gift Of the members Of congress from
California, and made stirring speech
to the boys.
The boys band played the "Star

til the hour arrived for the executive
session in the assembly chamber. Lieu
tenant Governor Wallace, leaders OF
both houses, President Jordan and Mr..
Phelan We're asked in.
The interesting question as to what
plans Mr.. Bryan has for setting the
early. He has none. He wants to
hear the issue discussed pro and con,
and hopes that after listening to the
local views some modus operandi
VIII develop.
The executive session in the assem-
bly, chamber was attended by the men,
bers Of both houses, Mr.. Bryan being
escorted by Governor Johnson and
Lieutenant Governor Wallace.
One plan that is being seriously con-
sidered comes as suggestion from
DR.. Jordan. That is, to have a stale
commission appointed to study the gen.
eral problem OF alien land ownership
an dreport the findings and recon-
mendations to the federal government.
DR.. Jordan believes that a friendly
suggestion made by this government
as the result Of such an investigation
would be acted upon favorably by ia
pan, He points to the gentleman's
agreement following Senator Roots
proposal on the immigration issue as
proof of the Willingness Of Japan to
accept friendly suggestions.
The pending problem, according to
DR., Jordan, is not one Of war, but
Of courtesy as between nations, japan
he said, would have no disposition to
criticise any restriction that might be
levied generally and against all ma

that might imply inferIOrity.

General Debate Closes
[BY UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATE

WASHINGTON, Apr. 29.-With the
general debate on the tariff closed, the
house today began consideration of the
Underwood measure for amendment.
Underwood insists he does not intend
to impose the gag rule, but proposes to
try the policy Of allowing the five min
ute debate to run open unless minori-
ty attempts dilatory tactics. The Repub-
licans admit there is no chance to
amend the bill, but intend to wage a
fight against the first paragraph, which
makes the bill effective the first day
after the presidents signature. The
minority contends the country's bust
ness men should have time to regulate
affairs to the new conditions the tariff
imposes. They want its effectiveness
delayed several months.
Wilson has arranged q conference
for Thursday with Western and South
ern senators opposed to free wool and
sugar.
During the tariff discussion in the
house today Underwood served notice
on Representative of the minority that
The Democrats propose to dictate the
tariff policy to congress and stand re-

SENSATIONAL PREDICTION
MAOE BY A FRENCHMAN
BY William Philip Sims,
aris Correspondent Of United Press

PARIS, April 29.-"In less than ten
years the Atlantic ocean will be spanned
by an aerOplane, and more than that,
the crossing will be accomplished in
less than day" Such was the
astounding prediction made by Count
de Lambert. the French nobleman who
was Wilbur Wright's first pupil and the
third passenger ever taken up in q
heavier than air machine. Count de
Lambert is one Of the most cOnserva-
tive of the worlds air men. His dis
position is not unlike that of the Wright
brothers, who taught him how I'd fly.
He weighs well his words before
speaking. His interest in aviation IS
three efOld-as sportsman, as a
French patriot and as scientist. What
he says, therefore, is the studied opin-
ion Of a practical man.
81 believe" said Count de Lambert,
THAT within ten years the sea will be
traversed from the British Isles TO the
United States or vice versa by hydro
aeroplane, and between sunrise and
sunset at that. There are two diff
culties which must be overcome. One
is that one must be able to keep ones

course. one would steer by compass,
but one would drift without being con-
scous of it If the wind came from a
contrary direction.
To-day no machine could cross with :
out stopping en- route. And two days
would be necessary for the trip. But
with a better fuel that petrol, or a
more efficient motor than any we have
at present, believe the journey could
be made In one day. | am sure these
will be found, also an aerOplane with
less wind resistance. In the meantime
consider the feat Of crossing the ocean
in such hydroaeroplanes as we have
now perfectly practicable. With a lit
tie luck two days Of good weather. and
not too high a wind-unless the wind
were at ones back-the trip could be
made. Two engines would probably
be used. The Gnome 1l-cylinder en-
gine, for example, is so made that
seven cylinders could be used at a time.
Also there would probably be two pi-
lots. One could easily enough lie down
and sleep or rest while the other was
driving"
Count de Lambert is the inventor OF
the hydroaerOplane, or "glider," which
is now the fastest kind of motor boat
known. He is not in the game for the
money but is simply gentleman avi-
atOr"

WASHINGTON, Apr ga rush of
speech-making ON the final day OF
general debate on the tariff bill made
proceeding lively in the house. Most
OF the members had held back with
a view to getting the larger audiences
expected with the closing of the gen.
eral debate and the shifting of the
consideration of teh Underwood tariff
revision to reading Of the measure,
under the five-minute rule, beginning
tomorrow.
Chairman Underwood has not chang
ed his views that the bill should be
disposed of in the house within week
from today and that the sugar schedule
IS not likely to offer much real trouble.
He hoped that unless the fight Of the
anti-free wool advocates spreads, the
bill will emerge from the senate sub
stantially in the form in which it now
stands.
Representative Rainey of Illinois, who
had charge of the agricultural schedule
of the bill, as a member of the ways
and means committee; Representative
Murdock of Kansas, the leader Of the
Progressives, along with Representa-
live Chandler of New York, and others
Of that party, and some OF the big
guns of the Republicans, were on to-
days speaking program.
Mr.. Rainey declared that the bill
represented the dawn of a new era in
the governments fiscal policy, "makins
lighter the burdens Of taxes upon cor
Sumers and compelling great wealth
to contribute its fair share toward pay.
ing the governments expenses. ale
pointed out that no government that
adopted an income tax system and
given it fair trial had repealed it,
I'VE make the tax highest upon the
great income and lowest on the small
incomes" he said, taking 425,O0O ir
all, and expect to collect from them
at least 70,000,O00."
He said the tax would reach 1876 200
incomes that amount to between $4,000
and $4,000 year, from which the gov
ernment expects to collect only $780,
900. an average of S5 an income, and
would reach 100 incomes amountin2
to more than 100000 each yearly
from which a collection of nearly So
100000 is expected.
Mr.. Rainey said he knew Of no swol-
len fortune which had not been made
possible by the favOrs Of the govern
ment and that protective tariff con-
ferred upon protected interests the

lect and distribute them in divisions tC
