The rigid enforcement of the ordinance
which went into effect last Monday,
prohibiting dogs from running at large
without muzzles, has had the effect of
filling the police court with cases Of
violations of the act. Policeman Kern,
who is in charge of the crusade against
the unmuzzled CANNES, has had con-
siderable trouble with dog owners, who
objected to his seizure of their pcts'
and has been compelled to make num-
ber of arrests. He has been upheld in
his action by Police Justice Cation, who
has imposed fines upon those who were
brought into court.
Several cases were disposed of in this
way today. Up to the present time $40
has been collected in fines from dog
owners. All of the dogs which have
been seized will be killed tomorrow
morning.

ANTI-JAPANESE ACT
Is SLATED TO PASS
Little Opposition To Webb Bill Expected-Measure Is Be-
leved to Be Most Drastic That Has Been Offered and
Shuts Out Orientals Completely

Sacramento. CAL, April 30.-The anti-alien
6ght seems practically over. so far a, Cali
fornia Is concerned. The Webb bill has been
given q clear right of way In the Senate.
where it comes up tomorrow morning, and
undoubtedly viii be passed with small OPP
position.
Act IL Strongest Offered
In comparison with various drafts that pre-
ceded IL, the Webb Act Is said TO be more
drastic and effective in reaching the Japanese
farmers of the State than any other form, and
at the same time least Objectionable Of all from
ali international point Of view.
Senator Thompson denied that the wording
of the Act, or any part Of it, can be taken IS .
concession to the objections Of Secretary
Bryan.
'It is altogether probable that we would
have reached this form of bill In any case"
said Senator Thompson. land it cannot fairly
be said that the draft prepared by Attorney
General Webb reflects any of the sentiments
Of Mr.. Bryan except his desire that we do not
offend anyone, and that. of course. has been
our guiding principle from the beginning. At
no time nave We had q wish to offend the
people Of any nation, and our desire to avoid
the words ineligible to citizenship has been
quite as strong as that of the Federal admin
istration.
'These words are not used in the Webb
bill, but 1 do not hesitate to say that the eff
feet and result is precisely the same as If they
were included. and it will be SO understood.
There was no way to avoid IT,"
VIII Wipe Out Colonies
A close study of the Webb bill shows the
extent Of the restrictions placed upon aliens
who are not permitted to become citizens al
though the limitations are precisely those that
are imposed in the existing treaties bet ween
United States and Japan. China and other
nations whose subjects are ineligible.
In the case of the Japanese they are pro-
hibited entirely from acquiring or holding land
for farming or agricultural purposes. and 1t Is
declared that the passage of the act win put
an end. not only to the growth of Japanese
farming colonies, but eventually to the colon
les themselves.
This purpose of the act is effected in two
ways:
lon the death of an alien landowner, the
bill provides that his ownership ceases and
that the property must be taken over by the
probate court and sold to the highest bidder.
Under its terms an alien cannot bequeath real
The Eureka sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1902-current, 1913-05-03

property except to a citizen. The proceeds
from the sale Of such land are distributed to
the heirs by the court.
2-No leases whatsoever are permitted.
Originally IL was planned to permit leases
covering a maximum period OF three to i've
years. but the Webb Act denies this oppor.
tunity for colonization by aliens and provides
that any lease Of agricultural lands 10 subject
to escheat to the State on the day il is begun.
State WM Get Share
To make number two more effective. the
bill provides that when suit is begun to es-
cheat such leases the court shall appraise the
lease, sell the property at . forced sale and
pay the value Of the lease into the State. The
remainder Of the proceeds goes to the citizen
owner Of the land. It Is held that this section
of the Act will be absolutely prohibitory upon
all leases Of agricultural lands for any pur-
pose.
Briefly, according to Senator Thompson,
who has made q thorough study Of the bill, the
theory is as follows:
'Only citizens and those eligible to become
citizens may be proprietors of land" said
Thompson. ''They may employ Japanese
and Chinese If they desire, but they cannot
lease or otherwise give such aliens an interest
or share in their proprietorship."
