executing it he is animated solely by a

On hearing what Secretary McAdoo
had said. Mr.. Allies made the following
statement:
The National City Bank OF New York,

thorized Mr.. Allies to say that for many
years the bank has employed a clerk to

Sacramento, Cal. April 23.-ln view Of
the mission of Secretary Bryan. the Pro-
gressive Republican leaders have decided
TO stand squarely on what they term
President Wilson previous guarantee Of
their right to act. In parliamentary pro-
ceedings in which this policy was evolved
to-day the Progressives were denounced
repeatedly b. the Democrats for play
ing politics" IN the ant-alien legislation
and bringing 10 A crisis an issue they
previously opposed, simply 10 discredit
the national administration.
No further action will be taken on pro-
posed lien land laws until after the ar
rival of Secretary Bryan. This announce
ment was made tonight Immediately on
the receipt of formal notification of the
Secretarys purpose TO start from Wash
ington tomorrow.
Leaders of the Legislature said there
was no disposition TO act hastily and that
all were agreed il would be the part OF
courtesy 10 President Wilson 10 await
the arrival OF Mr.. Bryan bearing the
views OF the federal government before
the land bills were brought out on the
floor Of the Senate IL was stated that
the new amendments to the bill before the
Senate were in preparation. but would not
be made public until Mr.. Bryan had
viewed them.
Doubt was felt tonight as TO the proc
able course President Wilson would take
in instructing Secretary Bryan in view
of the two reservations contained in mes
sages sent to-day TO Washington rom
the Senate and Assembly.
The first of these is the frank declara-
ton in resolutions adopted by both houses
OF the Legislature that California re-
spectfully maintains the right OF the Leg
isature Of the state TO legislate on the
subject of land ownership within the
state"
The second reservation is negative ana
lies in the fact that no assurance is CIV
en- in the kilograms from the LEGISLATURE
or in a personal message sent by cover
nor Johnson that action will be deferred
until Mr. Bryan's arrival, as suggested
by President wilson.
