1907 EIGHTH STREET.

SACRAMENTO, Feb 1S.-The fight
for free textbooks is likely to resolve
itself into a religious controversy. Two
constitutional amendments providing
for free books for public school pupils
have been introduced, one by Senator
Mccartney. closely following the rec
concentrations of the State Federation
of Labor, and another not far off which
was given Introduction in the Senate
by Willis of San Bernardino and in the
Assembly by Estudillo of Riverside.
The Estudillo amendment passed the
lower house last week. Immediately
thereafter Senators got into communi-
cation with secular authorities, and
Father Bryan Of Napa and Father Null
ligan of San Francisco came here to
argue that the pupils OF parochial
schools should not be excluded. AS a
result of agitation against the amend
ment in its present form, the San Fran
cisco Labor Council, at it's last meet
ing, took action in favor of an addi-
tional clause including all primary and
grammar schools in California in the
free distribution of textbooks. This
would take in not only the parochial
schools but every private school in the
State.
Protestant clergymen are expected to
take a militant interest in the amend
ment in its present form The Senate
committee on education meets tomor-
row to hear argument on the proposed
legislation.
Opponents of the original amend
ment will present their views and the
other side may also be given a hearing
at that time.

Congressional delegation do not like to
talk for publication on the deal just
closed. They fear the political effect
may be serious if they should commit
themselves to the arrangement and it
should prove unsatisfactory. They are
waiting. to learn how San Francisco re-
ceives the news that Japanese must be
returned TO white schools in return for
the expected exclusion Of Japanese
coming from Hawaii

Board the California delegation is
ready to point out that Schmitz and

that they consulted with Schmitz be-

dent approving the act.
He has not signed 1t yet, but is ex-
pected to do so tomorrow. An execu-
tive order is looked for directing the

tions for the enforcement of the amend
ment.
Several members of Schmitz's party
left tonight and the others, including 2

HUNTING BY HOUNDS
GIVEN ANOTHER RUB
Amendment That Would
End It Entirely Comes
Near Adoption

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 1S.-Price of So
noma described the cruelties of hunting
by telephone in pleading for an amend
ment to the game laws restricting the
trailing of deer by hounds in the Senate
today. This matter, it was supposed
had been decided for good last week
when an amendment submitted by
Walker of Santa Clara, limiting the
time hounds might tran deer to three
hours, was adopted after heated de-
bate. When the bill of Lynch of Lynch
station. adding new sections to the
Penal Code relating to fish and game
came up today for final passage, how
ever, Price sought to introduce another
amendment restricting the trailing of
deer by hounds to five minutes. This,
he admitted, would virtually make the
sport prohibitive
Price told in detail how sportsmen in
the mountains kept in communication
with all the points of deer trails by
telephone and were apprised of the
chase so accurately that they could
always be in at the killing when the
hounds ran their quarry down. The
practice, he said, was against the ethics
of craftsmanship and reduced deen
hunting to scientific butchery.
When a vote was taken on the Price
amendment it stood 16 to 16. Lieuten-
ant Governor Porter declared the vote
lost, whereupon Carter rose to a point
OF order and demanded that the former
vote. Porter voted aye" and Walker
then arose to point of order and said
the decision of the chair had been an
nounced and could not be changed.
Porter promised TO take the matter
under advisement
When the Senate reconvened after the
noon recess he Sustained Walker and
announced that the amendment was
lost

House Discussion
On Coolie Clause

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-The confer

was accepted today by the House-ayes

After It was read Burnett of Ala

Japanese coolie provision and that re-

He said the first put a big stick
into the Presidents hands that he
might WELD over any State.
Williams of Mississippi supported
Burnetts contention with the state
ment that neither House had had a
chance to discuss the provision and he
wanted to address the House on the
side of the people Of California
Speaker Cannon advised Williams
that politics should not be considered
when point of order was in question.
BY a vote the point of order was
dropped.
When the report was taken up for
discussion Williams desired to warn
the people of California that the views
of the President were not their views.
He said the President had already rec
commended naturalization of the Japa-
nese. The speaker wanted this to re-

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1s-Followine

They are also desirous of keeping on the best
possible terms with Japan and Of doing nothing
Wh1ch may break the ancient friendship between
that country and the United States. 1t has

ana now is one of the chief obstacles to achiev-
lng the purpose California really has in view.
thls purpose being to secure By honorable and
amlcable agreement with japan the mutual ex-
elusion from the countries of the laborers,
skllied and unskfiled, of each country.
This earnest desire of the people Of California.
and, we may add in our belief. the people Of the
entire Pacific Coast TO check the coming Of lana
nese laborers and our entire Willingness and de-
sire that Japan should similarly put stop ia

skilled, 10 Japan. springs from no motive other
than TO bring about commercial and industrial
conditions to the satisfactory understanding of
the two friendly nations
Events have convinced us however that manv
OF the japanese laborers who come hither are
really brought over to this country IN violation
of the contract labor law, and that the well
being of orr wage workers imperatively demands
that immigration of japanese laborers TO fhis
country, skilled and unskiled. shall cease.
against which we feel that in all probability
there will have TO be similar legislation, owing
TO the fact that we convinced that the la
borers who come here from these countries also
really come In violation of the contract labor
law.
We have every reason TO believe that the ad-
ministrstion now shares and that it will share
our way of looking at the problem and that the
result we deslre--the cessation Of the immigra-
tion Of Japanese laborers. skilled and unskilled
TO this country--wlll speedily be achieved.
A striking proof of the administration's atti-
tude is shown by the passage Of the immigration
bill which will bar out Japanese coming hither
by way of Hawaii. Mexico, Canada and the ca
nal by enforcing limitations which Japan
voluntarily puts into the passports issued by her
Government.
More than twothirds Of the Japanese laborers
who come hfther come from Hawaii Mexico and
Canada and, in Judgment, almost all so
coming really reach these shores in violation of
the contract labor law. although such fact would
be well nigh impossible to prove In court Of
law.
We are satisfied from our numerous inter
views with the President that in the event the
amendment to the immigration bill introduced

RoLLEY OBJECTS TO SALE
Says Real Estate Syndicate Wants Los
Angeles Normal school Site

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 1S.-Charges
that real estate men had pooled in
terests to buy the Los Angeles Normal
School site for 100000 and deprive the
State Of a desirable piece of property
were made today by Rolley of Eureka
when the bill authorizing the sale of
that institution came up and was
passed by the Senate Rolley drew at
tention to the fact that former Gov
ernor Pardee had opposed the sale of
the property in a message, declaring
that the site might be needed for a
court building. Rolley said
Two years ago q similar bill was introduced
In the Legislature. The real estate syndicate
then offered 100000 for the property Now it
offers $500, 900. II the property has appreciated
so much In two years. II is reasonable To. assume
that Il viii be worth at least 81 600 900 in Eve
or SIX years from now. Why, 1 ask, should the
State want TO sell such property7
Carter of Los Angeles, who fathered
the bill, admitted that Rolley was right
in saying that a pool had been formed
to buy the property but said that
its sale would be of benefit to the
State.
