low rocker, valance for the top of
her window with side curtains just to

PASS ALIEN BILL
IN BOTH HOUSES
caIifornians Hear Bryan in Final
Plea.
REFERENDUM MAY BE USED
Secretary of State Demands That
Webb Measure Be Submitted to
People for vote-NoW Up
to Governor.

Sacramento, Cal, May 6.-The Cali.
fornia anti-alien land holding act,
which passed both houses of the leg
islature within twenty-four hours, at
ter bringing about one Of the most
unusual situations in the history OF
the nation, will lie on Governor John
sons desk without his signature until
Secretary of State Bryan can confer
with President Wilson in Washington.
Only three votes were cast against
the measure in the lower house, one
Democrat and two Republican MEM
bers opposing the bill on the final pas
sage. The roll call was held less than
twenty-four hours after the final pas
sage of the act in the senate.
Secretary of State Bryan concluded
his mission to the governor and leg
islature of California with message
of farewell.
In summing up, Secretary Bryan
rehearsed the objections and sugges-
tions of the president, already made
public, and concluded:
You are fortunate in this state in
having the initiative and referendum.
The initiative spurs you on to do that
which you believe your people want
done, while the referendum empowers
those for whom you speak to put their
veto upon your acts if you fail to re-
fleet their wishes. 1t may be assumed,
therefore, that if you feel it your duty
to enact any legislation on this sub
ject at this time your people will
either manifest their approval by &C.
quiescence or their disapprova1 by
submitting your action to the judg-
ment of the voters by means of the
referendum.
Il leave you with renewed assur-
ances of the presidents friendly con-
Germ in the subject with which you
are dealing and my appreciation of
the kind reception which you have &C.
corded me as his spokesman"

not interested in his wife's concerns
in any way, that they no longer have
anything in common, that any pre-

born in 1910 is ridiculous and false,

had been born abroad less than a
year after the time Thaw was at
White Plains fighting for his liberty.
