SACRAMENTO, Cal, April 16.-The
anti-alien bill, the object of which is
to make impossible the ownership of
land in California by aliens or by those
who have not declared their intention
of becoming citizens of the United
States, was passed by the Assembly
yesterday afternoon by vote of so to
16. Four attempts were made to
amend the bill and all We're voted
down.
After two hours had been spent in
debating proposed amendments the
bill went to a roll call without word
of argument. The measure was draft
ed by subcommittee of the Judiciary
Committee as a substitute for bills
previously introduced, all of which
specifically provided that "aliens in
eligible to citizenship should not hold
lands"
The committee, however, proceeded
on the theory that such statute
might be held in violation of the trea-
ty rights of Japanese subjects, and
broadened the measure to include all
aliens who had not declared their in
tention of becoming citizens. In order
not to embarrass foreign corporations
the committee did make the corpora
tton clause of the bill. Section s, ap-
ply ''only to aliens not eligible to cit
izenship.'

JOSEPH MARTIN IS

aire Still Held a Prisoner
BY His Captors.

LONDON, April 16.-After thirteen
days of finetooth-comb searching on
the continent, Joseph Wilberforce
Martin, the Memphis, Tenn, million.
aire who disappeared mysteriously in
this city, has not yet been traced to
the last spot in which his captors Sc
creted him when detectives got on
their trail in Lambeth yesterday, al
though Detective w. J. Burns believes
he will be located soon.
There was great excitement early to.
day in the neighborhood of Piccadilly
when the police raided two resorts and
arrested fifty gamblers on the theory
that some of them may have been con-
nected with Martins disappearance or
may have some knowledge of it.
Scotland ard sleuths are trailing a
woman known as Baby Ruth who
from her record may possibly have
some connection with the case, it was
alleged. Baby Ruth was booked to
sail for New York today and it was
reported that there might be sensa
tional development before the boat de-
parts.
Both the private and public detect
ives are convinced that a woman is i'm
plicated in the disappearance of the
rich American and both squads are
working along this line
The Lambeth and Kensington dis
tricts of London are swarming with
detectives, searching for the house
where Martin is said to be held capt
i've by band of kidnappers
According to a well established the
ory, Martin was decoyed by a band OF
card sharps whose members are
known to the international police
The Arkansas land deal which Martin
put through on the eve of his strange
disappearance involved S6,O0O.0 Mr.
Martin was said to have large sum
of ready cash in his pockets when he
dropped out of sight

! to employ Sherlock Holmes methods
of deduction from the known facts

suggestion has been to Lockhart And
erson. the English friend of Mr.. Mar
tin that he lay the facts before A
Conan Doyle, the creator of Sherlock

running down the kidnapping band.

Death Is Favored.

WASHINGTON, April 16.-Men of
judgment have expressed the belief
that proposition to make all estates
over one hundred thousand dollars re-
vert to the state upon the death of the
owner would be carried by vote of
2 to /, declared Vice President Mar
shall in a statement issued here elab-
Grating his speech made in New York
last Saturday night. His leading points
follow:
Men are asking whether there is
any difference between manufacturers
who come to the government asking
for help in his business and the poor
man who goes to the workhouse to ask
for the help.
"The question is being asked why
the government should be expected to
guarantee profits to the manufacturer
when it does not guarantee the differ
ence in the cost of food at home and
abroad to the consumer with an extra
dollar for a rainy day.
There was a time in England when
children were born not as good citi-
Zens but as cogs in a machine, fed, as
it were, to the mills and factories. 1t
was a somewhat similar condition that
produce Rousseau in France and it
was Rousseau's writings that brought
about the revolution.
Il would go down into ditch to
shake the hand of a poor man, but
would also be glad to shake the hand
of a rich man. We are all brothers."

exceed 1900 pounds when completely
equipped Brown and Law will sleep

. (Nationa1 News Association


CHICAGO, April 16.-George Dietz,

This information came to the police
today in a confession said to have
been made by one of several men now

gedy. The arrests that have been made

both before and after the murder.
Two of the men now under arrest are
George Ringler, Jr., sweetheart of Ed
ma Fredrickson, victim of an alleged
operation. and George Nurnberg, har-
ness maker.
The conspiracy as revealed by the
detective is as follows:
Dietz and another man were rivals
for the affections of woman. The
other man was successful in winning
the woman's love. The other man and
the woman entered into a conspiracy
to kill Dietz and their plan was car
ried out successfully. Dietz was slain
with hammer while he slept.
Before the tragedysa second woman
had entered the case. She was in love
with the other man. She employed a
detective who learned that the other
man and the first woman in the case
met frequently, even as late as last
Saturday. After Dietz was slain the
man was arrested and following sever
al hours of questioning broke down and
confessed.
The funeral of Dietz was held this
afternoon and following the services
the arrest of the woman was promised.

President Has Decided Not
to Interfere in California
Question Because Of Sen
y ate's Rights.
HOLDS CONFERENCE
, ON THIS QUESTION
Executive Prefers a Diplo-
matte Clash With Japan
Rather Than Interfere in
the Case Involved.
(National News AssociationD


WASHINGTON, April 16.-The
Japanese protest against the passage
of the California alien land law de-
livered to the president by Ambassa-
dor Chinda formed the principal topic
of discussion at the white house to-
day.
Immediately after breakfast Secre-
tary of State Bryan called and follow
ing him in quick succession came Sec
retary of Interior Lane, a native of
California, Secretary Houston and
Senator Works of California.
With all of these the President con-
sidered the phases of the situation.
There will be no definite action by the
white house on the alien land bill un-
til the measure has passed both
houses of the California legislature
and has been signed by Governor
johnson.
The administration believes that the
statement to the Japanese ambassa-
dor, which declares that the federal
government cannot interfere in state s
rights questions will lead to a diplo-
matte clash between Japan and the
United States, but regards this pre-
ferable to an infringement on the old
doctrine of states rights.
