Jap Envoy Secures Copy Of Cali.

NOTE TO SECRETARY BRYAN

Mikado's Embassy at Washington Will
Make Known the Reason for Its Oh.
lection in a Communication to the
State Observation-Disclosures May Go
, to the Federal Courts.
!, Washington. May 6.-The Japanese
embassy was supplied by the state
department with copy of the alien
land owning bill passed by the Cali
fornia legislature and the ambassador
will employ the time between now
and Secretary Bryan's return to Wash
ington in preparing formal protest
against the measure
Apparently the embassy has no
hope that any word President Wilson
may send after Secretary Bryan re-
turns will influence Governor Johnson
to withhold his signature from the act,
so the only object of the protest will
be to acquaint the American people
with the Japanese contention and. ii
possible, to influence the executives
branch of the government to endeavor
to nullify the action of the California
legislature.
The embassy will make known the
ground of it's protest in a diplomatic
note to Secretary Bryan. It is we'll
understood that to settle the question,
no matter what may he the point OF
objection, will require the action OF
the United States courts. It will be
for Secretary Bryan to determine
whether the United States govern
ment itself shall become party to
suit of this character, in the ca
pacity of an intervenor.
Delicate Situation Develops.
International lawyers hint that the
administration is in an exceedingly
delicate position because while appar-
emily a champion of the Japanese
cause. through the secretary Of state
before the California legislature,
probably from this point on it must
rofend the California law against
Japan in the diplomatic struggle about
to begin. .s-
II the department should adopt the
California contention that the land
law does not violate the existing
treaty with Japan then it might feel
bound to refuse to submit the issue
to arbitration by The Hague tribunal
Furthermore. it is contended that
the United States government prob
ably would be unable to enforce the
decree OF the tribunal in case 1t
should be adverse to California II the
American courts found that the state
acted within its rights in enacting
the law.
IT developed that. as result OF tho
centering Of attention upon the Cali
fornia situation. a number Of the dip
lomatic representatives in Washing
ton have been informally discussing
and comforting over the alleged viola
lions of treaties by many states OF
the Union.

Final Bursts Of Oratory Made to Al.

bate on the Democratic tariff bill in
the house wound up in final outburst
of soratory. Democrats lauded the

tariff oratory, did not produce a
numerous attendance and most of the

WIDOWS WIN COURT VICTORY
Supreme Bench Rules in Favor Of
Dependents.

Washington, April 29.-Widows and
other relatives of deceased bankrupts
won a victory in the supreme court,
which held that only cash surrender
value of insurance policies go to the
trustee in bankruptcy for creditors
and the remainder to the widows or
other relatives of bankrupts.
The decision changes what was held
to be the law in New Jersey and
Pennsylvania and removes doubt n
tc the point in all the other states.

Sacramento. Cal, May 3.-The anti
alien land holding bill drawn by At
torney General Webb passed the state
senate by the vote of Sc to 2, after
nearly ten hours of debate. The only
negative votes were cast by Senators
Cartwright, Democrat, and Wright,
Republican. ...
The futility of Secretary Bryans
mission was shown in the vote of his
own party. Nine of the ten Demo
Gratis voted contrary to the advice
which he brought from President
Wilson, while not single Progressive
yielded to his expressed wishes.
The principal provisions of the bill
are as follows:
First-Aliens eligible to citizenship
may acquire and hold land to some ex-
tent as citizens.
Second-All other aliens are limited
to the specific rights conferred upon
them by the existing treaties between
the United States and the nations of
which such aliens are citizens or SUBJ
jects. .@
laps Cannot Own Farms.
In the case of the Japanese the bill
prohibits ownership of farming or
agricultural lands, while permitting
them to own residences and factories.
manufactures and shops
Third-Leases of agricultural lands
by such aliens are permitted for a
period of not to exceed three years.
There is a question as to whether re-
newals would be lawful.
Fourth-Aliens ineligible to citizen
ship cannot inherit land. Upon the
death of an alien landholder his prop
erty shall be sold by the probate court
and the proceeds distributed to his
heirs.
Fifth-The state specifically re-
serves its sovereign right to enact
any and all laws in future with re-
spect to the acquisition Of real prop
erty by aliens.
Sixth-Present holdings of inelt-
gible aliens are not affected except
that they cannot be bequeathed or
sold to other aliens classified among
those not eligible to citizenship.

One of the things that he said was
that persons body was often treated

For instance
This certain man owned a very large
house, a house that began with a
roomy but dingy basement, which was
reached by one of that kind of doors

basement with windows, of course (but
oh, such windows), they were below the

Recipe for Bar lie Due

Somebody asked not long ago for ,
recipe for bar lie due l am inclosing mine.
which l can conscientiously recommend:
Have large cherry currants. Remove all
seeds with a clean darning needle); weigh
the seeded currants and to every three
pounds allow one cup of water and four
and a half pounds of sugar; make a syrup
OF sugar and water, stirring only long
enough to be sure the sugar is dissolved.
Remove the spoon and cook until a little
dropped into cold water forms a soft ball
Add the currants bring to a boil, and cook
three minutes. Take from the fire and
turn at once into small tumblers. Seal in
the usual way. NEWCOMER
Your formula resembles the imported
bar le due, inasmuch as the seeds are re-
moved. The process is tedious, but 1t
pays to go through the slow extraction IL
cne wishes to have the real thing" The
seeds impart a slightly acrid flavor that
mars the excellence of delicious con-
serve.

Rhubarb and Berries

This is the fruit season, and I should
like to help the housewife to have lots
of jam, using only half berries. Allow
an equal quantity of rhubarb and ber-
ries. Cut it up small and pour boiling
water over it. Let it stand from 10 to 15
minutes, or until the green color seems
to fade. After Gaping the berries mash
well, and to a quart of gooseberries and
one of rhubarb add two and one-half cups
of sugar. Boil as thick as you think is
necessary. 1t is fine. One cannot see or
taste the rhubarb and is much nicer and
the expense less. L. V. p"
But is not a blend of gooseberries and
rhubarb a trife tart for the ordinary
taste? Would not the dead sweet of ripe
dewberries and huckleberries be enlivened
by the rhubarb? Gooseberry jam is so
good by itself that I grudge the admixture
of anything else. In making it of green
gooseberries l allow pound for pound Of
fruit and sugar. In blac<berries and rasp-
berry jam three-auarters of pound of
sugar to pound of fruit suffices.
