HITCHCOCK And BRYAN
MAY GO TO NAT OVER
NEBRASKA PATRONAGE
indications Of Friction Are
I Attracting Attention In B
Washington.

Washington, d. c., May 20.-Talk OF
trouble between Senator Hitchcock and
Secretary Bryan, is growing here. Stor-
les of friction over patronage areNbe-
ginning to5sbe printed in eastern pa
pers. Those familiar with, the situation
in. Nebraska have deemed it inevitable
from the first that trouble would break
out. No sign yet is given that any adj
justment is likely over the collectorship
for which Chris Guenther has been ln-'
dorsed by Hitchcock, While George II.
LOOMS is, supported by Bryan's friends
The case is less serious than the au-
ditorship, for which Hitchcock has IN
dorsed Samuel Patterson and BRYAN.
has Endorsed Findley Howard, Efforts
of State Chairman w. H. Thompson,
who was here lately. have not solved
the difficulty. Mr.. Bryan is3not Will
ling to have an organization unfriend-
ly to him built up in Nebraska by use
of federal offices.
Those familiar with the situation SAL
neither Bryan nor Hitchcocksis anxious
to precipitate a fight, and both are
represented as being sincere in wishing
to avoid embarrassing the president,
but it>is generally conceded that there
will be no compromise when. matters
| come to a showdown.
Nebraska friends of Senator Hltch-
cock say he has received assurances
from President Wilson that he is not
to be ignored when appointments are
contemplated. but he has never been
called tothe WhiteBHouse, as have 9TH
er senators, some of, them republicans,
and none of his recommendations has
been acted upon. Rather he has been
told the policy of the administration
will be to allow republicans to serve
| out their terms unless charges are pre-
ferred against them.
For weeks emiSSaries. from Nebraska
! have been making visits to Washing
ton, some from the MISUNDERSTANDING
faction and others from the Bryan-
LOOMS element. LOOMS supporters
have invariably sought Secretary Bry-
an. 1t is regarded as significant that
these emissaries have in no instance
tried to see the president.
Harmony dinners to the contrary
Notwithstanding, it is conceded i'll
! feeling still exists between Speaker
Clark and Secretary Bryan Bitterness,
they contend, remain in the heart of
the disappointed House leader and that
feeling extends to their adherents and
will be a large factor in the distribu-
tion of democratic patronage.
Although up to this time compare
lively few nominations for federal Off
ces in the states have been sent in by
President Wilson according to the stor-
les of the men who have been in Wash
ington there. have been enough to show
that Clark supporters receive little con.
sideration attthe hands of the appoint
ing power, whether it be the4president
or secretary of state, but h Bryan
and Wilson allies have been given re-
served seats at the pie counter.

BRITISH PROVINCES
WOULD JOIN UNITED
STATES I'm JAP WAR

London, May 10 "Should
wal break out the sympathies
of Australia, New Zealand and
western Canada would be vio-
lently on the side of the United
States" says the Pail Mall
Gazette today in discussing the
California alien land owner
ship controversy.
The newspaper considers that
1T would be a grave mistake to
underestimate the chances of a
conflict between the United
States and Japan. 1t says:
THE opinion that the Jap
ane will never go to war to
enforce their treaty rights in
California Is one of those dan
gerous g~eneralities which lead
nations blindfolded to the brink
of the pit" "
The Pail Mall Gazette x
presses the opinion that there
r several reasons why Japan
may be DESTROYS of forcing the
issue at the present moment.
4 The most obvious of these is the
pending opening of the Pan
! anna canal, while a more remote
one is connected with the con-
dition of her internal politics.

clusion of Asiatics from per-

ARizoNAIANTlrALlEN BILL
S SSIGNED%BY GOVERNOR

Tucson. Ariz., May 19.-Governor
Hunt has signed Arizona's new alien
land bill. It prohibits any alien, whether
of Caucasian or Monaghan descent,
from owning land in Arizona lie he has
not declared his intention Of beoom-s
Ing citizen.
This not only bars Asiatics. who can
not become citizens, but also a large
number of wealthy Mexicans, who live
or the American side of the line. but
who have maintained their allegiance
to the government of Mexico.
A vigorous fight was made to have
the bill apply only to, aliens ineligible
to citizenship OF behalf of the Mexican
holders Of property in Arizona.
There are few Japanese holding
property in the state, though many Chi.
nese hold title N these, like the nom
citizens among the Mexicans, will be
required to dispose of the real estate
titles they now hold within a period
five years. The law exempts only
mining claims held by aliens or real
property necessary to the proper work
ing OF mines.
Representative Japanese conferred
with the governor in an effort to in
duce him to veto the bill, but he de-
clined, on the ground that such a law
was necessary in the interests OF the
white race. l@ Al
