VIOLATES EXCLUSION
. V MOVE, BELL SAYS
Theodora A. Bell Issued this state
'ilnent yesterday:
I* "Under the rules.that control all dis-
Biona, I am entitled to reply briefly
to Governor Johnson's 'answer , to my
r«tatemcnt concerning the .alien land
bill. The governor, not being able_to
<lefend hie stand in favor: of leasing
our farming lands to Japanese, resorts
to personal abuse. The aaeetion is too
iJbiK for personalities. v
£■ "I am /opposed U the Jolinson ad
. jnJnlstratibn measure because it vio
lates the .principle of Asiatic exclusion
that I have always advocated. It per
mits the leasing:of agricultiri'al lands
Jn three year : periods without other re
riction, which to'wy mind, Is an in-
itat!on to the Japanese to come here
and settle upon our soil.
i~ "Once let the present bill become the
law and' it will be ut-ed as a club
against in whenever wkdemand federal
.action against Asiatic Immigration. : ;-\
» "Congress alone -has<power to enact j
Immigration ; laws; but if California j
passes a law permitting her lands to j
•be leased by th* Japanese, will this not 1
be used against» Judge Raker and our :
"-other congressmen in their fight to re- !
strict Asiatic immigration.
= . "My positioti is simply this: if Gov
■vjprnor Johnson signs the, Webb bill Wβ
should put it to a refereopium vote and
at the same election submit one or
more initiative measures, that will go
Btraight to the root of the problem. ,
i "The governor says we should allow
rhis bill to become the law until the.
people initiate and- pass some other
ilaw. In -othor words, we* should f com-
mit ourselves indennitelytto a bad law
• —one that implledly consents to Japa
ijiese immierrati'<n. This would bea
step in the wrong direction, a step that
pome day would have to be retia at
'Breat.cost and sacrifice. Better to Sβ!
our face toward the goal we are seek-
Jng and not start until we are reau> to
"go straight through. -• :
"A fewmonths' delay in putting a
fjproper law in operation can not work
■ any material harm. ;If any attempt
'were-made by the Japanese to rush in
; and grab our lands before any law
Could be put on the utatute book the
governor hasv the power to call the
legislature in extraordinary session and
pass an urgency measure to meet *he
situation. ".^j-V-j
' I shall not ailow the governor to
provoke me to a persona! quarrel, not
: only because of the serious | situation
-ithat confronts.«s. but for the additional
Treason that-just as soon as he is ready
"to stand for Asiatic exclusion I shall
to work in stricf'a.cconl with

HOMEIX GOOD VoXDITIO>
"When eeen at her home. Twenty
thJrd'ayenue, Oakland, yesterday after
noon. ; Miss ~ iZwlllinger f showed J. few
traces of the physical ordeal she had
just passed through. Aside from her
face being -reddened by contact with
the pun ; and \ winds and .a - drawn ex
pressloh" about the " lips, there \ were no
vi?rble signs to show that this s-lightly
built girl -: ha<l accomplished a walking
feat i which , not one man ,in a , hundred
could'^ successfully undertake. ■ • I/-' . ■■:
But 't<?-members7of her family there
are more effects of \ the •20 hours } spent
on the ; road, nearly •18 of * which * were
spent Id actual walking.' Her aunt, Mrs.
-Alice R." Berry,< with whom she and her
sister : Alice reside, declares that 'j her
young , 'niece - •has lost between 15 and 20
pounds in weightSduring;her,' walk. The
intrepid little walker 'herself confessed
that she'mußt have lost ;at least 10.
During theVactual walking time Miss
Zwillinger took no nourishment except
beef tea, which - she drank .as sho
walked," occasionally. ;*;
' The-vltality and ; stamina of Miss Zwil-:
linger was considered ;-■ remarkable.
Since midnight .of Thursday ; she i had
not closed her eyes in sleep, refusing to
go to bed J yesterday , morning at:Gilroy
after " : arrivlng;r there at 2 o'clock. * ;.
I Recllriingi'comfortably in a morris
j chair. Miss - Zwillinger discussed her
I establishment' of the new walking rec
j ord for women modestly,: laughing arid
I joking over some of the road experi
! ences. Her eyes gleamed brightly and_
no one would have i guessed she had
walked more", than 66 ' miles with only
; 6He v short. stop for rest.\ She said:
-\OT EXACTLY TIRED v ; \ ;.'. .
\--} "Tired? Why, no, I can not say I feel
\ exactly tired. At times I seem •to • still
be walking, , but that ,is , merely j the re-
I suit of .concentrated 'thought and fixity
of purpose to keep 3 walking until ' I had
reached Gilroy; and beaten■ Miss ■ Sears' *
', record. I 'could have kept on walking
; till 1 had reached Del Monte, but>there
1 was no real - need; of ;■ lt X as Miss j Sears
I stopped in Gilroy, Cand ; my sister and
aunt;absolutely forbade me overexert
-1 ing myself. ■• 1 don't really believe --I
; feel anymore exhausted than I have on
i numerous mourttaln'cilmbs.".;.:
' Why. the walk does not see.m to me
to be anything so wonderful." contins
ued Miss Zwillinger. "I do. not see why
such a "fuss is made over it. '; I had
been foiid of walking for many years,
had. spent months in climbing over; [ the
mountain ranges In Mendoeino and So
noma counties, and 1 simply made Tup my
mind That ~\l w»e sas ; good '. walking
long distanbfes as any Boston girl. I
hated to .see- the record for walking,
trip by women In California by
Boston girl. ' v ■; v:-
"So Mr. O'Dea. my sister and aunt
arranged the matter. V.'c selected this
eer-ison of th« year, for it is be&t time
for walking la the distrlct;between San
lvi-ancls:Ci6iand ,Gilr6y," whJch^wae\ my
objective point. "We:intended to leave
bturiingame at *4 o'clock Friday morn
ing, ; M as to reach Gilroy by midnlgljt
if possible, but It rained bo heavily
we could not get started until ,5:30
o'clock.* Mr. , u'Uea was to walk the
>iitlre distance with i me. while sister 1
and aunt Alice was to folfow in the
automobile, driven by William Dugan, |
afrlerid of Mr. ODea. ;•: ■"
COMI.VG: WAS _ HERALDUD >..;>.-^^^
"In some manner; the : T\ewe.lof. my
corning had preceded me and we were
met at the city limits by a large crowd
of curious: persons and a delegation of
reporters . and , photographers. , It was
an hour before we could get away from
them, and then we iiad something to
•■a?. We left San Jose at 10 minutes
to '•*"', The 'evening , was very, pleasant
for walking, but we encountered some
bad stretches of : road, particularly in
the Morgan ; Hill district, I where « they
are working on the state ■highway.
The automobile got stuck several times.
Then we- had ■to cover a hard granite
load for five miles. We also lost our
way in this part of the country and
went two miles further than we
needed to. : : - r '-■■' ■-•»-• <•". - : - .'♦-■."■■
■'Alice and Mrs. Berry was; feeling |
: well : tired out by this time, but Mr. |
ODea and I were feeling alright. I ;
use' a, swlging stride in walking, j
which y does?; not I tire one. But Mr.;
i ODea walked as though he .was go- |
| ing to his: office, yet never gave any
: evidence -of being exhausted. J The
j Morgan Hill p/ople evidently phoned
'to Gilroy, for when we arrived at 2
o< lock, we were j met by the officials
I s>rwl half the townspeople, who gave
us ■ reception and escorted us to the

A«kc-«l whether ehe had taken any

she had ■ walked "■ the ' : 16 miles to the
petritled;forest in exactly four*hours,
• a remarkable record, for the road ;Is
I considered one of thehardest to cover
In California. f At the close of the in
terrl#w, t tired lines began to make
their appearance in Miss Zwlllinger's

United States Bureau of Ed

dition Is Desperate
WASHINGTON, May 10.—"Public
school■teachers of the United State*
do not i receive enough salary .a to save
money to carry i adequate life I insur-;
ance or ;to proceed with - further pro
fessional training," announces t a report ,
of the United States bureau of educa
tion issued today. " ' •
Most of the teachers of the country
have, in effegt, had their salaries re
duced f since '»1897, ■■ the 5 report saye.
v ! Despite an apparent Increase in
money received by them, the high cost
of I living: has cut into their salaries":
Just as definitely as if fa' school board
had •' elicedUhem; : :Aii teaching * position 1
which paid |600 In 1897 is paying in
purchasing power an equivalent of $416
; today, if measured by 1897 prices; I the
* ; teacher on the $1,000 ? salary gets no
more for his money than he : would
have procured '15 * years ago for $693. :
> The i* report 'shows that wholesale
prices in 1911 were 44.1 per cent higher
than in 1907; that retail prices had in
creased 50.2 cent in the same period,
while in June, 1912, retail food prices
were 61.7 per cent higher than in 1896.
With 5 these figures;; as a basis, an
analysis of teachers' salaries in five
cities lin different? parts of ;: the country
shows'theTpliKhtlofi the t teachers in the
problem of -increased cost of living.
"Teachers spend more than working

"though f. their j pay i is % about { the : same.
