 ernment. He Says.

Sacramento, Cal. April 22.-Gover- nor Johnson sent the following reply today to President Wilson's telegram regarding the alien land bill:
 ITO the President. Washington, D. C.:
 Immediately on receipt of your tele- gram of this date 1t was transmitted to both houses of our legislature. think I may assure you that 1t is the desire of the majority of members of the leg islature to do nothing in the matter of alien land bills that will be embarrass- ing to our own government or offensive to anyone It iB the desire of the leg islators specifically to provide in any act that nothing therein shall be con strued as affecting or impairing any rights covered by treaty, although from the legal standpoint this is deem 1t will be general in character, relating to those who are ineligible to citizen ship, and the language employed will be that which precedent and sanction In statutes which now exist on the subject. I speak. I think. for the ma jority of the senate of California; cer- tainly I do for the vetoing power of the state, when I convey to you our purpose to cooperate fully and heart fly with the national government and do only that is admittedly within our province, without intended offense or inyidious discrimination.

 MT. Brown was examined through out the day by Louis D. Brandeis counsel for the Boston Fruit and Pro duce Exchange. The relations be- tween the New Haven road and the Pullman company were gone into when MT. Brown put in evidence q copy of the agreement between the New Haven and the Pullman company. It pro- vides that the Pullman company shall pay the New Haven road on an earn ing basis a minimum of $140,0 0G0 year ly. If the Pullman cars in service exceed 200 the Pullman company is to pay S700 yearly for each additional car.
 Bought New Haven Cars for S, 300, ,ooo.
 The Pullman company is entitled to all fares on parlor, chair and sleeping cars, with the exception of the $1 eE- tra fare charged on the so-called linn ited trains The Pullman company agrees to pay the railroad company @ fair cost for permitting certain ser vices in regard to repairs and the ex- penses of heating. lighting watering and Iubricating these cars.
 The parlor, chair and sleeping cara belonging to the New Haven road were purchased by the Pullman com pany for $3.300, 900.

 He recl1oned the expense due to in terest charges. to depreciation, to heating, lighting, watering and lubrt- eating the cars and finally announced his conclusions that the New Haven company had incurred an annual loss of $407.o0o by turning over it's. par 1or chair and sleeping car service to the Pullman company.

DEBATE ON TARIFF
 IN THE HOUSE TODAY
Senate Finance Comnittee Will Give
 No Public Hearings.

Washington, April 22.-By a strict party vote the senate finance commit tee today decided finally that no pub lie hearings will be given upon the tariff bill when it reaches the senate. Interested persons may. howver. fiFe briefs or statements with the commit tee bearing on any of the tariff sched- ules.
 This decision is expected materially to shorten the time in getting the tariff bill before the senate for con sideration. Tariff debate opens in the house at Il o'clock tomorrow and in the hope that general debate can be limited to five days, Democratic lead CT Underwood will attempt to hold the house to 12 hours of continuous work daily. Another week of consideration under the rule permitting amendments will send the bill to the senate soon after May 3. it is believed.
 The tariff bill came back to the house today from the ways and means committee with a vigorous supporting report from the democrats on the com mittee and an opposing report from the republican members.
 The general debate that begins to- morrow will be followed by concerted efforts on the part of the republicans in the house to amend the bill in all it's important schedules.

NIGHT SESSIONS.
Senator Landers to Introduce a Mo-
 ton for Them.

Hartford, Conn, April 22-The gen. eral assembly today put in it's hardest days work of the session, the mem bers getting a taste of tn labor which will be it's lot from now on. Scores of important matters are pressing for con- slderauon, and the need of both after noon and evening sessions was pressed in the senate. The latter body decided to give consideration tomorrow and Thursday to favorable reports and cal endar matters, leaving all unfavorable reports, unless there is some reason for disposal on Friday.
 Motion for Night Sessions.
 In the senate Senator Landers of the Sixth district will tomorrow in- troduce motion calling for night session Wednesday, night If the sen ate can clean up it's calendar and table matters Thursday night in a like manner. Mr. Landers says there will be no necessity for Friday sessions.
 A New Sunday Bill Drawn.
 The Purcell bin, or sefsate bill Ne. 1, on Sunday will be taken up in the sen- ate tomorrow, together with another bill which would permit the holding of Sunday concerts in parks and amateur Pecfeatfve sports on Sunday afternoons under direction of park authorities. As 1t has been thought likely that the Purcell bill is unconstitutional and that the Gross bill is open to criticism, the judiciary committee has drawn 8 new Sunday bill based on the Gross bill, permitting municipal concerts OH Sum- days in parks, with some contingent features which will be offered as a substitute.
