Sacramento, Cal, April 3O.-Possi-
bility of an amicable adjustment OF
the alien land controversy by means of
a new bill drawn in strict conformity
with the treaty between Japan and
the United States confronted last
night the third secret conference OF
Secretary Bryan with Governor john
son and the California legislature.
The conference was called for $3.50
o'clock.
Attorney General Webb drafted the
. new measure. At the suggestion OF
Gov. Johnson a copy was placed imme-
diately in the hands Of Sec. Bryan.
The term ineligible to citizenship"
which was declared by Mr.. Bryan to
be odous to Japan is not included and
Progressive-Republican leaders are
confident they have arrived at a so
luton of the problem that will receive
the endorsement of President Wilson
Secretary Bryan declined to COM
ment upon the new bill, except in the
conference. ~ aW
The principal features of the bill
are as follows:
l. All aliens eligible to citizenship
may acquire and hold land in the same
manner as citizens of the United
States.
2. All other aliens may acquire and
hold land "in the manner and to the
extent and for the purposes prescribed
by any treaty now. existing between
the government Of the United States
and the nation or country of which
such alien is a citizen or subject"
8. Corporations composed of aliens
other than those who are eligible to
citizenship may acquire and hold land
only according to other terms Of. the
existing treaties.
a. Present holdings of aliens, re
gardless Of their rights to citizenship
are protected.
s. The State specifically reserves
its sovereign right to enact any and al
laws relating to the acquisition ol
holdings of real property by aliens.
Attorney General Webb worked up
on the theory that there could be nj
objection to writing into the STATUE
the specific limitations of the japanese
treaty of 1911. Under the terms o
this treaty Japanese subjects are pei
(, mitted to own houses and lands TO
residential purposes, factories, mani
facturies and shops" according to MI
Webb. Another clause permits Japar
ese subjects to lease land for "res
Dental and commercial purposes.
These are the only stipulations mad
and it is the belief of the Attorne
General that the rights Of, Japanes
subjects to land ownership In tn
United States stop at this point.
Under his construction of the treat
no land can be owned or leased for al
ricultural purposes except that whio
Is already owned or for any other pu

Excitement Over Spirited
Contest Waging in Ma
tive Sons Hall Runs
High

Letter carriers from cities through
out more than SO pounds of mail on
any one trip If the resolution adopt
ed today by the National Association
of Letter Carriers. in session in Ma
tive Sons hall, is acted upon favor
ably by the general postoffice depart
ment
It was brought out in discussion
that oftentimes carriers had left the
postoffices with considerably more
than 100 pounds of mail. some of
them having long and tedious routes.
A Kansas City carrier said he knew
of men carrying as much as 13S
pounds of mail on several occasions.
The resolution provides that the
weight of a load of mall which the
carrier is permitted to take out for
delivery on any one trip must be lin
tied to 40 pounds in the residential
district and so pounds in the business
part of the city. A weight in excess
of this is considered by the delegates
as injurious to efficient service and
also to the health of the carriers.
High cost of living and better sala-
ries for carriers was discussed and a
resolution urging that steps be taken
for additional salary legislation was
adopted.
A petition will be presented urging
congress to make an appropriation
reimbursing the family OF any car
rier who may be killed or injured
while at his duties In the service.
Congressman Thomas Reilly. father
of the eight hour law, will address
the convention this afternoon.
Excitement is running high over the
fight for the 1915 convention. Dallas,
Tex, is making a spirited fight with
as delegates, backed by the Chamber
or Commerce of their city. They have
the Louisiana men whipped intoSline
and are backed by their entire state

COLOR BLINDNESS.
It Takes Some Peculiar Twists In the
Matter of Heredity.


Matter Of Heredity.
Professor Bateson in Iecturing be-
fore the Royal institution on "Heredity
Of Sex" related some curious facts
whichth Mad been discovered as the re-
suit Of examining several generations
Of family in which color blindness
appeared.
A color blind woman was very rare
~ found. and she was always the
daughter Of color blind man. Her
sons and daughters would be normal
and her sons families would be nor
NAL. but If her daughters had sons
theyswould be found to be normal and
color blind in equal numbers.
A curious anomaly With reference to
color blindness appeared in twin girls.
They were exactly alike in appearance,
but one girl was color blind and the
other not. No explanation Of this ex-
ception has been found.
Professor .Bateson said that there
was popular belief that sons in Ger.
tain respects took after their mothers
and daughters after their fathers
Within reasonable range Of speculs-
ton this was So. AS to sons taking
after their mothers. they saw this in
the experience of their own families

FIERCE ARAB DOGS.
Easy to Put the Big Brutes to Flight if
One Knows the Trick.

Easy to Put the Big Brutes to Flight if
One Knows the Trick.
The village dogs Of Arabia are real
danger to strangers, whom they attack
on sight without provocation. By
strangers mean any one except their
own immediate owners, whether ma
tives orlnot, writes Lady Ramsay in
the Sunday School Times. They fare.
as rule, great. powerful brutes. often
very handsome, extremely fierce and
capable Of defending the focks from
wolves and other; marauders. have
often been told that when attacked by
these ferocious animals the proper
thing to do is to- sit down quickly on
the ground, when they will at once de-
sist.
But for my part l never had the
courage to try this plan and had never
seen it done during all my years Of
travel till last year. We had stopped
to rest and eat our lunch in village
oda, and I was looking out from an
open balcony and saw an elderly Turk
coming along between some houses op-
posite.
Suddenly two huge dogs, barking fu-
riously. dashed at him from an open
gateway. Instantly he dropped to@the
ground in sitting position. For a
moment thought he had fallen and
expected to see the dogs on top Of
him. To my establishment they turned
and fed, their tails between their legs.
Before they could return. If they
would have done so. couple Of vii
layers appeared, helped the old fellow
to his feet and accompanied him out
