CALIFORNIA ALIEN
BILL MADE LAW BY
GOVERNOR JOHNSON
Signs Measure Against Pro-
tests of Japan and Repre-

and Personal Envoy

Sacramento. May 19-California's la y
alien land bill became the law of the
state today, against protests of japan
and representations of President Will
son and his personal envoy, Secretary
of state Bryan, Governor Johnson
signed the hill and 30 days after the
adjournment of the legislature, or on
August 10, the act becomes operative
While the governor was signing the
bill the steamship Korea was passing
in through the Golden Gate bearing two
distinguished Japanese one a former
pupil of President Wilson, on a mis-
sion of Investigation.
Meanwhile complications national and
sectional, beset the bill. Overshadowing
all is the outcome of the negotiations
now in progress between this country
and Japan, which has interpreted the act
as discriminatory and offensive.
Triple Hostility
Within California Itself the act has en-
countered triple hostility, which may de-
lay its operation until November l, 1914
Democrats opposed state legislation at
this time as matter of party regularity
Nevertheless, so plain to them seems to
be the demand for the bill that after
exhausting all parliamentary tactics, the
senate gave only one adverse democratic
vote and the assembly only two.
As an expression of this opposition
Theodore Bell. late democratic candidate
for governor, and former chairman OF
the democratic state central COMMITTEES
has issued an invitation to his party to
submit the issue to the people by in
voking the referendum against the bill
He grounds his opposition on two con-
tentons, one that the bill is Insufficient
ly drastic because it permits leases run

it embarrasses the national administra-
ton.

RANsEoRp D. BUCHANAN.

Admiral Ransford D. Buchanan, fam
iliarly known as Bucknam Pasha, vice
admiral of the Turkish navy and chief
naval adviser to the former Sultan
Abdul Hamid, was born in Transport,
Nova Scotia, Jan. 2, 1869. Both his
parents were lost at sea and his own
life reads like sea novel. His earliest
youth was spent with his grandpar-
ents in Manitoba, but while still boy
he took up a life on the great lakes.
Longing for more extensive travels,
he went to Boston and shipped on an
Australian packet. After a shipwreck
and numerous other adventures he re-
turned several years later to the Unit
ed States and became master of a
steamship on the great lakes But he
again tired of this berth and proceeded
to San Francisco, where he accepted
a position as captain of a Pacific liner.
When he left the Pacific it was to en-
ter the employ of the Cramps at Phil
adelphia. Here he was assigned to de-
liver a war ship built for the Turkish
government In Turkey he won the ia
vor of the Sultan and became the lat
ter's chief naval adviser. He remained
virtually the head of the Turkish ma.
Wy until the overthrow Of Abdul Ha-
mid
