WILSON
IS BACK ||.'. At
WHITE HOUSE IS
McCoombs and McAdoU Reaew
Friendly Relations
Have Been Estranged Since
the Campaign
A Pleasing Incident Of, Presi-
dents Trip

Washington, May 3.-President g. Will
son returned this morning to the
White House after two days speak
ing trip through New Jersey. He ex-
pressed himself pleased with his re-
ception in his home state and is con-
fident that the reforms ADVOCATED will
ultimately be accomplished.
One of the incidents Of the trip
which afforded the president much
satisfaction, became known today. This
was his meeting in New York with
National Chairman William F. Nc
Coombs and Secretary McAdoo of the
treasury department..
1t was the first time .McAdoo and
McCoombs have met since the early
days of the campaign. Differences of
opinion concerning the management of
the campaign are said to have existed
between the two, though their. rela-
tions with Wilson always showed
warm cordiality. Chairman McCoombs
is going abroad for a needed rest, but
rumor says that he will later be Of
fered the post of ambassador to France
which he declined.
President Wilson ascended the
Washington monument and held an
informal reception in the tower, at its
summit. He was out for stroll when
he took a notion to join the tourists
at the monument When he was rec
ognized, they insisted on shaking
hands "all around.

Sacramento, May 3.-The adminis-
tration anti -alien bill drawn by Attor-
ney General Webb passed the senate
early today, after hours Of debate. by
vote Of SO to 2. -. r. q" -. p, -
The bill provides that aliens eligible
to citizenship may acquire and hold
: land to the same extent as citizens,
while other aliens are limited to- the
special rights conferred upon them by
existing treaties between the United
States and the nations of which such
aliens are subjects. In the. case of the
Japanese, the bill prohibits ownership
of farming lands, while permitting
them to own residences, factories and
shops. A@" Il -@
Leases of agricultural lands by such
aliens are permitted for a period not
exceeding three years. Aliens inelig-
ible to citizenship can not inherit land.
A companion measure, Identical in
phraseology,- will probably pass the
assembly soon and be signed by Gov
ernor Johnson after "a reasonable
time has elapsed in which to hear
possible protests from President Will
son, who requested a respite.
Japs Not Satisfied.
Washington, d. c.. May Sit is
learned that the Webb bill in it's
present form is not satisfactory. to
the japanese government. Although
there is possibility of amendment in
the lower branch of the California
legislature or in conference, the con-
viction obtains that nothing remains
to be done, from the Japanese point
of view, at present, but to await the
return to Washington of Secretary
Bryan. G
If the question between the United
States and the Japanese cannot be
settled within the next three months,
it IS intimated that Japan might make
a formal request for submission Of the
issue to arbitration at the Hague
tribunal. The special arbitration
treaty between the two countries,
negotiated in 1900, which it is believ-
ed would cover the case, will expire
unless renewed, on August %. 1t
would be necessary for Japan to claim
the benefits Of the treaty before then.
Secretary Bryan will leave E1cra-
mento tonight and arrive in Washing
ton Thursday.

JOHNSON MAY GET
BILL BY NIGHT,

Sacramento, Cal, May 3.-Gov-
ernor Johnson is expected to have
in his hands tonight the alien land

Japanese and other aliens inelig-
ible to citizenship. -
He has agreed to delay signing
the bill until an opportunity, can
be given for hearing whatever
protests the president desires to

words, this delay will cover, "a
reasonable time, probably not
over ten days, and certainly not
over thirty. ;. 49,. r.. -
The assemblage picked up the
work of the senate and began final
consideration of the bill, which is
identical with the Webb redraft
of the anti-alien bills passed early
today by the senate. The effect of

cision in passing the bill is expect

the day was the annual report OF FRANK
D. Hail, the superintendent, and the
reading of it was listened to with the
closest attention. This is the eleventh
annual report that has been submit
ted by him and it shows that the work
is constantly growing in its scope. He
reported that the society had no oc-
casion during the year Of employing
an attorney, as the work had run along
smoothly. He states that Matron
Carey's work had increased right along
and he thought that an assistant would
be of great benefit and he advised that
she be given a vacation for rest. He
mentioned the fact that the increase of
living has been great, but that they
want all Of the children to have plen-
ty to eat and he is satisfied that every
child is we'll supplied and states that
the health has been very generally eX
cellent.
Railroads Generous.
In his report Mr.. Hall states that
the railroads have been generous and
they should be thanked. He also states
that the juvenile court officers in the
different counties have also assisted,
and seem to be willing to defray eX-
penses of any sent to the home for
care. Mr.. Hall goes into detail as to
the work of the society all over the
United States and shows improve
ments that have been made in the
work. He states that during the year
the greater number of the wards OF
the home have been fairly grown up
children, whereas formerly there were
many infants received. He makes the
observation that the boys are harder
to place in homes than girls. There
were on hand April 1. 1912, just twen-
| ty-eight, and April l, 1913. there were
thirty-fV In an extended report he
| shows the different causes that brought
the children to the home, from deser-
| ton to those who had been sent by
courts, He states that the grand COM
mandery of the knights Tempiar of
Minnesota has furnished a beautiful
American flag and that the North Da
kota grand commandery has under
taken to keep the home in flags. He
speaks of the Children's Home day in
| the state in the public schools and
| tells of all of the kind friends who

fourth American Peace congress.
VIM. Renwick Riddel, the justice of
the supreme court of Ontario, review

lations for the last 100 years and said
that questions that were more difficult

had been adjusted peacefully between
the. two countries.
Justice BENZ. Russell, of the supreme
court of Nova Scotia, said it was a

tween them that was not capabl Of
settlement by the sword.

COINCIDENCE in
in SISTERS DEATH

Henley, England. May 3.-Death by
the accidental discharge of her own
shot gun was the tragic fate this
morning of the Countess Of Gotten
ham, wife Of the Earl of ,Cottenham.
The countess twin sister, daughter
of the Marquis of Abergavenny, was
found dead in 1910 with gun shot
wound through her heart. Today's
affair was at first a mystery, and it
was not known whether the woman
killed herself or was murdered until
the earl testified that he found his
wife dead after apparently having fall
en- over a tree stump. The jury then
rendered a verdict of accidental death.

that fully $4,000 horse power can be
developed.
Recently the Washington Public

PROPOSES PRISON FARM
Warden Drum Would Work rnruicd
Prisoners on i,Ou0-tCrc Ranch.

A 1,000-acre prison farm, on which
paroled conyicts can be worked during
probationary period at a small rate
Of pay, and on which all food prod
ucts, both animal and vegetable, need
ed by the penitentiary can be raised,
is a plan to which the state board Of
control has given its Endorsement.
Warden Henry Drum, who has work
cd out the idea, believes that with such
farm the peniteutiary could at last
be placed on a paying or at least self
sustaining basis. At present the jute
mill does not nearly use all the avail
able labor and the idle convicts fairly
get in each others way on the present
200-acre farm.
The prisoners are for the mast part
however, easily adaptable to farm la
Dor and 200 to $50 are at present used
to advantage, practically under an hon
or system, with good results except
that there is not enough work for al
of them to do.
The large farm, Warden Drum be
lieves. would also help the men, botl
by hardening them for work and by
providing each with sum OF money
somewhat greater than the regulation
$5 handed prisoner on his final dis
charge.

With the persistent rumor that I. A.
Davies of Seattle and associates are
endeavoring to acquire the court house
and Jail property at Fourth and Wash
ington streets for consideration said
to be about $40, 600, more excitement is
being displayed in local business prop
erty and real estate than has been not
ed for some years. Coincident with
this activity comes the announcement
that DR.. p. II. Carlyon, chief promoter
of the Olympia Terminal railway, has
retired from the active practice of his
profession to devote his attention to
other interests.
This activity hinges upon the gen.
orally accepted rumor that new
transcontinental railroad, believed to
be the Oregon Washington Railroad &
Navigation company, working through
the Olympia Terminal railway, has
purchased a right of way into the city
from the new TeninoPoint Defiance
cut off down jefferson street to Fourth.
/ Only one piece of property needed as
right of way is said to prevent the def
mite announcement of the new rail
road and this is involved in such a
way as to require court action which,
it is expected, will be taken during the
first week in November.
The commissioners, it is reported,
expect to decide next Monday on the
disposal of the court house property
Plans for the re-modelling of this
building have been under way for some
time and will involve an expenditure
of some $4,000. Some time ago the
commissioners conceived the idea OF
disposing of the old building and erect
ing a new one in another part of The
business district, away from street
car line, and they feel that if they car
, get enough out of the old building ant
site to construct a new one, they will
: be making good deal for the county
Mr.. Davies proposition is said tC
involve the exchange of property a
Fifth and Franklin streets which h
, purchased last week and cash pay
, ment which will bring the considera
!, uon up to about 100000 The vacan
corner at Sixth and Franklin street
