~ T.. y. r. ker. coal expert OF tho
United States Geological Survey-the
expert who sat on the famous Roose-
Welt anthracite strike commission OF
a dozen years ago.
Mr. Parker told me that Amcrtca'a

as great as the number OF tons being
produced in the country this year.
Counting in also the amount OF our
coat being wasted. his estimate Is that
our coal viii last 1000 years moro IL
production remains at the present an.
nual rate. But az matter of fact.
production is rapidly Increasing. He
thinks. however. that after reaching its
high water mark. some time between
the years 1850 and 1000. II will remain
for awhile fairly constant and then
gradually decline

ASKS GOVERNOR
NOT TO SIGN BILL
Secretary Bryan Wires John
son Of California.
TENSION NOT SO GREAT

Postponement Of Action on Pending
Measures Somewhat Relieves Stu
ation-PresIdent Wilson and secre-
tary Bryan Using Influence as PrI-
vate Citizens.
Washington, April 21.-Secretary
Bryan telegraphed to Governor John
son OF California, requesting him to
withhold his signature from any anti
alien land legislation passed by the
California legislature which might be
In violation of treaties between the
United States and Japan.
Secretary Bryan declined to make
public the text of his telegram The
impression prevails that IT was the
desire all around not to make public
its text in California until after it has
been presented to an executive ses-
sion of the legislature.
The postponement by the California
legislature of the alien land bills has
relieved the tension here slightly,
though every moment until the bills
are again taken up will be utilized
in exchange of messages between
Washington and Sacramento and 9TH
er points I'm California where influen-
tial officials reside who may be able
to exert some influence upon the
course of legislation at the state
capitol.
President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan make no secret of the fact that
though they are precluded from inter
fering officially they are privately ad-
dressing themselves to individuals to
get the amelioration of the features of
the pending bills offensive to the Jap
anese government.
While Mr.. Root was secretary of
state he prepared a memorandum
which related to the right of Japanese
in the United States to own land for
the use of agricultural purposes and
his opinion was adverse to the claim.
The failure of the Japanese govern
ment so far to issue a decree con-
firming the treaty right of Americans
who own land in Japan also may be
an important factor in the negotia-
tions which may be expected to fol-
low the enactment of the California
legislation.
