BRYAN WAITING FOR
 WORD FROM JOHNSON
Is Anxious to Know What He Will
 Do With Land Bill

WASHINGTON, May 12-The ad ministration is awaiting tonight a reply either by a message or by ac- ton from Governor Johnson to Sec retary Bryan's telegram of last night requesting that he veto the alien land owning bill passed by the Calif ornia legislature and give the state department an opportunity to deal automatically with the problem i'm volved
 In some quarters it was expected the text of the Japanese protest would be given publicity today but apparently the officials concluded that full publicity at this stage would only embarass negotiations.
 Therefore the state department de- clined to make a statement as to the precise nature of the Japanese communication and the secretary in answer to an inquiry on that point simply pointed to his own message of last night which referred to the Japanese communication as "very earnest protest.'

NEW YORK, May 12.-Alfonso L. Jiminez, newly appointed Mexican consul general, received today the fol- lowing telegram from Francisco De La Barra. Mexican secretary of State:
 ''Tre declarations of President Hu- erta about the attitude of the United States which does not recognize this government yet have created very fla vorable impression in the public opin- ion. as they embrace the sentiments and patriotism of the Mexican people.
 'The published statements about the supposed want of protection for Americans is untrue as this govern ment maintains a friendly attitude to- ward all foreign governments and have only emphasized the desire that in all our relations with foreign coun tries the strictest principles of reel procity be observed. General cOndi tions are rapidly improving"

CoL Juan Cabral, who arrived today at HermOsilIo from the frontier, estimated the killed will exceed six hundred. A trainload of oil and fire wood was rushed south to cremate the bodies.

PENAL CODE AGREED TO BUT

Board of Pardons Will Take Place of Restriction On Governors Power Over Reprieves. Other Mat terS of Interest.

The senate and house have about reached an agreement in the matter of the penal code agreeing to with draw on the Kelton amendment limit ing the power of the governor in the matter of reprieves of convicts, pro Yiding that strong measure relative to the board of pardons and commits sioners for paroled prisoners be in serted in the bill. This is the dispois tion of the majority of the confer ence committee and will be sent to the house in this shape some time to- day. The senate adopted the com promise yesterday The board of pardons is to consist of the attorney general. the superintendent of public instruction and a citizen member ap- pointed by two state officers.
 Whether or not this will reach the approval of Governor Hunt is not known. but it is known that he has been in favor of a board of pardons provided he appointed them. His idea was for three citizens to be ap- pointed to the board whosa terms should expire two years apart so that each succeeding governor should ap point one man.
 While this is the settlement be- tween the two houses on the .Inatter of the penal code which has been hanging fire for some tine, and which was vetoed by Governor Hunt after last session, the mine tax r1aI- ter is not by any means so well set tied.

HAL JOHNSON IN
 "OH LOOK WHO'S HERE,

Oh, Look Who's Here,' the most conspicuous success among the many tabloid musical plays now ap- bearing in the leading vaudeville houses, has a most ingenious plot centered around the remarkable ability of Hal Johnson as an im- personator of feminine types. John son is called The Julian Eltinge of Vaudeville" and is scoring the suc- cess of his career in the big musical comedy production supplied him by Halton Powell, under whose man. agemem he is appearing.
 MT. Johnson's most valuable aid in Oh, Look Who's Here" is Miss Emma Earle, a character comedienne of unusual talent. Her inimitable travesty introduced in the action of the play as a speciality is a se2sa- tion. She makes her appearance in lavender gown of the vintage of our great grandmother's time, de- scribes how different life is today than when Il was a gal.' She starts it with comparison of clothes, then dissertates on the love dittEs of the periods. Just a Song of Twi- light" and oh You Beautiful Doll' and concludes with graceful pre- sentation of the minuet of colonial times and the raggiest tango of them all.
 "Oh, Look Who's Here" will be seen at the Elks theatre for three nights and three matinee performances con- mencing Monday, October 27.

satiety of his vanity and carnal ap- petite, his Bacchanal clebrations while Rome was in flames at his own order, his cowardly shifting of the blame to the shoulders of the help less Christians, when the populace turned against the destroyer of homes and relatives; his terrible sacrifice of innocent men, women and children, in a vain effort to ap- pease the maddened people; his final denunciation, and then his igno- minious death, when aid was near, his cowardly and craven hand fails him, and one of his attendants plunges the dagger into his body, can only be fully realized when one wit nesses the moving pictures.
 Lessons almost numberless can be drawn from the pictures. There is the little body of Christians, huddled together in prayer, as the lions ap- proach them to read them limb from limb, and the cool, deliberate sui eide of Pretonius, Roman courier and friend of Nero, who, surrounded by wine-filled friends, smashed his cost ly goblet to the floor, kisses his slave mistress with smile, Vnd calmly allows the physicians to open the veins in his arm and that of his mistress, and goes to death smiling in order to thwart Nero's order con- demaing him to execution.
 There is also another lesson in the cringing, cowardly shuffling off of Nero, the ruler, and this death of the man whom he has condemned. The courier, in his last moments, reads his final poem to the tryant, in which he forgives all of Nero's monstrous barbarities and cruelties. save that

seen at Elks Theatre November 1O II and 12:
 "It may be sacrilegious to com pare Quo Vadis" and Anna Held Before expressing appreciation for the magnificent picture at the Ly- ccum of the story of the early martyr dom of the Christians, under the de- spotic reign of the tryant Nero, it is well to make a slight comparison. Anna Held demanded $2 for her spectacle" and as she only gave two performances she got it from a goodly number of Memphans. The moving picture men at the Lyceum demand only 50 cents for Quo Vadis, and are showing twice daily the en- tire week. For value given, the man. agement of the local playhouse should have reversed his prices. Anna Held at 30 cents would have been high; Quos Vadis at $2 is cheap.
 The flowery phrases of the press agent for the moving pictures we took with rather a blase air. We had read of magnificent stupendous productions before. Then we saw the films. The press agent in this case had told the truth. The pic lures leave one awe-struck. One can hardly imagine how they could be improved upon. In stage setting, in costuming in careiulness as to his torical detail, they leave little or noth- ing to be supplied by the imagina tion, and the pictures are a sermon in themselves
 They teach lesson and strike val la2t blows for Christianity and the Master that are for greater than a number of sermons we have heard.

 Nero. the tryant, has been held up to later ages before, but perhaps never with such master strokes as in the films. His vanity, his cruelty, his egotism, his barbarous butcheries, we have known of before; but his in- sane desire for lust, for blood, his orgies, his revels, his weak appeals for cheap plaudits from his subjects the easy manipulation of the Roman ruler by his courtiers through the

Professor Wallace tells the girl that unless she aban- dons every relationship with his son, he will completely disinherit him. That night the servant overhears heated altercation between father and son, and the next day the Professor was found dead with a mysterious wound ia his side. Kate Kirby, the girl detective, is engaged. All the arts of modern criminal detection and many unique methods are intro duced, which prove futile until Miss Kirby finds a carbon sheet the inn pression on which is letter from the Professor to Violet asking her to call after the performance, as he wishes "to settle.'' Blood-stains are discovered leading to the observatory where other disclosures prove the Professor was shot. A notebook found in the Professors pocket indi- cates that he had been engaged on an experiment until an hour before dawn, which stamps the time of his death. The son is arrested on the strength of motive. Following the clue disclosed by the carbon, Miss Kirby secures a position ill "The Red Rose' company and becomes ln- innate with Violet in an effort to gain her confidence. The son is subjected to a gruelling third degree, and col lapses under the ordeal. These facts are graphically told in the evening paper, which Miss Kirby reads in an intensely dramatic manner to Violet ia the hope that she will admit her guilt. Later, Miss Kirby overhears her praying for the fate of Richard so earnestly as to force the conclu- sion that she is innocent. But Miss Kirby is absolutely mystified when she receives a telegram from Police Headquarters advising her that Violet has confessed to the murder. Miss Kirby suspecting Violet's motive, 'cross-examines the girl, who adheres to her confession. The boy is releas- ed, in Violet's> presence. It is the first time that the two have met since the Professors death, and the pathos of the meeting, tragic in the extreme, is intensified when the boy hears the confession and recoils in horror, renouncing Violet, who, with stoic fortitude, abandons herself to her fate. Miss Kirby re-examines the effects of the deceased Professor, and discovers a note referring to the perfection of wonderful invention an hour before dawn. A gleam of new hope enters the mystery, she
