Washington, May 12.—The federal government's final effort to delay alien land owning legislation in Calt- fornia was made when Secretaty Bryan, in the name of President: Wil- son, telegraphed Governor Jol notifying him that the Japanese ‘am bassador had . earnestly protested against the bill passed by the Cali fornia assembly and urging the gov- ernor to postpone action by withhold: ing his signature. Secretary Bryan’s telegram, framed after a conference with the president, was dispatched and made public at the White House a few minutes later. [t was as follows: “The president directs me to ex- press his appreciation of your cour- tesy in delaying action on the land bill now before you until its provis- ions could be communicated to the Japanese government and considered by it. “His excellency, Baron Chinda, has on behalf of his government, present ed an earnest protest against the measure. As you have before you but two alternatives, viz: to approve or to veto, it will avail nothing to re call to your attention the amend ments suggested to the legislature and as the president has already la before you his views upon the sub ject it is unnecessary to reiteraic them. He passes over questions a: fecting treaty rights for two reasons, first, because the bill passed by the legislature is avowedly intended to conform to treaty obligations, and, second, because any conflict com- plained of would be a matter for the courts, but the president feels justi- fied in expressing again his desire that action on the subject be deferred for this session, and he expresses the desire the more freely because the legislature can be reconvened at any time if the welfare of the state re- quires it. He is fully alive to the im- portance of removing any root of dis- cord which may create antagonism between American citizens and the subjects of Oriental nations residing here, but he is impelled by a sense of duty to express the hope that you will see fit to allow time for diplo- matic efforts. The nations affected by the proposed law are friendly na- tions—nations that have shown them- selves willing to co-operate in the es- tablishment of harmonious relations between their people and ours. “If a postponement commends itself to your judgment the president will be pleased to co-operate in a syste- matic effort to discover and correct any evils that may exist in connec- tion with land ownership by aliens.” The decision to urge Governor John- son to use his power of veto to post- pone any land legislation was reached after a conference between the pres- ident, Secretary Bryan and John Bas- sett Moore, counsellor of the state de- partment and frequent calls at the department by Ambassador Chinda. It was realized that any further at- ‘tempt to have the Dill enacted by the California legislature amended would be fruitless, since Secretary Bryan’s trip to Sacramento was un- availing.

Montreal, May 12.—The fate of the Titanic was escaped by the steame: Chilton Range in a collision with an iceberg to the east of the Newfound- land banks on its voyage from Hull to this port, where it has just ar- rived.

PEACE DELEGATES IN CAPITAL CALL ON PRESIDENT AND MEM- BERS OF CABINET. P.oposed Plan of Celebrating 100 Years of Peace Among the Anglia Saxons Outlined. Washington, May 13.—The inter- ational peace delegates, who are per- ecting plans for the celebration of he 100th anniversary of the signing of the treaty of Ghent and of peace among English-speaking people +in December next year, came to Wash- ington and called upon President Wil- gon, Secretary Bryan and other offi- cials of the government. At night the delegates attended a banquet, at which speeches were made by leaders in the peace movement and the pro- posed celebration. The delegates called upon Secretary Bryan, immediately after their ar- rival and were received by him in his office in the state department. Mr. Bryan spoke a word with each as he shook hands and later briefly ad- dressed the delegates as they gath- ered about him. He declared that in the long continued peace between the United States and Great Britain there was a lesson for all nations and this theme he elaborated later in his address at the banquet. When the party arrived at the capi- tol later, the house of representatives was about to convene, but the dele- gates were received by Speaker Clark in his office. He had them escorted to the house gallery, where they re- mained until the brief session ended. A statement outlining the proposed plan for the celebration in all Eng- lish speaking countries of the peace centennary was made public by An- drew B. Humphrey, secretary of the American committee, This will be submitted to the respective govern- ments with the request that it be ap- proved and aid in carrying it out be given, the erection, of suitable monuments in American afd England and their re- spective dependencies identical in de- sign and bearing an identical inscrip- tion. It is proposed that the founda- tion stones be laid by the king of England..and ‘the president of- the United States, and by their repre- sentatives in the Colonial possessions. While this is in progress, it is pro- posed that all work in both countries cease for five minutes. All nations are to be invited to send representa- tives to take part in the ceremonies, A UNIQUE MUSICAL CONGRESS Zither Players From All Parts of the Union to Meet in Davenport, lowa. _ Bt. Louls, May 18 American zither cle appeared in this paper rhoetly denouncing a “| certain young man and woman for | | being in the honeat and honorable oc- | “Studies in the Scripture.’ They were represented as soliciting -| money for ‘missionary purposes which is entirely untrue as ¢an be proved by any and all the people who: came in contact with them. The only money they have ever been known to ask for was payment for their books—98 cents for three volumes containing over 1200 pages. These books are regarded by a great many as being the best exposition of the Bible in existence. Just why. this Rev. gentleman wno signs himself Leslie R. Elliott, pastor Ohio Street Baptist church should find fault with this work is hard to understand. He gives ten points of error that he claims they teach. Some of theseare absolutely false while others are put} in such a distorted way as to show them up ina false light. The only way for the good people of Butler to do is to investigate these books with Bible in hand and they will soon rec- ognize the true worth of them. All the ministers did not warn their congregations against these books. Some of them had a good enough opinion of their people as to judgment to permit them to choose their read- ing matter without interference from them. If the stove is the only place for Pastor Russell’s writings, why does this gentlemen keep two sets of them in his library. as he said he had? And why did he, when we were placing good religious reading in the form of tracts at everybody’s door, follow us and pick up and ap- propriate to himself those that were intended for members of his congre- gation? Does he want to appropriate to himself all these good things— books.and tracts—and keep his flock in the dark? It has that appearance. He claims to be a follower of Christ and an under-Shepherd of Christ’s flock here on earth but has he acted ina Christ-like manner? Itis up to the people of Butler and Bates coun- ty to get the right answer to these questions. J. B. Bartlett.
