A PRECEDENT WILSON WILL NOT VIOLATE

President Has Decided Not to Interfere in California Question Because of Senate's Rights.

f HOLDS CONFERENCE

ON THIS QUESTION Executive Prefers a Diplomatic Clash With Japan Rather Than Interfere in the Case Involved. (National News Association) WASHINGTON, April 16 The Japanese protest against the passage of the California alien land law delivered to the president by Ambassador Chinda formed the principal topic of discussion at the white house today. Immediately after breakfast Secretary of State Bryan called and following him in quick succession came Secretary of Interior Lane, a native of California, Secretary Houston and Senator Works of California. With all of these the President considered the phases of the situation. There will be no definite action by the white house on the alien land bill until the measure has passed both houses of the California legislature and has been signed by Governor Johnson. The administration believes that the statement to the Japanese ambassador, Which declares that the federal government cannot interfere in state's rights questions will lead to a diplomatic clash between Japan and the United States, but regards this preferable to an infringement on the old doctrine of state's rights. PASSES ONE HOUSE. SACRAMENTO, Cal., April 16. The anti-alien bill, the object of which is to make- impossible the ownership of land in California by aliens or by those who have not declared their intention of becoming citizens of the United States, was passed by the Assembly yesterday afternoon by a vote of 60 to 16. Four attempts were made to amend the bill and all were voted down. - After two hours had been spent in debating proposed amendments the bill went to a roll call without a word of argument. The measure was drafted by a subcommittee of the Judiciary Committee as a substitute for bills previously introduced, all of which specifically provided that "aliens ineligible to citizenship should not hold lands." The committee, however, proceeded on the theory that such a statute might be held in violation of the treaty rights of Japanese subjects, and broadened the measure to include all aliens who had not declared their intention of becoming citizens. In order not to embarrass foreign corporations the committee did make the corporation clause of the bill. Section 8, apjly "only to aliens not eligible to citizenship." "It is a question greater than dollars and cents," said Assemblyman Bloodgood. "It amounts to another great race problem. Ten miles from Sacramento I saw a Japanese man and a white woman living together. There was a baby. What was that baby? It . was the beginning of a new race problem a problem of the fusion of races iinassimilable."

JOSEPH MARTIN IS NOT -YEUOCATED Kidnapped Memphis Millionaire Still Held a Prisoner By His Captors. (National News Association) LONDON, April 16. After thirteen days of fine-tooth-comb searching on the continent, Joseph Wilberforce Martin, the Memphis, Tenn., millionaire who disappeared mysteriously in this city, has not yet been traced to the last spot in which his captors secreted him when detectives got on their trail in Lambeth yesterday, although Detective W. J. Burns believes he will be located soon. day in the neighborhood of Piccadilly when the police raided two resorts and arrested fifty gamblers on the theory that some of them may have been connected with Martin's disappearance or may have some knowledge of it. Scotland ard sleuths are trailing a woman known as "Baby Ruth" who from her record may possibly have some connection with the case, it was alleged. "Baby Ruth" was booked to sail for New York today and it was reported that there might be sensational development before the boat departs. Both the private and public detectives are convinced that a woman is implicated in the disappearance of the rich American and both squads are working along this line. The Lambeth and Kensington districts of London are swarming with detectives, searching for the house where Martin is said to be held captive by a band of kidnappers. According to a well established theory, Martin was decoyed by a band of card sharps whose members are known to the international police. The Arkansas land deal which Martin put through on the eve of his strange disappearance involved $6,000,000. Mr. Martin was said to have a large sum of ready cash in his pockets when he dropped out of sight. Amateur detectives are attempting to employ Sherlock Holmes methods of deduction from the known facts. and from the circumstances attending ine nnaing or Martin s opera . hat, pocketbook and watch chain. kThe suggestion has been to Lockhart Anderson, the English friend of Mr. Martin that he lay the facts before A. Conan Doyle, the creator of Sherlock Holmes and ask Sir Arthur's aid in running down the kidnapping band. VAN ZANTJSJJOBED G. A .R. Member Stepped on Floor at Cuort House.

(Henry Brown, to the left, and Rodman Law and diagram sketch of their proposed flight across the Atlantic.) NEW YORK. April 16. The first two men to attempt to fly across the Atlantic Ocean in a heavier-than-air machine will be Harry Bingham Brown, the daring young aviator, and Rodman Law, parachute Jumper and all-around professional dare-devil. A specially modelled Burgesse Wright biplane is being constructed for them now, and they plan to start from the East Coast of New Foundland early in July. The $50,000 prize offered by the London Mail is the incentive. These foolhardy young men plan to make the trip in thirty six hours, including one stop in mid ocean to replenish their oil and gasoline tanks. It is planned to maintain an altitude of 1.200 feet, at which height it is possible to see over a radius of fifty miles. The aeroplane will be equipped with pontoon floats and will not exceed 1,500 pounds when completely equipped. Brown and Law will sleep in five hour shifts. The machine will have two sets of controls one in front of each seat, so that the men will not have to change positions when sleeping. The route used by the largest number of ships will be followed, so that they figure to be constantly in sight of some Tran6-Atlantic liner.

MARSHALL ISSUES NEW PROPOSITION Says All Estates Over $100,000 Reverting to State on Death Is Favored. (National News Association) WASHINGTON, April 16. Men of judgment have expressed- the belief that a proposition to make all estates over one hundred thousand dollars revert to the Btate upon the death of the owner would be carried by a vote of 2 to 1, declared Vice President Marshall in a statement, issued here elaborating his speech made in New York last Saturday night. His leading points follow: "Men are askine whether there is any difference between manufacturers i cfmf the government asking for help in his business and the poor man who goes to the workhouse to ask for the help. "The question is being asked why the government should be expected to guarantee profits to the manufacturer when it does not guarantee the difference in the cost of food at home and abroad to the consumer with an extra dollar for a rainy day. "There was a time in England when children were born not as good citizens but as cogs in a machine, fed, as it were, to the mills and factories. It was a somewhat similar condition that produce Rousseau in France and it was Rousseau's writings that brought about the revolution. "I would go down into a ditch to shake the hand of a poor man, but I would also be glad to shake the hand of a rich man. We are all brothers." CASE IS Harry Jones Promises to Provide For Family. The case of child desertion against Harry Jones, an employe of the F. and N.
