UNITED PRESS LEASED wIRE.I ]

Sacramento, Cal, April 22,-Members
Of the senate discussed President Will
sons message today.
"We are not discriminating against
the Japanese, and we do not intend
to," said Senator Boynton, floor leader
for the progressives. "We are not do
ing anything that has not already been
done by other states, and there is no
reason to fear international complica-
tions from any act of this Legislature "
"President Wilson S message is eas,
lily answered." said Senator Thompson,
one of the trainers of the Birdsall bill.
"There is no discrimination on our
part, People who can come into this
country and assimilate with our people
are eligible to citizenship. Those who
are unable to do so are not eligible. We
cannot change this fundamental law,
and we are not attempting to.

Amendments Proposed.

Two important sets Of amendments to
the Birdsall anti-alien law will be of
fcred for the approval of the senate, as
soon as the Birdsall amendments come
back from the printer.
One set will be introduced by Sena-
tor Caminetti for the purpose of elimin-
ating the words "ineligible to citizen
ship" as requested by President Will
son.
These amendments, which are expect,
ed to have the support of the Democrats
in the senate, will permit foreign cor
porations to hold land merely by the
majority of stockholders "declaring
their intention of becoming citizens. u
This aims the bill at the japanese, with
out using the words which met with the
opposition of the president.
Shuts Out the Japs.
A second set of amendments will be
offered by Senator Thompson, who aid,
ed in framing the Birdsall bill. These
amendments will, it is declared, make
the measure apply to all aliens, as well
as to corporations, with respect to the
clause providing for the declaration of
intention of citizenship.
If thus amended, the bill will prohibit
japanese and Chinese from holding
lands in California, and allow all other
aliens to do so, merely by declaring
their intention of becoming citizens.
These are the principal amendments
that the senate will consider, and which
are expected to prolong the fight over
the bill
That an tnti.alien law will be passed
practically every senator admits, but in
what shape the law finally will be rat.
flied no one will predict.

Old Rome was famous for it's aaIe-

Stop Killing the Wild Birds.
Chicago Becord-lIernld.

From the Chicago Record Herald.
An attempt is being made by the New
York Geological Society to have incorpo-
rated i'm the new tariff law provision
forbidding the importation of feathers or
parts OF wild birds, except for scientific
or educational purposes. This would stop
the use Of plumes. feathers and skins or
many of the most beautiful and curious
birds Of the world as hat adornments.
and. consequently. the slaughter OF the
birds. which threatens the extinction OF
as in the case of the starvation of egret
nestlings through the slaughter of parent
birds.
In a circular supporting this proposed
law Director William I. Hornaday OF the
society says that in the last five years
the slaughter of birds for feather pur-
poses has reached a .arming proportions.
For five years the Royal Society for the
Protection Of Birds has been seeking an
act of parliament similar to that proposed
by Congress. The movement against the
use OF birds or their plumage for mil
linery purposes Is common to all civilized
nations.
Women. Of course, are the wearers of
bird plumage, and to their humane in
stincts the society makes a strong APP
peal. If the desired law is enacted there
will still be possible the use of ostrich
plumes and the feathers of domestic
fowls. The sympathy and support of hui
name, refined women ought to be with
the society's effort and both women and
men should ask members of Congress ~
enact the proposed law.

floating Farms.
From Harper's Weekly.

Like the wood merchants of northern
Russia, who carry their wood on great
RATS to Mimi Novgorod, Kazan and Az
trakan, the farmers of the upper and
central regions along the Yangtse kians
construct RATS covering as much as two
acres of surface. and on the RATS they
establish farms. where produce grows.
On these great floating farms are habiia-
tons for men and stables for the ant
mails, pigpens feed barns and storehonses
well stocked with provisions. The VOYAGE
to market Is often 1.Oso miles. and Ia ein-
ploy their time on the slow journey the
jewellers on the RATS make baskets and
many objects of household Use. Arrived AT
their destination. they sell their produce.
take apart and sell the RATS and return
to their homes by the ways used by ordi-
nary travellers.
