and by City Commissioner James Wealth

he did not know now whether 1t was
d gathering of the progressive party of
social uplift workers, or an educational

Mr. Perkins classed the subject matter
of the great public questions now before
the American people into three divisions,
tariff trusts and corporations. He cited
various examples of government control
OF certain matters, such as pure food,
banks and railroads. and then urged the
Inconsistency of the statements that gov

Chinda Confers With Bryan

Viscount Chinda. the Japanese annbas-
sador. today had a long conference about
the situation with Secretary Bryan. The
Secretary had been keeping the ambas-
sador freely advised of the steps taken
by the federal government to preesrve the
treaty rights of the Japanese. As Secre-
tary Bryan knows the precise nature
of the Japanese objections to the pend
ing legislation, his recommendation to
Governor johnson is taken to indicate
that the Senate bill is in such form that
though not welcome it might at least be
tolerated by the Japanese government,
Secretary Bryan also was In confer
cnce during the afternoon with Larz An
derson, the retiring American ambassa-
dor to Japan, regarding the situation in
Toxic as he left it and the probable ex-
tent of the anti-American sentiment mani

BROTHER OF POPE
WS|TSPAT|ENT IN
THE SICK ROOM
Touching Scene When Two
Meet-P0ntiff's Condition
Continues to Improve
Steadily

Rome. April le.-The visit today Of the
pope's brother. Angelo Sarto, postmaster
of the village of Grazie, was one of the
tenderest episodes of the siclSroonl.
, There is a difference in age between them
of only one year, but Angelo, with his ro-
bust frame, seemed 10 years younger
than the pope, who appeared thin. Ian
guild and pale. The austere Marchiafava
who was present at the meeting declared
that the scene was so touching that his
own eyes were wet.
The presence of the members of his
family around him has inspired the pope
with new vigor and the bright sunshine
flooding his room this morning caused
him to exclain: "On such day as this
cannot imagine that anyone could be
! ILL.,
Reports of the pontiff's condition to-
night indicate that there has been no re-
currence of unfavorable symptoms. 1t is
pointed out that for four days practically
no fever has been present and that the
pope is suffering only from spells of
coughing which on occasions are some
what exhaustng. The bronchial affection
on the left side is diminishing.
Patient Still Weak
The patient, however, is weak and has
periods of depression. With increased
| ability to take nourishment it is hoped
that the popes strength will return and
that soon he will be considered out OF
danger.
Frequently during the height of his ill
ness the pulse ran above 100; it is now re-
ported to be from 20 to 70.
Rumors of various kinds continue to be
circulated and it has even been reported
that DR.. Marchiafava and DIR. Amici have
quarreled over the case. one report had
it that DR.. Amici insisted that the pope
should have last communion, but that
Or. Marchiafava opposed this to avoid
the shock which this might cause the pa
tient. This report is absurd, as the pope
has taken communion every day since his
illness began, so that in the words of the
pontiff himself: death will not find me
unprepared.

Distinct DISCRIMINATION

The telegram and other information
from official circles, indicated clearly that
the provisions in the assembly bill, by
which aliens "ineligible~to citizenship
would he prohibited from owning land
We're regarded here as a distinct discrimi-
nation against Japanese who at present
are denied the right of naturalization
The language of the Senate bin restrict
ing ownership of land to citizens OF the
United States "or aliens who have de-
clafed their intention of becoming citi-
zens.' is approved by the President as
he has discovered that this is the phras-
olosy of the statutes already in force
in New York, Delaware, Kansas. Mime
sofa, Kentucky, Washington. Missouri
and the District of Columbia. Incident
ally all these laws make it impossi-
BILE for Japanese TO own land until they
are able TO declare their intention of be-
coming citizens. A privilege which the
lower courts thus far have not given
them on the ground that they were not
'of white or African descent"
BY enacting q law similar to those in
force in several states, California would
not embarrass the federal governm mt
because no protest hitherto has been made
against the statutes and the whole prob
lem becomes one OF naturalization. II Is
not unlikely, however, that the Japanese
government viii now attempt to have
the question of naturalization pressed to
higher courts.

Secretary of State Assures Ambassa-

Consideration

Washington. April 19.-President Wilson
and Secretary Bryan. following the precs-

pending in California by which Japanese
would be prevented from owning land In
that state.
In telegram to Governor Johnson,
Secretary Bryan expressed the view of
President Wilson that the California as

iation of treaty obligations with Japan
while the senates measure as drawn
would not be objectionable. If alien land
legislation is to be enacted at ALL In
