MOTHER AND BABE DIE FROM
GAS FUMES IN HOTEL

The mother of a three-year-old
child, for whom she had spent all
but her last penny to buy a white
pique suit, white shoes and stock
ings, turned on the gas in their room
at the Commercial Hotel, 558 South
Wabash avenue, and was sitting in a
chair, dead, when the door was
forced open.
The baby, whose sunny DISPOSE
ton had won him the love of every
one in the hotel during the three days
he has been there, was lying on the
floor, still breathing, but he died be-
fore pulmotor could be obtained.
- The mother had registered as Mrs.
r. C. Dawson, Bellaire, but the marks
on her clothing indicate that she
came from Seattle. She was about
35 years old, slender and of medium
height. She had dark brown hair
and gray eyes, and the clothing of
both mother and child was expensive.
A guest of the hotel reported that
Mrs. Dawson had addressed a letter
several days ago to r. c. Dawson,
St. Louis, but does not remember the
address.
The inquest will be held today.

ANTI-ALIEN LAND-oWNING BILL
MAY PASS MONDAY

Sacramento, Cal, April 70
Action on the anti-alien land-owning
bill has been deferred until Monday
by the legislature, but the lawmakers
were flooded today with letters, some
condemning and others commencing
them for their attitude.
Californians generally seem to ap-
prove the proposed laws, the COM
plants coming from European cor
porations and Japanese. 1t is now
almost certain that in its final form
tho bill will exclude only Japanese,

assemblymen to pass it.

Toxic, April 19.-Japan has for
eign ownership law, passed in 1910,
similar in some respects to the pro-
posed alien land law now before the
California legislature. 1t has never
been strictly enforced, but will be put
in effect should the California bill be-
come law.
Despite rabid popular clamor, the
government and conservative news
papers take the view that war be-
tween the United States and Japan
is not possible. The newspapers are
ignoring the street demonstrations.
Washington, April 1e.-Agitation,
either at home or abroad, will not
move President Wilson into the adj
mission that there exists any reason
for a war scare over the Japanese
