DREW'S ALIEN BILL KILLED
Measure Would Have Lost Millions
of Dollars TO the State.

Sacramento, Cal.-The assembly by a
vote of as to 2s rejected the Drew bill
barring aliens from owning land in Cal
ifornia.
The bill had been amended at the re
quest Of President Roosevelt and Secre
tary Root, so that the clause applying
it to japanese only was eliminated, max.
ing the bill apply TO all aliens, but the
measure reused such storm of opposi
tion that il was defeated.
In substance the objection to il was
that it would drive at least billion dol
lars of foreign capital out of the Stat,
and might jeopardize the present friendly
commercial relations with Japan. The
supporters of the bill contended that the
State was being overrun by thrifty Jap
anese, who were gradually gaining an
impregnable position as land owners, and
whose government was trying TO dictate
to California regarding legislation.
Assemblyman Grove L. johnson Of
Sacramento, ex-congressman and author
of four bills segregating japanese in
schools and residential districts, and pre-
venting aliens being members of corpora
tions, made an impassioned appeal for
the enactment of the bill At the eli
max of his speech he walked backward
from his seat to the lobby rail, and,
seizing in his arms golden-haired girl of
2, held her aloft and declared that he was
lin favor of this as opposed to the Japan
csc menace to our institutions.n

HELD UP CASHIER
AND ROBBED BANK.
At Mineola, lap Two Masked Men
Took All the Cash.
AND ESCAPED WITH $500
One Man Held Cashier and Two
Farmers In Back Room While
Another Took the
Funds.

Mineola, Ia, Sept. 1.-Two masked
men held up the cashier Of the NILS
County German bank here and escaped
with 1900, in cash. The cashier and
two customers were kept In the back
room of the bank by one Of the rob
beers while the second man took the
money from the safe and counter. The
bandits fed afoot and went east along
the Wabash railroad toward Silver
City near which place they disap-
peared into a cornfeld.
A posse is in pursuit, but has not
yet secured any trace OF the robbers.
The robbery occurred just before
the bank was ready to close for the
day. Cashier F. H. Nipp was engaged
in COW ersation with two farmers In
a back room of the bank when lone
masked man appeared at the door and
at the point of revolver made the
three men hold up their hands. While
the cashier and the two farmers were
held at bay in the back room the sec
ond bandit entered the building BY
the front door and proceeded behind
the desk and pocketed all the cash in
the bank which amounted to $1,000.
The two robbers then told the three
men to keep still and calmly walked
ont of the back door Of the bank and
fed down a back street toward the
Wabash railroad. They hurried east
along the railroad and were seen to
disappear into a cornfeld few miles
from Silver City.
As soon as the robbers were gone
the cashier.gave the alarm and posse
was formed About 30 men were IN
this and on horses they started after
the robbers. Up to late hour how
ever. they had found no clue to the
bandits.
1t is believed the two robbers had
horses in waiting for them near the
corn field into which they went and
that they made their escape on these.
