By Associated Press.

SACRAMENTO, Feb 1.-Whils kha letter of the president to the goveZRsr regarding the Japanese question has made a deep impression on the lsgisk lature, tae two leading anti-Japansss\ members of the assembly assumed to- day defiant attitude and declared they will push their measures to vote as soon as possible.

By Associated Press.
 SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 1.-The ti- tie to thousands of acres of fertile land, lying for the most part in San Bernardino county, reverted to the government today under a ruling of the circuit court of appeals, which de- cleared the Southern Pacific had no title to the disputed territory.
 The land was originally granted by the government to the Atlantic 6 Pa eiie Railroad, a corporation formed in the early days of the state, which never built a line.
 Later the ground passed to the Southern Pacific from this corporation but the cancellation of the Atlantic 6 Pacific railroad grant was held to ter minate the Southern Pacifc's right to the land.
 Since the grant was made much of the land has been disposed of, oceu- pied now by ranehers.

Start Anti Japanese Bills And Tell California To Disregard The
 President
DO NOT BELIEVE JAPAN IS
 WAR WISHING
BUT THINK PRESENT TIME IS GOOD AS ANY TIME TO GIVE NIPPON
 BEATING
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press
 CARSON, New. IA resolution in Sroduced in the assembly of the Ne vada legislature this afternoon by Speaker Gifen, which it is believed will be adopted, is anti-Japanese in every particular.
 After acknowledging the fact that Japanese are acquiring land and prop erty in this and other states, the reso- lution says the president has seen fit to take advantage of his office to the extent of attempting to eoerce and in timidate legislation in California, and views with alarm the attempted en- croachment of the government on states rights.
 Resolved, that we, the people of the state of Nevada" it continues, represented in the senate and assem- bly, hereby recomend to the state of California that it pay no attention whatever to the admonishing of the president in this particular, and go ahead and enact such stringent meas ures as will absolutely stop forthwith the encroachment of Japanese, further acquiring foothold in the nation, and whereas, we believe there is no danger of a war with Japanese, but believe if we must have war with the Japanese sooner or later, now is a better time to lay down terms to that empire and teach those arrogant people that Amer jean rights cannot be enerOached upon.
 "They cannot and never will be al lowed to acquire foothold in this country, or assimilate with our race, and further to censure President Roo sevelt for his unealled-for interference and attempting to deprive the citizens of the great commonwealth of Califor- mia by threats and coercion from exer- .cising their lawful rights in protecting themselves from Japanese hordes."
 It further provides that a copy be forwarded to representatives of Neva- ds in congress, urging them to use their influence toward enacting a Chi aese-Japanese exclusion act.

the objects of the law is to inform
the consumer of the presence of'cer-

The law requires that the amount
of chloroform, opium, morphine,

stated on the label Of each bottle.
The manufacturers of Chamberlain's

that their remedy did not contain
any of these drugs, and the truth OF
this claim is now fully proven, as not
mention of them is made on the label.
