JOHNSON AGAIN
HURLS Def AT
HIGH OFFICIALS
ANTI-JAPANESE LAWMAKER
CONTINUES FIGHT
WANTS EXCLUSION ACT TO IN
cLUDE ALL AsIATIcs
Question of Improving San Francisco's
Water Front to Precipitate Hot
Contest in Legislature
This Week
Especial to The Herald

G ACRAMENTO, Jan. 23.-Grove L.
Johnson, the author of three anti
~ japanese bills, which have aroused
President Roosevelt and Secretary of
State Root, has again issued a def to
the federal authorities by introducing a
joint resolution asking congress to ex-
tend the Chinese exclusion act so as
to exclude all Asiatics.
While Assemblymen Drew and
Johnson, who fathered the measures
prohibiting aliens being members of
corporations and owning land and seq
regating them in residential districts
and the schools, are determined to
make a fight for this legislation. they
are opposed by such powerful inf1u-
ences that they have little hope of
winning.
Governor Gillett will veto any bills
discriminating against the japanese in
any of the subjects mentioned and the
organizations of both houses, as rep
resented by Speaker Stanton and
Lieut.. Governor Porter, already are ON
record as being opposed to the enact
ment of state laws not favored by the
national administration.
Senator Sanford will make an ef-
fort to have his anti-Japanese land
bill adopto ! with the amendment sug-
gested by James D. Phelan, ex-mayor
of San Francisco.
Telegram from PheIan
In a telegram from Washington to-
day Mr.. Phelan stated the administra-
tion was not opposed to bills that ex-
cluded all aliens from land ownership
or membership in corporation direc-
tories, but would maintain it's stand
against discrimination against the Jap
anese.
Senator Caminetti has drawn up
constitutional amendment providing for
two sessions of the legislature every
two years, with a recess of thirty to
sixty days between, his idea being to
give the people an opportunity to study
bills introduced before they are finally
acted upon.
One Of the lively fights Of the coming
week will be over the question of i'm
proving San Francisco's water front.
Senator Welch has introduced mea-
sure providing for the purchase of the
Islais creek site and its improvement
with wharves and docks, but opponents
of the idea are drawing up bill which
will be introduced early in the week,
probably on Monday. providing for a
large appropriation to improve the
water front as at present existing.
On motion of Jacob Transue of Los
Angeles the assembly adopted a resolu-
tion amending the rules SO that lobby
lists are excluded from the floor Of the
house at all times.
The rule adopted earlier in the session
applied only when the house was in
session.

DREW BILL FAVORED BY
ROOSEVELT IF AMENDED

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 23.-Former
Mayor James D. Phelan of San Fran
CISCO who is in Washington comforting
with President Roosevelt and Secre-
tary Root regarding the proposed legis-
lation against Japanese, prohibiting
ownership of land within the state,
telegraphed Senator J. B. Sanford to-
day that the administration favored a
bill striking out the clause in the Drew
bill which Disseminated against Mon
golians. The telegram follows:
advise new bill forbiddin~ land
ownership to all foreigners. No OBJ
lection to that here. Suggest COM
mission to correct statistics of Jap
anese INVASION
The last sentence of the message is
taken by Senator Sanford to mean that
he is requested to introduce a resolu-
ton calling upon the state labor COM
missioner to make a new canvass Of
the immigration question to decide
finally whether or not Japanese i'm
migration is less than emigation.
Senator Sanford introduced a bill
early in the session practically the
same as that of Assemblyman Drew
Of Fresno and he is willing to amend
the measure as suggested by Phelan,
striking out the clause ''who is not a
citizen of the United States" so that
all aliens shall be included in it's pro-
visions.
Governor Gillett was shown the
legram and declared he could not
make out exactly what it's meaning
was. He said he had received no word
from Washington that would indicate
that President Roosevelt would not OBJ
ject to any bill from which was elimi-
mated the clause referred to by Mr..
Phelan.
