LEAVE LAWMAKlNG
TO SEE PRIZE FIGHT

SACRAMENTO. April LIT looks
as though members of the Iegisla-
ture have awakened at last to the
dangers of the alien land bills, which
seemed to have so large a majority
in their favor only a few days ago.
To-day Governor Johnson sent mes
sage to the legislature, enclosing
Secretary Bryan's dispatch, which
urges that the phrase Ineligible to
citizenship" should not be included In
any measure that liz adopted. The
message was read In both houses, but
all action was deferred until next
week.
The members. who n few days ago,
were very launty In their defiance Of
any protest from Washington or
Toxic, now seem to be impressed with
the force Of the Japanese protests,
and with the anxiety of the authori-
ties at Washington. Despite the fact
that the president has declared his
unwillngness to interfere with the
action Of any State. legislators here
are coming to see that he will have
no hesitation in calling a halt on
legislation which involves this coun-
try In difficulties with Japan, or Will
injure our trade relations
Many Of the members of the legis-
lature LETT on a special train this
morning for San Francisco TO attend
the Murphy Wolgast prize fight. and
# was mainly because Of their alb
sence that all action in the alien land
bills were postponed.
