Oriental Question
Raises Head Again.
House of Congress and Senate of Legislature
Devote Period to Subject
Champ Clark Says Whites Can
Not Compete With Chi
nese in Starving

WASHINGTON. Feb. 25.-The Japa-
nese question was the subject of brief
consideration in the house today dur
ing the consideration of the sundry
civil bill.
Hayes CCal.) declared that the people
of California would not only exclude
the Chinese from the soil of their state
but also the japanese and "all other
orientals in the category"
The race problem in California has
not reached a state of mob violence, .
said Hayes, "but it must come. When
men are hungry, 1 look for trouble.
There are q, 900 white men idle in San
Francisco, and yet in my district there
are 10000 japanese, and nearly all of
them are employed. I believe 1 repre-
sent the view of s5 per cent of the
people of California in asking that
congress protect us from this menace
and aid in preserving the lands of the
Pacific coast for the Caucasian race.
There is an immediate and pressing
necessity to stop the influx of orien-
tails"
DEMOCRATS LIKE SENTIMENT
Hayes remarks were greeted
with applause by the democrats. Rep
resentative Champ Clark, Missouri, ex-
pressed his approval of the exclusion
of the Japanese and Chinese. which he
said was advocated not only by organ
lied labor, but by all labor.
81 have been a laboring man all
my life" said Clark. 81 started out as
against this immigration. The Caucasian
race has always been the dominant
race, as now, and viii be as long as
there are any Of US left.
while superior to the oriental
races" Clark said, 1.-The Caucasian race
can not compete with the Chinese in
the matter of starvation.
IF you let them in," he continued,
you would starve our own out. 1t is
currently reported that there are 1,000,-
600 American laborers out of epploy-
ment."
REGARD FOR TAFT
Clark added that he has had a
high regard for President elect Taft
since the first time he met him, when
Taft appeared before the house COM
mittee on foreign affairs in advocacy
of excluding the Chinese from the
Philippines.
representative Harrison of New
York, speaking in favor of oriental ex-
clusion, said he would vote for Japa-
nese exclusion.
Representative Hepburn of Iowa de-
clared the servant problem in this
country would be solved by the ad-
mission of orientals. claiming that 500,-
600 orientals for domestic service would
not displace the American servant.
Representative Adam NJ. Bayard OF
Mississippi, in the course of a speech
in which he strobe from one side ofthe
chamber to the other in a highly dra-
matte manner. denounced the attitude
of the American government on the
Japanese question as the most humili-
ating exhibition of obsequious servility
Of any party ever in power
Several yells followed the speech.

Senate Asks Congress to Make
Chinese Exclusion Include
All Asiatics

CALL HEADQUARTERS, CHAM
BER OF COMMERCE BUILDING, SAC
. RlNMENTO. Feb. 25.-By a vote of 2S
to the senate today adopted a joint
resolution calling upon congress to ex-
tend the provisions of the Chinese ex-
clusion act SO as to include all Asiatics.
While the resolution precipitated a de-
bate, there was no brandishing of the
big stick, and one senator even referred
contemptuously to Phil Stanton's fa-
nous speech, in which he pictured the
ground slipping from beneath his feet
in the presence of the anti-Japanese
cataclysm.
Roseberry of Santa Barbara, Stetson
Of Oakland and Willis of San Bernar-
dino opposed the resolution Roseberry
thought the time was not ripe for me-
morializing congress on the subject and
characterized the resolution as an in
direct form of offensive legislationNrub-
bing the sore spots" Stetson took is
sue with the statement in the preamble
that exclusion was the best remedy
Tor the trouble. He said that China was
the Jellyfish nation" and could be dealt
with by exclusion, but not so Japan.
NEEDS DIFFERENT TREATMENT
She comes, glorious in the plumes of
victorious war; he declared and
must be treated with in another
fashion,"
Burnett, the author of the resolu-
ton, which is a committee substitute
for four submitted by Caminetti, San
ford and Anthony, took issue with
these speakers.
I'VE. did not get Chinese exclusion"
he declared, by sitting down and walt
ing for it to drop into our mouths.
This is no time to act in an uncertain
way The Japanese are the poorest
civilized nation today. They couldn't
borrow money to go to war if they
wanted to. Do you think Japan would
care tinkers darn about us If we
wanted to send a resolution to her
parliament?
There is no question that the peo-
pie are as much opposed to Japanese
as to Chinese immigration" declared
Wolfe. Il consider Japanese immigra-
ton the greater menace. If we fail to
pass this resolution we place ourselves
in the position before the east of not
wanting to go squarely on record. We
are not offending anybody, but, if we
should, we would have no apology to
offer"
SAVED FROM ORATORY
Sanford wanted to put off the mat
ter till tomorrow, but there was a gem
eral feeling against letting the SPELL
binders loose which Miller voiced when
he pleaded with the senate to adopt
the resolutions "and save us from
field day Of oratory."
Roll call showed a majority of IS in
favor of the resolution. There will be
another vote m}-+n the committee sub
stitute is printed, but the result will
not be materially different One of
today's surprises was the complete
silence during the debate of Marc An

The suspension Of Evers was inhict-

The result of the suspension of Evers

johnson and Hermann, will, il they
enforce their own laws strictly, brr e
about the worst muddle baseball ever
has known.
As result of the ruling that Evers
and Mathewson are not eligible to play
until reinstated by the commission.
Boston is the only club in the National
league that can play game Until the
commission reinstates the suspended
players
The law of the commission is plain,
Evers was ineligible when he went to
bat against Pittsburg in Mondays
game, and an outlaw when he played
Tuesday. Mathewson was an outlaw
when he pitched Tuesday.
Under baseball law every member of
the Pittsburg team is an outlaw oe-
cause the team played against Chi
cago when an ineligible player was In
the lineup, and every st. Louis player
who played against Pittsburg yesterday
also is outlawed.
The Philadelphia players who played
against Mathewson are outlaws under
the national commission ruling. and
the Brooklyn club also is outlawed by
playing against Philadelphia yester-
day, while the Cincinnati club falls
under the ban for playing against
Chicago yesterday, as all members of
the Cubs are outlaws because they
played with Evers.
That leaves Boston the only team in
the league with clear skirts.
The national commission made its
ruling last fall in the case of the
Washington and White Sox clubs, and
now they are going to dodge now is a
question. The chances are, however.
that the commission will ignore all its
previous rulings and punish only the

the average mind of it's true historic
significance. AS a matter of fact, the
Marathon race of today has a more
honorable line of ancestors than any
other modern sport. 1t can precede
even the historic Olympic games IN
its lineage.

correctly describe it:
THE mountains look on Marathon.
And Marathon upon the seas,
In the year 490 B. B. this peaceful
plain of Marathon became the scene of
one OF the most portentous battles in
the annals OF the ancient world. II
became the scene of the great defeat of
the Persian hordes of Darius by the
Greeks under Miltiades. It was a
long and bloddy fight. The fate OF the
Grecian government hung in the bal
ance. Miltiades buried 200 of his men
upon the field and the Persian dead
numbered some 5000.
The city of Athens awaited the out

whose name has been lost in the chasm
