.GILLETT DENIES
FEAR OF CLASH
VISIT TO SAN FRANCISCO Is
NOT ABOUT JAPANESE
Says He Has No knowledge of Phil
Stanton's Message from the Presi-
dent-Says Roosevelt Has
Good Reasons

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 6.-Governor
James n. Gtllett, whose arrival from
Sacramento today was attributed gen
orally to a desire for a conference with
LEGAL officials relative to anti-Japanese
legislation pending at Sacramento, dis
claimed tonight any such intention.
Further, Governor Gillett allowed il
to be inferred he was free to devote a
day or two to matters apart from the
bills which have led to the intervention
of President Roosevelt and members of
his cabinet.
The governors one announcement OF
special interest was the statement that
Speaker Philip A. Stanton of the as
sembly was in possession of a tele-
gram from the president, but the con-
tents of this telegram the governor did
not know. Speaker Stanton, he said,
had been given permission to make it
public if he deemed it advisable.
Are you aware of any information of
a disturbing character that would ac-
count for the official action thus far
taken?" was asked.
'I am not" replied the governor
Has Mr.. Stanton communicated to
you the matters which led to his ex-
preston of belief that the legislature
was treading on dangerous ground?"
He has not" said the governor.
To-day L received from the president a
telegram in Which he thanked me for
the service he was pleased to think I
had rendered, and expressed a hope
that the matters in issue would be sat
isfactorily settled.
I'm addition, he said he had commu-
nicated by telegram with Speaker
Stanton, and that he had left with
Mr.. Stanton the decision as to whether
or not the telegram should be given
publicity.

TAMPA, Fla, Feb. 6.-While return
ing from Sutherland college, where he
delivered his lecture, "The Prince of
Peace" this evening, William ]. Bryan
came near losing his life.
A big automobile in which he was
riding threw a tire on a bridge near
Tarpon springs and plunged into the
trestle work, throwing the occupants
out.
Mr.. Bryan was on the side next to
that which struck the woodwork and
was jammed against a rail and suf-
fered considerable injury
At first it was thought his leg was
broken, but when he arrived at Tampa
an examination showed that the leg
was only badly bruised.
Mr.. Bryan is scheduled to appear at
St. Louis soon and at Springfield, Ill,
on February 12, Lincolns birthday,
where he is to make the principal ad-
dress. 1t may be he will have to can
eel these dates.
He is confined to his room at the
Tampa Bay hotel and suffers consid-
erable pain.

PASSED. And L will say further that I
am of the opinion that good counsel
will prevail and it will not be passed.
There are some leading interests in
the state that are demanding action.
and they should be aroused to the situ-
alton, realize what is at stake and
change their course. There are some
strong influences at work in the legis-
lature to put the measure through, and
it would be a good thing for the lead
ing men of every community to unite
in seeing that it does not pass.
"I believe that the Southern Cali
fornia delegation will stand together on
this proposition and do what they can
to save the day. When the time for
reconsideration comes it is reasonable
to believe that those who have been
firmly advocating some radical action
will see the light and assume differ

Mr.. Stanton arrived in Los Angeles
yesterday to pass Sunday at his home
in this city. He is much aroused over
the present national agitation on the
subject of the anti-Japanese bill, and
strongly upholds the president and
Governor Gillett in declaring that a
spirit of moderation must prevail.
Realizing that crisis is at hand, and
believing that the president means
what he says when he declares that
the peace of the two nations demands
no action at this time, Speaker Stanton
says: "I know that the state cannot
afford to have this anti-school bill

THE RECALL

NTEETING will be held early
MI this week to select a man
AL to be nominated to succeed
Mayor Harper.
Members of Municipal league
say question is not of man who
can be elected, as there are hum
dreds who might defeat Harper,
but that issue is why he should
be beaten, and that no doubt ex-
lists of his recall.
Petitions have so many names
that lists now out may be with
drawn any day, date depending
on progress in checking from
great register.
Members of churches ask privi-
lege of signing recall petitions at
church doors, and petitions will
be placed at many churches this

"There are fifty men who can defeat

of offices yesterday, and it was evil
IDENTIFY an opinion held by many per-
sons following the knowledge that Mr.
Stephens would be unable to make the
race. None of the men interested in
forwarding the recall movement ex-
pressed any feeling of worry over the
choice of a man to take the place of
the present mayor, sometimes referred
to by the Los Angeles Times as Eddie
Morris bosom friend, A. c."
Judge John D. Works, who as chair
man of the meeting which asked Mr..
Stephens for permission to place his
name in nomination, has authority by
a resolution of the meeting to call an
other meeting, and he will do this Mon
day, probably designating that the
meeting be held some time this week.
At the meeting he will announce the
two committees authorized at the Sym
phony hall gathering. One of these is
a committee of ten to draw up set of
resolutions that will virtually be the
platform for the campaign. The other
committee is to have a membership, of
twenty five. and will act as manag-
ing body for the nomination and cleo
ton of the man chosen to lead the fight
against Mayor Harper.
To Receive Report
The meeting will receive a most en-
couraging report on the progress for
the recall. Those who wish to get on
the roll of honor had better sign the
recall petition quickly said J. o. Steele
yesterday, "for we are likely to close
up the canvass any day now. We have
asked all canvassers to report by Mon
day noon, including volunteers, and
may find that we are far enough ahead
with the checking to call in ALI petit
