Gov. Johnson's response to Presi-
dent Wilson's telegram of appeal was
taken at the White House to be of a
friendly and reassuring nature. When
it was pointed out to officials that not
withstanding assurances that no
treaty obligations would be violated
Gov. Johnson had used in his tele-
gram the language relating to aliens
ineligible to citizenship" in fore
casting the kind of bill that would
be passed, there was no disposition to
regard the utterance as forecasting
the passage Of the assembly bill
containing that phraseology against
which Secretary Bryan in his first
telegram to Gov. Johnson had regis
tered strong protest
Later, however, news from Sacra-
mento indicating that the California
governor and legislators were bent
on passing a bill specifically exclud.
ing from ownership of land all aliens
ineligible to citizenship resulted in a
general air Of uncertainty with re-
spect to Developments in Sacramento
In the event a bill is passed over
the protest from Washington it has

ATTEMPT TO LYNCH negro,
MOB MAKES MILE EFFORT TO
TAKE NEGRO FROM JAIL.
Jailer Held and Door to Jail Battered
In But Mob Rapidly Dispcrses at
Coming OF Two Officers.

Florence, April 21.-A mild man.
nered and lady-like mob Of about 200
men went to the Jail last night to take
the negro, Herman Kelly, out and
hang him for his attack on the wife
Of a prominent citizen and her son
They were not hard to rout in
fact they seemed to have left a
trail that the police would have been
asleep if they had not taken up and
and Sergeant J. F. Turbeville single
handed so thoroughly routed them
from the jail that nothing has been
heard of them since.
The component parts Of the mob
seemed to think that it was incum-
Bent on them to make q demonstra-
tion and they did it. They went to
the jail about $50 o'clock, while peo-
pie were stirring in the city and got
the jailer Mr.. Bryant, and held him
in the yard, while the back door lead
ing into the Jail was battered in, it's
lock being broken. 1t is an ordinary
door, not opening into the cells at ALL
BY this time the police following them
had arrived and after a gentle bluff or
two the mob dispersed hurriedly.
This afternoon, in order to put
temptation out of the way of some
one who might be in earnest, Herman
Kelly and the Mcintosh boys were
taken from the Jail and carried to Co.
lumbia by automobile They were
tickled to death to get out of the Jail,
for they have been very badly scared
since the attempt was made on the
Jail. All of the prisoners in there
begged either to be put on the gang
or sent TO the penitentiary, but
there will be no further trouble.
The two victims of the murderous
assault are much better today.

OUTLINES HIS POL
johnson Gives Definite Vie,
ADMINISTRATORS Pl

Sacramento, Cal, Ap' -
Through the exchange Of ....a
today between President Wilson and
Gov. Johnson the settled policy of
the California administration on the
question Of alien land ownership, as
agreed upon last Sunday, was off,
cially made known.
Gov. Johnson and his party leaders
in the senate favor bill excluding
from land ownership in the State all
aliens ineligible to citizenship under
the laws Of the United States. Such
law probably will be passed in spite
of the objections from Washington, it
Is believed.
The assertion is made by the COVER
nor that a State law of this nature
would not be in contravention Of any
existing treaty right. He is upheld
in this view by the majority leaders in
the senate, who met with him today
and agreed upon the form of the
telegraphic reply to President Wilson S
message sent today.
Opposition to the administration
programme will come from the Demo
Gratis, aided by a few Republicans
who are opposed to anti-alien legisla-
ton Of any kind.
The Democrats viii seek to strike
out the words ineligible to citizen
ship in any bill considered, and on
this point the real fight on the meas
IRE will be waged
1t is not expected that the Thomp-
SON. Brdsall bill will be reached on
file until Thursday, and no action
can be taken until that time.
President Wilson's message today
called forth little comment The
Democratic minority already has tor
mulated its view largely in accord
ance With the Bryan message tha,
came last Saturday, and the Progress
sive Republican majority as shown b>
Gov. Johnson's response, declined &c
consider the presidents kilograms as
a demand upon the legislature to
;tact a particular kind of bin.
