LAW NOW EFFECTIVE.
IBy Latest MALL

SAN FRANCTSCO.-The Webb anti
alien land law. passed by the legisla
ture and signed by Gov. Johnson more
than two months ago, became effect
i've August 10, without interference
from the electorate Of the state
through the medium of the referen
dunn. The time for the filing of refer
endum petitions against the laws pass
ed at the last session expired July 20
bringing an end to the threats against
the Webb act that have filled, the po
litical atmosphere since May.
At one time two separate move
ments to defeat the act were being
planned, one by the Democrats, head
ed by Theodore A. Bell, candidate for
governor on the Democratic Z ticket
and one by the Asiatic Exclusion
league, which is affiliated with the
state federation of labor The Bell
petitions were never prepared but the
exclusion league was on the point OF
beginning its campaign, when the ex-
ecutive committee rescinded its ear.
lier action and voted to take no steaps
to prevent the bill becoming law.
The monthly meeting of thei .exclu-
sion league was held July 20 and the
report of the executive committee on
the alien land legislation was made
public. 1t is stated in the report that
the reason the referendum petitions
were suppressed was that while the
league considers the act wholly inef-
fective, it is a "step in the right direc-
tion." Later, the report continues, the
league expects to bring about the en-
actment of a righteous law barring ia
panese, Chinese and Hindus from both
ownership and leasing of lands.
The report severely icriticises Presi-
dent Wilson and Secretary of State
Bryan for their attempt OF defeat the
passage of an effective aliend land act
in Sacramento last May.

court for writ Of habeas corpus.
Return on the writ was made this
morning, Judge Kingsbury and the
complaining bridegroom appearing
before the supreme court justices in
chambers. 1t was given out that the
hearing was not concluded, the court
issuing an order for the appearance
of the bride, Lucy Akiona All Sam.
who Is expected to be brought into
court tomorrow morning to tell her
version Of the affair.
In his petition to the supreme court,
filed August Z, All Sam, through his
attorney Eugene Murphy, asserts that
he and his bride were united in mar
riage May %, and that on May 20, on
verbal order issued by Circuit Judge
Kingsbury, the bride was spirited
away from their home and placed in
the MaluIani hospital, ostensibly un-
der the care OF the Sisters of Mercy
but In reality under the watchful eye
of Sister Helene, the sister superior
of the institution.
He declares that Sister Helene eyi
IDENTIFY was given orders to permit no
visitors to call on the girl whom she
virtually held prisoner, unless said
callers bore a written permit from

Wise be removed - q Panania-Paelfie
Exposition commissioner - SENA-
TOR JAMES LOCKE.
A new and serious turn was taken
today following the story published
in the Star Bulletin In which Senator
James L. Coke accused John Wise,
clerk of the senate during the last
session Of the Legislature, Of graft and
violation of a trust. This morning
Senator Coke declared that he would
fight to have Wise removed as a-Pana-
ma-Paciffc Exposition commissioner.
and that he believed In view of the
evidence he has presented bearing
upon his accusations of graft against
Wise that his efforts to have him re-
moved as q commissioner win be sue
cessful.
The appointment Of Wise having
been confirmed by the senate, ne says
it may se doubtful II the present gov.
ernoF can remove him; but that when
the senate conyenes, either IN regular
or special session, he viii renew his
fight against Wise.
The proposition of having the
grand jury investigate the alleged
graft of Wise was discussed this
morning by Governor Frear. and many
of the other officials Of the territory
ana Also by Sen6tur COKE. ....s
II will turn over to the grand jury

lieve it is proper that the JURY take
the matter up. 1t is time that an ex.

Not on Dictionary job.
1T IL possible that no criminal In
dictment viii lie against Wise In the
matter Of the typewriting. Though he
only put 100 words to page, where
there should be 300 words, charging
the territory seyenty-five cents page,
1t may be doubted If that In itself Is
absolutely criminal Highly dishon-
est and crooked it is, no doubt; but
1t may not be criminal. But there
Is another point-that of the proof
reader.
The territory authorized him to
employ a proof-reader, and specified
the salary for the proof-reader. Wise
did not give him the sum specified,
but much lesser sum. and he. Wise,
retained the balance, without any
right whatever. That cannot be call
ed by a less pleasant term than en-
bezzlement"
It became known this morning that
Wise's services had been dispensed
with on the Hawaiian dictionary. for
an indefinite time. Secretary Mott
Smith, one Of the dictionary commits
sioners, George r. Carter and Chief
Justice A. G. NJ Robertson being the
other two commissioners, stated this
morning that Wise had been relieved
OF his place. New plans for the com
pilation Of the book have been made
