ANTI-RACE TRACK
MEASURE TO BE
VOTED ON SOON
LEGISLATURE WILL DISPOSE
OF VITAL PROBLEMS
BILLS OPPOSING JAPANESE ALSO
WILL BE RUSHED
Senate Faces Decisive Fight This
Week-Walker Fears but Five
opponents-San Francis
cans Determined
Especial to The Herald.I

NACRAMENTO, Jan. 31.-Granting
N that the plans of the lobby or
ganizations are executed without
delay the anti-race track gambling and
the several anti-Japanese bills will be
disposed of in the legislature by the
end of this week.
George S. Walker Of East San Jose
one of the sponsors for the Hughes
law against turf gambling, and who
introduced it in the senate, announced
today that when the bill came up for
second reading tomorrow he would ask
that 1T be made a special order of
business for Tuesday, when, if there is
to be any fight against the measure on
the floor of the senate, the matter will
be threshed out.
Senator Walkers opinion is that not
more than five members will vote
against the bill if its foes decide to
make no combat and not more than
ten will oppose it even if a stand is
made by the race track senators.
Weed, Wolf and Leavitt were the
three who voted in the committee on
public morals against the bill and
Hartman announced publicly that he
would vote against it, though it meant
the sounding Of his political death
knell.
This disposes of four of the five
mentioned by Walker, and he declines
at this time to say who is the other.
To Report FaVorabIy
A. NJ Drew's anti-alien land bill, as
amended by him to conform to the
wishes of President Roosevelt, and
which was referred to the assembly
committee on judiciary, will be favor
ably reported by Chairman Grove L.
Johnson and action may be taken on
it on Tuesday, for which time it prob
ably will be made a special order of
business. This bill is almost an exact
duplicate of the Oklahoma law.
It does not specify that aliens raust
become citizens of the United States
in order to retain land or to purchase
land
Tt was because of the fact that Mon
golians are the only aliens barred from
citizenship that the president objected
to Mr. Drew's first bill as being dis
criminatory against Japanese and Chi
nese it permitting all other aliens to
hold land by the process of taking out
citizenship papers.
Governor Gillett is not in favor of
the enactment of any law whatever
along these lines.
The bills introduced by Grove L.
Johnson early in the session to pro-
hibit aliens from being members of
boards of directors and segregating
japanese in the public schools and seq
regating all undesirable aliens in resi-
dental districts will be taken up as
special business on Wednesday.
A feature of the fight expected to
develop in the consideration of these
measures will be the determined stand
for the bills taken by a majority of
the members of the San Francisco
delegation and those members in whose
districts are large numbers of Jap
aneSe.
Other measures to be threshed out
in committee and on the floors of the
two branches are those relating to the
Islais creek project and railroad rate
regulation.

people here if their amusements are

protected while in the city. The state
ment Of the league is worth quoting
again on this:
That we have had during the past
TWO years what is known as a wide
open" town; that gambling has existed
unchecked for long periods of time;
that certain saloons and lodging houses
have been allowed to do about as they
pleased, while others have been held
rlgldIy to the law; that thuggery and
mousse breaking have been carried on to
an lntoIerable degree-these things fol-
low as the Inevitable consequences of
the situation described above. 1t is no
consolation to us to be told that our
city is better behaved than San Fran
CISCO or New York or Chicago, if we
know that it is much worse than it has
been under former administrations.
We have the citizenship here for a
WeIl-behaVed toWn-not a closed
town. We are not for prohibition.
but for decent, well regulated saloons
and full compliance with city or
dlnances. The honest liquor men are
ready to obey the law, and they object

thousands Of dollars for stocks" And
we believe that when a new mayor
occupies the chair they will eagerly
cooperate with the police in running
out of town the hOrde~of bad charac-
ters that now infest it.
Main Issue Ignored
"On Saturday the friends of the
mayor were circulating a cartoon de-
crying the expense of the recall cleo
ton, ignoring, as in other arguments,
the main issue. Yet they have in no
way refuted the statement made by
the league which, until it is refuted,
absolutely disposes of the matter of
expense 1t will cost the city treas
ury about $9000,' is the assertion in the
leagues statement. AS the annual ex-
penditures Of the city-including bond
work-are about $9,000,000, and as the
mayor is the general manager of the
whole business that sum is a bagatelle
to pay for getting rid of him. if he is
a mistake. 1t is as though a man
building a $4,000 house should spend
SO in changing from a poor architect
to a capable one. And who knows how
far the value of this may extend into
the future? And is it fair to charge
this expenditure to the people who are
striving to protect the city's reputation

CHAIRMANSHIPS
MUCH COVETED
C0NGRESSMEN DISCUSS PEND
ING APPOINTMENTS
Four Important Prizes to Be Had, and
Rule of Seniority May Meet
with Several Excep-
tions
1Ry Associated Press.1

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-With the
conVening of new congress scarcely
more than a month distant the selec-
ton of standing committees of the next
house and particularly the award of
chairmanships has become the subject
of keen speculation.
The understanding among members
is that the rule of seniority will be
used in the selection of a chairman,
but there were some exceptions.
There are, however, important COM
mittees whose chairmen will not be
members Of the next house and the
selection of their successors is causing
no little speculation.
Among these committees are those
on the judiciary, Of which Mr.. Jenkins
of Wisconsin is chairman; interstate
and foreign commerce, of which Col.
Hepburn of Iowa is chairman; rivers
and harbors, Senator-elect Burton.
chairman, and postoffices and post
roads, Mr.. Overstreet of Indiana, chair
man.
These are four of the more important
committees of the house and the chair
manship of each is highly priced
Representative Alexander of Buffalo,
N. Y. will be the ranking member of
the committee on rivers and harbors
after Mr.. Burton takes his seat in the
senate.
With the renewed agitation in the
middle west for waterway improve
ment there has sprung up a keen desire
to keep the craftsmanship of the rivers
and harbors committee in that terri
tory and the western members want
Representative James H. Davidson of
Wisconsin.
Unless Col. Hepburn of Iowa decides
to contest for his seat in the house and
the Craftsmanship of the committee on
interstate and foreign commerce is left
vacant on that account there will be a
big problem to be solved in that COM
mittee.
The ranking member below Mr.. Hep
burn is James S. Sherman. vice presi-
dent elect. Next come Mr.. Wagner
of Pennsylvania and Mr.. Mann of Illi-
nois, respectively.
1t is generally conceded that Repre-
sentative Perkins of New York will
succeed Mr.. Cousins of Iowa as chair
man of the committee on foreign af-
fairs

PRESIDENT WILL
WALK SO MILES
PLANS TO PERFORM FEAT IN
SINGLE DAY
"Doubting Thomases" of Army and
Navy Will Further Be Shown
ReasonabIeness of Execu-
tiVe's Demands

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-The an
nouncement that President Roosevelt
is planning to walk fifty miles in a
day to prove the reasonableness of the
tasks imposed on army and navy Of
ficers has set Washington circles agog.
Following, as it will, the PRESIDENT s
remarkable horseback ride of ninety
Thomases" of the army and navy, if
the chief executive succeeds in his
latest undertaking, will be forced to
admit that he is indeed the leading
disciple if not the father of outdoor
StrenuoSity.
It has been only a few days since
the president, accompanied by a squad
of army officers and others, INDUCED
in a strenuous walk, or, rather, Il
climb over some of the rougheSt cOun-
try in Maryland.
While many of his companions were
visibly fatigued, the president appeared
at his desk the following morning ap-
parently benefited. During this test
the president purposely selected the
most difficult itinerary to be had, and
led in the numerous climbs.
Considered Remarkable
For man VINO SpenQS at least one
third of his time indoors attending
to the nations responsibilities at his
desk, these physical feats are regarded
the more remarkable. Whether or not
many of the older army officers can
emulate him in his outdoor activities
is problematical.
The president argues that until with
in the last few years too many army
officers have attempted to make a sin
ecure of their work, and that their
lack Of physical endurance in many
instances would have made them un-
able to cope with probable ordeals in
cases of actual war maneuvers. He
wishes to eliminate all possibility of
this deficiency, and although the army
or navy may never be called upon TO
prove their strength, if his plans for
international peace are realized. he
would have them able at a moment S
notice to deal with any reasonable
physical emergency.
To prove that the tasks imposed are
entirely reasonable and to fit himself
for the adventurous hunt in Africa,
the fifty -mile-a-day walk is now
planned. And rumor has it that he will
perform this feat some time in Feb
ruary.
