SUNDAY CLOSING" BILL
House Passes Bill to Final Roll Cali
After Striking Out the Section
Dealing With Baseball.

OKLAHOMA CITY. May 3.-(Spe-
cial) )-The Oklahoma County grand
jury. which has been In session al
most continuously for the past six
weeks adjourned late Saturday night
after reporting eight new indictments
to Judge George w. Clark, in the dis
trict court.
The names of the persons against
whom the indictments have been re-
turned and the nature OF the charges
on which the indictments are based
were not made public, and probably
will not be until service is secured on
the accused persons.
Some Of the indictments | consid-
er to be of very great Importance"
was the only comment County Attor-
ney d. X. Pope would make on the
work of the grand jury. Mr.. Pope
would neither confirm nor deny the
rumor that certain members of the
legislature had been indicted. A smile
that indicated his complete r. rtisfac-
tion with the work of the jury was the
only response to the question of whe-
ther or not the indictments extended
to the legislature.
The passage to final roll call Of an
other 'closed Sunday" bill was the
chief event of a short and monoton-
GUS session of the house Saturday.
Many Members Absent.
Many of the house members went
home for the week end. and the long
fight in the house Friday over the
capitol appropriation had put most

light days work Saturday.
Upon motion by Speaker Maxey
that section of the bill which would
prohibit public sports was stricken
out. The speaker objected to 1t be-
cause 1t included baseball The bill
was recommended for passage.
A number OF lesser bills largely Of
special character. were advanced to
final roll call on motion, the most i'm
portant being a measure by Hunter

sherlffs, constables and peace officers
to enforce the fish and game pratec-

SACRAMENTO. Cal, May 3.-De-
feated finally in his diplomatic effort
to dissuade the California legislature
from enacting an alien land law, af-
fecting the japanese, Secretary of
State Bryan declared this afternoon
that he looked to the people of the
state to express a final judgment
through the referendum before the
act shall go into effect.
Mr.. Bryan's statement was made
before an open Joint meeting Of the
senate and assembly Immediately be-
fore his departure for Washington.
The assembly. which was even then in
the midst of its debate on the land
bill. passed last night by the senate,
paused for half an hour to hear him
and then took up its work OF follow
ing the senate's lead.
The procedure In the lower house
today was almost Identical with what
the administration leaders In the sem
ate adopted yesterday. On one side
the democrats offered substitute reso-
lutions and amendments, all seeking
TO delay action, and on the other
side, the progressive majority stood
firm in voting down every suggestion.
That the bill would pass tonight
was predicted by both sides 1t Will
then be In the hands of Governor
Johnson awaiting the signature that
shall make It law.
Apparently the only contingency
that can arise to prevent the carrying
out Of the bill's provision within ap-
proxlmately 90 days is the threatened
referendum petition which would re-
quire 10000 signatures before the
law could be temporarily nulllfled,
pending an election. The matter could
not be submitted to the people until
tho fall of 1914. delay Of nineteen
months, IN case the proposed referen-
dun petition gains enough signers.
Eearly in the session representa-
tives OF the board Of directors OF the
Panama Pacific exposition at San
Francisco gave notice to the legisla-
ture that the board would foster
movement to invoke the referendum
against any antl-allen land bill that
might be passed. Recently the expo
sition company has been joined by
several commercial and trade bodies
in the larger cities. who fear Japan
will levy reprisals upon California by
abrogating present business relation
ships.
