SECRETARY REMAINS ON JOB

washington, April 3O.-Practical
| " all or today was devoted by Prei
| ident Wilson to consideration Of tn
situation arising from California
projected anti-alien land law.
The president was In telegraph
communication with Secretary Bry
an at Sacramento, CAL, and laid thu
entire subject before the cabinet q
a two-hour meeting. He also con
ferred during the day with JohI
Bassett Moore, the acting secretary
OF state, who in turn was visited By
viscount Chinda, the Japanese am
bassador.
No telegram from or to Secretary
Bryan was made public. 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 was the only impression
gained from those who had talked
with him about the question today.
AS. far as could be learned, the at
titude of the government still Is one
of hope that II an anti-alien bill is
passed at all, 1t will be along the
lines Of laws existing In New York,
Missouri, Minnesota and other states.
Sacramento, April 30.-How long
Secretary Bryan expects to remain
in Sacramento as the active oppon-
emit OF alien land legislation is the
question with which the majority
leaders in the California legislature

Secretary Bryan Is opposed to the
majority plan, but that his argue

Cannon's Poker Table Is Auctioned for $1,000

~ HE last material tie that bound Jo-
/ seph G. Cannon to the capital was
severed the other day when the fur
niture and furnishings Of the house
at 1914 Vernon avenue, where he
lived for many years, were sold under
the auctioneer's hammer. A few men,
bers of congress and a dozen promi-
nent society women present, but
most of those who made purchases
at the ~dismantling of the house where
history was made were dealers.
There was a number of relic and
souvenir hunters present. They got
busy, especially when the contents of
Mr.. Cannon's own room and the IL
brary were sold. The library has
seen many a hard-fought battle at
draw poker, at which game the Sage

VIZ ASHINGTON.-The new seating
w arrangement in the representa-
tives' hall suggests a Roman circus,
and the sittings of the house may
sometime furnish a Roman holiday.
The 435 members sit on benches ar
ranged in semi-circle, and rising in
steps to give all a clear view of the
arena in front of the speakers desk,
where the leaders in debate take their
places, and conduct the legislative
contests. This new arrangement may
conduce to mor orderly consideration
of legislation, and 1t may not. 1t will,
however, centralize the proceedings.
and if they become dramatic, with
physical contests, 1t will be easy to
confne the actors to the ring, and
give all the members a better view
than under the old arrangement.
Time has been when statesmen on
the hill used the old argument of
physical force and pugilistic skill, and
in most of these instances the dra-
matte features were married by the
lack Of proper rules to keep the con-
t~estants In the ring. They had a weak.
ness for fighting anywhere in the hall,
and with anything that was within
reach, and there have been a number
of such contests which were witnessed
by few Of the members because there
was no ring and no rules and no pro-
gram. There have been fights on the
