NTHONY BELIEVES
IN PROTECTION
CALL HEADQUARTERS,
1907 EIGHTH STREET.

SACRAMENTO, Jan. IS.-Senator
Marc Anthony has tired of temporizing
with fur seal poachers and peIagic fish
ers. He would have the President as
sumo by immediate proclamation or
declaration protection of the fur seals
on the open seas as we'll as on the
Aleutian Island fisheries and employ
the navy Of the United States to make
his protectorate good.
A joint resolution introduced bv the
San Francisco Senator yesterday called
attention to the Illegal and inhuman
destruction of the seal herds and the
corresponding financial loss suffered by
the people of the Pacific Coast States.
He indorsed everything the President
said in his recent message on the sub
ject and by way Of showing Roosevelt
that Californians bear no in-win and
are at all times ready to support him
in a righteous cause, Anthony wanted
the California Legislature to advise the
President to throw caution to the
national complications and declare him
self master and friend of all the seals
high and low, but more especially
af1oat.
That this declaration may be of full
force and effect Anthony would have q
sufficient number of armored cruisers
dispatched to the haunts of the seal
simultaneously with the extension OF
the Monroe Doctrine to the herds
The resolutions specify armored cruis-
ers. but do not forbid the assignment
of either battleships or torpedo boats.

Government Claims
Interest in Schools

Preparations for carrying the Aoki
case-destined to take its place among
the famous actions Of the century
through the Supreme Court Of Califor-
MIA and thence, for final decision, to
the Supreme Court Of the United
States. are moving ahead. The peti-
ton for the writ Of mandate to com
pei the admission or the Japanese lad
selected for the test case has been set
by the Supreme Court for hearing on
April IS. In view of the great i'm
portance of the case, the court will
hear Il in bank, but, no matter which
way II goes. appeal to the highest
tribunal in the land Will be taken. and
on its decision IL may be that peace
or war viii hang.
United States District Attorney Dew
lin said yesterday that the Govern
ments position in the controversy was
plain and that so far as was within fits
power II would enforce its treaty obli-
cations. His position was outlined for
him by the higher officials at Washing
ton and he awaited the oncome of the
defense.
city Attorney Burke said yesterday
that he had not been supplied with
copies OF the pleadings filed by the
Government and. in consequence, could
not say what line Of defense he would
follow He said. however. that in all
probability his defense would involve
a defense of State rights and that he
was authorized under the constitution
Of the United States and it's own. con-
stftution to regulate its school affairs
without Federal interference
Regarding these lines OF defense,
which have been suggested before,
United States District Attorney Devlin
said the Government had a further
interest in school affairs that would
be apparent upon cursory examination.
The lands OF California had been ceded
to the State by the Government, he
said. for specific purposes. and If even
impliedly one OF the conditions i'm
posed on the State was that IL should
observe the treaties. which are naught
but contracts the Federal Government
might enter into with foreign powers
In this manner the Government would
meet the state rights" question, and,
in the opinion Of Devlin. with every
prospect OF ultimate victory.

CALL HEADQUARTERS,
1OO7 EIGHTH STREET.

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 1S.-The Assem-
bly, today received thirty-two new bills,
most of them providing for minor
amendments in the codes. Assemblyman
Beckett's joint resolution for the inves-
tigation Of the coal shortage was called
up, but in the absence of the author
Drew Of Fresno asked that action be
deferred until Monday, and his request
was granted.
Grove Johnson. offered a resolution
criticising the action of the national
administration on the Japanese school
question. He asked for delay, after de-
claring, that he himself was ready to
vote upon 1T, and the Assembly made
the resolution a special order for 1850
O'Clock Monday morning.
Among the bills offered today was
one by E. S. Birdsall of Auburn making
IL misdemeanor to increase the price
Of commodities beyond reasonable
bounds. Combinations having that OBJ
ject IN view are also placed under the
ban The penalty prescribed is fine
Of from $500 to $1,000 or imprisonment
from six months to a year for each Of
fense. BirdsalIs idea is to alleviate
conditions caused by the unprecedented
increase in the cost OF living.
Birdsall also offered a bill appropri-
ating $4,000 for a public highway
from a point on the Lake Tahoe road

animation of school children at least

N. w. Thompson of Los Angeles In
troduced measure declaring noxious
weeds on public streets a nuisance and
creating a lien on private property for
the cost Of their abatement
Edward /. Butler of San Rafael asks
that grand juries be empowered to ap-
point such detectives, special officers
or other employees as they shall deem
necessary in the discharge of their du-
ties.
n. A. Cornish of Alturas, hundreds Of
miles from the sea, would forbid the
purchase, sale, taking. killing or pos
session of Holsters or crawhsh until
September Is, 1909. He also asks that
the shipment of dried shrimps and
shrimp shells out OF the State be made
a nisdemeanor.
A. NJ. Drew OF Fresno introduced a
constitutional amendment taking the
tax on mortgages. His argument is
that the present law had proved a
failure.

Governor GiIIett
Explains Position

I have directed that the Attorney
General OF the State intervene, on be-
half Of the people, in the litigation in
volving the right Of japanese pupils TO
attend. without segregation, the COM
mon schools OF San Francisco. as deem
this the most important action in its
line since the Dred Scott case" said
Governor Gillett at the ST. Francis last
evening. That the case may be pre-
sented in its every phase; that when
the final decision is announced no man,
be he American or Japanese, can say
that points material TO either side of
the issue were neglected, have direct
ed that the legal machinery Of the State
be put in motion with this and no other
object IN view.
'aOmcially I have expressed no opin-
ion on the question, and my directions
TO the Attorney General are not that
either side OF the case shall be aided.
but that the law as it is found shall
be placed before the court. What po-
sition the Attorney General will take in
the premises / am unable to say, but 1t
is quite probable that through him the
state viii appear as amica curiae. AS
the friend of the court the State Will
be able to present to the fullest meas
ure the views Of the people of Califor-
MIA and Of San Francisco in particular.
The effect OF the decision cannot be
overestimated. There is no question
but that the final say will be had by
the Supreme Court of the United
States For the State TO stand idly by
while this great battle was being
fought would not only rob it of its dig
nifty, but might result in irreparable
injury to the people Of one country or
the other. That the State may, so far
as IL is in its power, prevent such a
condition, it will take an active part
and remain at the front Of the litiga-
tion until the court of last resort has
entered its final decision"

demeanor by the provisions OF bill
introduced by Senator Cartwright, and
that the measure may not be open to
suspicion as a sack opener the des-
ignated sports either for gain or
amusement are placed under the ban.
The expected has happened. The
army Of attaches has grown to such
proportions that neither Senators nor
officers have anything like a clear
idea Of who is and who is not on the
payroll, beyond the unsatisfactory
story told by a mere name. AS to the
identity OF the persons attached to
those names and the payroll all is In
confusion. Senator Rambo and one of
his stalwarts are confronted by most
distressing case of mixed identities.
Rambo is sponsor for one James e
Fitzgerald Of San Mateo; some other
Senator, identity not disclosed. has at
tached the name Of John Z. Fitzgerald
to the payroll. Both the Fitzgeralds
sign their names with their initials
only. John f. Fitzgerald has gotten
both pay checks. IT Is a mere matter
OF signing. anyhow. The sergeant at
arms cannot be expected to know all
the members OF the army supposed to
be under his command. No one pre-
tends TO believe that the man VINO
got both checks does not think they
belong to him.
Attaches take cheerfully the BoOo
things the Senate makes the State pro-
vide. Consequently the other Fitz-
gerald does not contemplate any legal
process. He and Senator Rambo have
perfected an arrangement whereby
they are TO stand watch turn about at
the sergeant at arms Office com
mencing the day before the checks are
made out and on the next pay day get
both checks for the San Mateo man.
EDUCATION FOR VOTERS
Popular education in the matter Of
proposed constitutional amendments is
provided by a bill introduced yester-
day by Senator Curtin. 1t has real
merit and should receive the most re-
spectful consideration. 1t provides
that at least twenty FIVE days before
any general election at which a con-
stitutional amendment is to be voted
upon county clerks shall prepare
pamphlets showing the purpose Of the
proposed amendment and containing
comparative statement of the exist
ing constitutional provisions and the
effect OF the proposed amendment
These pamphlets are 10 be printed at
the State Printing ONCE and one and
a half times many copies as there
are registered voters are to be issued TO
the county clerks, who are charged
with mailing one copy TO each regis
tered voter Other forms Of official
publicity for proposed constitutional
amendments are interdicted.

GROWING
 GIRLS NEED
 PINK PILLS.
The Tonic Necessary for Their Proper Development and to In- sure a Healthful and Happy Life-Read this Statement
 of an Iowa Woman.

There is form of anRmia, or blood lessnesS, that often affitcts growing girls, that has been called the an8mia of development. It requires care and proper attention as neglect may cause life of unhappiness and suffering There is also danger of consumption, especially if dry, hacking cough is noticed. The disease is in the blood and pr Williams Pink Pills are par ticularly we'll adapted to cure it, We have yet to hear of a case in which these blood-making pills have been tried without success.
 Miss Esther E Durbin of 2l24 Main street. Davenport, Iowa, says: "When I was a school girl I became afflicted with anamia and grew so weak that I could scarcely walk. There was crav- ing for starch and I ate great deal of it. I was pale and thin, had no am- bition and was subject to hysterical attacks. My breath was so short that I would have to sit down and rest on the way up the school steps. I would fall asleep during a recitation in spite of my efforts to keep awake and al last had to give up going to school
 Sometimes it seemed that my heart would jump out of my body. Amos, every thing I ate hurt my stomach and I had bladder trouble that caused me to bloat and puff up. ] had two doctors during the two years before I began using pr Williams Pink Pills and at last they told m, mother that they could do nothing fol me.
 i "Our druggists recommended D Williams Pink Pills and when take them about three weeks I noticed { change for the better. AltoR ethe I used them for about a year and they gave me new life and health wher every other means failed. I have re commended the pills to many other and am always glad to do so.''
