ing:
We beg leave to refer you, Mr. Presi-
dent, to the fact that there is a dis
elimination in favor of Japanese aliens
as against Chinese citizens, residents
Such discrimination is very apparent
from the fact that the department OF
commerce and labor governed by the
policy of your administration imposes
domiciled Chinese merchants, their
families, the privileged classes of
Chinese under the treaty, every con-
ceivable embarrassment which is in no
way suffered by the Japanese.
We appeal to you, Mr.. President. to
right the wrongs suffered by the Chi
nese of Reno, state of Nevada, whose
property without due or any process
of law was restroyed and the occu-
pants turned out in the street, home
less and destitute.
We ask of you to enter strong
protest against the present school laws
of California, which discriminate
against Chinese children, whether citi-
zens or aliens, and we respectfully
ask you to assist us in taking these
laws into the courts to test their con-
stitutionality, as you have stated YOU

BaiIey's Bill Defeated

SALEM, Ore, Feb. 9.-Senator Bal
ley's anti-Japanese resolution was de-
feated in the senate today when the
majority report Of the resolutions com
mittee was accepted. This was not ac-
cOmplished, however, until after Bailey
had taken the floor and dilated on the
situation. He argued for the re-enact-
ment Of the Chinese exclusion act and
for its broadening TO include Japanese
Aalays. HindUs and all other Asiatfcs
The only democrat on the resolutions
committed Senator Morton, drafted the
majority report, which had the purpose
Of supporting President Roosevelt
The majority report follows:
We deem II inadvisable at this time
that this legislature should add to the
public agitation of the difficulty which
the federal government is now expert
encing in handling this most delicate
question. and we believe that the ad-
ministration is zealously guarding the
interests OF the people of the Pacific
coast and of the entire west. and that
il would serve no good end were the
legislature of the state to now take any
action on this matter which would in
crease the difficulties of the president
IN handling the question"

Japanese Press Is Vexed

TOXIC, Feb. 1O.-The Japanese news
papers continue to be filled with dis
patches emanating from San Fran
cisco. New York and London, indicat-
ing serious increase of the anti
Japanese sentiment in the Pacific coast
states. which is said to be rapidly
spreading to interior states.
The Ashai's San Francisco corre-
spondent has cabled to the paper al
legged statements and utterances of
senators and others which are of a
most sensational character. The dis
patches state that all Pacific states are
developing grave opposition TO the
Japanese residents.
These dispatches are being widely
read throughout Japan and are Gre
ating a deep impression. The. Asahi,
which is Independent politically, edi-
torially comments on the dispatches
however. urging upon the Japanese pa
tience and q reliance upon the better
elements among the Americans for a
protection of their rights.
The Hochi, which is of the sensation
alist press, makes heated and passion
ate comments on the American dis
patches and concludes with the Japan
ticnce If his face is slapped twice"
London dispatches also depict the
antf-Japanese situation in America as
grave.
The attitude of the government Of
fcials here and of the better classes
who absoltely control Japan, remains
unchanged. Americans everywhere are
assured that Japan has no reason to
believe that the action of the state
legislatures will In any way affect the
relations between the two countries

After the Oregon state senate refused
TO favorably consider the Bailey anti

regarding the subject. making special
reference to the anti-JapaneSe legisla-

L am not entirely familiar with the

iect trusting TO a satisfactory outcome
of negotiations now pending between
the two governments. Hasty, i'll ad-
