NO BONDING OF JAPANESE.
Rumor Denied Of Proposed Wash

OLYMPIA, Wash, February 1.-Both

tention to adopt legislation attempting

from Secretary OF State Bacon:

measure been thought of. and the uues-
ton is raised to whether the state Of

NEW YORK, February John Bar

of Banking last night, appealed to his
hearers and the public to support the gov

secure the preservation of national honor

He declared this country to be unpre-

with Japan would be, and said that If

not designed to deprive children of Indian,

HISTORY OF THE SCHOOL BILL.
Vote Yesterday the elimination Of
Long, Hard Fight.

SACRAMENTO. Cal. February 1.-THE
anti-Japsnese mea sure defeated yesterday
in the California legislature has been the
sensation of two legislatures. 1t was first
introduced At the session two years ago
by Grove l.. Johnson of Sacramento ex-
representative from this district and a
member of the state king body
for many years. :. 1t was framed at the
request of the San Francisco board of ed
ucation after the latter had passed a res
olution barring japanese children from
the schools attended by white scholars
and assigning them to the institutions at
tended by Chinese.
The bill specified that Mongolians and
Indians should be segregated. and the
boards action was based on the conten-
ton that the Japanese belonged to the
Monaghan race. This the Japanese de-
MED as streuuously.
The Washington Conference.
The mikado's government protested to
President Roosevelt, and the members of
the school board. headed by the then
mayor Eugene E. Schmitz. were sum-
moned to a conference at Washington by
the chief executive of the nation. The
President sent an urgent message to the
governor and the legislature of this state
asking that the bill be withdrawn, at least
for the period of two years, assuring
them that in the meantime a treaty would
be negotiated in which Japan was to do
all in her power to restrict the Japanese

SPOKANE PUTS UP
POSTAGE
Especial to Silver State News)


SPOKANE, Wash, August AR
engagements were completed by
the Spokane chamber of to
provide full postage for all the un-
stamped envelopes, containing appli-
cations for registration on lands in
the three Indian reservations, mailed
in Spokane, Occur d'Alene, Idaho, and
Missoula and k~alispell, Mont. thus as
surfing to every person registered be-
fore midnight on August 5 an ever
chance in the drawings beginning the
morning of August g..
Frank e. Smith, baseball fan and
patron of amateur sports, originated
the plan and was the first subscriber
to the fund, which was raised in an
hour. When he learned that more than
1 400 unstamped envelopes were held
in tn eSpokane postoffice and as many
more at the three other registry points
be realized that several thousand per
sons would thus be deprived of the
opportunity to participate in Uncle
Sans big lottery.
He brought the matter to the atten-
ton of L. G.. Monroe, secretary of the
commercial organization, with the re.
suit that sufficient funds were for
warded to the postmasters of the four
cities to insure the delivery of every
unstamped letter to James w. Witten,
superintendent or the opening, at
Occur d'Alene, Idaho.
"More than 100000 persons were
registered and it is a conservative esti.
mate that at least two per cent ne
elected to provide postage to carry
the applications. which many came
thousands Of miles to procure, to their
destination. = Mr.. Smith said. eft
would be unfortunate to deprive these
people of the chance to take part In
the drawing, as would be the case if
they waited for the return of the APP
plications from the dead letter office.
Paying for all the letters held for post
age is the only way to make certain
that none was left out, as there are
no marks by which an individual en-
velope can be distinguished.
