Secretary Bryvan arrived in Sacra- mento_at six o'clock this morning. With his_consent plans were laid for an fmmediate hearing ana shortly af- ter 11 o'ciock the first. session of the conference began. 'Tntil the doors of the assembly chamber were closed and locked, Secretary Bryan refused to give any Inkling of his message to anvone and even at the conference he spoke only after legislators had ex- plained fully the public demand for alien land legislation that brought about the jresent situation. Those who expected Secretary Bry- an to expound a new theory of states rights were disappointed, as were those who expected predictions of war. Ad- vice in the name of President Wilson was all Mr. Bryan had to offer and the paramount question here tonight is whether such advice will overcome the previously announced determination of the progressive majority to enact an anti-alien land holding law along lines already agreed upon. Four Alternatives Suggested. Secretary Bryan re-affirmed the state’s right to act in 'a manner it saw fit, but suggested several alternatives 1o’ the passaze of = Dhill restricting aliens “ineligible to citizenship.* bas- ing his reasons on the broad founda- tion of public policy. Briefly, these alternatives in the order in which they were_suzgestad, are as follows: 1—Delay immediate action and al- low the state devartment to try to ac- mplish the ends desired by means of new treaty with Japan. { 2—Delay Immediate action and an- Point a commission to investigate the subject of allen land ownership and act in conjunction with the president in _securing relief. 2—Enact a law similar to the stitute §n Minols, which permits aliens “to hold land for a period not exceedine six years and applies alike to all a law similar to the fed- e governinz land ownershin rict of Columbia, which i3 aw applying to all aliens.

Senator Boynton Explains Situation. “T was _sent to Sacramento at the request of President Wilton,” said Mr. Bryan, “to consult with the governor and the members of the legislature on the pending land legislation. I am more inter=sted in the methods to be employed than in the end to be at- tained and I would be pleased to hear suggestions from any of you before speaking further.” Senator Boynton, _administration floor leader, thanked Mr. Bryan on behalf of the lezislatura for the visit. He then outlined the situation for the visitor, saying in part: “At the time President Wilson's tel- egram was received last week, an- nouncing the wish to send Secretary of State Bryan to confer with this Jegislature, there were two bilis on this subject before the senate. “It was apparent that fhe peopla of the state were s - in the enactment of an s land law anq such a law probably would have been passed before this time If it had not been for the tfelegram from the pres- ident. At his reouest we postponed further consideration of the matter until Mr. Bryan could present his views.” Bryan Urged to Give Reasons. Senator Bovnton then requested Mr. Bryan to point ont specifically state the objections of the national govern- ment and of Japan to the pending measures ang to giva his reasons from 2 diplomatic standpoint why Califor- nia should not enact such a law. When Mr. Bryan remained silent, other members of the majority party urged him to comply with the request. Sen- ator Caminetil. democrat, suggested that a small group of members from hoth houses be selected te hear Mr. Bryan’s arguments, but Boynten pro- tested and carried his peint, After meveral _others had spoken many of them quoting statistics te show the inerease in land holdings by Japanese during recent years, Secrefary Bryan arose, Mr. Bryan’s Response, #Ag the representative of the pres- dent,” he began, “I feel keenly the :e-ponslbflll‘y that is placed upon me, would have preferred te have him eome himsef, as the head of the na- tion, but that seemed impeossible and he delegated me to speak for him. I do not pretend to do other than ex- press his views, I am simply his spokesman, and I will say to you enly that which he weuid have oo s, “As to the eonstitutionality ef our treaty with Japan, you will pardon me if I decline to act as the supreme eourt, Further, as to the question of ' tion, I think we can consider < 3bat question as. indspendent of.iho Continuing, Mr. Bryvan said: “I have listened to what you have said and I assume everything to be true; that you have not overdrawn nor exaggerated the feeling of the people of California in the matter, I can assume that the people demand that something be done. “In that case the first question is whether the legislation is demanded at this time. If it can be delayed, then the first suggestion that the pres- ident would bave me make, is that You permit an effort to be made to deal with the question diplomatically, with a view\to reaching the same re- sults without legislation. “If the demand is so immediate that | this cannot be done, can action be de- ferred for two v nd in the mean- time have a commission appointed to | investizate conditions and act with | the executive?

President’s Duty to Urge Consideration ~This expresses the views of the president. He desires me to say that if such a law is passed, he will recog~ nize his duty as president to do all in his power to minimize the ill-feel- ing that might be eroused. At the same time he believes it his duty as president to urge earnest considera- tion of his advice, which is given hera with no desire to Interfere with what you may regard as necessary. And further, he urges that if you proceed at oncé, you consider the advisability ing language that cannot be just- ed as offending those nations @are friendly. BRYAN WIRES WILSON. Asks for Answers to Questions Raised by Californians. pril 28.—A day of Secretary of State - Johnson and the meémbers of the California legislature over proposed anti-alien land laws ended tonight with -the conference ad- Journed to await replies to messages Sent to Washington tonight by Mr Bryan. The impression prevailed here when the conference adjourned that the re- sult of the majority leaders, previous- ly announced, fo enact a bill specifical- ly debarring “aliens ineligible to_ citi- zenship” from owning land in Califor- nia remained unchanged, although Mr. Bryan as the personal representative of President Wilson advised strongly against such action. Governor John- son indicated this in a brief address to the conference. He declared Cali- fornia’s right to follow the lead of other states in framing the and bill was unquestioned and said such action now seemed assured. “I have presented the president’s views as I understand them,” declared Mr. Bryan to the conference just be- fore it adjourned. ‘“Tonight I shall submit to him the further questions | vou have asked me, calling attention to the statutes of Washington and Arizona, and I shall be prepared to- morrow, I hope, to give you his an- swer.” JINGO SP?ECH IN HOUSE.

Reduced Living Cost a Fallacy. He painted a vivid word picture of ruined industry and impoverished la- bor which he presented as the inevita- ble resuit of the Underwood bill. Re- publicans vociferously appiauded when e declared that the reduction in the cost of living promised by the demo- crats as a result of the tariff revision was a fallacy. Mr. Payne criticized the ways and means committee for putting wool on the free list while leaving on the duti- able list the hair of the Angora goa intimating that it was the work of Representative Garner, the Texas member of the committee. “There are 3,000,000 goats raised in the United States,” he said, “and I understand that 2,999,999 of them are raised in Texas.” Non-Partisan Commission Advocated. Representative Murdock, the pro- gressive leader, criticized the tariff policy of both democrats and republi- cans. He said the Underwood bill was an unreliable chaotic jumble of in- consistencies and urged that the tar- iff be placed in the hands of a non- partisan commission. Representative Rainey of Iilinois, democrat, declared the bill represented a mew era in the governments fiscal policy, “making lighter the burden of taxes upon the consumers of the coun- try and compelling great wealth to contribute its fair share toward paying the government expenses.” “The Wild Man from Africa.” “Representative Chandler of New York, progressive, advocated the re- duction of certain tarift duties and re- plied to Representative Heflin of Ala- bama, who, he said, had called Theo- dore Roosevelt “the wild man from Africa,” and in the same breath had invited the spirit of Andrew Jackson to guide the dellberations of a demo- cratic congress. Jackson's Recerd Reviewed. “Jacksen ence killed a man named arles Dickinson in a duel” sald Mr. | ‘handler. “He threatened to hang Calhoun as high as Haman; tried to horsewhip Themas Benten; challenged General Winfield Scett te a duel; over- ran Florida, and had two eminent British gentlemen hanged, thereby early bringing us into a war with Great Britain and Spain. and then the president broke up his cabinet by his own headstrong violence, This is the mild manner of man whese spirit is invoked In this house by a democratic congressman in the same breath that is employed to denounce Roosevelt as a wild man from Africa.” CHURCH ADVERTISEMENT Chicago Clergyman Says He Would Advertise in Perdition, if Necessary. Chicago, April 28—Advertising a church enterprise by placards and il- lustrated posters in barrooms caused a stir here today ameng Methodist clergymen. “The world in Chicago,” a mission- ary pageant a spectacle to be produced next week by the United churches, was advertised freely in bars and sa- loon windows. “I would print posters on asbestos and display them in perdition if I could get a crowd from there,” sald the Rev.
