Washington. April 2s.--A "Warship"
in support of the proposed California
anti alien land law was delivered in
the house today by Representative
Sisson Of Mississippi.
eff we must have war or submit to
this indignity. I am for war;" cried
Mr.. Sisson. II am with the people OF
California in their efforts to prevent
these aliens from acquiring and"
'T believe" said Mr. Sisson, that
no non resident aliens should be al
lowed to hold a single foot of land In
the territory OF the United States.
What would Washington say in answer
to the question, war or submission? !?
What would Jackson say? What
would Clevel1nd say? What would
Mckinley sas.?
1T resent the efforts Of Japan TO
force US to submit to her demands
Mr.. Sisson took the position that the
japanese government in protesting
against alien land legislation was en-
deavoring to exempt its citizens from
the operation of the laws OF states.
THE president and secretary OF
State said Mr.. Sisaqns snculds only
assure All Elisn g0veffs Ii i6,l tha f5se.
people OF that alien nation would be
dealt with fairly In accordance with
the la7y Of the state. Any other po-
sition would lead to the federal gov
ernment taking out from under the
Laws of the states the citizens OF an
other nation. But all citizens or aliens
resident in q state must be held sub
ject to it's laws, and to exempt the
alien would give him privileges over
and above those accorded to American
citizens
Representative Mann, the republican
leader. suggested the United States
had the constitutional right to treat
with foreign governments to secure for
American citizens property rights
abroad and that Mr.. Sisson was con-
tending that the foreign government
did not have similar right.
CALIFORNIA Is RIGHT.
Mr. Sfsson contended that the peo-
pie of California had the right to pass
laws regarding alien holding OF land
as In their jt1d gment seemed best when
such laws did not infringe upon the
federal constitution.
Sisson discussed at .engtr points Of
international law involved in the dis
pute and declared that California was
endeavorfng to do only what Japan
had already done.
IF Japan now threatens us with
war. what would she do when millions
OF her citizens have acquired land In
our country 80 he said IT lay down
the propositfon that an alien popu.a-
tion holding land within our borders
would be a fixed and constant menace
I'VE must preserve to the American
farmer the right to own the soil of
our country without competition which
would drag down his standard of Fv-
ing. j would not surrender II unless

Delay immediate action and appoint

jcct of alien ownership. to act In con-

Enact a law similar to the statute
In Illinois. which permits aliens to

Enactment OF a similar law to- the
federal statute governing ownership In

general applying to all aliens.
or these alternatives. according to
the leaders of the legislature, the last
two are out of the question. Many
democrats are in favor of turning the
matter over to the state department,
while progressive republicans in the
majority are apparently unchanged in
their determination to enact the orig
inal bill.
At Bryan's request. the legislators
at the beginning of the conference, ex-
planned the situation to him and en-
phasized the fact that the people OF
California are urgently demanding the
enactment of a law checking japan
ese and Chinese immigration. Bryan
made It clear in submitting the sug-
gestions that he acted only as the
spokesman OF the president.

MISSING BORDEN GIRL
 MAY BE ON OCEAN

New York. April 25.-The New York police department officially be-
 gan, today, a systematic search for Pomona Borden, the IT year old
 daughter of Gail Borden, millionaire milk dealer. She was reported, yes terday to have returned to the New Jersey sanitariune whence she disap- peared Wednesday afternoon. It ap-
 pears that the statement Of her re- turn was one of expediency on the
 part of the sanitarium authorities and it is understood that neither Borden, the family physician nor MT. Borden's lawyers have the slightest idea where
 she is.
 The girl answering Miss Borden $
 description in many ways sailed for
 Europe, yesterday, on the Cincinnati. After conferring with the police
 MT. Borden went to his hotel to get a few hours rest before continuing the search. Apparently his efforts here during the early morning were fruitless.
 He said he believed his daughter was either in this city or nearby and
 declared that, if necessary, he would
 hunt for her all over the world.
 someone will pay dearly. for this, ' said the father. 'I know that my
 daughter is not back at the sanitari-
 um and I am pretty positive that she has not gone abroad"
 MT. Borden added that the initials ''M. A. B." on suit case in the auto mobile that took Romona from the IIampden Sanitarium revealed the
 identity of one of the women who had aided his daughters flight. Inquiry at this woman's home in Brooklyn today showed that she went to At
 lantic City on Wednesday.
 Word from Atlantic City said that a girl answering Miss Borden's de-
 scription left a. hotel there, yesterday
 afternoon, with three women and took
 a train for New York.

TAXI GIRLS ON
 JOY RIDE AT PARK

A collection of speciality artists is the Taxi-Girls hera1ded Nas "A Merry Party of Joy Riders Speeding Through the Lanes of LaughIand'' showing at row.
 This production produced under the personal direction of Joe Hurtig should make a real showing, but it's lack of logical plot is distinctly supplied by individuals in the cast which are themselves the show and realize true musical comedy and vaudeville spirit
 The scenes are laid in Mexico and with a pretty and sprightly chorus in which mfngle real dancers who have proven themselves both in circus and stage productions lead the less initiat- ed form true background for the work of prima-donnas, soubrettes and come dians.
 Fun and floci is not lacking and the coloring of the costumes is all that the eye can desire. An olio following the first act in which the Morin sisters the audience is a mainstay of the pro duction And furthermore there are some real singers who put over Teas ing Moon," Goblin Man, ''Swanee Shore" and other song hits in style.
 Ward and Bohlman rendering hu- nor and songs besides leading in the character parts were greatly enjoyed. The FarrelI-Tay1or Trio, in blacfface, brass and minstrelsy are too well known to need comment other than to say they are improving rather than re- maining dormant And there is Tom Carter, Marty Semon, Blanche Daven- port, Ida Bayton and last but far from least Primrose Semon, sou brette of marked ability whose songs did much to enliven the occasion. AItogether while lacking in contin- uity of plot the Taxi-Girls make a showing which cannot be ignored by the regular devotees of burlesQue and should attract all lovers of comedy, song and dance.
