The story goes this way: Mrs

was loaded in a car for Chicago, and
which left Sanford May 5, in Pacific

Wilson Cables Sympathy.

Washington, May 23.-When news
of the sudden illness of the Emperor
of Japan reached Washington yester-
day President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan expressed deep concern. Charge
Bailty-Blanchard of the American en-
bassy at Toxic. was cabled Immediate
ly to convey a message of sympathy
to the Japanese government and Presi-
dent Wilson sent personal message
to the Emperor.
1t is regarded here as possible that
the Bmperor's illness may have the eff.
feet of delaying negotiations in pro-
gress regarding the California land
law.
There were no developments yes
terday in the negotiations either at
the State Department or the Japanese
embassy, the attitude being one of
waiting for the next word from Toxic.
1t was learned that up to the pres
ent stage no formal suggestion has
come from Japan that the American
naturalization laws should be amend
ed so as to admit japanese to citizen
ship in the United States.
Records Of the State Department
fail to show that such a request ever
has been made by any other country.
Officials here insist that the status of
citizenship may be conferred by the
state upon any individual or class It
pleases and that it is something that
may not be demanded as right Fur
ther, it was pointed out that the Unit
ed States had entered into no naturali-
cation treaties designed to benefit
Americans resident in other countries.
President Wilson cabled to the EN-
peror of Japan which was dispatched
late yesterday, as follows:
Reports received through press
agencies are current to the effect that
your majesty is indisposed. l have
heard these reports with sorrow and
with great concern. Should they prove
to be true, desire to offer to your ma
iesty for myself and for the govern
ment and people of the United States
the assurance of my sincere sympathy
and to express the ardent hope that
your illness may prove to be of brief
duration, and your recovery rapid and
complete"

Sisson Makes
Speech Against
Alien Labor
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, May 23.-Representa-
tive Sisson of Mississippi, made his
announced Japanese speech today in
the House. He disclaimed any inten-
tion of making war speech" but
attacked the position that the treaty
making power superseded the law-mak-
ing powers of sovereign states. Mr..
Sisson declared that he took his posi-
tion not because japanese are in
volved," that he would take it toward
any other nation.
''If any nation" he said, should de-
eide that they would dictate to us our
land law, then we would be unworthy
of our national existence If we sub
mitted to such dictation." 1t is no
declaration of war for the United
States government to decline to over
ride the rights of sovereign state at
the dictation of foreign powers. What
would become of the American farmer
if great corporations of the country
should buy up all the best lands and
cultivate them with Monaghan, Chi.
nese, Hindo, Japanese and other cheap
alien labor?"
1T is CALIFORNIA; individuals and
corporations owning great tracts OF
land and using alien labor he con
cluded, "who are opposed to all restric
tions upon labor importation into this

calmly at his questioner for a moment
and replied:
"Yes, it looks like we are going to
have a good corn crop in Mississippi
this year-perhaps better than last
year, if weather conditions are ordi-
narily favorable, and We have neither
a drouth or too much rain. The stands
are very good in all sections except
where the farmers planted too early

time"

anger.
Dunbar said that Governor Brewers
position was past understanding to
him. He said that it seems, according
to Brewers statement, that if Mrs.
Bilbo declares the boy is not Bruce
Anderson, he will grant the requisi-
tion of Governor Hall, but that If she
says 1t is the Anderson boy he will
turn Walters loose. 'It is cold deal
for me and am not going to play 1t

In reply to the question why he per-
sists in searching for the Anderson

found his own son, he said he
wants to convince everybody that the
boy he has is Bobbie and then maybe
Governor Brewer will allow Walters
to be carried back to Louisiana for
trial. 'If Walters is released l would
be in constant danger with that man at

the sanitary regulations promulgated
by the tate board of health must be
complied with. 1t is learned, however,
that in the enforcement of this law
the purpose is not to bring the law
into disrepute by going to such radical
extremities as to make it so prohibi-
tive that housekeeper or farmer with
one or two COWS may not sell to his
neighbor the surplus milk not needed
by his family for their own use. There
has been no rule published by the state
board OF health defining a dairy in the
meaning of the law. but such a rule
is soon expected as a result of a re.
