Pittsburg, April 23.-The strike Of
school children against S. L. Heeter,
as superintendent of the city's public
school system spread rapidly yester-
day and resulted in one death. A lit
tie girl was run down by a street car
and killed during one of the demon
strations.
The strike gained great proportions.
In all parts of the city thousands of
school children paraded the streets,
tieing up traffic at number of busy
points. Police reserves were called
out to maintain order.
Late in the afternoon when the dem
onstrations of the children had ceased
the Pittsburg Board of Education held

CONFLICTING ADVICES
MAKE STEP NECESSARY
Object of Visit Would Be To Cooper
ate With Legislature In Framing
Law Satisfactory to People, Yet Not
In Conflict With Treaty.
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, April 23.-President
Wilson today telegraphed Governor
johnson of California, asking him
whether the anti-alien legislation
could be held up until Secretary of
State Bryan could go to California.
and personally explain the position Of
the Federal Government and urge an
adjustment of the controversy.
The Presidents telegram was In re-
sponse to Governor Johnsons mes
sage of yesterday. After thanking the
Governor for the telegram and saying
it was difficult to understand fully the
situation from distance, the message
adds: Il venture the inquiry, wheth-
er it be agreeable to you and the Leg
islature to have the Secretary OF
State visit Sacramento for the pur-
pose of counselling with you and mem
bers of the Legislature and co-operat-
ing with you and them in framing
law, which would meet the views OF
the people of the State and yet leave
untouched the international obliga-
tion of the State"
At the White House 1t was felt that
conflicting advices over the situation
made it practically necessary for q
representative of the administration
to explain the governments exact po-
sition.
An exchange of kilograms between
President Wilson and Governor Hiram
johnson, of California, expressing on
one hand an appeal that no anti-alien
legislation discriminatory against Ja-
pan be passed and on the other assur.
ance from California that no violation
of treaty obligation was Contemplated
left the White House official circle
last night uncertain as to future de-
velopments.
Governor Johnsons response to
President Wilson's telegram Of appeal
was taken at the White House to be-
of friendly and reassuring nature.
When it was pointed out to officials
that Notwithstanding no treaty obli-
cations would be violoted, Governor
johnson had used in his telegram the
language relating to aliens "inelgible
to citizenship" in forecasting the kind
of bill that would be passed there was
no disposition to regard the utterance
as forecasting the passage of the as
sembly bill, containing that phrase
ology against which Secretary Bryan
in his first telegram to Governor John
son had registered strong protests.
Later, however, news from Sacra-
mento indicating that the California
legislators were bent on passing bill
specifically excluding from ownership
of land all aliens ineligible to citizen
ship resulted in a general air Of un.
certainty with respect to develop
ments at Sacramento.
In the event bill is passed over the
protest from Washington, it has been
suggested to the Federal government,
that influential Democrats could bring
about referendum through which the
people Of California might vote on the
merits of the proposal. AS a last re
sort, however, test case in the courts
is confidently expected by legal advis
ers Of the government here to salts
factorily clear up finally the entire
question
The president will discuss the stu
alton fully today with the Democratic
representatives from California Il
Congress.

During the turmoil the authorities
took the part of the mine owners, the
militia helped the guards, the supreme

to show that the mine owners controll

This was the condition up to May
"a, when these thugs had the power of
officers of the law-they acted as

to get permits to carry guns from a

This is due to the activity og Gov.

self, is from the stock of the old noun
