ANTl-JAPANESE MEASURES
IN CALIFORNIA ASSEMBLY

Sacramento, Cal, Jan. 16.-The three
anti-Japanese bills introduced in the
assembly by Grove l.. Johnson, OF Sac
ramento, and the one by A. M. Drew. of
Fresno, prohibiting aliens from holding
land in the state have attracted such
wide interest that the 1000 copies print
ed of each are already exhausted and
there is u demand for more.
The Johnson bill is designed to pre-
vent Japanese being directors of cor
p~orations, to segregate their children
in the schools and to segregate all Jap
anese by defining the limits within
which they must live. The bill relating
to directors of corporations prohibits all
aliens from being members of such
boards, n it's purpose is to prevent
competition Of powerful Japanese con-
Germs with Americans.
The third Johnson bill gives munich
palities power to prescribe the limits
within which undesirable, improper
and unhealthy persons whose prac-
tees are dangerous to the public NOR
ais Of a community" shall live.
II regard the presence of Japanese as
more dangerous a hundredfold than
that of Chinese. In our schools, Japa~
nese youths Of 16 to 10 years, with
their characteristic disregard for the
virtue Of women, should not be permit
ted to sit beside our own children. They
are a menace to the girlhoOd of the
state,'' said Representative Johnson.

WORLD FLEET TO END
TOUR WITH BIG RACE.
President Wants Spectacular
Speed Contest as Farewell
to Office.

New York, Jan! 15-The president has
given carte blanche TO Rear Admiral
S%perry's Pacific fleet, returning from
it's world girdling tour, to cut loose at
ter leaving Gibraltar and race across
the Atlantic, ship against ship and
may the best boat win"
This will probably be n last chance
Of President Roosevelt, whose blood
runs strong in sporting corpuscles, TO
give loose rein to his pro-
pensities and afford the nation and the
world a spectacle.
This information came out through
a message received from Dorchester.
Mass, the home OF James b. Connolly,
the sea writer and romancer, who is a
~favorite with President Roosevelt.
Mr.. Connolly, according to the mes
sage, has been invited, nay urged, by
Mr.. President, real head of the navy,
10 cross the ocean TO the Mediterranean
and return with the fleet as the
Veracious chronicler of the rae against
time and the competition for glory and
records.
Mr.. Connolly has not yet decided IL
he will accept the presidents invita-
ton. The sea writer has been invited
TO be the guest OF Captain w. b. Potter
on board the United States battleship
Vermont. If Mr.. Connolly decides to
write the story OF what will prove an
historic event in the annals OF warship
racing, he will probably sail on the
next trip Of the Carmania to the Med
and board the Vermont at
Gibraltar.

BALKAN WAR CLOUD
THREATENS NO MORE

Constantinople, Jan. 15.-There is lit
tie doubt that parliament will ratify
the Austro-Hungarian offer of indem-
nifty for the annexation of Bosnia n
Herzegovina, and that the Austrian
boycott will be raised Immediately.
1t is believed that the ambassadors
of Great Britain, Germany. France II
Italy all advised Kiamil Pasha to ac-
cept the offer, and that although both
the young Turkey committee and the
boycott committee were against the ac-
c%eptance they will Loyalty accept the
governments decision.
The greatest satisfaction is expressed
OH all sides at the successful conclu-
sion of the negotiations, as it is believed
war will now be averted. The next care
of the Austro-Hungarian government
will be to rebuild the Austrian trade in
Turkey by the removal of the boycott
which led to it's collapse. The govern
ment continues in the belief that Ser
via has no grounds for complaint, and
as a protection against any surprise
will keep up military preparations IN
the annexed provinces and on the Ser
Wan and Montenegro frontiers.

FEARS FOR MONARCHY

Lisbon. via Badajos, Spain, Jan. 14-InI
order to dissipate the rumors current here
that his recent illness had entailed lung
trouble, King Manuel, attired in the uni,
form of a field marshal, yesterday rode
through the principal streets, followed by,
a brilliant staff, and it was noted that the
king was very pale and that he sat on his
horse with difficulty. Afterward he went
aboard the royal yacht, Amelia. His
physicians are insisting that the king.
make frequent cruises In the hope that
the sea air will strengthen his constitu-
tlonal weakness.
1t is said that the Duke of Oporto, the
kings uncle, n heir apparent to the
Portuguese throne, has declared that in
the event OF Manuels death nothing could
Undue him to assume the crown. In
such a circumstance as this there is no
other descendant of the royal family In

GOMPERS ASKS FRIENDS
TO APPEAL LAB0R'S CASE

washington, Jan. 14-President Com
pers, of the American Federation or

Dor and it's friends for necessary n
to prosecute an appeal from h Judge
Wright decision In the contempt case,
or of abandoning it altogether.
I'm view OF the Industrial depression
and the large number of men unem-
ployed, 1t is most improper for us to
levy new assessments said Mr.. Com
pers today. I'VE should either make
an appeal to all labor n our friends
for such financial contribution as they
can make to the enormo expense or
the legal defense Of our case, or we
should authorize the abandonment OF
any attempt at defense and appeal.
whichever course you may determine
is the wisest or most practical or In
eyitable is entirely agreeable to me, n
/ shall willingly abide by it,
This decision was made known by
Mr.. Gompers to the council
Of the American Federation or Labor,
which assembled here to consider the
subject. Mr.. Gompers declared the fed
Grafton had practically exhausted all
it's available funds.
President Gompers said counsel for
the Buck Stove and Range company,
In an address before the citizens alli-
ance, one of Van Cleave's organiza-
tons, some months ago, boosted OF his
achievements, that the legal expenses
of the federation in these suits had al
ready amounted to $4,000, n with
more yet to come.
Mr.. Gompers stated that Justice
Wright refused on several occasions
the request OF John Mitchell foS a
-postponement In rendering his decision.
Mr.. Mitchell based his desire for a de-
Law on the fact that he had never be-
fore been away from home on Christ
mas and that II was his desire TO be
with his family at that time.
