to the suffering people, and at the
same time had tents erected all over

San Francisco relative to matters
now pending before the California
Legislature the Japanese newspapers
hsre today elaborate upon the danger
of strained relations that may arise

bidding the ownership Of lard and
the attendance at public schools by
japanese residents of the state.

the passage of the bills as a probable
ity and protest against them as an in
