STAN I ON IN
RECEIPT I OF
TELEGRAM
GiIlett Believes President
Has Splendid Reasons for
Urgent Appeal

San Francisco, Feb. 6.-Governor
James y. Glllett, whose arrival from
Sacramento today WAS generally at
trlbuted TO desire for conference
with local officials In regard to the
anti-Japanese legislation, pending at
Sacramento. disclaimed tonight that
he had any such intention. Further
more, he allowed it to be understood
that he was at liberty TO devote a day
or two to matters apart from the bills
that had aroused the Intervention of
President Roosevelt and members of
his cabinet His one announcement
of interest was the statement that
Speaker Philip A. Stanton Of the as
sem6ly was In possession of a tele-
gram from the president, the contents
OF which the governor did not know,
but which Speaker Stanton had been
given permission TO make public II he
saw fit.
Are you aware of any information
Of a disturbing character that would
account for official action thus far
taken7' was asked.
II 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 ground7'
II am not" said Governor Gillett.
To-day l received from the president
telegram In which he thanked me
for the service he was pleased to think
| had rendered and expressed a hope
that the matters in issue would be sat
isfactorlly settled. In addition. he
said that he had communicated by
telegram with Speaker Stanton and
that he had left with Mr.. Stanton the
decision as to whether or not the telc-
gram should be given publicity. Tho
speaker started for his home in Los
Angeles without acqualnting me with
his receipt of such a message and I
have not learned Its contents.
81 have made up my mind that the
president and the members OF his cab
met are not taking this stand unless
there are splendid reasons for their
doing so Any one might draw that
conclusion from the matters already
made public. This information Is de-
IlNtu llolu lilS lcnoI duu urgent CHAR
acter of the messages they have sent.
Il do not believe the legislature will
commit Itself to any undertaking that
does not reflect the sentiment OF the
entire state. nor do I think that any
action Will be taken without giving
this complicated matter the attention
It merits. Ny last word upon the sub
Ject is fully expressed in the message
sent to the assembly yesterday. urg.

Japanese Situation Has
Nothing TO Do With Pre-

Sacramento. Feb. 6.-Adjutant Cen
eral Lauck was emphatic In making
the statement today that the renewed
activities in his department, at the
request OF the war department at
Washington for the organization OF
sixteen companies Of artillery for
coast defense. were not the result of
the passage by the assembly of the
anti.Japanese school bill General
Lauck declared that neither the gov
ernor nor himself had the Japanese
situation in mind when 1t was decided
to accede. If possible. to the request
of the federal officials and establish an
adequate coast defense.
When Lauck submitted recently to
State Controller Nye, his estimate
OF S525.000 for the expenses of
the national guard during the next
two years, the controller cut 1t
down by $67.400. which sum the
adjutant general states In clud-
ed $4,000 for the maintenance of
the sixteen additional companies ask
ed for by the national government
Unless the finance and ways and
means committees of the senate and
assembly respectively, disregarded the
controllers recommendation and put
back the $4,000 deemed necessary.
said Lauck, 1t would be useless to at
empt to acceIe to the war depart
ments request
Sevearl months ago the adjutant
general declined to assign the sixteen
companies for the purpose of manning
the guns along the coast on the ground
that II would he unfair to take that
number from the three regiments OF
state militia left after the re-organiZa-
ton that had just been effected.
On January 9. the war department
appealed to Governor Gillett to organ
ize the new companies, but 1t was not
two weeks later that the chief e1ecu-
tive and his adjutant decided to act.
The governor agreed with Lauck that
by securing the services Of business
men and men of family, who did not
desire to leave the communities In
which they resided In the event Of hos
tilities, such companies might be or
ganized with good results Following
this policy an effort is being made to
raise fourteen companies in San Fran
