BY Associated Press
SACRAMENTO, March 4.-Governor
Gillett will sign the capital removal bill.
Whatever doubt there may have been
on this point was set at rest when in an
interview today the governor practically
sgnified his intention of signing Sena-
tor Lukens' bill as soon as it reaches
him, which will probably be tomorrow
II have not given the matter any Of
fetal consideration" said he, land have
not definitely decided one way or the
other, but can see no good reason for
not placing my signature to the
measure.
"It would avail nothing to veto it, as
the bill was passed by more than two
thi Ids majority in the Legislature, and
by the same vote would pass over my
head, regardless of my disapproval.
"Tne advocates of a change of the
seat of government to Berkeley have
won in the legislature and I do not be-
ueve that / should attempt to thwart
the will of so great majority of the
lawmaking body.
"1'hen too, it is question that sooner
or later will crop up again and must pe
voted upon by the people some time,
and it will cost the state nothing to
vote upon it and settle it now.
GiIIett Is Neutral
$50 far as my stand on the question
has been concerned have remained
strictly neutral and have taken neither
one side or the other Parties from
both sides have been to see me and have
sought to draw me into the controversy,
but have steadfastly refused to allow
my name to be used or to exert any
influence one way or the other. 1t is
but formal matter to sign the bill
and submit it to the people of the state,
who will decide the question of where
they want the capital.
1T is said that a large fund is being
raised in Sacramento to carry on n
systematic campaign in all parts of the
state against the removal of the cap
ital"
The assembly this morning refused
to reconsider the passage of the bill.
O'Brien of Sacramento wanted to post
pone the matter of reconsideration. until
tomorrow, but Walsh of Oakland de-
manded that it be settled once for all,
and forced the issue to vote. 1t stood

to Counteract What He Terms
an Outrage Against
Japan
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.

a leader this morning, protests against
the persistent determination of the
people of California to persecute and
exclude the Japanese from that state"

ANTI-RAcE TRACK
HILL NOW CONSIDERED
TO BE DOWN AND OUT
By Associated Press.

SACRAMENTO, Cal, March 4.-The
senate today practically killed Eshle-
mans anti-raee track measure by re-
fusing to recall it from the committee
on public morals, and defeated Miller's
Texas car law" bill, after a debate
which took up almost the entire fore
noon session.
The senate also refused to reconsid-
er the passage of Wright's bill making
it a felony for newspapers to criticize
juries and comment upon criminal
trials while in progress.
Senator Bell attempted to force the
anti-race track bill onto the senate
floor by introducing a resolution re-
calling it from committee. The reso-
luton was refused adoption by vote
of II ayes and 22 noes, which practi-
cally means that the measure is dead.
Bell stated that Chairman Irish of
the committee on public morals had
promised to report the bill out, but had
failed to do so. He then saw the rank
ing senator of the committee (Leavitt)
who said that there was no use in call
ing meeting of the committee and told
Bell to go ahead and put in your reso-
luton"
Bell Reads Resolution
Wolfe made point of order that Bell
was talking on the merits of the bill
instead of on the policy of withdrawal
from committee. There was a dis
position shown to shut Bell off. but the
latter persisted and read resolution
adopted by the Los Angeles republican
county convention instructing their
senator's to work for the passage of
the bill.
Leavitt contented himself with re-
marking, "It's an old chestnut. Ev-
erybody understands that l am OPP
posed to the withdrawal of the bill"
Z Senator Miller this morning called up
his car BILL counterpart of the Texas
car law, providing penalty of S25 a
day on railroads for failure to furnish
cars after they had been ordered and
the same penalty for shippers who fail
ed to unload cars within forty-eight
hours. A long debate followed
Miller stated that in times of car
shortage the railroads took their cars
to the states which provided such a
penalty. cited an instance when the
Southern Pacific took 300 oil cars from
Bakersfield to Texas when oil men In
Bakersfield could not get cars.
Charges Discrimination
He charged the railroad with dis
elimination by furnishing the Asso-
ciatsd Oil company, fifty-one per cent
of which is alleged to be owned by the
Southern Pacific. with cars when the
Independent oil producers could get
none.

GUARANTEED STOMACH REMEDY
Bowditch, Webster & Co., Augusta, Geo.
w. Dorr Of Waterville, Me-, Will Re-
fund Money If Mio-na Fails to Cure.

You may ask why it is that Mi-o-na
stomach tablets arc sold by Bowditch,
Webster & Co, Augusta, Geo. w. Dorr,
Watervile, Me, under a guarantee to
refund the money unless they cure,
when no other treatment for stomach
troubles Is sold in this manner
The answer is simple and conclusive.
Other medicines for stomach troubles
merely digest the food, while Mi-o-na
strengthens the whole digestive sys-
TEN so that it soon becomes able to
care for all the food that is eaten.
If you do not use your arm or IL g 1or
a month the muscles become napDy
and weak and you have to resort TO
artificial help. 1t is the same way with
the stomach muscles. If they are not
used, they become so weak that IL Is
necessary to continue using digestive
with the food you eat
On the other hand. when you Use
Ii-o-na. your stomach soon grows so
strong that you can give up the use Oh
medicine.
Ni-o-na costs soc. q box and does
more real good than dozen boxes vi
ordinary digestive tablets. The PROOF
of this is shown in the fact tnat II
s,uarantee. absolute and unqualified. Is
given by Bowditch, Webster ~ Co

There are three critical stages in a
woman's life which leave their mark
in her career. The first of these stages
is womanhood, or the change from a
care free girl to budding womanhood,
The second is motherhood, and the
third is Change of Life.
PerilS surround each of these stages,
and most of the misery that comes
to women through ill health dates
from one Or another Of these i'm
portant crises.
Women should remember that Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
made from native roots and herbs has
carried thousands of young girls over
the critical period of puberty, has
prepared mothers for child birth, and
in later years carried them safely
through the change of life more sue

from grateful persons, two of which
