Sacramento, Cal. Feb. 5.-Speaker er
Philip A. stanton took the floor to-

Iappeal a unanimous consent of the
assembly to postpone further action
on the Japanese school segregation
bill until next Wednesday.
He declared he had information
which he could not reveal, that proved
the assembly was trcading upon dan
gerous ground in passing the anti
Japanese bill yesterday.
AT the conclusion OF the speakers 5
address Grove l.. Johnson, author Of
the measure, asked that the matter of
reconsideration OF yesterdays vote be
put over to Wednesday and his mo.
ton carried without dissent
The governor sent special mes
sage to the house raising the point of

Governor Gillett's message follows.

IA, which provides that boards of
school teachers shall have the power
to establish separate schools for chill
dren of Japanese and that thereafter
they shall not be admitted into any

spectfuIly request you to reconsider
the vote by which said bill was passed
and take the matter up for further
and most careful consideration.
Within few hours after the pas
sage of the said bill the president OF
the United States sent me a telegram
containing the following language.
This is the most offensive bill Of
all, and, in my judgment is clearly UNI
constitutional and we shall at once
move to test it in the courts. Can it
not be stopped in the legislature or
by yeto?''
A telegram so forcible as this
coming from the president of the
United states is entitled to full con-
sidcration ana demands that no hasty
or i'll considered action be taken by
this state which may involve the
whole country.
Two years ago the question now un

because of a resolution adopted by
the board Of education Of san Fran

TIE "CLEAN SWEEP" SALE
Heehts' Annual Event Is Eagerly
Anticipated.
Each Department VIII Contribute
Its Full Share 10 the Sale, and
Prices Are Attractive.

Years ago when the Hecht stores inau-
gurated the custom OF a ssmi-annual
stock clearance and called II the clean
sweep" the hearty Endorsement Of the
people gave the event a place in the an
nails OF Washington merchandising held
by no other occasion Of the kind In the
history Of the city.
Washingtonians are more OF less IA
miliar with the sales Of various kinds and
for various pretex,s. Il is said that no
other store at any time places its en-
tire stock in a forced clearance at prices
which admit OF no profit whatever; but
IN this sale prices IN nearly every in
stance are substantially below cost
As stated by a member Of this we'll
known firm yesterday. these clean
sweep sales are arranged. not for the
purpose Of profit making, but in order 10
clear out stocks prior to stock-taking.
when every eGOrt is made 20 have the
lines at their lowest level And the
feature which commends them 20 the
well-infOrmed shopper is that they are
not timed for the end OF the season,
when the need for the goods has prac-
tically passed. but always occur at the
height OF the season, when the demand
and need are greatest
The July "clean-sweep" sale al the
Hecht stores will begin this morning.
and the firm states that never before
have the attractions been SO great or
the underpricing so decisive. Every de-
partment and every line has its fun
share in the clearance selling. and the
price reductions will undoubtedly create
the biggest kind Of a sensation.
OF course the Hecht stores VIII
gladly open an account whether pur-
chases are large or small. and payment
can be made IN such sums and al such
dates as viii be entirely convenient.
That this plan has proved immensely at
tractive is shown by the fact that over
$4,000 accounts have been opened by the
house, and the number is constantly in
creasing.
