Police Sergeant Joseph b, Williams,
OF East Orange. last night applied for
retirement. on half pay, 10 the police
committee of the City Council. and it
is probable the request will be granted.
He presented the certificate of DR.. ].
Minor Maghee, which reeited tllat the
sergeant was suffering from tic dou-
loureux. defined as "a painful affec-
tion of a nerve, coming on in sudden
attacks, usually in the head"
Sergeant Williams also stated TO the
committee that he was Go years old.
and had served in the department since
it was organized. about twenty-three
years ago. and his eyesight was poor
DR.. Maghee wrote that a person s1f-
fering from the disease mentioned is
incapable of performing properly any
work requiring mental effort.
The committee ascertained that the
pension fund would allow for the re-
tirement of Sergeant Williams. and the
change meant no extra burden on the
taxpayers. Councilmen Merrill and
Bancroft favored having City Counsel
Jerome ID. Gedney look into the matter
further. WHICH the other members of
the committee believed the proper pro-
cedure. and the resolution may be
offered at the next Council meeting.
Sergeant William HUFF is also be-
lieved to be candidate for retirement.
He will be 81 years old on February 10.

zation. Former Chief Henry Blaurock

INTERFERENCE OF
EAST IN JAPANESE
PROBLEM SCORED
California and Nevada Say
Critics OF Exclusion Have
Sordid Motives.
WARNING NOTE GIVEN
BY COAST NEWSPAPER
Declares Asiatics Must Be Ex-
cluded by Domestic Law to
Save Country to Whites.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 3.--With two
nations stirred to fever pitch over
the anu-Japanese measures of two
States, the people of California. are be-
ginning to wake up and ask what it is
all about. The outburst of the Nevada
Legislature was unexpected, but it has
not caused great deal of comment in
this State, and with the exception of
the Asiatic Exclusion League, no one is
engaging in the fight.
But these facts are not generally ac-
cepted as an indication that the people
of the State are mott genuinely inter
ested in the Oriental race problem. The
interest of the agriculturists is indi-
Gated by the bill to prohibit the owner
ship of property, which was introduced
by A. M. Drew, of Fresno. the centre
of one of the largest orchard and vine
yard districts of the State.
The other bills were introduced by
Grove l.. Johnson. who halls from the
Sacramento Valley, where the Japanese
are regarded with considerable hostil-
ity by people of all classes. This feel
ing has been intensified by the acquisi-
ton in late. years by the Japanese of
large tracts of orchard and garden
lands
The criticisms of the Eeastern press
on the anti-Japanese feeling in this
State has aroused a storm of protest
from the papers of California. The
California papers generally complain
that the real attitude of the people of
this State is not understood east. Most
of these papers regard the exclusion of
the Japanese to be both necessary and
inevitable, and they express the fear
that the State Legislature will retard
rather than to advance this solution
of the problem
The San Francisco Chr lnicle today
complains that the feeling against Cali
fornia in the East is entirely based on
two main motives. both sordid one
is to KEEP solid with Japan and thereby
promote the sale of cotton goods and
kerosene no matter at what cost to the
unfortunate people of the Pacific coast,
and the other is to force Congress to
make heavier appropriations for the
army and navy"
The paper predicts the exclusion of
Japanese by domestic law as the only
logical solution of the problem. and it
maintains that in this desire to keep
the Pacific coast "a white mans couil-
try" two-thirds of the people Of the
country are with California.
