managers of the
eastern roads in New York.
The committee says the present
rates of wages are liberal, and in
many cases excessive and that the re
quest for an increase is declined in
the interests of owners of railroad Sc
curities, in the interests of all rail
road employes--in the interests of the
public as whole"
"The wages and working conditions
which you request" says the reply
would increase the pay of the 10000
conductors and trainmen Of the rail
roads in the eastern district by ap
proximately $17,000,000, or 20 per cent
per annum.
"The increase would be equivalen
to placing on these properties a liel
Of $425,000,000 of 4 per cent securi
ties which would have preference
over first mortgage bonds.
"If the railroads are forced to pay
extravagant wages to men in trail
service, the burden must fall on the
public. You will readily see, there
fore, why, in considering your de
mands, we hold the public Interest
paramount.
Already the traffic of growing
country has overtaxed the existing ia
cilities; and the heavy burdens in
Cured through ill-advised legislation,
such an extra crew bills-for which
the Brotherhood of Rrailroad Train
men is alone responsible-have forced
on the railroads, and consequently on
the public, needless expenditures Of
millions of dollars annually. All OF
these factors are making it impossible
for many of the roads to provide those
facilities which prudent foresight de.
mands, and which the interests of the
public require.
In making demands for extrava
CANT wages-wages entirely out of &C
cord with the railroads obligations as
whole-railway employees apparently
act on the assumption that a strik'
that would tie up traffic would never
be permitted by the public. They seem
to think that if strike is to be avoid
ed the railroads must give way-tha
the public will force them to give
way, believing that arbitration mus
take place, and that in the end tn
splitting of differences between whai
they demand and the wages they rn
ceive will result in their favor.
''In other words, the employees hav'
everything to gain and nothing t.
lose."

In State, Declares Laborers Are Not
Coming to America.

In state, declares LapoTeTS Arc Noa
Coming to America.
An amendment to the Webb anti
alien land bill, permitting aliens incl
igible to citizenship to lease agrlcul-
tural property for a period not exceed
ing three years. was adopted by the
California senate in Sacramento by
non-partisan vote.
The bill was sent to the state print
er, with emergency orders to rush the
reprint of the measure aimed at the
japanese.
Under ordinary circumstances the
amended bill would not be ready for
final action before next week, but the
majority leaders had arranged things
in advance, so that the new measure
could be put to a final vote at once
and final answer be given to Secre-
tary of State Bryan's effort to prevent
legislation at this time.
The amendment was decided upon
at a conference in which Governor
Johnson, Attorney General Webb and
Senator A. E. Boynton, floor leader IN
the upper house, participated. The
original bill prohibited both ownership
and leasing, but on the receipt of Wig
orous protests from large land inter-
ests that would be seriously affected
if leases were eliminated, it was
thought best to make this specific en-
emption in the bill before bringing it
up for final passage.
The amendment made the bill lden-
tical with the measure introduced in
the assembly by Assemblyman Blood
good.
A telegram of protest against the
passage of an alien land law, signed
by George Shima, the Potato King"
of California, and president of the Jap
anese Association of America, was
read in the senate. Shima is the
wealthiest Japanese in the state. His
message follows:
Japan has ceased to send laborers
to America. The Japanese who are
here have tried to keep both the word
and the spirit of laws and treaties.
They have settled in this land Of lib
erty and equality with trust and conf
dence in the American people.
