CALIFORNIA DETERMINED
TO EJECT THE JAPS.
BRYAN'S FRUITLESS MISSION.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 29. Mr W. J. Bryan (American Secretary of State) has arrived at Sacramento, and has conferred with the members of the Californian Legislature regarding the bill directed against the ownership of land in the State by aliens. The State legislators urge that similar laws directed against aliens are already in existence in the Arizona and Washington States, and that California is simply seeking to follow suit. Governor Johnson defends the legislators' action, and he has indicated that any arguments advanced by Mr Bryan are not likely to influence the State's action. Mr Bryan has sent a report of the proceedings to Washington, and has asked for further instructions. In tbe meantime the conference has adjourned. POSTPONEMENT REFUSED. APPEAL TO THE COURTS. (Received 1.13 p.m.) SACRAMENTO, April 29. Mr Bryan proposed that California suspend legislation until the Federal Government had time to negotiate a new treaty. ('overnor Johnson refused to agree. It is now thought probable that the Japanese Government will appeal to the United States Supreme Court. President Wilson and his Cabinet have discussed Mr Bryan's reply, but a statement is not forthcoming.
