the majority of the Legislators felt, and

Washington, May Practically all
of Tuesday was devoted by President
Wilson to consideration of the situa-
ton arising from California's project
ed anti-alien land law.
The President was in frequent tele-
graphic communication with Secretary
Bryan at Sacramento, Cal, and laid
the entire subject before the Cabinet
at a two-hour meeting. He also con-
ferred at different times with John
Bassett Moore, acting secretary Of
state, who in turn was visited by Wis
count Chinda, the Japanese ambassa-
dor.
No kilograms from or to Secretary
Bryan were made public at the White
House. Mr.. Moore declined to discuss
the negotiations and reticence was
maintained at the White House. That
the President was somewhat worried
about the outcome Of the situation is
shown by the fact that he sent several
secret messages in government code
to Bryan during the day.

WEBB LAW IS NOT
 A CRIMINAL STATUTE
Prohibits Liquor Shipments, But Pro-
 vides No Penalty.

Washington, June 19.-The Webb law forbidding interstate shipments of liquor into dry states is not a crim- inal statute and violations of it cam not be prosecuted in United States circuit courts. Attorney General Me- Reynolds so declared in instructions sent today to every United States att torney in the country. The law merely prohibits such interstate traffic and contains no penalty for inffactions.
 Its purpose said the attorney gem eral, "is to permit state laws to oner- ate in respect of intoxicating liquors moving in interstate commerce"
 The law simply deprfves shippers of any privileges they might claim on the ground of interstate commerce and permits the application of state prohi- bition laws to interstate commerce in liquaPs.
 This is the first time the department of justice has construed the Webb law, which was declared unconstitutional by former President Taft and former Attorney General Wickersham Presi- dent Taft vetoed the bill on the ground that it violated the interstate commerce clause Of the constitution by delegating the regulation of interstate commerce to the states, The bill was passed over his veto.

Labor Leaders
 Granted Appeal
THE CONTEMPT CASE GOES TO
 SUPREME COURT.
A HEARING IN OCTOBER
Sentences Recently Reduced by Court of AppeaIs-President Gompers Ser. iousIy III for Several Weeks.

Washington, June 19.-Chief Justice White today granted an appeal to the supreme court for Sampel Gompers, John Mitchell and Frank Morrison, court in the noted Bucks Stove and Range case. The appeal will be heard after October.
 The three officials were held in con- tempt by the supreme court of the District of Columbia for violating an Bucks Stove and Range company.
 Sentences Recently Reduced.
 Upon complaint by the company the court sentenced Gompers to a year in jail, Mitchell to nine months and Mor- riSon to six months. The supreme court oof the United States set aside all the sentences because the con- tempt proceedings was brought in the name of the stove company.
 Thereupon the district supreme court appointed a committee to bring con- tempt proceedings in the name of the court. This was done and later the same sentences were imposed as in pea1s of the district recently reduced these sentences to one month s impris- onment for Gompers and to $500 fines for the other defendants.

The court adjourned without announcement of final action. but today the chief jus tice, probably in accordance with dI- rections of the full court, granted a writ of error and an appeal in the cases This technical action was due to division of opinion as to whether the contempt cases should be treated as Flaw cases" and brought up on a writ of error,'' or treated as equity cases and brought up on appeal"

ters the question was far from an- swered.
 Harvard Wins Toss in Each Event.
 Harvard's sons were on the other hand confident that the Wray stFokes coupled with the lucky fortune that had followed the Crimson during the past A hours would continue to the end. And there was reason for the same for early in the afternoon when the crews tossed for positions Harvard won first choice in each event and se- lected the west course for all three races.
 Victory for Two Harvard Fours.
 To complete the day the Harvard freshman four and the second varsity four each succeeded in defeating it's Yale rival in impressive fashion Tn fact the rowing of the Eli substitute crews was a most disappointing exhi- bition regardless of time or the dis tance of defeat. At no time did the Yale fours appear like winners and were apparently lacking in both form and endurance.
 Won Mile Race by Three Lengths.
 The Harvard freshman four won the first mile race by 3 lengths, easing up in five minutes and 30 seconds. while the Blue crew finished 12 seconds later in badly shaken condition. When the varsity seconds met the result was an even more impressive Harvard vic- tory. Jumping into the lead, at the very start the Crimson four led easily for the full mile. winning by five lengths in five minutes, 27 seconds, while Yales four crossed the line in minutes and 47 seconds.

New London Conn, June 19.-With the Harvard clan as confident as it's Crimson banners are defiant and the Yale adherents as dubious as the weather forecast, the night before the annual regatta lacked many of the features which have heretofore made these gatherings famous. Although the hotels were taxed to capacity, the driz- gle which turned to a heavy rain early in the evening took the edge off the gaiety and left the crowds cramped and restless.
 Harvard Men Claiming Clean Sweep.
 After the showing made by the sub- Stitute fourS in the informal prelim- mary races this afternoon, Harvard enthusiasts were claiming another clean sweep of the Thames tomorrow and the Yale undergraduates and alumni were wondering if such was to be the case. Certainly the work of the Eli substitutes bore no encour- agement for the Blue cohorts and any tendency to back the New Haven crews was checked with complete thorough ness.
 Little Vale Money in Sight
 It was conceded that the Yale stroke situation was at best an experime ent and to wager under such conditions unwarranted. The Yale squad pooled $500 against a like sum from Red Top but in the usual betting quarters there was hardly a dollar of Yale backing to be found and Harvard's following gave up the attempt early in the eve ming. As the rain dripped steadily the students and alumni gathered in lit tie groups and discussed strokes and the chances of each crew in the three races.
 Vale Calculations Upset.
 It was generally stated by Yale ad- herents that the eleventh hour shift of Denegre for Gore at bow in the Yale varsity eight had entirely upset pre- vious calculations. Denegre, a. heavier and less experienced oarsrnan than his predecessor, it was predicted, might be expected to upset the delicate balanc- ing of the shell under the English system of seating. What the crew would do with the new stroke under stress of a race was also a much dis cussed point and when at midnight the conferees began to retire to quar-

MAN EMuLATEs FEAT OF MISS DAWSON.
Throws Himself in Front off August
 Beimont's Colt.

Ascot, England, June 19.-The race for the Ascot gold cup, one of the most coveted prizes of the English turf, was marred today by an incident similar to that which brought the kings horse down in the Derby when Emily Wild ing Pavison sought and found death in the cause of the militant suffrag getteS. In this case it was q man, Harold Hewett, who emulated Miss Davison's feat.
 According to the Ascot police Hewitt was not connected with the suffffrag- ists, and was of unsound mind, of a type peculiarly liable to be carried away by the initiative impulse. He re- ceived the same penalty for his tener- ity as did Miss Davison-a fracture at the base of the skull.
 At late hour tonight Hewitt was lying unconscious at a hospital, after undergoing an operation in the forlorn hope that his life may be saved.
 King George and Queen Mary. ex- King Manuel of Portugal, the crown prince and princess of Sweden, the duke of Connaught, governor general of Canada, and Princess Patricia and a number of lesser royalties were tching the race from the royal syand. Coming down the straight, Au- gust Belmonts famous colt Tracery, 8 son of Rock Sand. shot into the lead. He was going like @ well oiled piece of machinery and soon had the nearest horse several lengths behind. Seem :? ingly Tracery was assured of an easy victory.
 Suddenly a man jumped from the rails, waving a red haS with one hand and with the other pointing 8 revolver at Jockey Whaley, who had the mount on Tracery. He shouted: Pull up! did his best to devert the horses course, but failed. Tracery striking the man full in the chest with his shoulder, sent him flying several yards and came down on his nose.

WILSON MoDIFlEs THE
 IMMIGRATION REGULATIONS.
Bears on Admission of Hindu and
 Malay Races.

Washington. June 19.-To check fur ther complication of Pacific coast problems by unrestrained admission of Hindus and the Malay races of Asia to continental United States from the American insular possessions. Secre tary of Labor Wilson. on recommends tion of Commissioner General of Im- migration Caminette, today made 8 reaching amendment to the immf- grafton regulations.
 The modification authorizes imni grafton officials at mainland ports to reject aliens coming from the insular possessions unless it should appear that at the time of entry thereto they were not members of the excluded classes or likely to become public charges.
 This action was the outcome of the cases of three Hindus-Schan Sing, Bashan Singh and Sachu Singh-who arrived at San Francisco from the Philippines and were detained on the ground that they might, become public charges. The circumstances in this case, however, caused Secretary Will son to order the admission of the Hindus today.
