Japanese-American treaties. 1t is point
ed out that the restrictions of the meas
ure relating to the right TO own or
lease land in California are virtually
the same as are imposed by the Jap
anese treaty.
Japanese and other ineligible aliens
under the bill, may own residential
p-operty but are positively forbidden
to own or lease land for farming or
agricultural purposes. In this regard
the Webb measure is regarded as more
drastic even than the Birdsall bill for
which IL was substituted.
The BirdSall measure permitted Jap
anese to lease agricultural lands fOr
three years, whereas, under the Webb
bill, they may not lease such lands al
all.
It is asserted that the effect of the
Webb measure would be to end abso-
lutely all japanese farming colonies in
California
There was widespread interest among
legislators today as to what attitude
President Wilson would take on the
measure. That he does not approve OF

Bryan has told Governor johnson that

Congressman Hobson Of Alabama
called at the White House today, bus
did not discuss the Japanese situation
with the President.

Commenting upon the recent speech

nations were also those who were "Iittle

Representative Sued for Criminal Ii
bel by Socialists, Will Claim

OKLAHOMA CITY. April S.-(Spe-
cial THAT the heirs of j. A. Way
land. publisher of the Appeal TO
Reason" are determined on revenge
for the printed statements that the
late socialist editor committed suicide
to prevent exposure in regard to a
criminal operation performed on a
young girl, Is evident from the fact
that private detectives have been en-
ployed to trail and locate Helmuth
Duberg. formerly employed on the
Daily Oklahoman. and who is claimed
to be responsible for the first publica-
ton Of the story.
Duberg, after leaving oklahoma City
was employed as a detective, working
out of the United States district attor-
ney's office at Topeka. 1t Is in this
capacity that he is said to have taken
up the Wayland case and is said to
have furnished the details upon which
the story of the operation of the girl
and her subsequent death are founded.
The story is said to have first APP
peared in Pacific coast paper widely
known for its bitter opposition to ev-
erything that pertains to socialism and
labor organizations. II is claimed
that Dubers is the author of this story
and that ne sold it to the California
paper. This paper has a large circula-
tion and it is claimed that it was
through this mtdium that the story
was spread over the country and gave
Representative Neatch the first infor-
nation on which he founded the story
in the Ramona paper which caused
the civil and criminal actions against
him in Oklahoma county
It is not known here what proceed
ure the heirs will take I'm regard TO
Duberg. or If they had succeeded In
locating him. but it is known that they
are very anxious TO find him and have
gone to considerable trouble and ex-
pense with that end In view.
Representative Veatch said Tuesday
that he would claim his exemption
from arrest as a member of the legis-
lature as he did not intend to allow
the case against him to interfere with
his duty as representative Of his
county.

DEMOCRATS WORK
ON TARIFF BILL
CONGRESS BUCKLES DOWN TO
HARD TASK; MUCH CRITI-

COMMITTEES Announced
Bill Murray and Joe Thompson Go on
Record in Favor OF Making
Caucuscs Open.

WASHINGTON. April S-The fight
| congress today. Conferences and party
plans, which have held the stage for
| weeks past, gave way to the first open
steps for passage of the new tariff
bill.
President Wilson's personally delly-
cred message calling upon his party
associates in both houses to speedily
enact the party's pledges or tariff ac-
tion . was followed By caucus Of
democratic house members which Will
| continue for several days and in which
democrats will attempt to settle their
differences and agree upon support Of
the Underwood bill.
Criticism Of many features OF the
measure developed during the day in
democratic circles in the senate. In
short caucus Of senate democrats
held TO consider other matters, criti-
cism was voiced by one or two sen
ators against the free wool provision
and the sugar schedule providing for
free sugar in 1916.
House democrats settled none Of the
tariff questions today. The three
hour caucus session was devoted TO an
unsuccessful fight to throw the doors
open to the public, a proposal defeat
ed by a vote Of l67 to "a.
Details of the new tariff bill will be
taken up tomorrow.
Senate leaders still are inslstent that
the Underwood bill be sub-divided so
that separate votes may be had If de-
sired upon the sugar ana wool sched-
ules. one plan that has been propos-
ed TO President Wilson is that sched-
ulcs be grouped in such way that the
tariff will be comprised in four scpar-
ate measures. These proposals are
based on a growing belief that oppon-
ents of the sugar and wool provisions
may muster strength enough to threat
en- the defeat Of the bill.
Many progressive republican senat-
ors expressed their opposition to the
democratic bill. because of the sweep.
ing character of the proposed reduc.
tons The democrats are counting
little, If any. on any progressive sup.
port in the senate, should tariff re.

OKLAHOMA CITY. April S.
Especial 1.-The senate Tuesday again
postponed consideration of passing
over the veto of the governor of house
bill 30, the appropriation Of mileage
and per diem for the members OF the
special session, and put over until
lrrid V at o'clock further action on
it. 1t is the belief of many of the
members Of the upper house that it
cannot be passed there over the gov
ernor's veto.
The senate spent most Of the after
noon discussing house bill 81 and
senate bill AZ, both being anti-gamb-
.ng measures. In an effort TO take
parts of both bills and constructing
another that might suit, strong OPP
position was brought out. BY con-
STRUNG sections one or both bills
together playing cards in a hotel or
public place would be a miRi tsleanor
and playing cards in tn private home
would be exempt from prosecution.
Senator Kendrick was opposed to this
plan and declared that playing cards
was no more a crime in one place
than IL was in the other, so long as
the game was not abused. and said
that IL II was to be denied in one place
{ should be in the other.
