Spirited Discussions at Assembly.

Atlanta, Ga, May 21.-Spirited dis
cussion which at times approached &C
rimonious debate, causes furries of
excitement at sessions of the three
Presbyterian assemblies. The North
ern assembly opened the day in a
turmoil resulting from the reproduc-
ton here of New York newspaper
story charging that DR.. J. T. Stones
election as moderator of that body
was brought about through "a deep
laid political scheme" No less excite
ment prevailed during the afternoon
session.

Cuban Aviator Lands on Water,

Havana, May 21.-Augustine Parla-
the Cuban aviator, who left Key West
in a hydroaeroplane in an attempt to
fly to Havana, alighted in the har-
Dor of Mariel, 40 miles west of Ha-
vana. During the trip he encountered
strong, adverse winds, as a result of
which he was driven off his course.
Finding that he was unable to make
the capital, he settled upon Mariel as
the most available landing place, and
came down on smooth water. His
machine was slightly damaged.

ALIEN LAND BILL
HAS BECOME LAW
WITH THE SIGNING BY GOVERN
OR JOHNSON MEASURE is
LOCALIZED.
NOT OPERATIVE FOR WEEKS
Meanwhile Referendum Is Sought
Theodore Bell, Prominent Demo-
crat, Heads the Move
ment.

Sacramento, Cal, May 21.-Califor.
MAS alien land bill, which was signed
Monday, is now the law of the state
against the protests of Japan and the
representations of President Wilson
and his personal envoy, Secretary OF
State Bryan. Ninety days after the
adjournment of the legislature, on
August 10, the act becomes operative.
Investigators Arrive.
While the governor was signing the
bill the steamship Korea was passing
through the Golden Gate bearing two
distinguished japanese, one former
pupil of President Wilson, on a mis-
sion of investigation.
Meanwhile, complications, national
and sectional, beset the bill. Over
shadowing all is the customs of the
negotiations now in progress between
interpreted the act as discriminatory
and offensive.
Within California itself, the act has
encountered triple hostility which
may delay it's activity until November
1, 1914. Democrats opposed state leg
islation at this time as a matter of
party regularity. Nevertheless, so
plain to them seems to be the demand
for the bill that, after eXhausting all
parliamentary tactics the senate gave
but one adverse Democratic vote and
the assembly but two.
Bell for Referendum.
AS an expression of this opposition,
Theodore Bell, late Democratic candi-
date for governor and former chair
man of the Democratic state central
committee, has issued an invitation to
his party to submit the issue to the
people by invoking the referendum
against the bill. He grounds his op-
position on two contentions-one that
the bill is insufficiently drastic be-
cause it permits leases running three
years; and, second, because at the
present it embarrasses the national
administration.
The Asiatic Exclusion league, an or
ganiZation of which the president is
Olaf A. Tveitmoe, recently convicted
of completely in the national dynamite
plot, originating in Indianapolis, an
nounced Sunday night that it would
invoke the referendum purely because
it opposes the bill as faint-hearted.
Thirdly, the powerful Panama. acif-
ic International Exposition company,
backed by many members of COM
merce, has placed itself on record in
opposition to the bill on the ground
that it is a violation of faith.
Directors of Exposition Oppose.
ANY action of the legislature" said
the directors of the company, "offen-
sive to any foreign country, their
pride as people, or their honor as
a nation, must challenge the good
faith of the commonwealth"
In reply to this threatened hostili-
ty, Governor Johnson said, in signing
the bill:
California for the first time in it's
history, has an anti-alien law. Any
man who wishes another kind of law
may consistently invoke the initiative
No man who really wishes an anti
allen law will sign the referendum as
ito this law.
IF another law is sought, it may be
presented by means of the initiative,
and in the meantime the present law
will be in operation"

Heritage of GLORY
O'Hara.

MEMORIAL DAY is an an
nual baptism of patriotism
that makes the heart throb
with pity for the tragic sacrifice
ofprecious lives in the awful strife
of so years ago. 1t was a titanic
struggle, a harvest of death on
blood-soaked battlefields in which
grim, determined men in blue and
in gray contended for mastery
with equal bravery and stubborn
courage. North and South, they
have left us heritage of deathless
glory, the example of men who
knew how to die for the cause
they believed to be right. 1t tested
the mettle of a world-conquering
race. Out of this gigantic conflict
the nation staggered, gasping, ex-
hausted, bleeding, but still one
people and under onef flag. Itgave
us Lincoln and Davis, Grant and
Lee, Sheridan and Forest to add
to the nations scroll of fame, and
it showed doubling world that
the young American republic had
bred race of men inspired by
ideals. They sleep we'll and nobly,
the men who did this work.

Gov. Ferris of Michigan said yes
terday that Michigan would care for
it's own strike troubles without inter
ference by federal authorities.
And in the same breath said he
would make no personal inVestiga-
ton of the shooting and deportation

Chicago has taken a long step in

This is the ordinance recently APP

made by an advertising employee of

If this ordinance will protect the
people from crooked newspapers and

the best things ever passed by the

But they came right back, one
bunch relieving another.
And they paid no more attention to
their dress suits than fireman would
to his uniform.
There wasn't any fake about it.

thing when it passed resolution for

HALT NAMING Of
ASPHALT EXPERT
Protests by Minority of County
Board Delay Appointment of
C. A. Proctor.

The county commission to-day is
awaiting the arrival of c. A. Proctor,
of Detroit, Mich, who has the open
Endorsement of three of the five mem
bers of the commission. for the ap-
pointment as asphalt expert at $4,000
a year. The new office would have been
created and Proctor elected to it to-
day had it not been for strong pro-
tests from General Anderson and Mr..
Waters, the minority in the commits
sion.
General Anderson made the state
ment in entering his objection, that
exclusive Of any additional expendi-
ture that might be made by the coun-
ty, it would be 100000 in debt by the
end Of the fiscal year, October l.
General Anderson said his protest
was based on the number Of new of
fees created since the first Of the year,
and an opinion the county had had
such varied experience with asphalt
and asphalt companies the commits
sion themselves should be considered
experts on the subject. This led to a
discussion of contracts let the previous
year and the merits of the materials.
Oppose Barber Contract.
General Anderson and Commissioner
Waters criticised the commission for
using the product Of the Barber AS
phalt Company. stating this company
had invariably been the highest bid
der and the material was not the best.
Chairman Shelby Smith explained
that the contracts had been let the
Barber people as an experiment to de-
termine If this paving were worth the
additional expense in point of durabil
ity and service. He said it had come
to his attention the county was pay
ing $3.50 for the same material coun-
ties and cities in the East were pur-
chasing for $25, plus the freight.
That he took the Barber company to
task about the matter and they had
frankly named him the same rate. writ
ing they were going to establish a
plant at Mobile and could then sell
the product in the South at $25 was
Mr.. Smiths assertion. He said the
freight added to this would make the
cost about $2S
Calls Their Product Dear.
General Anderson was on his feet
Immediately to say that, because the
Barber company would sell the product
for $25, it did not necessarily follow
they would be the lowest bidder. and
that when certain royalties were paid
for and an actual waste of one-third
of the material purchased, the Barber
product would be dear at even a lower
figure.
Especially So" he said, when it is
considered another firm will guarantee
the work to cost no more than 81 1-2
cents yard, and the Barber work will
come very nearly costing $1.25."
Commissioner Waters made a state
ment with reference to the Barber as
phalt that, when it was being prepared,
one-third of the amount of the ma
terial put in the boiling watts was re-
fuse and had to be thrown away, but
the county. nevertheless. had to pay
