of immigration, think we can con-
slider that question as independent
of the land question with which we
are here concerned
Questions concerning the treaty
and the immigration of japanese to
the United States had been asked
during the debate.
FEELING OF THE PEOPLE.
II have listened to what you have
said and / assume everything to be
true; that you have not overdrawn
nor exaggerated the feelings of the
people of California in the matter
can assume that the people de-
mand that something be done.
In that case, the first question
is whether the legislation is de-
manded at this time. If it can be
delayed, then the first suggestion
that the President would have ME
make is that you permit an effort to
be made to deal with the question
automatically, with "iew to reach
ing the same results without iegis-
lation.
IF the demand is SO immediate
that this cannot be done, can action
be deferred for two years, and in the
meantime have commission ap-
pointed to investigate conditions and
act with the Executive? Would it
not be worth while to try this plan
before you adopt the plan that might
result in unfriendliness from a for
eign nation7
Il am not going to indulge in any
speculation as to what may happen
If you do anything now, but 1 am
here to advise against the use OF any
language that would offend any
nc ny1n l., nxys, I@~
In case immediate action was de-
manded, Secretary Bryan said he
would be in favor of a law framed
along the lines of the Illinois law, or
the federal statute in the District of
Columbia, both of which are general
in character
Either of these measures is pre-
fereable to language that includes
the words ineligible to citizen
ship, added Mr.. Bryan. "Presi-
dent Wilson believes that If you use
these words, you might as well make
law declaring specifically against
Japanese and Chinese ownership.
This expresses the views of the
President. He desires me to say
that If such law is passed, he will
recognize his duty as President to
do all in his power to minimize the
i'll feeling that might be aroused.
At the same time. he believes it his
duty as President to urge earnest
consideration of his advice, which is
given here with no desire to inter
fere with what you may regard as
necessary. And further, he urges
that If you proceed at once, you CON
slider the advisability of using Ian
guage that cannot be justly CRITICS
ed as offending those nations with
whom we are friendly"

MORAL SUASION
POWERS SCHEME
Seem Indisposed to Coerce Monte
negro-No Formal Demand.

London, April 27-The ambassa-
dorial conference met again yester-
day. Premier Asquith and Viscount
Morley, lord president of the coun-
Gil, were present and discussed the
Scutari problem. 1t is understood
the conference adheres to it's de-
cision that Montenegro must eyacu-
ate Scutari, but is indisposed to
acqu1esce in Austria's demand that
the powers undertake to compel
evacuation by arms. No demand has
been formally sent to the Cettinje
government and probably nothing
will be done in this respect until
after the next meeting of the con-
ference Monday, when Sir Edward
Grey, the British foreign minister.
who has been absent from London
this week, again will preside over
the deliberations.
The Montenegrin crown prince.
Danilo, made his formal entry into
Scutari Friday. General Yokutich
has been appointed military COVER
nor and NJ. Plamenatz, former
charge de- affairs at Constantinople,
civil governor. King Nicholas will
make his triumphal entry into
Scutari today and it is reported he
will proclaim his intention to move
his court there.

JUDGE GAGE FOR
SUPREME COURT?
Friends Urge Him To Offer For Su-
preme Court Seat.

Chester Special to The Columbia
State, April 27.-Judge George w.
Gage of this city will be brought
out by his friends to succeed Justice
Charles A. Woods, who has been ap-
pointed by President Wilson to sue
ceed Judge Goff on the federal
bench.
Judge Gage. so his friends say, is
the logical man for the place, being
one of the oldest in tenure of years
OF the circuit judges, as well as
most able jurist. He received the
strong Endorsement of the legisla-
ture in the last race for position
on the state supreme court. His
promotion to the place, his friends
declare, would not only be a we'll
deserved reward for faithful ser
vice, but likewise a gain to the state
OF another gifted member of the al
ready distinguished court.

YOUTH AND MAIDEN
PLUNGE TO DEATH
Suicide Pact is Outgrowth of Love
Affair i'm Antwerp.

Antwerp, Belgium, April ga
youth Is years old and a 19-year-
old girl were the principal char
acters in love tragedy enacted
here yesterday. Arm in arm they
climbed to the clock gallery in the
tower of the Notre Dame cathedral
and from height of $50 feet leaped
into space, falling at the feet of
passers-by.
Every bone in the bodies of the
boy and his companion was broken.
AS they hurled through the air sew
eral men and women who witnessed
the sight tainted
According to the police the leap
from the church tower was in ac-
cordance with a premeditated sui
eide pact.
Letters found in the tower show
that the youth was Ellie Walkow
and that his home was in this city.
The girl has not been identified.
The letters, it is declared, stated
that the young couple had been
driven to their death because of
love affair.

REBELS CAPTURE
TOWN OF VANEGAS
Cut the Railway TO the North and
Then Move Over to MatehuaIa.

Mexico City, April 2S.-Further
evidence of the aggressiveness of the
northern rebels was given yesterday
when several hundred of them, well
armed and mounted, captured the
town of Vanegas, on the National
Railway, in the state of San Luis
Postosi. They cut the railway to
the north and then moved over to
Matchuala, a mining and smelling
center.
Dozens of engagements have oc-
Cured during the last week in var
ious parts of the republic. The ma
jority of these have been victories
for the federals. according to re-
ports here, but in no case have the
rebels lost heavily. The greatest
rebel losses were at Reata, where
their casualties are said to have
numbered 150
The rebels continue to cover new
territory and cripple transportation
facilities. More than $500 miles of
the National Railway system are ont
of commission. To this is added a
long stretch of the Southern Pacific.
south of Guaymas. and other short
independent lines.
The inability UP to date of the
government to float a loan is a SER
ious handicap, but Notwithstanding
this President Huerta is doggedly
forcing the campaign. The recent
announcement that the pay in the
army will be a peso and a half a day
has been followed by fresh efforts
to augment the ranks. Volunteers
for the most port oy conscription are
being obtained here at the rate of
100 day. However, the govern
ment's campaign appears to be
largely defensive. 1t believes it will
be able to hold Guaymas.
Mexico City papers are printing
stories of dissensions among Sonora
rebels and assuring their readers
that the movement in the north is
disintegrating as a result. The gov
ernment assurances that there are
no rebels in the state of Sinaloa are
not supported by private advices,
which indicate that even the capital
of the state, Cullacan, is threatened.
In the south, Zapata and his allies
are waging terrible campaign of
destruction. The government prom
ises to proceed without mercy
againts the rebels in the south. 1t
is said that it intends to deport men.
women and children to the jungles
of Quintana Roo when captured,
and will attempt TO drive the others
to the southern boundaries of this
territory, which is popularity de-
scribed as Mexico's Siberia.
Because the telegraph lines over
an enormous area are in control of
the rebels accurate news is scarce,
and there have been no mails from
abroad in three weeks. Tension in
the capital caused by the withdrawal
of Gen. Felix Diaz as candidate for
the presidency as a result of the re-
fusal of Congress to call the cleo
tions on July 27, has practically
disappeared since President Huerta
and his cabinet have agreed to make
a new effort for the holding of the
elections.

BEDLAM REIGNED
IN HYDE PARK
Attempt of Suffragettes to Hold
Meeting Precipitates Riot.

London, April 2S.-Hyde park
was again turned into Bedlam by
the suffragettes and their oppo-
nents yesterday afternoon. The
women, declining to recognize the
police order that no suffragettes'
meetings were to be held in the
park, appeared with a wagonette
and proceeded to address a small
crowd. Immediately youths com
menced to gs er and an attempt
was made to ag the wagonette to
the Serpentine, for the purpose of
ducking the women.
Mounted and foot police inter
vened just in time to save them and
the suffragettes were escorted from
the park, followed by a jeering
crowd, who pelted them with turf
and street refuse after they entered
a cab.
Men supporters of the cause were
similarly treated, the crowd refus-
ing TO allow any suffrage meeting,
militant OF otherwise.

OLD GRAPE JUICE
"SAFE and SANE"
So Says Nelva Lockwood in Com
menting on Bryan's Dinner.

Washington, April 26.-Some of
the notables of Washington life took
part yesterday in the international
comment on Secretary Bryan's Crane
juice to British Ambassador Bryce,
which was attended by the'first fig
ures of the diplomatic corps. Many
foreign newspapers have published
editorials upon it and Secretary
Bryan himself has issued a state
ment.
Belva Lockwood, who, among
other distinctions bears those of
having been nominated for President
of the United States, one Of the orig
1nal suffragists and the first woman
lawyer admitted to practice before
lhe supreme Court, approves the
Secretary's discrimination.
Grape juice gayety is the safe
1T doesn't leave a head in the morn
ing. We should not worry about
London's criticisms"
Representative Bartholdt, for
years leader in the campaign to
restore the canteen to the army and
also an advocate of international
peace, doesn't agree with Mrs.
Lockwood, nor Secretary Bryan.
The diplomats, of course, were
not in a position to criticise," said
he, but l would like to have a
photograph of what they thought.
Dollar diplomacy of the Republican
regime was the target of criticism.
but grape juice diplomacy / fear
will be much less effective as far as
our national prestige is concerned. "
What Mr.. Bryan serves at his
own dinners is Mr.. Bryan's own
business" said Mrs. Thomas r.
Marshall. Il have never served
anything to drink at dinner. I've
never given and / do not intend TO
do so whether it is state dinner or
one for personal friends"
