GOV. JOHNSON SAID TO BE TRY ING TO PUT PRESIDENT
 WILSON IN A HOLE.
STATE IS PLAYING POLITICS
Secretary of State Will Be Personal Guest of California Governor-Is Though to Sympathze With
 Desires of People.

Washington, April 25.-Secretary Bryan left Washington for Sacra- mento. He expects to arrive there at 4:45 Monday afternoon and at once will go into conference with Gov. Hiram w. Johnson and the Progress sive leaders of California on the sub- lect of the pending alien land laws that have excited Japan to the point of protest and have caused great un- easiness in Washington and through out the country The secretary re. ceiyed personal invitation to be the guest of Governor and Mrs. Johnson and he at once accepted it.
 Aside from this extraordinary de- velopment in the international "mis- understanding" the Japanese-Califor- nia situation is as follows:
 President Wilson regards the situa- tion as serious.
 Secretary of State Bryan takes the same view as does the president. He believes the relations between Japan and the United States, heretofore friendly, are in danger of being seri- ously strained.
 Japan's View of the Crisis.
 Viscount Chinda, the Japanese am bassador, called on the secretary of state and informed him that Japan re- garded the situation as serious. He told the secretary large element of the Japanese people are belligerent and are protesting against the present Japanese ministry.
 Only within the last few days has Gov. Johnson emerged from cover and declared himself in favor of some sort of anti-alien legislation. Early in the session he privately gave counsel and comfort to delegations from the San Francisco exposition management pro testing against even the introduction of such bills at this time on the ground that Japan would take revenge by refusing to participate in the big lair. Administration leaders were, called into conferences and efforts were made to postpone the matter for two years
 Gov. Johnson has abandoned all thought of stopping the anti-Japanese movement Roosevelt's telegram is un- derstood to contain an admonition against constitutional complications and to be many degrees milder than his previous expressions.
 But the people of the state want no advice from Roosevelt on the subject and the governor knows it. If John- son cannot hold the Progressives in line against hasty action, Roosevelt would be powerless, and any sugges- tions from the colonel are likely only to add fuel to the flames.
 Secretary of State Bryan will be re- ceived in a friendly spirit because there Is a deep-rooted conviction in the popular mind in this state that his sympathies are with the people in their desire to preserve their Cau- casian civilization, whatever he may conceive to be his duty just now. and, this being the case, the legislature and the governor hardly will dare to snub him.
 It is charged that Johnson and his lieutenants are plotting to so shape affairs that the Wilson administration will be put in a hole.' They will be satisfied entirely if Wilson is forced to take some such attitude as that of Roosevelt gonistic to ,s,t;forpio

CHAPTER XII.
In Which keziah Break. tho Newa

In Which keziah Breaks tho NewA
1t was nearly five o'clock, gray dawn
Of what was to be clear. beautiful
summer morning, when Keziah softly
lifted the latch and entered the par
sonage. All night she had been busy
at the Hammond tavern. Busy with
the doctor and the undertaken, who
had been called from his bed by young
Higgins; busy with Grace, soothing
her. comforting her as best she could.
and petting her as a mother might
pet a stricken child. The poor girl
was on the verge OF prostration, and
from hysterical spasms Of sobs and
weeping passed to stretches of silent,
dry-eyed agony which were harder to
witness and much more to be feared.
ut is all my fault" she repeated
over and over again. "All my fault!
killed him! I killed him, Aunt Ke.
Eiah! What shall do? Oh, why
couldn't i have died instead? 1t would
have been SO much better, better for
everybody"
DIR. Parker was very anxious.
"She must rest" he told Mrs. Cof.
I'm. She must. or her brain will give
way. I'm going to give her something
to make her sleep and you must get
her to take it."
So Keziah tried and, at last, Grace
did take the drug. In a little while
she was sleeping. uneasily and with
moans and sobbings. but sleeping, nev.
ertheless.
Now it's your turn, Keziah." said
the doctor. You go home now and
rest, yourself We don't need you any
more just now. Now you go home
You've had hard night, like the rest
OF u.s."
How hard he had no idea. And Ke
xiah, as she YEARLY entered the par
sonage, realized that the morning
would be perhaps the hardest of all
For upon her rested the responsibility
of seeing that the minister's secret
was kept. And she, and no other
must break the news to him.
The dining room was dark and
gloomy. She lighted the lamp. Then
she heard a door open and Ellery's
voice. as he called down the stairs.

She was startled. YES" she said
softly, after a moment. "Yes. Mr.. Ell

later Not one. You don't know what
you're talking about, Mrs Coffin"
Yes, l do. know well. And j

But he did not have to wait until
noon. At six o'clock. through the dew.
soaked grass of the yard, came the
Higgins boy For the first time in his
short life he had been awake all night
and he moved slowly.
The house keeper opened the door
Ike held up an envelope. clutched in
grimy hand.
Its for you. Mrs. Keziah," he said.
Oracle she sent it. There amt no

Mrs Coffin closed the door and tore
open the envelope. Within was ar.

ing, to Mr. Ellery. The housekeeper
entered the study, handed it to him
and turned away.

sumo Aunt Keziah has told you OF

Beneath was another paragraph.
Don't worry about me. l shall be
happy. am sure. And l shall hope
that you may be. l shall pray for

The note fell to the floor with a
rustic that sounded loud in the still
ness. Then Keziah heard the minis
ter's step. She turned. He was NOV.
ing slowly across the room.
John. what are you goin' to do?"
He shook his head II don't know"
he said. Go away somewhere, first
Of all. l guess. Go somewhere and
