NO ANTI-JAPANESE
LAW is APPARENT
Governor Says He Knows of No Meas
ures Against orientals Likely
to Pass the Present
Legislature

SACRAMENTO, Jan. Ex-Governor
Gillett repeated today that there was
to be no legislation against the Japan
ese SO far as he could see at this ses-
sion of the legislature.
He has decided not to address the
members of the legislative body in a
special message nor does he deem such
action necessary in view of the wide
publication of the wishes of the fed
eral authorities.
The governor received a letter from
Secretary Root bearing on the Japan
ese question, but declines to make it
public on the ground that Secretary
Root considers the communication of
a confidential character, as have been
several other letters on the same sub
ject that the secretary has sent the
governor within the last few months.
Assemblyman Grove L. Johnson S
bill providing for the segregation of
japanese within municipalities was
favorably reported today, but all such
measures will be held in allegiance until
Wednesday morning, for which day
they are a special order of business.
1t is said upon reliable authority
that even should all the anti-Japanese
measures pass the assembly the senate
would not indorse them, and as the
governor has declared himself against
them there seems little likelihood of
their becoming laws.
The bills now before the assembly
segregate Japanese reSidentially as
well as educationally and prohibit their
owning land or being directors of cor
porations.

STOCKTON FLOODED:
STREETS INUNDATED
TWO FEET OF WATER RUNS IN
THOROUGHFARES
Current of Streams Not as Swift

age VIII Not Be
Heavy
GBy Associated Press. ]

STOCKTON, Jan. 21-Water COM
menced topping the leveeS on East
street and Mormon channel this after
noon, and at 10 o'clock tonight from
four inches to two feet of water is
running through the principal streets
to Stockton and Miner channels, which
empty into the San Joaquin river.
A desperate attempt was made to
hold the water, but it was seen early
this afternoon that the low portions OF
the city would be inundated. There is
not as much current as two years ago,
and as the merchants received warn
ing some days ago by the first high
water scare, most of them removed
their goods from the cellars, and the
loss will not be as great as in the last
high water.
The reports from Linden tonight are
that the water is falling steadily, the
crest of the flood water having passed
there. The highest water is expected
here about l o'clock tomorrow morn
ing.
From best information at hand il
will not be within a foot and a half or
two feet of what it was during the
great flood of 1906, and it is hardly
probable that the streets will be as
much damaged now as then.
1t was positively learned tonight that
Venice island had been flooded and that
two or there other islands are liable
to go under most any time. The fight
now is centered on Brannan island
which must be saved to keep the flood
water from the Sacramento coming
into San Joaquin county and doing
great. damage.

FIRST STRUGGLE OVER BILL
PROHIBITING BETTING ON
HORSES BEGUN IN SENATE

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 21-The first
fight over the Walker-Otis anti-race
track bill was precipitated this after
noon by Senator Walker, when he
moved the measure be called out of
committee at once. Anthony seconded
the motion, and then a dozen senators
sought recognition from the chair.
Wolfe of San Francisco said he had
voted against a similar motion two
years ago and he was going to be con-
sistent. He declared he never was
afraid to meet the issue squarely, but
he believed the committee should not
be compelled to give up the bill with
out having examined it. He said mill
lions of dollars were at stake and there
should not be undue haste. Senators
Price and Wright said they were for

PASSES HOUSE, 81 TO 10

SACRAMENO, Jan. 21.-By a vote of
o. 70 IL the Walker-Otis anti-race track
Dill, duplicate Of the Hughes law in
New York, was passed by the assembly
this morning. But this action is not
hnal, as Grove L. Johnson of Sacra-
mento gave notice that tomorrow he
would move to reconsider the vote.
r. L. Beardslee of Stockton was
recognized the moment the bill was

RAINFALL IN ORANGE COUNTY
REACHES SIX AND HALF INCHES

SANTA ANA, Jan. 21-The rainfall
for the storm that began last night
registered within a fraction of two
inches up to o'clock this evening, and
the storm seems only nicely begun.
This makes $50 inches for the season
here, with little less in the big Irvine
ranch south of here and about the
same amount at Newport, Garden
Grove, Los Alamitos, Ell Toro and else
where throughout the county.
Most of the grain farmers have their
crops planted, nine-tenths of it on land
that had been deeply plowed and well
prepared for the seed. On the Irvine
ranch 5000 acres is listed for seeding to
barley, and three-quarters of this area
is already sown.
Nineteen thousand acres have been
listed for beans in the Irvine ranch,
and the land has been nearly all plowed
and is ready for the seed. The predic-
tion is that two sacks per acre addi-
tional yield will be harvested from the
bean area this year than ever before
because of the perfect manner in which
the tenants have prepared the land for
planting.

LANDSLIDES PUT RAILROAD
TRAINS OUT OF COMMISSION

SEATTLE Wash, Jan. 21.-Destruc-
tive landslides carrying hundreds Of
tons of earth, along the line of the
Great Northern between Ballard and
Edmonds, have carried away the tele-
graph and telephone lines, prevented
for an indefinite period the movement
of trains and generally worked much
inconvenience.
Yesterday the first overland train of
the Great Northern to reach Seattle in
seventeen hours, arrived.
The regular overland passenger
train was annulled today owing to the
fact the operating officials were unable
to determine when the main line Of
the Great Northern would be open for
traffic.
Northern Pacific passenger officials
say that the worst of the damage done
in eastern Washington, near Pasco, by
high water, has been repaired. no
trains have arrived from the east for
more than twenty-four hours,

tion.
Hartman of San Francisco said he
was against the bill and therefore
against the motion.
Leavitt assured Walker if he would
withdraw his motion a public hearing
would be held Wednesday over the bill
and would be reported promptly.
Asked if the measure would come
back without amendment, Leavitt said
he would not give a pledge to anyone
as to how he would vote.
savage said he was against the mo-
ton because it was unfair to the com
mittee, and Willis urged Walker to
withdraw it. Hurd of Los Angeles
spoke vigorously in favor of walkers
request, and Bell assisted in the fight
for It, but Walker finally withdrew the
motion.

Puget sound is complete today as the
result Of the storm now general over
the northwest. All railroad communi-
cation with that city was cut off when
massive slides and extensive washouts
on the Great Northern between Spo-
kane and Leavenworth incapacitated
the road.
The Oregon Navigation line cannot
move a train west of Colfax on it's
Washington division, while the devas-
tating floods have put the Northern
Pacific east of Pasco out Of commits
sion, at least until tomorrow.
Both the Hill and Hartman lines
have dispatched the heads of their
operating departments with complete
wrecking outfits into the storm zone,
and hope is expressed at local head
quarters today that the next twenty
four hours may see the resumption of
traffic.
The total damage so far will run into
the hundreds Of thousands Of dollars.

SCHOONER ENSIGN ASHORE ON
ROCKS NEAR SANTA BARBARA

SANTA BARBARA, Jan. 21.-The
four-masted schooner Ensign of San
Francisco, bound from San Pedro north
in ballast, went ashore last night at
Naples, sixteen miles north of here.
The ship now lies about fifty yards
from the shore. Heavy breakers are
coming in and the schooner is pound
ing severely on the beach.
All on board are safe. Two steamers
were off the shore waiting an oppor-
tunity to render assistance to the
stranded vessel, but a heavy fog has
settled over the wreck. The rescuers
seem to be standing out until the fog
shall clear
The wrecked schooner late this after
noon continues to be in about the same
position she took when she went
ashore. A steamer is in close, trying
to render assistance, but had not been
able up to 5 o'clock to pass line to
the wreck
The Ensign came ashore at high tide
and is so close in when the tide re-
cedes she is high and dry. She lies
stern to on the beach on a low reef
of rocks and her rudder and keel have
been broken from pounding on the
rocks.
None of the crew has landed, but
they are in no danger 1t is raining
and the fog continues thick, but there
is no wind. AS there has been no
communication with the shore it has
not been learned why the Ensign was
running so close in at this point. She
is about 500 feet east of Dos Pueblo
creek, just off the railroad station,
eighteen miles from Santa Barbara.
1t is feared here she cannot be saved.
No assistance can be rendered from
the shore Members of the crew have
run line to shore and landed bag
gage. The wrecking steamer Fulton,
which had been working on the wreck
of the Sibyl Marston, is lying off the
Ensign.
Splinters and spars which are washed
ashore indicate her bottom is breaking.
She rolls considerably in a heavy sea
and is lying with her bow pointed
straight to sea and her stern far out
of water. Her rudder is broken.
The revenue cutter McColloch, which
left here Monday for the wreck of the
Sibyl Marston off Surf, returned this
morning to give assistance to the
wrecked schooner Ensign, which is
ashore off Naples.
This afternoon the McColloch sent a
wireless message to the Potter hotel
station asking for directions. In the
fog she either had lost her bearings
or the position of the wrecked schoon-
er. The monitor Cheyenne in Santa
Barbara harbor has gone to the wreck.

BAY CITY BUSINESS
MEN PROTEST AGAINST
ANTI-JAPANESE LAWS

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 21.-A strong
protest against anti-Japanese legisla-
t1on was sent today to members of both
branches of the legislature by the San
Francisco business men, who returned
recently from an extended visit to
Japan, made at the invitation of va
r1ous japanese commercial organiza-
tions.
The protest is conveyed in a letter
addressed to the president of the SEN
ate, the speaker of the assembly and all
members of both houses, and is signed
by the eight San Francisco men who
made the transpacif1c trip. The letter
is as follows:
1--WE of the commercial commission IF
the chambers of commerce, who re-
Gently visited Japan, beg leave to pro-
test against the passage of certain
antl-Japanese legislation now pending
before your honorable bodies and as
forcibly as possible to direct your at
tention to President Roosevelt's let
ter of January 16, 1909, to Governor Gill
lett regarding proposed legislation.
During our visit to Japan we paid
particular attention to the question of
japanese emigration and from what we
learned we are strongly of the opinion
that the emperor and the government
officials Of Japan are acting in absolute
SOou 1dIIH 1eSdTulHS CHe reSIr1cClOn OF
japanese emigration to the United
States.
"We firmly believe any action by the
legislature which is directed at the
Japanese residents of this state will be
taken as an affront by the entire Jap
anese nation.
"The Japanese trade passing through
the ports of this state has assumed
large proportions and is likely to be
seriously crippled by such propose /
action.
I'VE therefore respectfully request
that action on any of these bills which
affect the Japanese people be deferred
indefinitely as being unwise and in
iudicious."
