anese situation further complicated by
the expected signing OF the anti-alien
land owning bill by Governor Johnson
of California, in connection with his
message of intention sent to Secre-
tary Bryan, will be considered at the
regular cabinet meeting tomorrow.
The Johnson message is in the,
hands of the state department and
copy has been sent to President Will

the absence Of Secretary Of State
Bryan in New York, where he went
on the midnight train, no action would
be taken until he returned.
The message from Governor John

of the state department have been
laid with that eyentuality in view. No
information of any kind regarding the
next move of the department was obs
tainable today. In fact 1t is intimated

kind until the bill is actually signed.
