FOR TIE AEIEI Protests to Governor Johnson Against Unpaid Claims and is Informed That None Exist; The Kern Case. SACRAMENTO, April 1. Governor Johnson yesterday received a telegram from Secretary of State Bryan containing representations from the British ambassador concerning c'aims that British subjects, school teachers in California, had been denied their salaries because of their non-citizenship.

It is understood that Secretary Bryan's te'egram contained a protest against reported discharges of California school teachers. A message was telegraphed in reply at onoe to Washington by Governor Johnson. Although the governor declined to comment upon the contents of either message, it is reported that he replied to Bryan that no teacher's claims were unpaid on the ground stated so far as he has been able to learn on investigation. The governor, it Is said, declared that the law barring alien teachers from the public schools had been on the statute books since 1901 and add-ded that bills modifying the law were now pending before the legislature. The principal bills on the subject are by Senator Jones and Assembly-man Gebhart, both providing that any alien who hag declared intention of becoming a citizen shall not be barred.

Tbe Jones bill has been reported out of committee with a recommendation that it be pasted. It was said in the governor's office that Secretary Bryan's communication concerning the British ambassador's request was directed chiefly to a question of the alleged withholding of alien teachers salaries. No Unpaid Claims Exist After a careful investigation it was firmly asserted that no cases of unpaid c'aims existed, a'though the reports of the state superintendent of public Instruction showed that fou alien teachers, two in Medocmo county, one In Kern county and one in Santa Barbara county, have been removed from their positions on the ground of non-citizenship under the act of 1901. Situation Arose In Kern County It wag said in committee when the Jones bill was under discussion that the present situation had arisen in Kern county, where oponents of a public school teacher, not a citizen, had discovered and invoked the forgotten statute of 1901. An appeal was taken to the state superintendent and when referred by him to the attorney general the latter declared it valid and in force, although no cases of its application had been known up to that time.

SACRAMENTO, April 1 The most important piece of anti-liquor legislation of the session.

Senator Butlers dry zone bill, was defeated yesterday in the senate in the closest and most fiercely contested battle the legislature has experienced this year. The vote was 19 to 19, 21 ayes being necessary for passage. Final roll call came late in the day after five hours of sizzling debate, strategic maneu-er and legislative finesse. As soon as adjournment was taken last evening after the 19 to 19 vote had been recorded leaders of the opposing sides in what is regarded as the big wet and dry fight of the session began an active campaign, Butler and his supporters seeking to win over sufficient senators to pass the bill and the other side fighting to hold the opposition together with unbroken ranks. The word went out last night that Strobridge and Rush, the two senators missing at rolleall yesterday, were opposed to the bill, but there wag no certain information and both sides were claiming them.

Some of Butler'3 supporters spread a report that two who had voted agMnst the bill had begun to weaken and were likely to change their votes. It was said that tu hill would take precedence over all other business and the issue be settled "'thout further delay, but it was believed that Butler would attempt a postponement If any senators were likely be absent on the critical vote in his effort to overturn his defeat of yesterday. Opponents of the bill wer more emphatic in their confidence than its supporters and some senators Lo voted for it admitted they consld-red its defeat probable SIRS. POSTOV IMPROVED Mrs. K.

Negotiations Again Saved From Disaster; China Waives' Jurisdiction Over Immigrants: in South Manchuria in Part.1 Received Over The Mail's Leased Wire. PEKIN, April 1. -The negotiations between Japan and China looking to the acceptance by the republic of the demands presented by Tokio shortly I after the Japanese occupation of Kiaoi Chow were again saved from disaster' today by the fact that the Chinese! statesmen made further concessions, Japan.

Tho Chinese offered to) waive entirely the question of Chinese i jurisdiction over Japanese immigrants! to South Manchuria, except in cases! involving land ownership. M. Hioki, the Japanese, undertook to submit thisi proposal to Tokio. Articles II, III, IV and of group, 5 were presented without any offer! of modification by Japan. (These ar- tides provide for the ownership of land by Japaq In tjie interior of China; for the employment of Japane-e policemen on certain disignated Chinese police forces; that China purchase munitions of war from Japan and that China grant Japan certain railroad concessions in the eastern portion oft the central part of the republic.)
