Sacramento Cal, April 30.-There
are many indications that Secretary
of State w. j. Bryan will fail In the
mission on which he was sent here
by President Wilson.
Leaders of the California senate
and assembly declared that, so far
there had been no developments which
would cause them to change their
earlier opinions regarding the neces-
sity of passing an anti-alien land own.
ing bill.
While Bryan may succeed In amend.
ing the wording of the pending bill,
its intent to exclude the Japanese will
probably remain unchanged.
Senator Newton Thompson, Pro.
gressive leader and author of dras-
tic bill proposed as substitute for
the pending measure, said.
Nothing Secretary Bryan has said
changed the situation in my view or
in the view of other members of the
legislature with whom | have talked.
I believe the exclusion bill will be
passed"

At an executive session of the leg

II is learned that Bryan did not ad

London, April 30.-A special CORE.
spondent telegraphing from Vienna
puts the Austrian attitude in regard
to Montenegro in precise form as fol-
lows:
"Austria-Hungary, finding that the
ambassadorial conference in London
produced no results, has decided to
take matters into her own hands and
carry out the decision of the powers
regarding Scutari."
Neither the British foreign office
officials nor the foreign diplomats
here have any confirmation of the re-
ports that Austria-Hungary has decid-
ed to take independent action to force
Montenegro to evacuate the Albanian
city of Scutari, and they discredit
them. Such a course would be so
absolutely opposed to the attitude
adopted by Count Won Mensdorff-
Pouilly- ly-Dietrichstein, the Austro-Hun-
garian ambassador at the London con-
srerence or Ambassadors, tnat II is con.
sidered impossible.
Both Italy and Germany, 1t IL
known, are strongly averse to any at
tempt being made to coerce Montene-
gro unless such action is undertaken
by all the powers jointly.

KERN STRIKE RESOLUTION
STILL IS BEFORE SENATE
May Be Sidetracked Later for
Consideration of the
Tariff Bill.

Senator Kern's resolution for an in
Virginia coal strike zone was the un
finished business before the Senate
when 1t met today. Senator Golf. op-
posing the resolution. was ready to fin
ish his argument against its adoption.
Senator Kern. however, made an
agreement with Chairman Simmons of
the finance committee to let the tariff
bill have the right of way if his investi-
cation was not disposed of in an hour.
Postmaster Gives Aid.
Among the many communications
from the strike zone which Mr.. Kern
has received indorsing his proposed
investigation was one today from
West Virginia postmaster. whose name
the senator withheld The postmaster
charged that true conditions in the coal
fields were being withheld from the
public. and that a former United States
official was among those responsible.
In support of his resolution Senator
Kern yesterday afternoon laid before the
Senate affidavits and letters charging
that outrages had been committed
against the miners and their families by
the mine owners guards and the state
authorities When the Senate adjourned
Senator Golf of West Virginia was in the
middle of a speech opposing the Kern
resolution. on the ground that the gov
ernor of the state had acted well within
his rights in dealing with the strike
situation and that West Virginia should
be permitted to settle its own difficulty.

Kern Has Supporters.

While Senator Kern took the lead in
supporting the resolution, Senator Hol-
lis of New Hampshire concurred in the
demand for investigation. and also Sem
ator Borah of Idaho. who introduced a
resolution for similar investigation at
the last session of Congress. Senator
Chiffon of West Virginia argued against
an investigation by the Senate of acts
done in a sovereign state. and maintained
that the courts were amply able TO re-
view them.
Senator Bacon of Georgia repeatedly
asked Senator Kern what would be the
next step to be taken by the United
States Senate. provided the investigating
committee found conditions in West Vir-
GINA to be such as described by Senator
Kern.
To this Senator Kern replied that he
could not say what steps should be taken
by the Senate. but that the turning of
light on the situation would arouse public
opinion against such acts.
