Not Be an "UnWise Interior
ence," As Was Alleged.

New York. Feb Limited States
District Attorney Henry L. Stimson
made public Sunday night letter in
reply to one written by District Attor-
ney Jerome on the subject OF begin
ming an action for criminal libel in the
state courts against the publishers Of
the New York World because Of pub
lished charges regarding the Panama
Canal purchase.
Mr. Stimson tells Mr. Jerome to go
ahead, and assures him that such
action on your part will in no wise be
regarded as an interference. but. on
the contrary. we shall regard it as our
duty to cooperate with you in all
proper and lawful ways
Mr.. Jerome had asked if the action
In the state courts on behalf Of Doug
las Robinson. the presidents brother
ln.Iaw. would be an "unwise Interior
ence with the actions begun under
federal jurisdiction.'
Reserve Privilege as to Another.
1t is apparent that while the fed
eraI authorities concede TO Mr.. Je-
rome the right 10 aDpea as the pro
tector of Douglas Robinson's good
name. they reserve 10 themselves the
privilege OF acting in defense Of the
reputation of "a gentleman who occu-
pied the position of the head Of the
war department in any federal iuris-
diction where the case applies.
Mr.. Stlmsons letter in part says
Il conceive that it is the duty Of
all prosecutors not to allow any con
aict OF jurisdiction TO jeopardize an
ultimate conviction. but 10 take up the
work in a spirit of harmonious CO.
operation with the common aim that
the offenders shall be eventually tried
and punished in the forum, where
that end can be most suitably and ef-
fectiyely accomplished. In accord
ance with your request | have con-
ferred with the attorney general, and
am authorized TO say that his views
upon the present situation fully coin
eide with my own.
In answer. therefore. to your query
as to whether a prosecution on your
part as to the alleged libel upon Mr..
Robinson would be regarded as an I'M
wise Interference with a matter over
which the federal courts have jurls-
diction and in which action has al
ready been taken by the federal
authorities, beg to assure you that
such action on your part will. in no
wise be regarded as such an interfer
ence, but, on the contrary, We shall
regard it as our duty 10 cooperate
with you in all proper and lawful
ways"

TEXT OF PRESIDENTS LETTER
TO CALIFORNIA GOVERNOR
IS MADE PUBLIC.
STATES HAVE SIMILAR LAWS
Government Emphatcally Objects to
the Passage Of Proposed School
Legislation to Force Japs to
Live in Separate Quarters.

Sacramento. Cal, Feb t.-Governor
GIlett made public Sunday night the
text Of letter received from Presi
dent Roosevelt with regard to anti
Japanese legislation now pending in
the California legislature. President
Roosevelt quoted from letter from
former Secretary Of State Root to
Governor Gillett and from a memo
randum pointing out that Mr. Root
saw no objection 10 a law which
treated all aliens alike: but that to
avoid conflict with the constitution
such statute should contain an ex-
pressed provision excepting from its
operation any rights secured by treaty
between the United States and foreign
nations. President RooseveIt's letter
concludes:
To this memorandum have but
little TO add. The United States gov
eminent has no objection TO the en-
actment Of law in California, as re-
cards the rights of aliens TO hold real
estate, provided that the suggestions
of the secretary OF state are complied
as contained in the memorandum.
Such a law would not be in any sub
stantial respect different from similar
laws that have been passed in other
states. Many foreign countries in
GLIDING Japan itself, have similar
laws

Will Report Crew's Bill.

Drew's anti-alien land bill as amend
ed by him to conform to the wishes OF
President Roosevelt, will be faEorably
reported by the committee on judi
ciary, and action may be taken on if
on Tuesday. for which time II prob
ably will be made special order Of
business. This bill is almost an ex-
act duplicate Of the Oklahoma law 1t
does not specify that aliens must be-
come citizens of the United States in
order to retain land or TO purchase
land. II was because Of the fact that
Mongolians are the only aliens barred
from citizenship that the president
objected to Mr. Drew's first bill as be
ing discriminatory against Japanese
and Chinese, it permitting all other
aliens to hold land by the process of
taking out citizenship papers

Object to School Legislation.

But for .he reasons set forth in
Mr.. Roots memorandum. the federal
government would most emphatically
object to the passage of the proposed
school legislation and would also OBJ
tect to legislation such as the news
papers describe as having been pro-
posed to force the Japanese to live
in separate residential quarters.
I most earnestly trust that for the
reasons set forth in Mr. Roots memo
randum and for the reasons set forth
in my previous kilograms and letter,
none of the Objectionable proposed
legislation will be enacted into law

| Washington, March 1.-THE pas
sage Of a new census bill during the

the measure vetoed by President
Roosevelt previous to his retirement
from office is confidently predicted

provide for competitive examinations

pared the new measure. He believes
ut will not only meet with the ap-
prevail of the special session of con-
gress, but will receive the signature
Of President Taft.
The plan for the selection of clerks
by noncompetitive examinations as
provided for in the vetoed bill has
been abandoned. Judge Crumpacker
has sought to apply the merit system
Of selection, modified to meet the ext
gencies Of the census work.
