Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, February 2.-The wrong
Waldemar H. Billie. as he himself and
the police, too, believe. is held at head
quarters awaiting advices from Wash
ington, or the confession of the other
man with the same name.
When Lieut.. Bedner met the train
from Washington that arrived here at
9 o'clock last night he recognized Billie
from the description sent by Supt. Syl-
vester of the Washington police; he
seemed to resemble the man wanted as
curiously in appearance as in name.
More indignant men than Billie are sell
dom arrested. He acknowledged his
identity when approached by Lieut.. Bed
ner at the station, but uron being in
formed that he was under arrest for pass
ing worthless checks he made things so
hot that the policeman apologized for
taking him along.
Besides the worthless checks there was
an unpaid tailor's bill for 500 in Wash
ington Although Billie had not cashed a
check for three months, and the last one
he had used came back unpaid by the
bank, he did confess to having an unpaid
tailors bill.
"Is there anything strange about owing
your tailor?" asked Billie. 1.-The amount
happens to be 500, but what seems
strange to me is that he should be a
complainant"

STAND BY THEIR BILLS.
Authors Will Try to Force Anti
japanese Legislation.
.ccial Dispatch TO The Star

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
SACRAMENTO. February 1.-The Drew
bill. closely modelled on the Oklahoma
statehood bill. and excluding aliens from
property rights in California. was set for
its second reading in the assembly today.
and tomorrow it will be urged to final
passage by its supporters.
The Presidents letter. which was read
with interest by the house members yes
terday, has not changed Assemblyman
Drew in the least and lie declares that he
will do his utmost TO secure the enact
nent of his measure despite Roosevelt 9
counsel to the contrary and Secretary
Roots positive objection TO any legisla-
tion directed even indirectly at the Japa-
DeSe.
There is a general conviction here that
the Drew bill will not pass. as Speaker
Stanton. the entire Los Angeles delega-
ton and the organization III general are
opposed to il. The inclination of Gov.
Gillett will be to veto the bill unless it is
radically modified.
Johnson's four bills which he still in
sists on forcing upon the attention OF the
legislature do not stand the ghost of a
show. Practically all the commercial or
CARNATIONS Of the state are opposed to
them, and their author has been deluged
with petitions to withdraw them. Never

StdnO1TS PAT. tHOuSH He says JIG has
not Intercepted his fellow members con-
corning their attitude and does not know
what strength he can muster when the
issue is brought to a vote.
Drew has frankly stated that his bill is
aimed at the japanese. and is framed to
dislodge them from the foOthold they
have already obtained in California. He
feels that the President has right to
criticise his measure. but holds that Sec
rotary Roots objection to all anti-Japa-
nese legislation is unwarranted in view of
the similar laws against foreigners now in
operations in Japan. He will not modify
the provisions of the amended measure
and will make the fight from the position
he now occupieS.
