CHINESE STIRRED UP.
Say Roosevelt Wants to Discriminate in
Favor Of Japanese.

San Francisco, CAL, Feb. 10.--Tn a
tclcgraphic communication addressed to
President Roosevelt and sent yesterday
by the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent
association, better known as the Chinese
Six companies, the attention of Presi-
dent is called to certain instances where
in it is affirmed the executive depart
ment sought for the Japanese residents
Of California many rights and privileges
that the Chinese have long been denied.
The message In part follows:
"fn view of the commendable and Just
efforts recently made in regard to Ger
tain laws lately proposed and at the
present time partly adopted by the
legislature Of California now convened
at Sacramento, we, representing the
whole Chinese people of the United
States, feel justified in respectfully call
ing your attention to certain conditions
pertaining to the Chinese, both citizens
and aliens, in this country. which are
in direct and fragrant conflict with the
sentiment expressed by you both lately
and heretofore, relative to the Japanese,
1--WE also respectively PROFOUND 10
you certain questions Of the most vital
interest to the Chinese residents of the
United States, answers to which we re-
spcctfullY but earnestly request, These
things we do in the belief that you, hay-
ing so unqualifedly expressed your
views in favor Of the japanese, cannot
fail to render the same justice to the
Chinese when the facts have been laid
before you.
