Manila may now be said to be up-to-
the-minute In things metropolitan. The
latest adjunct to its activities calling
attention to progress In this direction
was the recent appearance upon the
streets OF motor car washed in mud
and powdered with the fine dust of va.
rious grades Of colors produced be-
tween here and Baguio. It had made
a new record between the summer
capital and Manila.
The machine was stripped to a con-

top were superfuous to requirements
and no windshield protected the driv.

blow at midday across the plain.

Sacramento, Calf, April 3O.-If the
purpose of the visit of Secretary of
State Bryan was to check further ac-
ton by the Legislature on an alien
land law directed against the Japan
ese, his mission has been a failure.
The conferences between Secretary
Bryan and the legislators closed at
11:3O o'clock last night.
Within three minutes, and before
most of the spectators knew what
had occurred, Senator A. E. Boyn-
ton, president pro tenn of the up
per house, convened the Senate, and
an amended land bill which provides
that no alien who is Ineligible to citi-
zenship under the laws of the United
States may hold real property in Cali
fOrnia, was adopted as substitute
for the pending measure, by unani-
nous viva vOce vote.
In reply to question as to whether
the. substitute bill, drawn by Attorney
General Webb, which was acted on by
the Senate later, would be acceptable,
Secretary Bryan said:
Il have telegraphed to President
Wilson and he deems it inadvisable to
sanction any particular statutes or
1t should be made emphatically evil
dent that we are acting just now as
the federal government, sanctioning
not this or that, but as friends of Cali

cal matter?"

I'VE are delighted with Mr.. Bryan's
speech, and all that he said was given
the most attentive and respectful con-
sideration. The members of the gov
ernment of California with unanimity
expressed themselves as desiring to
aid the national government and in no
wise to embarrass it. The spirit per-
vading the meetings was one of friend
ly cooperation and full of patriotic
purpose. After it all, though, think
the majority of the legislators felt, and
/ certainly do myself, that no suffi-
Client reason has thus far been pre-
sented that should cause California to

Greeley, Colo.-J. l.. Brush, former
lieutenant governor OF Colorado, died
at his home here after an illness Of
nearly two weeks. The contributing
causes were blood poisoning and pneu-
monia. Blood poisoning developed
from scratch on his hand while he
was working in his garden two weeks
ago and the pneumonia was contract
ed about week later. Governor
Brush was seventy-seven.
Members of the family who were
summoned several days ago were at
last of the relatives reached the city
barely in time to be recognized by the
dying pioneer, who lapsed into uncon-
sciousness fer several hours preceding
the end, which came quietly as though
the patient were sleeping.
The funeral was held from the fam
lily. home and was attended by people
from all parts of the state.
Governor Brush was closely identi-
fled with the history of northern Colo
RADIO, where he lived the greater part
of the time since crossing the plains
with an OK team in 1859. He began
his life in the West by mining in Rus
sell gulch. Later he freighted across
the plains and gradually drifted into
cattle raising and farming. The town
of Brush, in Weld county, is named
after him.
Two sons, two daughters and step
daughter survive. They are Jared l..
Jr of Greeley, Walter, sheriff of Logan
county; Miss Ada Brush and Miss Mar
garet Doolittle, a stepdaughter Of Cali
fornia, and Mrs. c. E. Lester of Estes
