Sacramento. Cal, May 5.-The alien
land ownership bill, previously passed
by the senate. was passed by the as
sembly late Saturday night and awaits
only the signature of the governor to
become a law.
Only three votes were cast against
the measure in the lower house, one
democrat and two republican mem-
bers opposing the bill on the final pas
sage.
The assembly refused to strike out
the clause permitting leases. to when
the democrats objected on Friday. Sew
eral other amendments. similar to those
adopted in the senate, likewise We're
voted down by the heavy administra-
ton majority. and in the end the bill
carried with seventy-two affirmative
votes out of seventy-flve. Five mem
bers were absent.
Meanwhile the governments legal
experts are studying the Webb bin in
an effort to locate what may be points
of attack Many officials here believe
the lawyers OF the California legisla-
1ur. have succneded in framing bill
that may successfully resist attack on
the ground that it violates any pro-
vision of the treaty OF 1911. In that
case Japan would need to rely upon
the general provisions of international
law to secure relief from the threat
ened discrimination 1T alleges.
In some apprehension that an effort
might be made to connect with the
present California situation the recent
placing OF orders for three dread
naughts the Japanese embassy o.
flcials today declared these vessels
were appropriated for by the last diet.

ton OF plans to cover a period of years
in naval developments.

RATlFIEs WRONG ACT.
Wisconsin Legislature Takes Up Reso.
luton That Failed Of Passage.

Washington. May BY curious
error of the Wisconsin legislature the
direct election of senator's has almost
been prevented from going into effect
FOR some months.
II has been reported here that the
legislature of Senator La F'ollette'8
state, in seeking to ratify the direct
elections amendment, ratified tho
wrong measure. That is. there was em-
bodied In the resolution OF ratification
which passed the Wisconsin Legislatures
a copy of a resolution for direct elec-
tions that never passed congress.
Somebody up at Madison got hold OF
n copy of one of the resolutions dealing
with direct elections which was pro-
posed in congress, but which did noe
go thru. The certified copy OF the res-l
olution that actually did pass congress
somehow was overlooked. The resolu.
ton which the Wisconsin Legislature
embodied in its resolution of ratifica-
ton was one that would have fully rec-
ognized the right OF the states to cons
troll senatorial elections.
The legislature of Wisconsin 10 still
in session. and II is expected to corr
rect the blunder.

response to the demands of the
European powers.

Montenegrins and Turks, Nicholas de-
ciared that he would hold the city un-
til the last drop of Montenegrin blood
had been spilled AS the powers had
decided previously that Scutari was to
form part Of the autonomous state OF
Albania. a crisis was brought about and
the powers brought strong pressure to
bear to force him and his troops to
evacuate the place.
In the meantime Austria took steps
to force the powers decision and con-
centrated troops in Bosnia, Herzegov
ina and Dalmatia. The 1owers in the
interim instituted a blockade Of the
Montenegrin coast. All these demon
strations. however. seemed not to affect
the determination Of the king.

some OF the Montenegr:n troops were
withdrawn from Scutari in order. II
was said, to resist a possible Austrian
advance. Then word came that Austria
and Italy had entered into an agree

a military exposition and It was known
that the Austrian army was preparing
to march forward.
The attitude of Russia under these
circumstances was mater Of great
concern to Europe and when she Joined

ctsed on Montenegro. great relief was

Washington. May S.-The contempt
of court judgments upon Samuel Com
pers. Frank Morrison and John Nit
chell, officials of the American Fedora
ton Of Labor were sustained today by
the court Of appeals for the District OF
Columbia, which, however, revised the
sentences to give Gomper thirty days
In prison, and Morrison and Mitchell
$500 fines each. The supreme justice
dissenting held that the sentences
should be entirely eliminated.
All were convicted Of violating a
court injunction in the noted Buck
stove and range case. In the former
decision Gompers was sentenced to one
year Imprisonment, and the others at
nine months.
May Take Appeal.
An appeal from the decision today
will be taken to the supreme court OF
the United States If attorneys for the
labor leaders can find grounds on when
to ask the higher court tc review the
judgment. On an appeal previously
made the judgment was dismissed and
the contempt proceedings were brought
all over again. In the previous action

the men in contempt was unanimous
The dissenting opinion Of the chief JUS

avenue of further appeal.

The supreme court today extended
+he time in which the Union Pacific
railroad must dispose of it's 46 per cent
in the Southern Pacific stock from

complying with the request of the I'm
ion Pacific attorneys for an indefinate
extension of time.
The supreme court decisions today
did not include the state rate cases. the

case or any of the other important
suits pending.
The general effect of the decision is
a victory for the government. Attor-
ney General McReynolds opposed eS
tension longer than July l.
The request for the extension came
when 1t became apparent that the cir
cult judges sitting as a district court
Of Utah would not be able in the time
allotted to pass upon the dissolution

neys requested an indefinite extension

Berlin. Germany, May 5.-No cnndt-
tions were mentioned by Montenegro
today when she informed the German
foreign office that she had decided to
place Scutari in the hands Of the pow
ers.
On the other hand the foreign office
says there is no evidence Of any con.
crete steps in this direction yet and
doubt the veracity of the reports that
Montenegro has already evacuated the
city.
No date for the evacuation of Scu-
tart by the Montenegrin. troops was
given in the communication received
here from Cettinje, but there is reason
to believe that the German minister In
the Montenegrin capital received as
surance from Nicholas that the first
steps would be taken within twenty
four hours.
Further details Of the intentions Of
Montenegro may be forthcoming ut the
meeting Of ambassadors at London to-
day.
The news received from Cettinje and
the strength of the Vienna market con-
fined the belief Of Berlin financial
circles that a peaceful settlement was
in sight, but the bourse, aitho frm and
somewhat higher, opened with great
reserve. the speculative interests being
slow to revive their optimism.
