 Sacramento. Cal. Feb s.-with the defeat in the lower house Thursday of two of the and-Japansse measures, followed by the unexpected passage oi third bill segresating Japanese school children ln separate schools along with Chinese. Koreans and other Asiatics. regarded as the most omen sivs measure of all. President koose velt again has taken a hand In the anti-Japanese legislation that Tor the last week has drawn international al tention to California. Hardly had me bill been passed by the assembly De. fore Gov. Gflett received the follow ing message from the president:
 U. N. Ginett, Governor of Califor nia: Your kind letter just received What is the rumor that the California legislature has passed bill excluding tho Japanese children from the public schools? This Is the most offensive bill of all, and in my judgment Is clearly unconstitutional and we should at once have 10 test it In the courts Can 1t be stopped in the legislature or by veto ?-Theodore Roosevelt"
 The governor at once sent reply, the nature of which he declines at this time to make public and he requested from the president an immediate an swer. Pending the receipt of another telegram from President Roosevelt, Gov. Gillett declined to discuss the action of the assembly.
 The bill passed Thursday, which was one of three anti-Japaness meas ures introduced by Assemblyman Grove L. Johnson, places the Japanese in the same classification with other Asiatics and inserts the word Jap anese" in the present state statute providing for the segregation in sep arate schools of Mongolian children.
 By this action, the lower house of the California legislature has taken the step which the board of education of San Francisco intended to take two years ago, but which was abandoned after the board and former Mayor Eugene E. Schmitz were called to Washington, and had several confer. ences with President Roosevelt.
 Washington, Feb. 6.-News of the passage by the California assembl! Thursday of the bill providing for the segregation of Japanese school chil dren was received in official quarters here with surprise and consternation President Roosevelt immediately sent to Gov. Gillett telegram in which he described the bill as "the most of fensive bill of all" and clearly un constitutional"
 Gov. Gillett's telegraphic reply tC the president was not made public Thursday night, nor could 1t b' learned whether the president sem him an immediate reply.
 President Roosevelt indicates clear ly in his telegram to Gov. Gillett that he has not changed in his attitude oi two years ago, when he declared ir his annual message to congress, sub mitted just before the visit of the Sar Francisco delegation that ito shut them (the Japanese) out from the common schools is wicked absurd ity, when there are no firstclass col leges in the land, including the uni versailles and colleges of California which do not gladly welcome Japanese students. and on which Japanese students do not reflect credit"
 We have as much to learn sait the president at that time. from Ja pan, as Japan has to learn from us and no nation is fit to teach unless Il is also willing to learn"

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

Mergenthaler made good progress today
on the return toward the high point
which was recently held by that security.
At the meeting of the Stock Exchange
it sold as high as 207. an advance of a
point and a quarter over the selling price
Of Saturday. 1t was selling in Boston to-
day-the other principal market for the
stock beside the one in this city-at less
than the level of the sales here Saturday.
SO that some Of the brokers made a turn
by buying at the low figures in Boston
and selling at the advance in this city.
Saturday the best selling price was
20JA, while today the stock sold at 2O1
and couple of lots at an eighth of a
point less, and one lot at z08. A bid of
2O7 was made at the close. with the ask
ing price an eighth of point higher.
The latest theory advanced as to what
the company intends to do to finance the
recent purchase of the foreign companies
is that the money required will be taken
from the surplus, and will not be secured
by issuing stock to the stockholders at
500. on the basis of one share OF new
stock for every ten shares OF outstanding
stock held.
There are some, however. who believe
that stock will be issued and that 1t will
be at par which will be equivalent to a
dividend of more than SO share at the
current market rate. Whatever will be
done. it is quite evident there is a de-
mand for the stock at the advanced fig
ureS.
In the new edition, issued today, OF
Washington securities, the manual of the
securities listed on the local exchange. a
statement is made about the Colonial
Beach Company, although its stock and
bonds are not as yet listed. This COM
pany was recently organized under the
laws of Virginia. with a capital of $780,
900 and an authorized issue of first mort
gage per cent bonds amounting to
$500, ,00C.
The company owns the resort of that
and the steamer ST. johns. The proper
ties were formerly owned and managed
by the Washington and Potomac Steam
boat Company, and were sold under fore
closeure proceedings. The president OF
the company is Colin II. Livingstone.
Another company representing the same
interests recently purchased the boats
used by the old concern in the river trade
and it is the intention to carry on that
business. but under a distinct manage
ment from that Of the resort properties.
The compiler of the new issue Of the
manual of local securities. Eugene +.

day from brokers and others In financial
circles who have looked over the new
volume and find not only the features
