INVOKES INITIATIVE,
FOR ALIEN EQUALITY
General Bell Would Have People on Record
Once and for All as Favorable or
Harsh Toward Japanese.

vitation to the japanese to come here 10
settle upon our lands at least gives an
implied assent to their immigration into
California. Besides, If Japan insists. ii
gives her provocation. II not justification.
agreement against immigration that ac-
companied the treaty of 1911.
Governor johnson, not understanding
the elementary principles involved. on last
Thursday permitted a small group of land
owners who want to lease their land to
japanese to talk him into the leasing
clause OF the bill. thereby rendering the
association more harmful than good in its
general effects. The minority in both
houses agreed to strike out this leasing
clause. but the administration programme
was damned through by the majority.
when the majority saw that an inef-
fective bill was TO be forced uron them
they stood for the Curtin-Shearer resolu-
ton to refer the subject TO the national
administration for immediate action but
providing that If the desired results were
not secured through diplomatic channels
the Governor should convene the Legs
lature in extraordinary session TO handle
the question as the Legislature might see
At. This proposition was declined, with
the result that the administration at Sac
ramento has given the people law that
is satisfactory TO nobody
III We are 10 strike directly at the root
Of the evil there is only one course LETT
open. Through the aid of the Initiative
we should propose two laws for the pco-
pie TO vote on at the general election In
November. 1914. or at special election
which the Governor is authorized to call
one a general alien land law applicable
TO all aliens. the other a measure similar
to Senate bill >. without the leasing
clause.
In addition. Senate bill should 90 to
a referendum vote at the same election.
This will give the people three measures
to choose from, and then the electors OF
California can once and for all time enact
an alien land hill that will meet the de-
mands Of majority OF our people

San Francisco, Nav 6-Asserting that
the leasing clause in the alien land bill
now awaiting the signature Of Governor
Johnson. has made the act unsatisfactory
TO the Japanese as we'll as to Califor-
mans. General Theodore A. Bell, former
Democratic candidate for Governor. has
issued a statement urging the applica-
ton of a referendum. He also suggests
the use of the initiative to test public
sentiment on two substitute measu es,
one for the treatment of all aliens alike
and the other to rescind the leasing
clause in the present act.
THE johnson administration has made
a bad mess of the anti-alien land bill.

the rights that they have under the
treaty OF April 5. 1911. and then enlarges
these doubts by permitting them TO lease

Under the treaty the japanese may
own or lease and occupy houses and

ment authorities. So was the lining OF
his garments.
It was not until his last garment had
been removed that the inspectors came
upon the jewelry. A small chamois
skin bag hung, just beneath his arm
pit, from a cord placed about his neck.
The contents of the bag. when poured
on a table in the stateroom, proved to
be several unset diamonds, gold dia-
mond studded bracelet and several dia-
mond rings. Appraisers set a value OF
$4,000 upon the articles.
At the Hoboken police station, where
Baumgod was arraigned before Re-
corder McGovern, he declared that the
jewelry was his personal property and
had been taken from this country when
he sailed for abroad recently.

The recorder said he would give him
an opportunity 10 do so in the MORN
ing, and held him without bail for APP
pearance before United States Commits
sioner Stanton. Baumgold's ire was
aroused at the thought OF spending the
night in the Hoboken Jail, and he
pleaded TO be allowed TO go free on
bail. He was a member Of the firm Of
Baumgold Brothers. whose jewelry
mandatory was in Grand street, he
said, and could furnish any amount to
insure his freedom overnight The
court remained ol 'urate.
Baumgold said he had never been ar
rested previously on any charge what
soever. He was married, he added,
and had three children.
