I would not have done so if it had not been necessary. These are important days at the capital and I shall hurry back." Mr. Bryan declined to make any statement in connection with the coming conference with Governor Johnson and the California Legislature.

"My embassage," he said in answer to a question, "as far as my memory goes, is without precedent. We may create precedents in our conference, but it would not do to speak of them In advance." That the secretary will have a hospitable welcome in California was shown today in five invitations he received here by telegraph to address Former Ambassador From Great Britain Refers to Friendship Between Countries. BY ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK, April 25.

Secretary of State Bryan's peace proposal laid before the diplomatic corps at Washington yesterday has all the simplicity characteristic of the great idea," says the "Evening Standard," today, "but whether It is practical only time can show.

TOKIO, Japan, April 25. Satisfaction is generally expressed here over the decision of President Wilson to send Secretary of State Bryan to Sacramento, to consult with the legislators on the question of the proposed land ownership legislation.

The majority of the Japanese newspapers adopt a more tranquil tone today, but the widely-circulated "Osaka Main-ichl," an independent newspaper, in a warlike spirit points to the Japanese fleet as "No toy," and says that if forced to action by discriminatory legislation, it is capable of vindicating the national honor. PRAISE WILSON'S EFFORTS. NEW YORK, April 25. The Japan society at a meeting of its executive committee today framed a message whic was dispatched to President Wilson, supporting him "in all he is doing to maintain the honor of the Nation" in his attitude toward California's proposed anti-Japanese legislation. The alien land bill, the message Ignores treaty obligations of the United States and is directed against a friendly nation that has "scrupulously observed its eugae-ments in this country," and raises a grave issue.

California's bill was deplored In speech, letter and telegram at the meeting. Communications were read by Lindsay Russell, president of the society, from Andrew Carnegie. Jacob H. Schiff. Charles W.

Eliot, president emeritus of Harvard university; President David Starr Jordan, of Leland Stanford university; former Mayor Seth Low and Lioyd C. Griscom, former ambassador to Italy, all executive members. BRYAN WILL HASTEN BACK. CHICAGO, April 25. "I shall go direct to Sacramento and will return to Washington as soon as I possibly can," said Secretary of State Bryan here tonight, as he boarded his train.

The chamber of rnerce of San Francisco, the Cc com- Common- of a theater and asked for a public speech. Mr Bryan said he had been obliged to decline the invitations from San Francisco, as there was no likelihood that he would be able to speak there.

There was more chance that he would speak in Sacramento, but he could not make an engagement. "I replied to the gentlemen in Sacramento that I had been dispatched by the President to confer with the governor and the Legislature of their State," Mr. Bryan said, "and under those circumstances, while I appreciated their invitation, I did not deem it proper for me to make any speaking engagements." Mr. Bryan added that as representative of the President he had never doubted a cordial welcome from California. The secretary was accompanied only by his secretary, Robert Rose.

While In this city, Mr. Bryan had T)rier conferences with Senator Lewis, William L. O'Connell, Governor Dunne's representative, Mayor Harrison and several other Democratic leaders. CHINDA ISSUES STATEMENT. WASHINGTON, April 23.

The Japanese embassy tonight authorized the following statement in response to requests for interviews with the ambassador. Viscount Chinda: "The Japanese embassy does not consider it opportune to announce its views respecting the California land bill. It can only express Its ardent hope that the fiUffclion will be brought to a speedy and satisfactory settlement without impairing l.i any way the long-cherished senttmer.ts cf mutual regard and jtood-neighborliness which have at all times so conspicuously marked relations between the two countries and which ar-j so dearly htld by people on both sides of the Pacific.

MISS NIELSEN AIDS CHORUS IN CONCERT Large Audience Manifests Approval With Unstinted Applause. With Miss Alice Neilsen, soprano, as the assisting soloist, the Pittsburgh Male Chorus, James Stephen Martin, conductor, gave its final concert of the season 1p Carnegie Musle hall last evening. The audience was very large and, through much applause which at times did not end until encores had been given, manifested enthusiastic approval of the program. Miss Neilsen, who has appeared in Pittsburgh a number of times during the past few years, is a great favorite here.

Those in the audience last evening who were not aware of this fact before the program opened not have been left in further ignorance after Miss Nielsen's first appearance. The welcome given her was unmistakable In its heartiness. After the chorus had sung Von der Stucken's "A Song of May" Miss Nielsen was heard in Tosca's aria, "Vissi d'Arte," which she sang with a good understanding of its emotional content and with the command of vocal technique which characterizes all her work. The upper register of Miss Nielsen's voice is so beautiful that one is inclined always to be somewhat disappointed when the tones of the middle register are heard, for they lack the resonance of the upper notes. But Miss Nielsen overcomes this natural defect to a certain degree through her excellent vocal method.

The rich human quality of her voice is exceptionally gratifying. In res-ponse to an encore after the Tosca number she gave an aria from "Madam Butterfly." The remainder or the first part of the program consisted of Max Bruch's "Frithiof" in which the chorus, Miss Neilson, Mr. Davenny. baritone, a quar tet from the chorus, Mr. Edwards pianist, and Mr.

Fleer, organist, were heard, Miss Neilson taking the role of "lnge-borg" and Mr. Davenny that of "Frithiof." This is a very dramatic work which sets forth the unhappy history of Frithiof, the bold, who loved Ingeborg, daughter of King Bele. Ir.geborg is forced to marry the aged king, Ring, the enemy of her father so that peace between the two rules may be restored. Frithiof journeys far, performing wonderful deeds, but finally is united to his beloved through the death of Kins Ring. A highly effective portion of the score reals with Frithiof 's destruction of the sacred temple of Baldur when he hears of In-geborg's marriage and sees his betrothal ring on the hand of Baldur's image.

The chorus acquitted itself well in this work which is r'ch in beautiful and dramatic harmonies. Mr. Davenny won applause in his role. Miss Neilson sang the part of the unhappy but obedient daughter with genuine pathos and the accompanists sus- talned their parts admirably. The second part of the program consisted of miscellaneous numbers by the chorus and a group of songs by Miss Neilsen.

J- M. FLOOD DAMAGED PENNSY LINES WEST $3,610,000 Statement Issued by Railroad Shows Recent Deluge Affected 218 Miles of Track. Samuel Rea. president of the Pennsyl vania Railroad Company, yesterday gave out the following statement: "It is now possible to state the extent and to estimate the cost of the damage to the Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburgh caused by the recent floods in the Middle West. Twenty-four bridges were destroved, and 50 were damaged, covering a total of about a mile and half of single track.

The or replacing and repairing these bridges will be about $1,145,000. In order that the movement of trains should not have to await the permanent replacement of bridges, it was necessary to construct immediately an amount of temporary trestle work equivalent to 4.28 miles on single track at a cost of about $362,000. The length of road required repairs amounted to 163.39 miles, aftecting 218 miles of track. The estimated cost of these repairs will amount to some Including the above and adding the cost of damage to stations, equipment, telegraph lines and other property, the total less on all Pennsylvania lines amounts to $3,610,000, divided among the various companies as follows. Pennsylvania Company $1,640,000 Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Chicago and St.

Action in the case of Charles Glover, the Washington banker whose attack on Representative Simms, of Tennessee, is under investigation by a House committee, will be delayed until after the House has disposed of the tariff bill. This decision was reached by Majority Leader Underwood today, after a conference with Representatives Davis, of West Virginia Covington, of Maryland, and other members of the special committee. The report of the committee will be presented to the House tomorrow. It will take a decided stand for the proposition that the- House has the power to protect its privileges by punishing for contempt an assault on a member for words spoken on the floor in debate.
