ASKS GOVERNOR NOTTOSIGN BILL 6.1 Secretary Bryan Wires John son of California. 9 l^fi Hv TENSION IS NOT S O 6REAT Postponement of Action on Pending Measures Somewhat Relieves the Situation. J%-1 Washington, April 20.—Secretary Bryan telegraphed to Governor John son of California, requesting him to withhold his signature from any anti alien land legislation passed by 4be California legislature which might be in .violation of treaties between the United States and Japan- Secretary Bryan declined to make' public the text of his telegram.

The postponement by jtbe California legislature of the alien land bills hns relieved tire tension here slightly,, though every moment until the btlh» are again taken up will be utilized in exchange of message* between' Washington and Sacramento, and oth er points in California whene influen tial officials reside who may be able to exert some influence upon the course of legislation at the state capitol. President Wilson and Secretary Brj an make no secret of the fact that though they are precluded from inter fering officially they are privately aL dresfcing themselves to individuals to get the amelioration of the features of the pending Bills offensive ta.the Jap anese government.

The failure of the Japanese govern ment so far to issue a decree con firming the treaty right »f* American* who own land in Japan- also may be. an important faetor in. the negotia tions which may he expected to fol low the enactment of tbe California legislation. ,* HEETER HELD MOT 6UILTY Educator Acquitted of* Charges-.
