WILSON CALLS HALT
PRESIDENT ASKS CALIFORNIA TO
OBEY TREATIES.
Secretary of State Bryan Shows
How One Measure Would lnjure
People Of Orient.

Washington, April 2.-Secretary
Bryan on Saturday telegraphed to Gov
ernor Johnson OF California request
ing him to withhold his signature
from any anti-alien land legislation
passed by the California legislature
which might be in violation of treaties
between the United States and Japan.
'sThe president desires me to say
Mr.. Bryan's message read, that.
while he fully recognizes the right OF
the people of California to legislate
according to their judgment on the
subject of land tenure, he feels 1T his
duty to urge a recognition OF the In
ternational character of such legisla-
ton.
Being anxious to preserve and
strengthen the long-standing friendly
relations existing between this coun-
try and the nations of the Orient, he
very respectfully. but most earnestly,
advises against the use of the words
ineligible to citizenship. He asks
that you bring this view to the atten-
ton OF the legislature.
He D6l1eYGS the senate Dill. as telO-
graphed to the department of state, is
greatly to be preferred. That bill
limited ownership to citizens and to
those who had declared their inten-
ton to become citizens.
The kilograms and other informa-
ton from official circles indicate
clearly that the provisions in the as
sembly bill by which aliens ineligible
to citizenship would be prohibited
from owning land were regarded as a
distinct discrimination agains* Jap
anese, who are denied the right Of
naturalization. The language of the
senate bill restricting ownership OF
land to citizens of the United States or
aliens who have declared their in
tention of be coming citizens" is ap-
proved by the president, as he has
discovered that this is the phraseol-
ogy Of statutes in force in New York,
Delaware, Kansas. Minnesota, Ken
lucky, Washington. Missouri and the
District of Columbia.
All these laws make it impossible
for Japanese to own land until they
are able to declare their intention of
becoming citizens, privilege which
the lower courts have not given them
on the ground that they were not
"of white or African descent"

RAW WOOL is VOTED FREE
Representatives From sheep Raising
State Wage Desperate Battle
of Opposition.

Washington, April 1S.-Free raw
wool was voted Wednesday by the
Democratic caucus. This places the
tariff bill dictated by President Will
son and Secretary Bryan out Of dan
ger of material change by the house
Democrats. Underwood organized the
fight against duty on wool and won
1870 to AZ.
Free wool means loss of about
$1S,000,00O year in revenue.
Representatives from the wool
growing states waged a desperate
fight for more than three hours to
have duty of fifteen per cent. ad
valorem substituted for free wool.
Agreement was reached when the
contest started that vote should
be taken at six o'clock and that five
minutes should be allowed each
speaker. The debate was acrimoni-
Gus and but for the cooler heads
among the older members might have
resulted in bolt from the caucus by
some of the more anti-free wool men.

insane and committed to the county
asylum. He is the last one of a fam
lily, consisting of mother and seven
children, that have been afflicted with
insanity. The father, who died sew

For many years the mother and chill

one room and garnet, from which
one by one they were committed to
the asylum and died. At present only
the mother and one son are living,

POPE STILL IMPROVES
DOCTORS, HOWEVER, CONSIDER
HIS CONDITION PRECARIOUS.
Confidence of Vatican for Ultimate
Recovery Of PontIff Not Restored
by Remarkable Rally.

Rome, April 19.-Pope Plus had
passed three days without fever, his
general condition is progressing favor
ably, and if these conditions continue
two days more he will be considered
convalescent.
While this news cheered Rome, it
has not tended to restore the conf
dence of the Vatican as to the ultt-
mate recovery of the pontiff.
The physicians still consider the
pope to be in a precarious condition.
1t is pointed out that even should the
bronchial symptoms abate still fur
Their. or entirely disappear, fresh COM
plications of a cardiac or uraemic ma
ture are feared. owing to the greatly
Their. The present rally which the
pontiff has made is not true indica-
ton of his remaining strength, for he
has been fortified constantly with in
jections of camphor oil and numerous
drugs to keep UP his strength.
A huge throng OF Romans congrc-
gated in st. Peters square Friday
to watch for the ascension of the star
over the cupola above the papai
apartments, which was predicted by
Madame Tjebes, French clairvoyant,
would occur and signify the recovery
of the pope. The star did not appear,
and the ever-superstitious Italians
drew the augury from that that the
pope's illness will have fatal end
ing

MUCH WORK STILL
BEFORE ASSEMBLY
APPROPRIATION Bull MAY DE-
LAY CLOSE OF SESSION
BEYOND JUNE /.
MANY MEASURES REMAINING
Marketing, Water Power and lnsur-
ance Bills Will Also Demand Much
Time of Lawmakers-"No Work, No
Pay" Plan Advocates to Promote
Attendance.

Madison-On the assumption that
the session is to close within the next
month, it will be necessary to dispose
of some of the more important meas
ures, during the next few weeks.
Speaker Hull is steadfast in his be-
lief that adjournment should be reach
ed before June l. The senate lead
ers, however, are not as sure OF this.
Senator Scott, chairman of the fl
nance committee, acknowledges that
many of the largest appropriation bills
are still to be acted upon. If the Nc
Govern marketing commission prop
osition is to receive more than casual
attention, with any idea of passing the
law, this subject will demand consid-
cradle time.
The big insurance bills, frequently
debated before the committee, are
still to come up for consideration in
open debate Little or no real prog
ress has been made in the so-called
blue sky" legislation. Then last, but
not least, is the water power bills,
a subject over which there is always
Favors Per. Diem Plan.
State Treasurer Henry Johnson,
himself a former assemblyman, is an
advocate of the mo work no pay" pol
icy as applied to the state legislature.
He believes that were Legislators paid
per diem instead of fiat sum
$500 at present the closing days of a
session would be marked by full
attendance. 'The movement for short
sessions, say 100 days, might perhaps
eliminate some of the criticism that
has arisen in the state on account of
the long sessions held in recent years"
he said "An amendment should be
added to the constitution allowing
pay to the members only when attend
ing the sessions. This would prob
ably inspire a better attendance dur
ing the latter part of the sessions
when, as a general rule, appropria-
tions and many other important bills
are passed, or rejected sometimes be-
cause there is not better attend
ance
