Washington, Feb. 4. - President
Roosevelt sent for Senators New.
lands and Nixon Of Nevada and Borah
of Idaho and talked over the Japanese
situation with them. The president
had said that he would not take any
action relative to the work Of the
lower house Of the Nevada legisla,
ture in denouncing the Japanese, but
despite the fact that the two Nevada
senators would not talk it is under.
stood they took away with them re.
quests to get into touch at once with
the members of the Nevada state sen.
ate and stop further progress of the
resolution now before that body. The
fact that Senator Newlands is Dem.
ocrat and Senator Nixon a Repub.
lican makes it possible to influence
the state senate to the extent of hold
ing up the resolution that has gone
through the house. Senator Borah's
visit was to tell the president that he
did not look for any outbreak in his
state such as that in Nevada.
~
Nixon Appeals to Legislators.
After leaving the White House Sen:
ator Nixon sent the following tele.
gram to the president of the Nevada
senate and the speaker of the Assem-,
bly,:
"The Japanese question, like the
Chinese question, is non-partisan to
all Nevada's citizens. I take it that
the object of the resolution now be.
fore the Nevada legislature is seri-
Gus one and was introduced for the
purpose of securing beneficial results.
Personally I have no desire to inject
my views, but after a conversation
with the president feel that it is my
duty as a representative of the people
of Nevada to suggest to the legisla-
ture, through you gentlemen, that the
very object of the resolution may be
injured by radical action at this time"
The president assured the Nevada
senators that his only desire in the
Japanese matter was to promote the
general welfare and he urged the ne
cessity of avoiding all complications
possible. -1
