NEW MEASURES
AIMED AT JAPS

SACRAMENTO, January 22.-In ad-
dition to the adoption Of the resolu-
ton this morning which fays Roose-
Welt for his view on the Japanese
question, another measure was intro
duced which, If adopted, will give edu-
cational boards the power to exclude
japanese from the schools Of the State.
Assemblyman Grove L. Johnson in
serted in the resolution a measure
which aims to prevent aliens not en-
titled to citizenship from acquiring or
occupying real property Sr holding a
lease on real property for more than
year.
The object of this measure is to stop
the immigration of japanese by max
ing it almost impossible for them to
establish agricultural or mercantile in
terests in this State. BY continual
moving year by year their chances for
long residence in the State would be
greatly curtailed. .... n

TERRIFIC BATTLE

GRAPHIC DESCRIPTION OF A BAT
TIE NOW RAGING IN THE MA
XXI DISTRICT.
CFrom ON War Correspondent.l

(From Our War Correspondent
A battle is now raging between the
fish imported to annihilate the mosquito
the
larvae and the adult mosquitoes. The
mosquitoes attack the young fish fry.
At present the mosquito has got the
best of the engagement as is evident
from the immense reinforcements ar
irving nightly. This is particularly
noticeable in Allen Lake and it's tri-
butaries, where the small number Of
fish visible is commented on. A flank
movement by the fish is expected a.
gainst their winged enemy.
Our sympathies are of course with
the fish as their winged foes ravage the
whole district and give no quarter to
old or young, human or beat.

To the vast majority or ferry pas
sengers something to read" means a
newspaper. A good many professional
men who work IN San francisco and
sleep in Oakland find that If they don't t
read their papers on the ferry boats
they can't snatch time to read them at
all. Then, too, the morning trip gives
you splendid chance to get the gist
OF the days news crisp and early, and
a perusal Of the evening paper on the
trip back affords suggestions for table
talk and evening clothes gossip. About
the noon hour, for obvious reasons, the
popularity of the newspaper wanes.
But not only the busy, preoccupied
ferry passengers utilize the news

with a superfiuity of time on their
hands and to men and women engaged
in the perennial quest of something

One might think that, next to the
newspaper. the popular magazine is
the favorite pabulum of ferry boat
readers. Observation proves other

that they sell briskly at the news

commuters appear to regard the mag

get from the two rooms will be enough
to fill their simple needs. They are
a worthy class. They have given their
lives to the building Of the city and
they deserve all the aid we can give
them. In the majority of these cases
the old people lived comfortably In

old man would walk out to the cor
