CHEYENNE WELLS TIMES H. Y. Tarwater, Publisher. CHEYENNE WELLS - COLORADO YOU CAN BAR THE JAPANESE BUT DO NOT DO 80, 18 BRYAN'S PLEA; ALIEN BILL G0E8, 18 REPLY. DELAY ACTION ON BILL CALIFORNIA LEGISLATORS QUIZ SECRETARY; REJECT ADVICE ON LEGISLATION. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Sacramento, Calif., April 29.—Cali fornia, In the fullness of her right as a state may enact a rigid land law barring Orientals from ownership, but such action would be against the earn est wish of the national administra tion. This is the substance of the mes sage of William Jennings Bryan, sec retary of state and personal represen tative of President-'iWfyison, delivered to a secret conference attended only by Governor Johnson, Lieutenant Gov ernor Walluce and the -120 members of the California Legislature. Tfie. ' impression prevailed here, 'when- tie conference adjourned, that the resolve of the majority leaders previously announced, to enact a bill specifically debarring "aliens ineligi ble to citizenship” from owning laud In California remained unchanged. Governor Johnson indicated this with the representative of the Presi dent. Secretary Bryan arrived ih Sacra mento at G o'clock Monday morning. With his consent plans were laid for an immediate hearing and shortly af ter 11 o'clock the first Besslon of the conference began. Those who expected Secretary Bry-' an to expound a new theory of states' rights were disappointed, as were those who expected predictions of war. Advice, in the name of President Wilson, was all Mr. Bryan had to of fer, and the paramount question here is whether such advice will overcome the previously .announced determina tion of the Progressive majority to en act an anti-alien land holding law along the lines already agreed upon. Secretary Bryan reaffirmed the state's right to act in a manner it saw fit, but suggested several alternatives to the passage of a bill restricting aliens "Ineligible to citizenship" bas ing his reason on the board founda tion of public polioy. Briefly, the al ternatives in the order in which they were suggested are as follows: 1. Delay immediate action and al low the State Department to try to ac complish the ends desired, by means of a new treaty with Jnpan. 2. Delay immediate action end ap point a committee to investigate the subject of alien land ownership and act in conjunction with the President in securing relief. 3. Enact a law similar to the stat ute in Illinois which permits aliens to hold land for a period not exceeding six years and applies alike to all aliens. 4. Enact a law Bimilar to the fed eral statute governing land ownership In the District of Columbia, which is a general law applying to all aliens. Of these alternatives, it may safely be said, according to leaders in the legislature, that the last two are out of the question. Many Democrats favor turning the matter over to the State Department, while the Progressive majority appar ently remains unchanged in support of a bill that would apply its restrictions to Orientals alone. "War!" Cries Congressman Sisson. Washington.—Having been one of the leaders in the successful fight to prevent appropriations for two battle ships in the last session of Congress, Representative Thomas U.
