upon Secretary of State Bryan yesterday
and discussed the legislation now pending

EXPECTED
PROTESTS BY JAPANESE
Land Law Situation Is Given
Close Study by Secre-
tary Bryan.

SACRAMENTO, Cal. April 5.-The di-
rect protest of the Japanese to the State
Department at Washington against the
proposed alien law in California was not
unexpected by the leaders in the legisla-
ture who have been most active in sup
port of the bill.
Such action was predicted several
weeks ago by representatives of the
Panama-Pacific exposition, who told the
senate committee on judiciary that ad-
vices from Toxic received by the expo
sition directors showed the hostility with
which Japan would view such a law.
The governor stated today that he had
not yet received from Washington, amy
communication in the matter and had
taken no steps to check what appears
to be landslide in favor of the bill. He
said. however, that it was the plan to
draft a law that would be effective and
at the same time preserve the treaty
rights of Foreigners

SPENDING MONEY
Seward Jones Has the Finest
System.
He Saves Boy From Prison and
Gives Him Chance.

well. are you ready to take yonr
trial and start for the penitentiary?
This is the question that was asked of
Jason Curry, nineteen-year-old homo
sick youth. as he was led into the
sheriff's office from the general cell t
the county Jail Curry is the young fell
low who stole 800 from a farmer ana
made a Decline or the Rock Island de-
pot and bought a ticket to take him
back to his father. mother, and four
sisters and four brothers and sweet
heart at Winchester, Ky.
There was just a little trace of
CULVER in the fellows voice as he re-
Piled. Yes. sir; l guess 1 just as we'll
go to trial.
Seward Jones, of the printing firm Of
Burroughs Jones & Birch, was the per
son who had asked him if he were
ready to go to trial. Mr.. Jones was
there TO give the young Kentuckian
pleasant surprise. After letting him
think he was on the way to the peni-
Tertiary. he placed a railroad ticket in
his hand reading clear through to Win
chester, Ky. the boys home town.
Here's ticket to take you home to
that sweetheart of yours, and here's
some money to buy sandwiches on the
way. and your train leaves the Rock
Island depot at 1875 o'clock tonight"
explained Mr.. Jones. and along with
the railroad ticket and the money Nj.
Jones in a half-dozen sentences gave
lot of mighty good advice.
You are getting just the one chance
in a thousand to escape going to III
penitentiary. There is not one fellow
in a thousand who gets into a scraDe
like you did who does not go to prison.
Had the newspapers not called atten-
ton to your case, and then had no-
some one come to your assistance You
would be on the way to the peniten-
Afs,,- a re
low. and you appear to come from
folks who know how to work. Let this
be lesson to you and never steal
again"
Curry was too bewildered at the turn
of affairs to adequately express his
thanks. For a short time he could
scarcely say a word, but his looks ana
actions expressed his appreciation bet
ter than his words.
1T is not fair to yourself, your folks
nor your sweetheart for YOU to do VIVA
YOU did. You might have ruined your
life, and that girl would never have
anything to do with you after you haG
been in a penitentiary.' continued Mr..
Jones. Curry said he had learned his
lesson and would never again get into
trouble.
DO you not think some other fellow
has won your girl while you have been
away?' Curry was asked, but no re-
could shake his faith in his Kentucky
sweetheart.
The farmer from whom Curry stole
the money was willing to drop the pros
ecution of the case, after having re
ceived back the money which he lost
That was recovered by cashing the I'M
