California Rejects Drew
Bill Against Japanese.
Arguments Wednesday in Legis-
Iature-.-M Arguments Today.
Pres. Using Good Offices Against
Radical Action In Nevada.

Sacramento, Calf, Feb. 3.-After a
debate lasting from IL O'Clock this
morning until this evening, the AS
sembly by vote of 48 to % rejected
the bill drawn by A. NJ Drew, barring
aliens from ownership of land in Cali
fornia. The bill had been amended
at the request of President Roosevelt
and Secretary Root so that the clause
applying it to Japanese only was cIim-
mated making the bill apply to all
aliens, but the measure aroused such
storm of opposition that long before
the debate was closed by Mr. Drew it
was apparent that the measure would
be defeated
In substance the objection to it was
that it would drive at least q billion
dollars of foreign capital out of the
state and might jeopardze the present
friendly commercial relations with
Japan.
The supporters of the bill contended
that the state was being ovcrrun by
thrifty Japanese who were gradually
gaining an impregnable position as
land owners, and whose government
was trying to dictate to California re-
garding legislation.
Sacramento, Feb. 3.-When the de-
bate on the Drew anti-alaien bill was
begun in the Assembly today the gal
leries We're crowded. There were no
japanese among the audience
Assemblyman Drew opened the de-
bate. He said in his opinion Pres-
dent Roosevelt had done all he could
to help solve the Japanese problem. but
