VETERANS PLEA
SENDS SLATON
To REUNION
Governor Unable to Resist HvtuaI,
Demand of Old Soldiers to
Visit Brunswick

Governor Slaton will leave for
Brunswick again Wednesday night
to attend the State reunion of Con-
federate veterans. Despite the fact
that fhe spent Saturday and Sunday
in Brunswick and had no intention
of returning there for some time, he
found 1t impossible to withstand the
oratory Of the grizzled warriors, who
virtually demanded that he attend
their gathering.
ITS good and proper for you to
come here and inspect the States SOL
diers," the veterans said. They are
a fine lot of fellows and would show
up well if circumstances demanded
a display of their bravery. But what
about the men who have barred their
breasts to the enemys bullets In de-
Tense Of the State?
Our number is dwindling rapidly.
The half century swinging of the
scythe of time has taken many of us
to the world beyond. 1t is but meet
and proper, we might say manda-
tory, that the Governor of the State
meet with us at our reunions"
Such a plea as this the Governor
declared he could not resist.

Borden Hartman, New York soci-

Mrs. Hartman, the only woman ev-

strike about two months ago in New
York before the trouble found its
way into print
Put Matter Before Wilson.
Mrs. Hartman came at once to the
President and placed the matter be-
fore him, laying emphasis on the fact
that the strike would tie up Eastern
commerce and might seriously dam
age the record of the Democratic ad-
ministration.
She also suggested that the Presi-
dent call a conference between the
railroad leaders and the representa-
tives of the employees This 1t was
thought not wise to do because of the
danger of charges of undue White
House influence"

Mrs Hartman then asked If the
President would be willing to su-
pervise the conference if she could
engineer it through the Civic Fedora
ton.
This President Wilson agreed to do
and when the strike was about to be
called he presided over the conference
and induced both sides to arbitrate

 The vote on the bill was postponed until today because of Bryan's ab- sence in San Francisco, but Progress sive leaders make no secret of their determination to pass it. Not only that, but the Democratic members, failing to amend the bill, will fall into line behind, despite Bryan's urging.
 Democrats Pledged to Bill.
 Assemblyman, w. c. Wall, who is secretary of the state Democratic committee, told Bryan frankly that the Democrats are pledged to anti land-owning legislation and are deter mined to vote for such a bill, even if our votes mean that brown feet shall trample Californias s soil to back up Japan's demands"
 The general feeling here is that it is now up to Washington"
 Secretary Bryan returned here from San Francisco Thursday morn ing and will remain until the alien sit uation is settled.

ernor will be presented ,n New ter sey today and Friday.
 Determined to check the efforts of one-time United States Senator James Smith, Jr., and hjs attorney, James R. Nugent, to defeat a measure which was an important feature of the plat form on which he himself was elect ed to the first political office he ever held, President Wilson will make three speeches in New Jersey in favor of jury reform and a constitutional convention.
 He will be supported by the present governor, James F. Fielder, and op- posed by the Smith-Nugent machine actively, and by the Republican and Progressive parties negatively.
 President Wilson has requested the members of the legislature to meet him in private conference i'll Jersey City Friday afternoon. At the Carteret club in that city he proposes to face the men who defeated his measures last winter and tell them precisely what he thinks of them.
 The present jury law !n New ter sey provides for the drawing of jury panelA-from which juries in all the county courts in civil and criminal cases are named-by the sheriff of the county, and also gives the sheriff control over the personnel of grand juries.
 President Wilson demands a manda- tory law providing for jury commis- sions in the counties, these commis- sions to draw ali panels and name the grand juries. the commissioners them selves to be named by the justices of the supreme court or the judges of the circuit court.

Inasmuch as the bill which will pass the California legislature Is reported by Secretary Bryan to be in accord with all exist ing treaties with Japan, it l.: not seen here how the Tokio government can object consistently to the enactment of this measure.

 Following a long executive session of the two houses of the legislature, Senator A. F.. Boynton, president pro tenn, hurriedly convened the senate, and within three minutes after Sec retary Bryan had departed for the ex- ecutive mansion, where he was Gov. Johnson's guest, substitute for the bill which President Wilson criticises was adopted unanimously. The sub- stitute is in no wise different from the original bill except as to phrase ology
 Bryan Acknowledges Failure.
 That the secretary had been de- feated was evident immediately after the executive session of the two houses. when Bryan said to several assemblymen:
 The president has done his duty as te saw it, and my task is practically ended"
 The statement was made after the new bill, drawn by Attorney-General Webb at the request of Gov. Johnson, lad been submitted to Bryan and after the legislators had declared they would debate this measure and pass it. It reiterates Californias right to exclude any aliens and has the same intent as the former bill but is phrased more carefully.

 The former bill provides that "aliens ineligible to citizenship can
