Resolutions will be introduced in both

Drafting Such Law
Such law is being drafted tonight by
Senator Thompson. 1t will be known as
the alien land act and will apply solely
to members of foreign races described
in federal laws and judicial decisions as
ineligible to citizenship in the United
States
When Secretary Bryan arrives he will
be confronted with the new draft of the
bill and the question of whether 1t is
discriminatory Governor Johnson's view
on this point is set forth in his statement
as follows:
1.-THE nation has solemnly decided that
certain races, among them the japanese,
are not eligible to citizenship. The line
has been dra wn. not by California, but
by the United States. Discrimination, ii

GLASGOW, Scotland.-There was a
large attendance at the first demon
stration of the season at Holmes farm
Killmarnock, which is now used as
the West of Scotland agricultural sta
ton.
About 60 members of the British
Dairymaids association were present
who inspected the dairy school, poul1-
try department and dairy herd with
much interest. Professor Drummond
conducted the visitors through the
dairy school, and in the poultry sta
ton Miss Kinross gave a short ac-
count of the new scheme of intensive
poultry keeping, which is to be car
ried on there.
Principal Paterson of the West Of
Scotland Agricultural College gave an
account of the work done by the col
lege at their experimental station at
Holmes park. The farm extends to
about 200 acres, of which 25 acres are
set aside for purely experimental pur-
poses, in plots varying from a one
hundred and sixtieth part of an acre
to whole acre. There are 100 head
