defeated the motion, and the bill was

THE JAPANESE QUESTION.

Washington, May 2.-In official cir
cles here the opinion is gaining ground
that the situation created by proposed
anti-alien land owning legislation in
California has been relieved largely
of it's gravity and that satisfactory
adjustment has been brought into
sight by latest developments at Sac
ramento.
Adoption by the California senate
of the pending land ownership bill
for permit leases Of lands by Japanese
for periods not exceeding three years,
Is connected by the officers of the ad-
ministration here with Secretary Bry-
ans postponemcnt of his return TO
Washington. 1t is believed the secre-
tary hopes to mitigate the drastic
features Of the bill to a point where
there would be no ground for objec-
ton from the Japanese government.
Any such legislation as that pend
ing in California would not be wei
coined by the Japanese, but it is said
that in the higher circles in Tokyo il
is realized that some such legislation
Is inevitable and must be accepted.
provided Japanese pride is saved, and
the probable injury to Japanese sub
Jects in California reduced to a min
imum.
Ihe Japanese embassy officials here
are discrectly silent regarding the last
phase Of the situation but it is be-
lieved they regard this last measure
as far less offcnsc than the original
Webb bill.
Most of the agricultural lands in
California cultivated by Japanese are
held under lease and the property oc-
cupicd as residences and business
houses by Japanese is especially ex-
emptcd from csCheatcmcnt, SO that thc
pccunlary damage caused by the act
would he reduced to a minimum bv
the amendment. 1t is pointed out.
TOO, That by recognizing the validity
oi leases the CalifOrnianS are simply
duplicating the conditions under
which Americans hold lands in ia
pan.

WHITMAN TAKES THE STAND
Probably Prevents Ruling Out of
Evidence Against Accused.

New York, May 2.-District At
torney Whitman jumped into the
breach today when the defence. in
the trial Of the four former police in
spectors accused of conspiracy, made
an effort to rule out important testi-
mony involving one of the quartette.
The prosecutor motioned A. L. Thom-
as, detective in the district attorneys
staff, from the stand and took his
aides place as a witness. Thomas
had given testimony to show that
former Inspector John ]. Murtha, who
had not been materially involved by
evidence previously produced, had
come to the prosecutors home, after
being indicted. and sought immunity
as reward for turning States evi-
dence. The defense's objection to the
revelation as a breach of confidence
caused Mr.. Whitman's Intervention.
The prosecutor denied that Murtha's
talk heard by Thomas had been con-
fdential.
Shortly after the prosecutors ap-
pearance as a witness the State rested
it's case. Counsel for the defence open-
ed without addressing the jury and
called half a dozen witnesses in an
effort to show that the ex-inspectors.
Murtha, Thompson, Hussey and
Sweeney, did not conspire to obstruct
justice by bribihg grand jury witness
es to leave the State as charged in the
Indictment. The defence probably
will rest tomorrow night.
Members of Hussey's household tes-
tilted as first witnesses for the de-
fence to show that Hussey did NOT
send telephone messages regarded Inv
the State as material to its case.
Deputy Police Commissioner Dough
erty told Of the police efforts TO bring

E1NAL DEBATE FOLLOWED RX'
PUSHING OF MEASURE
THROUGH.
Republicans and Democrats Object.
But Progressive Majority Override
All Opposition.

Sacramento, May 2-The final de-
bate in the senate on the amended
draft Of the Webb anti-alien land bill
began before s o'clock this evening
and it was still in full swing at 113O.
AT the outset the majority leaders
made it known that they would not
permit another interruption of their
plans under any circumstances and
the word went forth that the body
would be held in session all night, if
necessary, in order to bring the bill
to final vote
The only opposition was from Sena-
tor Wright (Republican) and the
Democrats, who sought in vain to
break through the solid Progressive
front with a string of amendments
that would tie up the bill until next
week. YEARLY the debate went on
and wearily the amendments were
voted down one by one.
1t was what the minority expected,
but ii is their programme to give
the Progressive majority a chance
to go on record as opposed to all sug-
gestions by Secretary Bryan and to
the advice of President Wilson.
The senate today showed a resolute
determination to put aside the rec
concentrations Of President Wilson
and his envoy, Secretary Bryan, and
pass an act prohibiting Japanese and
other aliens ineligible to citizenship
from holding land by purchase or by
lease for more than three years.

the end sought was the same.
Democratic opposition was purely
tactical. The minority confessed its
sympathy with the ends sought and
freely criticised the BILL not as toe
drastic, but as too weak. Where the
minority differed was in it's judgment
Of the means wiSest to employ. This
attitude found its expression in 6
