ONE ANTI-JAP
BILL IS PASSED
BILL TO PLACE THEM IN SEP.
ARATE SCHOOLS WINS IN CAL
FoRNIA LEGISLATURE.
ROOSEVELT TAKES A HAND
He Sends Telegram to California's
Governor Protesting Against
the Action of the
Legislature.

Sacramento, Cal.-With the de-
feat in the lower house yesterday
of two of the anti-Japanese measures,
followed by the unexpected passage
of third bill segregating Japanese
school children in separate schools
along with Chinese, Koreans and
other Asiatics, President Roosevelt
again has taken a hand in the anti
Japanese legislation that has drawn
international attention to California.
Hardly had the bill been passed by
the assembly before Gov. Gillett re-
ceived telegram from the president
protesting against the action. The
governor at once sent reply, the ma
ture of which he declines at this time
to make public.
The bill passed yesterday, which
was one of three anti-Japanese meas
ures introduced by Assemblyman
Grove L. Johnson, places the Japan
ese in the same classification with
other Asiatics and inserts the word
Japanese" in the present state
statute providing for the segregation
in separate schools of Oriental" chill
dren.
By this action the lower house of
the California legislature has taken
the step which the board Of education
of San Francisco intended to take
two years ago, which was abandoned
after the board and ex-Mayor Eugene
e. Schmitz were called to Washing
ton and had several conferences with
President Roosevelt.
At that time it was contended by
the Japanese that they were not
"Orientals" and they resented the eff
forts to place them in the same class
with the Chinese, Koreans and other
Asiatic races. The question was also
raised whether under the law the seq
regation of Japanese school children
could be enforced in the absence Of
specific mention of the word Japan
esq.,"
Upon the return of the delegation
from Washington the San Francisco
school board contented itself with the
adoption of rule limiting the age
or pupils that would be permitted to
attend the lower grades of the public
schools, one of the principal objec-
tions to the Japanese being that
adults were attending the primary
grades and in daily association with
white children.
Unexpected was the passage of the
Japanese school segregation bill. Af-
ter the defeat Wednesday of Drews
anti-alien land bill, which was gen.
orally believed to foreshadow the re-
lection of all of the measures aimed
at the Japanese, the defeat of two
more anti-Japanese bills added to the
surprise occasioned by the vote on
the school segregation bill.

Policemen.

Memphis, Tenn.-Following a dar-
ing holdup on busy thorough

cars and houses and at pedestrians
and terrorized a section of North
Memphis before he was shot to death
by police and citizens.
After relieving another negro of a
bundle of hides, Morton endeavored
to force trade with produce dealer
at the point of his pistol. Failing, he
sent confederate to dispose of the
booty, but both escaped before the
police arrived. The negro was finally
located on a street car, firing several
times. AS he ran he continued to
fire. AS pedestrians appeared the
negro shot hurriedly and continued
his race. Several groups of school
children were fired on and, firing in
to house, the bullets Of the negro
narrowly missed woman occupant
A riot call brought a squad of po-
lice who were Joined by scores of cit
liens and Morton was finally corralled
on porch. At bay the negro con-
tinued to fire on his pursuers, but his
bullets went wild, while volley from
the pursuers put an end to the battle
Four rounds of unspent cartridges
were found in the pockets of the dead
negro.

WEEKLY BUSINESS BULLETIN
A Dizziness of Retail Trade is Noted
Iron and Steel Conditions
are Disappointing.

New York City.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Dullness of retail trade is some
what more pronounced than usual at
this season, and distribution in whole
sale lines continues considerably re-
stricted, although there is urgency in
the demand for some varieties of cot
ton and woolen goods to provide for
immediate requirements and eastern
manufacturers are very busy. Future
orders in most lines are still placed
with great caution, but confidence in
the future Is stronger.
Conditions in iron and steel con-
tinue disappointing. The leading in
terest still maintains established quo
tations, yet price cutting is general
in several lines and even with this
new business is slow In developing.
Some of the larger mills are operat-
ing at about 60 per cent of capacity,
although largely on contracts Stocks
OF pig iron are increasing and prices
Show sagging tendency in conse-
quence. Structural materials continue
quiet.

GIRL is FOUND IN 4 CISTERN
DAYTON, O., HAS ANOTHER MUIR.
DER MYSTERY.
Lizzie Fulhart of VandaIia, O., is the
Latest Victim of an Un-
known Assassin.

Dayton, O.-Another murder mys-
terry has been added to the long
list which already shames this
city. Late yesterday afternoon the
body of young woman was dragged
out of cistern in the rear of a
vacant house. Her brother has iden-
titled her as Lizzie Fulhart of Van
dalia, o. She has always borne a
spotless reputation at her home. She
came to this city on January 30, to
look for employment, and was stay
ing with her aunt, Mrs. Samuel Dee
ters.
The discovery was made by Charles
o. Weaver, a contractor, who was en-
ployed by the owner of the Matthews
residence on North Jefferson street to
prepare the residence for occupancy
The body was badly decomposed
and the features are almost unrec-
ognizable. The face shows bruises
and several other evidences of
violence are plainly visible. A bur-
lap bag enshrouded the upper portion
of the body. The steel cover of the
cistern is about 1S inches in diam
eter and fitted closely over the open
ing.

THEY LOST THE FIRST BATTLE
Promoters of Anti-Japanese LeeisIa.
ton are Defeated in California
Legislature.

Sacramento, Cal.-After a debate
extending from IL o'clock yester-
day morning until p. m. the as
sembly by vote of As to 2S rejected
the bill drawn by A. M. 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 the Japanese only was
eliminated, 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 meas
ure would be defeated. In substance
the objection to it was that it would
drive at least a billion dollars of for
eign capital out of the state and
might jeopardiZe the present friendly
commercial relations with Japan.
The supporters of the bill contend
ed that the state was being over
run by thrifty Japanese who were
gradually gaining an impregnable
position as land owners and whose
government was trying to dictate to
California regarding legislation.

who was elected with the indorse-
ment Of the union labor party. Cd.
posed the Drew bill on the ground
that it was in conflict with the state
constitution, that it was inimical to
union labor and that it was not
favored by the national administra-
tion, which he said was dealing with
delicate problem and should be sup
ported by the people of California.

A RACE WAR is THREATENED
CRUSADE AGAINST IDLE NEGROES
EXcITEs PlTTsBURGERS.
Many Arrests are Made In Conse-
quence of a Number of AS
saults on Women.

Pittsburg, Pain spite of many
threats of armed resistance upon the
part of negroes if the police continue
their wholesale arrests of members
of their race without employment in
the Heron Hill district of the city,
no outbreak of any kind has occurred
Following the arrest Tuesday night
of 126 negroes and the release yester-
day of all but Al, the police force in
the district has been doubled and
every patrolman has orders to arrest
every suspicious negro.
No further attack upon women or
girls has been reported since Tuesday
night, and should one occur the tenn
per of the citizens is such that vio-
lence very probably would be meted
out to the assailant if caught. Men
and women throughout the section in
volved are carrying revolvers and the
negroes are said to be well armed.
Should clash come, as is considered
not at all improbable il more arrests
are made, the result would be serious.
Local orators are infiaming the ne
groes to resistance and the feeling is
high. The police, however, seem to
have the situation well in hand and
probably will not make further inds-
criminate arrests.
OF the negroes arrested Tuesday
night 80 were fined, most of them 60
ing to the workhouse, and two were
held over for further evidence, hav-
ing been partly identified as perpet-
rators of one of the attacks ON girls

NEW CRAFT WILL SURPASS ALL
BattIeship Delaware is Launched at
Newport News, Va.

Newport News, Va. - Compared
with the battleships completed or
under construction, of the navy of
any foreign country, the Delaware,
which was launched here to-day,
surpasses all. She is one of four sis
ter ships authorized by congress
which will form an indomitable
squadron. The other vessels are the
North Dakota, being built at Quincy,
Mass; the Florida, which will be
built at the New York navy yard, and
the Utah, to be built at Camden, N. ].
The Delaware is to carry as heavy
armor and as powerful armament as
any known vessel of it's class; will
have speed of q knots, which is
believed to be the highest practicable
for vessel of this type and class,
and will have the highest practicable
radius of action. The arrangement
of her main battery guns is such as
to permit broadside fire 25 per cent
greater than that of the broadside
fire of any battleship now built.

Harrisburg.-The creation of a COM
mission to thoroughly study the prob
lem of equitable taxation in Pennsyl-
vania, which should seek out the
classes of property now exempt
rather than increase the burden on
those now paying, is the idea of Au-
ditor General Robert Kennedy Young
in his annual report on the finances,
which has just been laid on the desk
of Gov. Stuart. Among the classes
now enjoying freedom from taxation,
but which he mentions as available,
are trust funds in the hands of banks,
trust companies and savings insttu-
tions, personal property which is not
returned because of laws which do
not strictly hold the local assessor to
his duty, the stock Of manufacturing
corporations and lastly bank deposits
He proposes readiustment of the
methods of taxation whereby relief
will be extended to the real estate
owners.
