THE PRESIDENTS SURPRISE.
He Urges the Governor to Block the
 Legislation.

Washington, Feb. 4.-News of the passage by the California assembly today of a bill providing for the segregation of the Japanese school children was received in official quar- ters here with surprise and conster- nation. President Roosevelt immedi- ately sent to Governor Gillett a tel egram in which he described the bill as the most offensive bill of alr. and clearly unconstitutional. Cover nor Gilletts telegraphic reply to the presidents message was not made public tonight.
 President Roosevelt indicates clear ly in his telegram to Governor Gil- lette that he has not changed his attitude of two years ago, when lie declared in his annual message sub mitted just before the visit of the San Francisco delegation, that ito shut them (the Japanese) out from the common school is wicked and absurd, when there are no first class colleges in the land. including the University of California, which do not gladly welcome Japanese students, and on which the Japanese students do not reflect credit"

WASHINGTON HEARD FROM.

Sacramento, Feb. 1.-The passage by the assembly this faternoon of the bill introduced by Grove l.. John son. compelling Japanese children to attend separate schools, resulted in message from President Roosevelt asking if the bill could not be stopped in the legislature or by a veto of the chief executive of the state.
 The governor at once sent a reply, the nature of which he declines at this time to make public, and re- quested of the president an imme- diate answer. Pending the receipt of President Roosevelt's message, Gov ernor Gillett declines to discuss the action of the assembly today.
 In his message this afternoon the president declared that the school segregation measure was the most offensive of the four anti-Japanese bills introduced and said that in his judgment it was clearly unconsti- tutional and the federal government would have to test it in the courts. In conclusion he asked the governor if it could not be killed either in the legislature or by veto.
 Immediately after learning of the assemblys action the governor called into consultation Speaker Stanton and the laders of both branches of the legislature. They still have hopes of beating the bill in the assembly. After the roll call on the measure, Walter Leeds of Los Angeles, one of

STATEHOOD

A Strong Objection by Influ

Washington, D. C.. Feb. 4-(Spe- cial)-Chairman Hamilton of the house committee on territories was at the White House today. MT. Ham ilton said that a special rule would be brought in the house for the consider ation of the bill on Wednesday or Thursday and that he had doubt of the bill passing that body.
 Opposition in the senate appears Ob- stinate Senators Aldrich and Hale will do all in their power to keep down any statehood legislation this session. Influential senators who are not favor ably disposed to the merits of Delegate Andrews of New Mexico and Delegate Smith of Arizona do not want to pro mote the senatorial ambitions of those men by giving statehood at this time.
 This is the way one man in the senate puts it This whole statehood business is pushed by "Bull' Andrews and Mark Smith. The former expects to be senator from New Mexico and the latter from Arizona I don't think they will get to be senators right away by the consent of the senate. We are too busy to bother with this bill now. The appropriation and other bills will take up all our time"

the house committees which had visit ed the University of Arizona and the industrial or reform school at Benson. The first report was submitted by Mr. Bailey It described the excellent con- dition of the university and in a gen eral way recommended that anything in reason the management asked for should be given thoughtful considera- ton by the committee on appropria- tions
 ,>The reform school report was of fered by MT. Hightower It conflicted at almost every point with the report of the board of control and the recom- mendation of the governor for the re- moVal of the school from Benson on the ground that that was not suit able place for it; that there was no possibility of agricultural development and that the school ought never to have been located there.
 The visiting committee had found the school well managed by Super intendent Mahoney and that the pupils were making advancement along mor al lines. As to the lack of agricultural facilities for the furnishing of employ ment to the pupils the report says that the desert thereabout is being conquered by water from artesian wells in that vicinity. The commit teemen had conferred with the water expert and had been told by him that the supply was practically unlimited.
 But, the report went on to say, if there were no farming facilities there about, what of it? It was not best any how to bring the pupils up to be clod hoppers. Their education should be first attended to and when their stu dies had been finished they should be taught the use of tools.
 They should be given musical train ing and subjected to the softening and ennobling influences of art As to the proposal to remove the school. that is to put it on wheels and cart it about the territory" the report advises that the occupants of the pie counter should not be permitted to crowd the children away"
 A large sum of money had been ap- propriated by the last legislature for expend it on the institution, for the board bad expended part of it and had then decided that further eXpen- ditures would be wasteful The report directs that the board be ordered to take this money out of the fund and expend it on the institution, for the purchase of books, maps, musical in struments and for what ever will make the pupils wiser and better.
 The report on the territorial prison, it was brought out, was not yet ready. The committee was waiting the report on a chemical analysis of certain drugs which it had been found, were snug gled into the institution.

AWAITING THE GOVERNOR
For the Next Step to be Taken By the
 Prosecution

Muskogee, Feb. 4.-NO method of procedure in the town lot fraud in dictment cases will be decided upon until after the arrival of Governor Haskell tomorrow. A dispatch from A z.

Washington, Feb. 4.-The firest ser vice got it's usual annual drubbing to- day. the criticisms against it coming principally from Messrs. Smith of Cal ifornia Cook of Colorado and Mondell of Wyoming. all of whom charged ex- travagance in the administration and the extOrtion of money from miners. farmers and even the owners of bee hives.
 Mir Cook attributed to Clifford Pin chOt, chief forester, an ulterior motive, the scheming for Secretary Wilson's seat in the cabinet. Both PinchOt and the forest service were vigorously de- fended by Mir Mann of Illinois and Mir Weeks of Massachusetts. All attempts to amend the bill in any important particular failed.

Guthrie, Feb. 4.-Friends of Cover nor Haskell denied today that there was any truth in the rumorS that the states chief executive would resign his office as a result of the indictment returned against him yesterday by the federal grand jury at Muskogee. They stated that the story was absolutely without foundation.
 Governor Haskett said today that he had nothing further to say regard ing the charges against him other than to repeat his statement made last night to the Associated Press. He started for Nuskogee where he will appear with the other indicted men on Friday in United States court and formally offer bond. Many prominent men have offered to sign the gover- nor's bond.
 The indictments created a sensa- ton throughout the state Scores of telegrams expressing loyalty have been received by the governor from friends in various parts of Oklahoma and throughout the country.

WARL|KE SIGNS
 ON THE PACIFIC
THE LEADEN HUE OF WAR OF
 NAVAL VESSELS.
Extraordinary Activity in the Moving of Military Supplies.

San Francisco, Feb. 4.-The close of the present week will see an un- usual amount of war material and supplies shipped from this port to the Philippines and Hawaiian Islands. which fact, taken in connection with the arrival of the naval transport Buffalo from Honolulu today, painted 9 leaden gray color that is associ- ated in the popular mind with the fighting garb of the American navy and the unexpected return of the torpedo flotilla from the south, is causing some local comment.
 Tomorrow the bark Mohican will clear for Honolulu, riding deep in the water under the weight of two great disappearing guns, destined to form a part of the defenses of Pearl liar bor, the site of the naval station in the Hawaiian Islands. On Saturday the Pacific mail liner Asia sails for Manila and Japan, carrying a cargo of 2,000 tons, which will consist of army and navy stores for the Phil ippines. Included in this shipment are 200 submarine mines which are to be placed beneath the waters in Subig bay, at the entrance to Ma nila harbor, and 2500 cases of small arms and ammunition.
 In connection with the change made in the color of the Buffalo it is stat ed that orders have gone out/ to the Pacific fleet of big fighting ships to be similarly altered in ap- pearance on their return to Mazda lena bay from the South American cruise. This is the first time since the building of the new navy, the white navy" as it has been widely known, was commenced, that the color of the ships has been changed except in time of war.
 While admitting that there is un- usual activity just at present in the Pacific Coast naval circles. officers of the navy profess themselves un- able to explain it.

Sacramento. Feb. 4-Grove L. John sons bill compelling the Japanese to attend separate public schools was passed by the assembly at noon to- day by a vote of IS to 26. Johnson's other bills prohibiting aliens from be- ing members of boards of directors and restricting them in residence dis tricts at the options of boards of supervisors, were defeated, the for mer by a vote of 54 to 15. The lat ter measure failed of passage be- cause of a tie vote, the proponents of the bill being unable to muster the required 41 votes. The roll call finally stood 37 to g after a call of the house and several changes from aye" to mo" and vice versa. Johnson of Sacramento, the author of the measure, changed his vote from aye" to mo" and moved to recon slider the measure tmOrroW.
 Walter Leeds of Los Angeles changed his vote from mo- to aye" on the school bill and moved to re- consider that also.
 Shortly after the disposal of the Johnson bills, Mir. Drew moved that the vote by which his land bill was defeated yesterday be reconsidered. He offered to amend the measure by striking out the Section which, it had been declared, violated the treaty rights of several nations. He de- clared that as the school bill had just been passed, and that was the one against which the president objected most strenuously two years ago, the assembly should go a step farther and pass the land bill also.
