turned the fire and both men emptied
their weapons, each shooting blindly
through the curtains, which were per.
forated by dozen bullets. One
struck Shorts forehead, another went

Revised Alien Bill Passed
Today by California
Senate.
BRYAN ON THE GROUND
Secretary Is Still Hopeful That
Warning of Administration
Will Be Needed.

Washington. D. c., May 2.-Secre-
tary Bryan telegraphed he will re-
main at Sacramento until the alien
land legislation is concluded. Off
cials here infer the secretary still
hopes to influence the legislation in
accordance with the administrations
views.
Sacramento, Cal, May Am
amendment to the Webb redraft of
the anti-alien land bill permitting in
eligible aliens to lease agricultural
property for a period not exceeding
three years, was adopted by the sen
ate today by non-partisan vote. The
bill was then rushed to the printer.
1t is thought the new copy will be
back from the printer in time for a
final vote today.
An indication of the form the demo-
cratic opposition will take to the pas
sage of the Webb anti-alien bill was
given in the senate when the measure
came up for final action. 1t was the
original plan of the progressive ma
iority in its assurance of a success
ful issue to force the bill to a vote,
but at the request of the democrats a
postponement was granted.
LEADERS GET PLEDGES.
In return for the delay. the admin
istration leaders received a pledge
from the minority that it would abide
by the results as shown in the final
roll call. and not demand recon
sidsEatiQn. n.y----- -.
The brief debate on the motion to
postpone disclosed the fact that the
democrats have hearkened to the ad-
vice from Washington, as delivered
by Secretary of State Bryan, and will
make formal stand in support of the
national administration. In order to
meet the issue squarely, Senator Cur
tin in a resolution set forth the fact
that President Wilson is opposed to
an alien land bill and including the
/ following:
BE it resolved, That the state of
California do hereby defer to the
wishes of the president of the United
/ States, and this legislature will not
at this session pass the bills herein
mentioned"
/ 1t is generally believed that to the
extent of supporting Curtins resolu
/ tion the democrats will defer to Sec
retary Bryan. Beyond that, however
their party platform In California calls
upon them to aid in the enactment OF
an anti-alien land law, and most OF
them are expected to cast their votes
for the Webb bill in its present form
if it succeeds in escaping amendment
WORKS INDEPENDENTLY.
Senator Camenitte, democrat, work
ing independently of his colleagues, is
preparing several amendments to the

No apprehension was aroused by
the warning against the Webb bill
telegraphed to Governor Johnson anC
Attorney General Webb that regard
less of how the act was worded il
probably would involve an appeal tc

Wilson.
