ROOSEVELT SCORES
SENATOR PERKINS
Declares He Has Hampered Up
building of Navy.
POLICY OF WANToN INSULT
Says So in Telegram to Governor Gil.
lett-Senator Says He Has Fav-
ored All Proper Naval Increase
to $135, 600, 900.

Washington, D. C. - President
Roosevelt has declared open war on
Senator Perkins, of California, for his
connection with the anti-Japanese
sentiment on the Pacific Coast. In a
telegram to Governor Gillett, of that
State, the President denounces the
Senator's public record and excoriates
him for advocating, in the present
Japanese situation, what Mr.. Roose-
welt terms "a policy of wanton in
suit" Senator Perkins declined to
discuss the attack at any length, say
ing he preferred to leave the decision
OF the American people with his pub
lie record and work.
The telegram sent from the White
House, inspired by the passage of the
anti-Japanese legislation by the Cali
fornia Legislature, is as follows:
ITO Gov. Gillett, Sacramento, CAL:
Il am astounded at George C. Per-
kins' conduct. He has for the last
seven years done whatever he could
to hamper us in the upbuilding of the
navy, and has acted against the real
advocates of the navy. Yet now he
advises a policy of wanton insult.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT"
The telegram was not given out
here, but a copy of it was telegraphed
back from Sacramento and submitted
to Senator Perkins. Mr.. Perkins
smiled grimly when it was read to
him. For a moment his face flushed.
but he controlled himself and made
a quiet and unimpassioned statement.
He made no direct mention Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
Il have believed, and never
will believe" he said, @that a treaty
with a foreign Power takes away
from the sovereign States the right
to regulate their own affairs. We of
California believe that with ourselves
rests the decision of how the State
shall be policed and how its domestic
affairs shall be regulated. / do not
believe that any one will question our
assumption of those rights.
@As for the navy, l have always
been its friend and have worked hard
for its upbuilding. When I Joined
the Committee on Naval Affairs in
1893 u expenditure then for the
naval establishment was a little more
than $4,000, 600; the bill which will
be reported from the committee this
week will carry more than $135,0OO,.

Dallas, Texas.-The o.ster pro.

the American Book Company, in the
Fifty-third District Court, came to
an end by an agreed Judgment being

One of the principal reasons for
