PETITIONS AT CAPITOL

Petitions signed by $1,000 Oregon
school children, addressed to Presi.
dent Wilson, and asking that the battle
ship Oregon be the first vessel to go
through the Panama canal are today
in the hands of Superintendent of
Schools Alderman, and will be for
warded at once to Washington. The
petitions were sent to the school dis.
tricts by W. T. Reeves, of Echo, who
started the movement, and read as fol
lows:
"To President Woodrow Wilson, and
the Congress of the United States,
Washington, D. c.:
"Gentlemen: The incident of history
which, more than all others, impressed
America with the immediate need of an
inter-oceanic waterway at Panama, was
the famous voyage of the battleship Or.
egon. That marvellous race of a great
battleship around the continent to fight
the battles of an alien people, staggered
the world She is at once the most IA
nous famous and most loved vessel in
all the fleet of the great republic.
"Soon in that mighty canal, she so
much needed in 1898, will commingle
the waters of the oceans to float the
commerce of Christendom. 1t will be a
fit and gracious honor to designate the
battleship Oregon to lead the way,
Therefore, we, the school children
Of the commonwealth of the state Of
Oregon, whose name this floating fort.
ress so proudly bears, respectfully petit
tion that the battleship Oregon be the
first ship to pass through the canal
from ocean to ocean, leading a water
pageant more splendid than men have
seen before.'
Some objections were raised in let,
ters to the state superintendent, mum.
ber believing that a merchant vessel,
rather than warship, should be first
to pass through the canal. When it was
pointed out that Oregon has no mer.
chant vessel of any prominence of that
name, and that the battleship Oregon s
history entitled her to the honor it was
admitted that the plan was all right.
The petitions, if laid in line, would
reach from the postoffice to the state
house, and are three times as long as
the battleship Oregon. They are all
signed in the handwriting of the pupils.

JAPAN'S ATTITUDE
IS ONE OF WAITING
Is Not Considering Nor Has She Con-
sidered War Under Any Cir
cumstances.
UNITED pnnss 1rAsnp wrar.1


Washington, April Boa prominent
japanese, who is in position to know,
informed the United Press today that
Japan would make no further diplo.
matte representations to the United
States regarding its attitude until the
California alien land bill becomes a
law. He said the attitude of Japan is
most conciliatory, and that his country
has not made a single representation
to the United States which could be con.
strued as an ultimatum.
The Japanese government and the
embassy here, it is said, regret exceed.
ingly the jingo meetings held in Japan,
and the fiery speech made in the house
here by Congressman Sisson.
"Our attitude is one of waiting"
the japanese told the United States
"We are not considering war. When
the California land bill has been passed.
Japan will know definitely what its pro
visions are, and we will act then. That
does not mean that hostile action will
be taken, but most probably diplomatic
representations will end satisfactorily
to all concerned. "
ViscOunt Chinda, the Japanese am
bassador, refused to comment on the
situation.

BRYAN WELCOMED
IN SAN FRANCISCO
A Round of Banquets, Rides and Re.
views Is Planned for His En-
tertainment.

San Francisco, April 30.-Secretary
Of State William j, Bryan arrived here
today at 1880 O'Clock from Sacramen-
to, to be the guest, probably until mid
night of the Panama. Pacific exposition
directors, and, indirectly, the city of
San Francisco.
Urbane and smiling, Secretary Bryan
came off the ferry in the midst of a
group Of exposition leaders, who had
met him at Vallejo Junction, where
they disturbed him at work with David
Rose, his private secretary, over a big
heap of mail. The work had been
tackled by Bryan only after he had
taken long rest after the departure
of his train from Sacramento this morn
ing.
On the train the secretary was averse
to discuss anti.alien land legislation in
California, and made no statement Of
any kind on the action Of the Califor.
mia senate in hurriedly passing the first
reading Of the new administration last
midnight
On his arrival here Bryan was at
once hustled through a small crowd to
an automobile, in which, with Mayor
Rolph, he sped up Market street to a
round of banquets, rides and reviews
planned for his entertainment

Kicked by a Horse.

W. A. Taylor, a prominent citizen of
Shaw, Ore, is recovering from painful
injuries sustained rs the result of a
horse, which was being driven by Dep
uty Sheriff Needham, kicking him in
the side and on the left arm.
Deputy Needha mwas driving through
Shaw en- route to farm, where he was
to serve some legal papers last Monday,
when one Of the horses, a wicked brute,
began to pitch and lunge. The animal
got the other horse down, and when Mr.
Taylor ran up and offered assistance.
Mr.. Taylor attempted to hook them up
again, when the animal which caused
the trouble, kicked out viclously and
struck Mr.. Taylor in the side, breaking
a rib, and then fracturing his arm with
another kick DIR. j. N. Smith was
called Immediately, and the injured man
Is now recovering nicely.

Are All Pledged.

Wall lid told Bryan in no uncertain
terms that the Democrats, Of whom he
is one, were rigidly pledged to the en-
actment of the law which would pre-
vent Japanese from owning land or
holding it under long lease, ''just as 90
per cent of the men in this room, ire
spective of their affiliations, are
pledged"
The "fighting lines" on Bryan s face
set little closer, but he made no re-
ply.
t'I come from the delta lands, coun-
try infested with Japanese" he said,
addressing Bryan, "and I am telling
you plainly, as I believe you came here
to learn it, the attitude Of my people.
"You have come here in the same
manner in which Lincoln might have
sent his secretary of state to South
Carolina to ascertain the reason for
the attitude of the Southerners on the
question that led to secession.
Bigger Than Any Party.
"I believe you came to hear how we
in California feel on this matter, and
in that same spirit am giving it to you
bluntly."
In explaining why the great majori-
ty of the legislators were forced to
vote for a strong anti.alien law, Wall
answered Bryan's questions why, if the
Democratic party platform contained
such a pledge, more Democrats were
not elected.
Because" said the assemblyman
from Stockton, Democrats, Progress
sive Republicans and Socialists alike
were pledged to such legislation by per-
sonal pacts with their constituents, and
their replies were on record with the
anti.alien league. This is bigger than
any party matter. When it comes to
this, the people of California forget all
about politics and parties"

Contrary to a report published in the

gentleman in question was seen at the
Hotel Marion to-day and he declared
that If tho police were looking for him

to hold the man until an agent was sent
after him, providing, however, Hoy
would consent to return to Washington
without demanding extradition papers
from Governor Lister. Hoy refused to
return, telling Chief Shedeck that he Is
guilty of no unlawful acts either in
Washington or any other state, and the
chief promptly liberated him.
Hoy succeeded in securing advertise.

who, upon hearing of his arrest, called
at the station to inquire the truth Of
the matter Hoy promptly turned over
the money which was given him volun.
tarily by the contractors, and who ad.
mitted to the chief of police that the

upon N. d. Elliott this morning and
paid for a large job of printing which
will be turned over to the men with
