LOWER HOUSE IN CALIFORNIA
CLASSES JAPANESE CHILL
DREN AS ASiATiCS.
PROTESTS
CHARACTERiZES THE MEASURE
AS THE MOST OFFENSIVE
BILL OF ALL.

Sacramento. Cal. Feb. with the
defeat in the Lower House Thursday
of two of the anti-Japanese measures,
followed by the unexpected passage OF
third bill segregating Japanese
school children in separate schools
along with Chinese. Koreans and other
Asiatics, regarded by Roosevelt as the
most offensive measure OF all. the
President again has placed his ban on
anti-Japanese legislation in this state.
Hardly had the bill been passed by
the assembly before Governor Gillett
received the following message from
the President:
Washington, Feb. Al. n. Gi!lett.
Governor of California: Your kind
letter just received. What is the ru-
NOR that the California Legislature
has passed bill excluding the Japan
ese children from the public schools?
This is the most offensive bill OF all,
and in my Judgment is clearly uncon-
stitutional, and we should at once have
TO test 1t in the courts. Can II be
stopped in the Legislature or by veto?
THEODORE ROOSEVELT"
Governor Gillett Immediately wired
q reply to the President and asked for
an answer at once.
The governor refuses to discuss the
nature Of the message to Washington.
but viii, make all the correspondence
by wire public upon the receipt OF
the Presidents next telegram, II pos
sible
The bill passed, which was one OF
three anti-Japanese measures intro
duced by Assemblyman Grove l.. John
son. places the japanese in the same
classification with other Asiatics and
Inserts the word japanese" In tho
present state statute providing for the
segregation in separate schools OF
Mongolian children.
BY this action the Lowe. House OF
the California Legislature has taken
the step which the board OF education
OF San Francisco intended to take twt
years ago. but which was abandoned
after the board and former Mayor Eu-
gene +. Schmitz were called to Wash
ington and had several conferences
with President Roosevelt.
At that time II was contended by
the japanese that they were not Mon
golians. and they resented the efforts
to place them In tie same class with
the Chinese. Koreans and other Ash
attic races. The question also was
raised whether under the state statute
the segregation of Japanese school
children could be enforced In the alb
sence of specific mention of the word
japanese"
Upon the return from Washington
the San Francisco school board CON
tented itself with the adoption OF a
rule limiting the age OF pupils that
would be permitted to attend the lower
grades of the public schools. one OF
the principal objections to the Japan
ese being that adults Were attending
the primary grades and in daily asso-
Citations with white children of tender
years.
The passage of the Japanese school
segregation bill was unexpected. After
the defeat "Wednesday of Drew's anti
alien land bill. which was generally
believed to foreshadow the rejection
of the measures aimed at the Japan
ese, followed by the defeat of two
more anti-Japanese bills. the result of
the vote on the school segregation
question was entirely unlocked for.

senators who called included Hey
burn. of Idaho, Lodge and Crane o
Massachusetts, and Burkett of Ne
braska.

UNLINK The LINKS.
One Husband Complains of Wife and
One Wife Of Husband.

There is no abatement in the steady
income of divorce cases. The latest
fled are Mary r. Black against Aaron
A. Black, and Wilbert Link against
Minnie Link.
The Blacks were married in 1909
and according to the petition, the de-
PENDANT began early in their married
life to call the plaintiff vile names
and otherwise abuse her. In 1906 he
struck her with his fist and tore her
dress. Taking this as a gentle hint
that her husband didn't love her a.
more, she left him.
The Links were linked together
matrimony in 1907. But he says that
his wife was subject to violent and
uncomfortable temper and was OF a
peevish and irascible disposition She
not only abused, reviled and cursed
him, but she applied opprobrious
epithets-which is a great deal worse
and much harder to spell. Therefore
Mr.. Link would like to be unlinked.
