The board explained to Mr. Test and
Mr.. Bullerdick that it was not the in

private property to be able to prohibit

ton so the streets might be opened

STATE D|V|DEDON
PROBLEM
California SOlOns May Take
Strenuous Action on
the Matter

Sacramento, Cal, March 20.-Cable re-
ports as TO how Japan would regard the
passage of an alien land law by the
California legislature prohibiting japanese
from owning or leasing real property in
this state, had the effect today of divid-
ing legislators into two groups--those who
favor such a law at any cost and those
who seek to conciliate Japan, while at
the same time carrying out the main
idea of anti-alen ownership.
Senator Sanford, author of the most
stringent of the four senate measures
bearing on the subject, said today he
was unwilling to yield TO any comprom-
ise. Senators Wright and Thompson of
the judiciary subcommittee, to which
the bills were referred, said they would
not favor action that threatened to in
fringe upon the treaty rights of any for
eign nation.
Senator Curtin. the only democrat n
the committee. announced himself as in
favor sof a law that would bar from land
ownership Japanese and all other for
eigners not eligible under the federal
laws to become citizens of California.

CHINESE LOAN
NOW IMPROBABLE
Other Powers Probably Will
Not Continue
Negotiations

London, March 20.-While the opin-
ion prevails in the London stock ex-
change that the other five powers will
continue negotiations with regard to
the loan to China in spite of the with
drawal of the United States, political
circles tend to the view that President
Wilson's action means dissolution of
the group. The Daily News, which has
been a consistent opponent OF the
group, takes the latter view. The News
continues:
President Wilson's action Is the most
valuable because 1t belongs to a gen
eral policy and he means to have moth
ing more to do with dollar diplomacy,
which makes the foreign offices instru-
ments of international finance"
The Morning Post, also inferring that
President Wilson's action means an end
to dollar diplomacy" says:
Whatever they may wish, the dem
ocrats are unable to escape the respon-
sibilities which rest on their country
in Central America. Political and mil
itary adventurers in small republics
pay little heed to mere exhortation and
II the President does not wish to con-
tinue to the republican policy he will
have to find other motions of enforc-
ing his will

D-PAT|SM" IS
DEAD, SAYS BRYAN
Speaks Before Jefferson
Banquet in Des
MOines

Des Moines. March 20.-"Standpatism
is dead.' declared William ]. Bryan,
secretary of State, before the annual
banquet of the Jefferson club here to-
night, speaking before a crowd which
filled big coliseum He dwelt long
upon the fact that he believed the
highest accomplishment of the present
administration would be restoration of
what he termed was the spirit of the
forefathers to the institutions of the
United States.
You cannot cross the United States"
declared MIR. Bryan without passing
through state which is governed by
progressive democrat. Illinois has
just placed one in office. Ohio elected
a progressive at the last election as
did NebraskS Kansas and Missouri,
and you came very near to filling out
this list of western states by electing
one here in Iowa. Just a day or two
before l left Washington a new Unit
ed States senator arrived. He was a
progressive democrat of New Hamp-
shire.
"All members of the cabinet are pro-
gressive democrats and the leader in
the Senate is John w. Kern, whom
100000 progressive democrats cast
time ago. More than this. the Sem
ate of the United States has been made
progressive and the new rules of the
body enable the majority of party to
control"
Secretary Bryan exhorted the office
seekers to remember that every plat
form of the party in the last two years
had placed principles before office
holding. but the fact which appalled,
him was that he was not able to ap-
point all of his friends to office.
He had no doubt, he declared, of
his ability to perform the public du-
tbs of the office to which the Pres
ident had called him, as he expected
to use the principles of common sense
necessary in every day life in solv-
ing the problems of office. The same
principles which enable two men to
live together as neighbors for term
of years would enable this nation to
live on terms of peace with every 9TH
er nation.
Secretary Bryan also said he had dis
covered that one of the duties he would
be able to perform while Secretary of
State was the announcement to the
people of the direct election OF sena-
tors plank l put In my platform
23 years ago." This alone is worth the
acceptance of the office.
Mr.. Bryan will go to Lincoln, Neb.,
for a few DAYS rest before returning
to Washington"

NAL was given today to reports that
officials of the Mexican federal gov
ernment had expressed the opinion that
American Intervention is inevitable in
event of the Huerta governments fail
ure to float the proposed foreign loan
in France
DR. p. Ornelas, consul general OF
Mexico in New Orleans. today re-
ceived a dispatch from Francisco De
La Barra, minister of foreign affairs
in which the latter declared that such
reports were not only untrue but cal
umnious.
"The report that Mr.. De La Barra
had acquiesced in such assertions is
equally false and malevolent," said DR..
Ornelas.
Official advices received by DIR. Or
nelas add that "the government Is
gatifyingly successful and has the sup
port of public opinion and the recogni-
ton of every state government in the
republic"
According to reports current here

THREE EPART|ESPLAN
PARTY MEETINGS
PrOgressives, Democrats and
Republicans Will
Organize

Washington, March 2o.-Republicans OF
the House will counsel on April for
organization. Representative Mann of Il
linois, minority leader, will be put in
the field as republican candidate for
speaker.
The progressives of the House will have
a meeting on April to discuss their
policies for the coming extra session. The
states expected to be represented are

to select Representative Murdock of KAN
sas as the progressive candidate for
speaker and progressive floor leader of
the House.
The democrats will hold their caucus
to pass upon the tariff policy and the
House organization probably April or 8.
Representative Hinebaugh of Illinois
tonight issued a call for the progressive
caucus on April O. The progressive
spokesmen are avoiding predictions of
strength until after the members begin
to gather in larger numbers for the extra
session, but they figure on anywhere from
Is to %, including one or two from Cali
fornla to line up as progressives on the
issue of the speakership.
1--WE are not claiming great numerical
strength" said Mr.. Hinebaugh tonight,
"but we propose to have distinct party
in the House. We are the major minor
ity party in the United States. We pro-
duced at the national election a larger
popular vote than the republicans. Our
presidential candidate received II times
as many electoral votes as the republican
candidate. We shall demand minority
representation on all committees and fair
treatment in a division of the time on
the floor. We propose to work for the
actual enactment into law of all the
progressive principles as enunciated in the
national party platform at Chicago. which
we hold to be our contract with the peo-
ple''
Mr.. Hinebaugh conferred today with
Representative Murdock of Kansas, who
Is to be put forward as progressive leader
of the House, and Mr.. Murdoch agreed
with this statement of purposes.
Representative Mann of Illinois. repub-
lican leader of the House, returned to
the capitol today after trip to Cuba.
He will be ready with the republican
committee selections whenever the ways
