SAYS JAPs ARE MoNcoLrANs


rate School Bill.
Sacramento, Feb. with the de-
feat in the lower house today Of John
sons two bills prohibiting aliens from
being members Of boards of directors
and restricting them in residence dis
tricts at the option Of boards Of super
vlsors, followed by the unexpected ras-
sage Of third bill segregating Japa-
nese school children In separate schools
along with Chinese, Coreans and other
Asiatics, regarded as the most often
sive measure Of all, President Roose-
velt again has taken hand In the
anti-Japanese legislation in the state
legislature, which for the last week
mas drawn international attention to
California.
Hardly had the bill passed before
Governor GilIett received the following
message from the president.
Your kind letter Just received.
what ~ the rumor that the California
legislature has passed bill excluding
the Japanese children from the public
schoois2 This ia the most offensive
BIZ Of all, and in my judgment is
clearly unconstitutional and we should
at once have to test it In the courts.

by vetoY'
The governor at once sent replv.
the nature Of which he declines at this
time to make public and requested Of
The president an immediate answer.
Pending the receipt of another tele-
gram from the president, the governor
declined tonight to discuss the action
OF the assembly today.
The bill passed today, which was one
OF three anti-Japanese measures intro
duced by Grove T.. Johnson, places the
japanese In the same classification
with other Asiatics and inserts the
word Japanese" in the present state
statute providing for the segregation
IN separate schools of Monaghan,
children. BY this action the lower
house OF the California legislature has
taken the step which the board of edn-
cation OF San Francisco intended to
take two years ago, but which was
cropped after the board and the then
mayor, Eugene e. Schmitz, were |
called to Washington and had several
long conferences with the president.

MORGAN CAUSED THE PANIC
Crash OF 1907 Was to Get Revenge
ON John w. Gates.

|
Washington, Feb. ga demand
that John w. Gates be summoned De-
fore the senate committee which is IN
vestigating the absorption OF the Ten
nessee Coal and Iron company by the
United States Steel corporation, VIII
be made by the democratic members OF
the committee. The democrats believe
that Mr.. Gates can reveal one OF the
most gigantic plots ever conceived IN
finance, involving the inception OF the
panic of 1907, which, according to
their allegations, cost Mr.. Gates and
his associates millions of dollars.
According to the story told today, ].
Pierpont Morgan in the purchase OF
the Tennessee company, wreaked sum-
mary vengeance on Mr.. Gates for the
Louisville & Nashville coup of 1902,
which, it is said, cost the Morgan in
terests SIS, 600. 900. Mr.. Gates ac-
complished this coup while Mr.. Morgan
was perfecting control of the Atlantic
Coast, Seaboard & Southern railroad,
with view to controlling the railroad
situation in the South. The net result
was that Mr.. Morgan was compelled to
buy out Mr.. Gates at his own figures.
This stock, when bought, was turned
over to the Atlantic Coast Line com
pany of Connecticut, the holding COM
pany of the Atlantic Coast Line rail-
road.
1t is now alleged that this deal
ranked in the breast of Mr.. Morgan
until 1907, when it was found that Mr..
Gates and the syndicate associated
with him controlled the Tennessee Coal
and Iron company and had hypothecat-
ed their holdings with interests in New
York. 1t is intimated by the demo-
Gratis that certain financial conditions
were brought about which resulted in
Mr.. Gates and his friends being
out of the concern.
The retaliation of Mr.. Morgan and
his friends is likened by the democrats
to the Gould corner in gold in 1878,
which resulted in BLACK Friday" and
the Hill-Harriman fight over the
Northern Pacific road in 1901, which |
brought on blue Thursday"
