The youth and the maiden had pur- chased from the porter at the emtrance door tickets of admission to visit the tower, from the eminence of which a wide view is possible. The porter no- { ticed nothing unusual in their de- meanor as he escorted the coupls to the stairway and saw them start to climb the right of (22 steps leading to the top gallery with its chimes of 99 bells. That the act of the loyers was premeditated was shown by the fact that they had placed five letters, one addressed to the police commis~ sary and the others to various rela- tives, where they easily could be seen by visitors to the tewer, Entering the clock of the gallery i the couple climbed upon the stone bal- ustrade, With hands eclasped, they poised themselves for a moment and then leaped downward inte the gieve market, siriking the flags elose te the historic Matsys fountain.

NO COMPLAINT YET LODGED BY CHINA Chinese in California Affected by Anti- Alien Land Law. Washington, April 25.—Secraiary not expected to spend more than a week at Sacramento conferring with Governor Johnson and state leg- ators over the propcsed anti-alien land laws. From semi-official sources today it was said that Mr. Bryan ex- pected to present the views of Presi- dent Wilson and do all that was pos- sible to remove friction between the United States ang Japan over that particular legislation in time to pe back in Washington on May 7. In official circlies today it was sug- gested that the energy with which Japan had protested against the enact- ment of the pending alien land hold- ing legislation in California had served to obscure the fact that the many Chinese would be affected by nich laws, though not in proportion to the Japanese residents, The Chinesé legation here, though noting the facts, has refrained from lodging any protest at the state de- partment, while awaiting instructions from Peking as well as the issue of the negotiations between Americi and Japan regarding the question of alien land ownership, It is apparent, how- ever, that thessituation is viewed with deep comcern, developing as it has at the very moment when tke United States government is about to encour- age the Chinese people by extending recognition to the infant democracy, Specific treaty guarantees, it was peinted out, prebably would give the Japanese preperty owners a decided advantage ever the Chinese in pretect- ing their rights jn the event of dis- criminatery legislation, Knowles’ Resignation Ascepted, 24.—8Seeretas ‘Washingten, : dAp-n 2 ry Knowles as minister to Bolivia, Mr. Ea ‘whe was appeinted te tie Bolivian pest by President Taft in 1916, resigned at the clese of the last inistration.
