ANTI-JAP BILLS
TO Be PUSHED
CALIFORNIA LEGISLATORS WANT
TO SETTLE THE QUESTION
OF EXCLUSION.
ADVICE COMES FROM NEVADA
A Resolution Declaring In Favor o.
Drastic Legislation Against Japs
Is introduced In Nevada
Legislature.

Sacramento, Cal, Feb. 2.-Whilt
the letter of President Roosevelt tc
Gov. Gillett regarding the japanese
question made deep impression up
on the Legislature, the two leaders OF
the proposed legislation against the
Japanese declared yesterday that
they would push their measures to 8
vote as soon as possible.
Assemblyman Drew of Fresno
where there are many Japanese work
ing in raisln vineyards, who had al
ready amended his anti-alien bill as
requested by the national administra
tion so that the clause discriminating
against the Japanese was eliminated
took exception to a letter written by
Secretary of State Root, saying that
the federal government was opposed
to all legislation directed against
aliens, japanese or others.
Mr.. Drew declared il was to the in.
terest Of California to protect her soil
from an invasion OF aliens from the
far shores of the Pacific and whom
Americans did not welcome" He said
that 1t would be incongruous for such
aliens to own land in this country
when they had no intention of becom
ing citizens and he believed that his
bill remedied a condition that had
long been menacing the state
The judiciary committee gave a re
port, fayoring the passage of the
Drew measure without change. and II
was made a special order of business
for Wednesday to take precedence
over the Johnson bills denying Jap
anese the right to be members of cor
porations and segregating them not
only in the schools as attempted by
the San Francisco hoard OF education
two years ago but also in residential
quarters at the option of boards oi
supervisors.
Carson, Nev., Feb. "A resolution
declaring in favor of drastic legisla
tion against Japanese, criticisms
Theodore Roosevelt and designating
the Japanese "as parasites of the
world" and a menace TO civilization
and progress on the Pacific coast, was
reported favorably by committee o.
the whole in special session of the
Nevada legislature yesterday. The
resolution will be voted on to-day un
der a special order.
The resolution is directed to thu
California legislature and declares il
favor of that bodys passing measures
that will prevent the influx of Jap
anese. II further recommends tina
the California Legislature pay no at
tention TO what is termed Coercion
and interference on the part of Presi
dent Roosevelt in the anti-Japanes,
movement"

GRAND JURY AT MUsKoeEE
OKLA, STRIKES PAY DIRT.
Witnesses from Tennessee Make Sen
satlonal Revelations In Their
Testimony.

Muskogee, Okla, Feb. AIT the
conclusion Of the first day OF the
second week OF the alleged town lot
fraud investigation. II is evident the
representatives of the government
are certain that many indictments
will be returned by the grand jury
The testimony of the Tennessee
witnesses has proved a revelation.
One of the 20 witnesses from that
state said:

government to come TO Muskogee

on the map. had never heard of Il

The government expects the federal
grand jury now in session here to re.
turn at least 300 indictments involv-
ing from IA to 20 persons in the al.

Restless Animals.

When you see the animals in the
park menageries pacing back and forth
restlessly in their cages, do not take It
for granted that the creatures are un-
happy or even discontented. II may be
that the lion or the tiger or the polar
bear that moves about with apparently
ceaseless activity is only taking his
daily exercise, without which he would
pine and die soon. When the Wild
creatures are In their native Jungles
they are kept pretty busy bunting food.
Thus each day they walk many miles
perhaps. In their narrow cages In the
parks they are plentlfully supplied
with food, but their brawny bodies still
demand great amount of exercise.
Mile after mile is paced off daily by
the uneasy creatures. Usually they
move with long swinging stride, but
when mealtlme comes around then the
step qulckens until when the keeper
appears with his baskets OF meat the
tigers and lions and other animals leap
against their bars and growl and whine
and lash their tails. In fact, they act
like great hungry boys do after a long
days tramp II they find that supper Is
late

Columbus. o., Feb. State rev

a proposed reapportionment of the
Akin liquor tax II the change

officers are trying to think Of some
plan for increasing the revenue. II

with but three.tenths of this
amount turned over to the state, il is
