BRYAN CARRIES JAP
FIGHT INTO HOUSE

SACRAMENTO, May 2.-That the
Federal Administration, through the
Democrats of the California legisia-
ture and by appeals from President
Wilson to Governor Johnson. will
make every effort to block the Webb
anti alien land owing bill was strong
ly indicated here today.
With the Senate prepared to put
the measure to a final vote before
noon today. Secretary of State Bryan
has Observation-Disclosures hope Of pre-
venting action In that body.
He is concentrating his efforts to-
day on members of the assembly. In a
caucus with the senate Democrats last
night, Bryan urged them to exercise
extreme caution in supporting alien
legislation
tically certain of passing the upper
house today, the Democrats will make
a strong effort to amend II. 1t is eX-
pected that they will fail, and that the
bill will go to the lower house for
approval.
It was learned today that Governor
Johnson approves a plan to amend the
bill in the assembly to permit ia
panese in the State to lease land for
not more than three years.
Whether the Senate will take any
action regarding this plan today is
problematical. The Assembly may also
attach an emergency clause which
would put the bill into effect i'm
mediately after 1t is signed, thus pre-
venting the wholesale grabbing of
land by Japanese during the ninety
day period which ordinarily must
elapse between the time the bill is
passed and the time it becomes effec-
tive.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-. May 2-Delegates to
the third general conference of the
Peace Congress broke away from the
peace topic this afternoon long enough
to take a sight-seeging trip about the
city and attend a reception at Shaw's
Garden.
On the japanese question former Vice
President Fairbanks declares from per-
sonal experience in the East, he knew
that Japan did not want war with this
nation-that no one wanted to fight the
United States.
Booker T. Washington says that for
years we had been sending mission
aries to Japan to teach the Japanese
the better way of living and now that
they are coming here there comes a
demand for their exclusion. He said he
felt sorry for Americans who demanded
the handicap Of the Japanese for fear
Of not being able to compete with them.

Kyle B. Price Says
Partisan Politics Blocks
Real investigations

Scoring present civil service methods,
Kyle B. Price, of Alabama, before the
National Fair Play Association, de-
clared that government by parties pre-
vents proper investigation. When the
Administra ton heads are of one party
and the assistants are of another. the
''ins and outs will be concealed. he
declared.
Price also attacked the mingling of
white and colored employees on the same
tasks in the civil service, and went on
record as favoring a school In which
employees would be trained like mill
tary officers.
A letter was read asserting a young
| woman in one of the local offices had
been forced to take dictation from a
negro who was usually intoxicated.
The speakers were L. H. Musgrave.
Of Springfield. Mo-; Mrs. Laura c. Kel-
logg. of Wisconsin: and Ernest D. Mar
tin, president of the association. Lafe
Pence, former Congressman from Colo
RADIO, declared that he would investi-
gate conditions Of which members of
the association now complain.
In regard to the proposed investiga-
ton of the administration OF the civil
service law by a Senate committee.
Gen John c. Black, president of the
Civil Service Commission. said today
that undoubtedly such an investiga-
ton would be helpful, as II. would
show that the law has been rigidly
and impartially observed and en-
forced, so far as the Civil Service
Commission and Its authority are
concerned.
TT is evident that there Is q mis-
understanding and misapprehension
OF the facts concerning the work OF
the commission and its administration
of the law" said General Black. THE
commission neither courts nor shuns
investigation. Congress and the pub
lie should be fully and impartially in
formed, and the commission will glad
