PROTESTS ALIEN LAND LAW
Japan Objects to Proposed California
Measure.

Washington, April 5.-The Japanese
government has lodged formal pro-
test with the state department against
the proposed enactment by the state
of California of what it considers anti
Japanese legislation, the measure pro-
hibiting the alien ownership of land
in California.
1t was learned that this protest was
made nearly a fortnight ago. Secre-
tary Bryan and Viscount Chinda, the
Japanese ambassador, were closeted
for half hour at the state depart
ment in a private conference, the sub
ject of which neither would discuss.
1t is known that Secretary Bryan
is giving close attention to this deli
cate subject, studying carefully the
history of the negotiations that took
place between Secretary Root and
Baron Takahira during the Roosevelt
administration, when a severe strain
was placed upon the relations be-
tween America and Japan by the at
tempt of the California authorities to
exclude Japanese children from the
public schools.
The next step may be communi-
cation from the secretary of state to
the governor of California calling his
attention to the international ques-
tons involved in the proposed action
of the legislature.

CONTINUE CAMPAIGN
OF RETALIATION
Destroy Another Large Country
House by Fire.

London. April 5.-The suffragettes.
continuing their campaign of retalia-
ton against the sentencing OF Mrs.
Emmeline Pankhurst. their leader. to
a term of imprisonment succeeded in
destroying another large country house
by fire.
AS in several previous cases of the
kind the residence. which was situat-
ed at Chorleywood, Buckinghamshire.
was unoccupied. but was being pre-
pared for the reception of a tenant.
The owners of the building estimate
their loss at 800.
Cards bearing the inscription votes

toes were found in the grounds. No
arrests were made.
The police believe that some of the
recent criminal acts attributed to the
suffragettes, principally the attempts
to destroy railway property, were the
work of men employed by the women

MEASURE LIMITS SENATORS
Constitutional Amendment May Go Be-
fore People Again.

ST Paul, April 5.-The senate again
voted to submit to the people at the
next election the proposed constitu-
tional amendment limiting representa-
ton in the senate from any one coun-
ty to seven senators. This was turned
down by the voters at the last cleo
ton. The bill went through the SEN
go to the house.
With many votes to spare the house
passed the bill by Ernest Lundeen and
Victor Sundberg regulating and licens-
ing public dance halls. The measure
gives local police authorities conpre-
hensive powers in dealing with such
places. The sale of liquor in dance
halls is forbidden and the bill pro-
hibits the location of rooming houses
in the same building with dance halls.
Local governing bodies are given au-
thority to prescribe license regula-
tons
Representative A. G. Finke's day
light closing bill was defeated in the
house by a vote of 60 to 80. Recon
sideration of the measure likewise was
voted down and the bill cannot be
brought up again at this session in
the lower branch.
The Lindberg temperance bill pro-
hibiting the soliciting of liquor orders
in unlicensed territory passed the
house by vote of 62 to 81.

Rider.
The execution done, however, did
not bear out these assertions of
physical incapacity on either side,
though Fullerton has been walking
with a cane and with his back in a
brace ever since he was injured in
a train wreck six months ago at Hib-
bling.
The fight grew out of the present
Investigation by the house into the
game and fish department. Fullerton
formerly held Riders job, but was
ousted some years ago. He then tried
to get place as superintendent of
the Glenwood hatchery, but was turn
ed down by the board. There has
been bad feeling between the two men
ever since.
Rider says he will complain to Gov
ernor Eberhart today. The governor
would not comment on the fight last
night, and said he has no present
intention of making an investigation.
Fullerton has something of pugi-
listic record. During the campaign
of 1904 he hit Robert c. Dunn, re-
publican nominee for governor, while
Dunn was in a Brainerd hotel. Three
years ago he attacked Simon Niche
let, former White Earth Indian agent,
in the corridor of the capitol. He was
then in the employ of the fire mar
shall.

Poor Coney Island is TO be reform
ed again. Not by the missionaries
and the sober-garbed lotteries of mel:
and women. who stand ON the corners
and sing hymns, deliver addresses
and pass the hat around. But Coney
is going to be reformed by business
men whose idea it is to introduce
amusement features of a high class
throughout the season, Joined with
special features from time to time.
They are also working to improve
the appearance of the resort in dec
orations and other ways. All of
this is 10 take place before the form
al opening next month. 1t has been
decided to open the Island earlier
than usual this season and to put
this through there will be three
days Spring Carnival, running from
May ID through May II. This will
not resemble the Mardi Gras, to
which many of the Islands business
men are opposed on account of fea-
lures that aroused criticism. 1t is
planned to make Surf avenue a
Great White Way by stringing cleo
trio lights across the street which
will probably be kept in position all
the year round. There will be floral
and other decorations and music.
Aeroplane flights, baby shows, swim
ming contests and competitions of
other kinds will be weekly events in
different parts of the resort.
The change in the attitude of pub
lie sentiment toward DR.. Friedman,
the German specialist on tuberculo-
sis, has been remarkable. When he
first arrived in New York he was re-
garded with extreme skepticism, if
not suspicion He has worked under
great difficulty and constant criti-
cism, but physicians VINO have been
following his treatment which he
claims positively cures tuberculosis
declare hat he has won greater con-
fidence by his persistence than he
could have accomplished by answer
ing the attacks against him. 1t
seems to be the general opinion that
one who had not faith in his rene
dies would not have continued their
use so persistently So New York
and the government of the United
States may, after all, accept DR..
Friedman for what his friends say
he is worth, with proportionate es,

New York, April 1.-Two tons of
improper books and pictures were
seized by special agents of the de-

street tenement house. The raid also
resulted in the arrest of Camille
Nicholas, charged With being prin-

country.
The government agents said that
the place for several years had been

of these books and pictures.
To evade punishment under the pos
tai laws the distributors used the ex-
press companies, but a recent amend
ment of the interstate commerce law
made them amenable to government
