Governor Gillett Tells Times
Representative United
States Is So Informed.
THINKS HE WILL
HEAD OFF LAW
Executive Says War Is Not IN
likely If Measures Pass
Assembly.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. .7eb. Japan
has served notice on the United states
that If the auti-Japanese bills pending
in the California Legislature are pass
ed such action will be regarded as a
breach of faith. according 10 Governor
Gulett OF California in conversation
with The Times representative at the
Fairmont Hotel this morning.
While extremely guarded In his views
a to just how far the present anti
japanese agitation was likely to involve
this country, Governor GllIett admitted
that the situation. I'm his judgment
had reached q critical stage and no one
could forsee the results Of drastic legis-
lative action on the part OF the Cali
fornia LeEislture-
Has Served Notice.
81 have not conferred today with any
members 3f the Legislature" said Gov
ernor Giueu Nothing has passed be-
tween myself ana speaker Stanton on
the subject Of anti-JapaDese legislation.
I do know. though that Japan has
served notice on the United States that
if the bills were passed it would be re-
garded as a breach Of faith A breach
OF faith. added the governor significant
Iy, 'is a serious matter between ma
tions No matter how weak a nation is.
If its honor is as stake, war is not
unlikely"
Governor GUlett added that Speaker
Stanton's plea to the Legislature for de
lay In passing the proposed anti-Jap-
anese bills was a matter which hey che
speaker. did voluntarily, and was not
advised by him. When asked if Speaker
day his threat 10 make it impossible to
force the passage of the proposed anti
japanese legislation, tnC governor said
he did not know just what the speaker
had IN reserve The governor intiEnaled
that Speaker Stanton has received sd-
vices from President Roosevelt, which
have strengthened his position
Final Success Sure.
In conclusion, Governor Ginett said
ne felt no uneasiness as to the ulti-
mate success of his fight against the oh
jectlOnable legislation
He said he had no fear that the Legis-
latuFe, In the face of the present DUpO-
siton, would take up the antl-aien bills
as a Wnole and pass them. This threat
has been made by friends Of Assembly,
man Drew, father OF the more drastic
antl-Japanese legislation.
A report tuaL Governor Glllett came
TO san Francisco 10 organize the militia
for coast defense was vigorously denied
by the executive. This report, accord
ing 10 Governor Gilett, probably grew
out Of the action of the Federal Govern
meut IN proposlnE 20 az once begin the
work or strengthening the present Pa
cifir coast defeuceE.

Thus might the silvery-lipped champion Of
that sacred ratio sing and in his song OF
prosperity might the fluent editor of his
Commoner join without asking the pardon
of any other man on earth.
It's a long span from the calamity days
Of old to the present piping times OF peace
and plenty, and it's a far cry from the old
Bryan who tOiled out his daily bread in the
ordinary grind OF a newspaper office. But
the story of Mr.. Bryan's wealth is an old
one. Interest now centers on the splendid
prosperity Of Richard l. Metcalfe, the man
who stood beside and behind Bryan from
the days Of infancy in his eternal chase
for the presidency and who has been first
and foremost in preaching the doctrine of
the Peerless Leader.
How these two men marched from the
obseurity Of poverty to the limelight Of

EAGER TO HEAR THE WOMAN
Law Officers Believe Mrs. Philips
Will Tell Facts at Investigation.
IMPORTANT STORY IS EXPECTED
Wife of Supposed Slayer of NJ. G.
Hamilton Delayed at Grand Is
land on Way to
Omaha.

Mrs. James Philips. wife Of the supposed
murderer of Marshall c, Hamilton, who
was expected to arrive m Omaha from
81. Paul yesterday afternoon, failed to get
here, and 1t was reported that she was
taken suddenly i'll at Grand Island and
had to remain there. When she comes
she is expected to render valuable testi-
mony, probably OF a salacious sort.
Her story of the relations existing be-
tween Hamilton and herself and between
Hamilton and Philips. her husband, is
greatly desired by the sheriff that it may
be told to the coroner's jury, which meets
this morning at 10 o'clock.
At the depot yesterday afternoon to meet
Mrs Philips was the mother of the sup
posed murderer. She was accompanied by
Edward Davis, a farmer who has lived a
neighbor to the Philips family for years.
Mrs. Philips refused to discuss the case.
She was asked where her daughter-in-law
might stay in Grand Island and replied
she did not know She said the woman had
no relatives there. She had received no
word Of the reported illness of her SON. )
wife.
Davis was asked what he knew about the
relations between Hamilton and Mrs.
James Philips. He said he thought they
were altogether too intimate. He had OBJ
served several things which he believed
would have made any man jealous OF his
wife
Philips is still at large. Sheriff Bradley
and his deputies are persisting In their
search for him and believe him to be
esconced somewhere In or about Omaha,
