ing law. It was a message to Gov
ernor Johnson suggesting that the
Webb bill, which tho progressive
majority plans to put through the
California legislature tomorrow
"would involve an appeal to the
courts on the question of treaty
rights and bring on what might be
long and delicate litigation."
The governor replied immediately
that he would be extremely grateful
for any suggestions that would
"avoid the objection you mention."
At the state department absolute
silence is maintained. It is made
plain that there will bo no announce
ments before the return of Secretary
Bryan. The Japanese embassy is
equally reticent, although it is
understood in official circles that the
Webb bill is regarded there as even
more offensive than any of the pre
vious drafts of the proposed legisla
tion. The Japanese aro nnf ritannsaii f
let pass unchallenged the frequeut
statements from California of the
great menace to tho Rhitn nf Mi io
holdings of the Japanese as evi
denced by unofficial production of
statistics here intended to show the
insignificant quantity of land held in

The California 'state senate de
bated the Webb anti-alien bill, at a
late hour the night of May 2d. The
Associated Press report from Sacra

senate on the amended anti-alien bill

political argument.
The decision to amend the bill and
at the same time to prevent further
postponements was reached at a
conference held between Governor
Johnson, Attorney General Webb
and Senator Boynton.
The original bill prohibited both
ownership and leaseholders, but on
receipt of violent protests from land

was thought best to make this spe
cific exemption in the bill before
bringing it UD for flnn.1 nnnnrro TT,
amendments make the measure iden
tical with the bill introduced in tho
assembly last night.
A sharp debate preceded the adop
tion of the Boynton amendment
Several senators, including Demo
cratic Leader Caminitti, declared it
weakened the bill to admit that the
Japanese colony could exist on prac
tically the same basis as at present.
"We want a land law with the
specific words 'ineligible to citizen
ship' in it," said Senator Finn.
Senator Cohn (dem.) said he had
been persuaded by men who repre
sented 200,000 acres of land now
leased by Japanese that the exemp
tion of three-year leases should bo
mado.
On final roll call there were twenty-five
ayes against 123 noes. Wright,
Caminitti and Campbell gave notlc$
they would offer further amend
ments, but the majority leaders wero
confident they could resist them suc
cessfully. It was expected the debate would
last four hours, possibly until mid
nighty as the Curtain resolution,
which seeks to commit the senate to
President Wilson's wishes, is to bo
considered in connection with the.
Dill itself.
The original bill prohibited both
ownership and leaseholds, but upon
the receipt of violent protests from
large land interests that would bo
seriously affected if leases wero
eliminated it waa thought best to
make this specific exemption in tho
bill before bringing it up for final
passage. The amendments make tha
bill identical with the measure int
troduced in the assembly last night
by Assemblyman Bloodgood.
Senator Boynton hastily prepared
the amendment which he introduced
when the bill waa called up as ft
special order at 11:35 o'clock.
A long telegram of protest against
the passage of an anti-alien land
