AWAITING JOHNSON'S
 REPLY ON ALIEN BILL
Bryan Appeals to California Executive to Veto Measure.

The fact that Secretary Bryan sent an appeal to Governor Johnson of Cali fornia to veto the antl-alien land law. inasmuch ns the, governor had repeat edly declared. nnofficially at least. his purpose to sign the bill as it passed the legislature. is taken in official circles at Washington as indicating either that some powerful influences have been brought to bear upon the governor in the Interest of delay or more probably that the Wilson administration is mak- ing its record complete.
 In this action there may be double purpose-6rst. to satisfy Japan that the federal government has done all it can to prevent the legislation under It's constitutional limitations, of which many diplomats contend Japan should have been aware when 1t entered into treaty relations. and second. to place upon the state authorities of California the responsibility for any serious out come of the anti-alien land Legislation.
 Should Governor Johnson decide to sign the bill notwithstanding federal opposition legal proceedings are almost certain to follow the first attempt of the California authorities to escheat the property of the Japanese Iandhold- CTS. Probably an issue could be made up immediately by some such land holder undertaking to transfer hIs land to another Japanese in California.
 Governor Johnson on receiving the communication from Secretary of Stnte Bryan declined to make any com ment. but said he would formulate his reply as soon as possible.

RESUME TARIFF
 FIGHT IN SENATE
PenrOS0 Moves That Commit
 t0e Hold Public Hearings.
DEMOCRATS FOREWARNED.
Some Republicans Will Not Support Penrose Amendment-ouesti May Come to Vote-Leadsrs Now Plan Recess For Three Weeks In House. Resume Sessions June 1.

The tariff struggle was resumed in the senate on the motion of Senator Penrose to refer the Underwood bill to the finance committee with instructions for public hearings.
 Senator Simmons. chairman of the finance committee. was busy urging all Democratic members to be on hand in case the question should come to a vote, and he felt confident that the Re publicans' first move against the ma jorlty would be checked.
 Some Republicans who have declar- ed that they would not support the Penrose amendment argue that hear ings on a tariff for revenue bill would avail nothing and that, were the bill written from a protective standpoint they would favor hearings.
 Senator Penrose and other Repub- lican senators planned to talk on the amendment at length when the senate convened. and 1t looked as if 1t might be some days before a vote was reached
 Following a conference between President Wilson and Representatives Underwood and Palmer, it was an- nounced by Leader Underwood that with the tariff out of the way the house will recess for three weeks.
 The house will resume sessions about June 1 and will immediately take up currency reform. Underwood stated that during the recess the house com mittees would be made up and that as soon as they were announced the house committee on currency would get legislation to reform the national monetary system under way.
 Mir. Underwood said he thought the recess advisable so that the other com mittees of the house could be com pleted.
