men that ever sat in the California
legislature, were other absentees who
received identical letters.
Wheelan ran to the assembly for pro-
lection from the ravening wolves that
would make their records public prop
erty after giving them chance to ex-
plain their acts and put themselves in
the right light. Wheelan pleaded a
question of personal privilege and the
dogs of war were loosed upon the in
famous peoples lobby"
Feeley moved that the assembly take
the newspaper credentials away from
Anderson. Speaker Stanton could not
discover what rule had been violated
by Anderson. but there was nothing
for him to do but sit back and watch
the storm of outraged Righteousness
which threatened wreck and disaster
for a half hour.
Beardslee said that the honor OF
his brother Wheelan" had been as
sailed. Rather would he shed his
life blood and endless oratory, than
subject Wheelan to the impertinent
queries of any representative of thS
people.

Indignation Expressed

Indignation was general among the
members of the Peoples legislative bu-
reau in San Francisco yesterday when
tney learned that George B. Anderson
one Of their representatives in Sacra
mento, had been expelled from the floor
OF the assembly because of a letter he
mad written to Assemblyman Wheelau
OF this city, asking him to explain his
absence during the session when the
anti-racetrack bill was under consfd
GRAFTON. BY some of the members OF
the bureau 1t was stated that such
opposition to their work had been ex-
pected.
George B. Anderson of Los Angeles
in charge of our Sacramento headouar-
tiers, was following out the instructions
given him by the executive committee
10 secure an accurate record of each
member for future USE" said Isidor ia
cobs, chairman OF the executive com
mittee of the bureau.
These men who raised the fuss evil
IDENTIFY forgot that they are the peoples
representatives and are not their mas
tiers. Prior 10 the last election we
might have published the records OF
some of the members of the Legislature
from the city. We were importuned
TO publish this record but refrained
from doing so. Hereafter we shall take
hold vigorously and the records will
be published for the benefit of the
people OF the state. Honest men will
have nothing to fear. Others will un-
derstand that the people of California
will know them for what they are.

We have upward of 1.40o members
on our auxiliary committee and are
represented in every township and
county in California. Besides we have
more than 10000 members pledged tc

Milton U'Ren. another member of The
bureau. spoke in a similar strain.

such an attitude as we expected. Thu

The Toris compound in connection
with the other ingredients has such a

serious mistake to discontinue until
health IL fully recovered.

against such action by the California
Legislature.
sYMPATHIZES WITH CALIFORNIANS
The president sympathizes with Cali
fornians- He has. no desire whatever
to WELD the big stick over them. He
is as much a believer in preserving
American institutions as any Cali
fornian is, but he does believe way
can be found TO avoid legislation which.
In his opinion, would almost certainly
lead to retaliation on the part of Japan.
with the most serious consequences.
Suppose California should enact legis-
lation aimed at the Japanese and the
Japanese answer should be retaliation
upon Americans In Japan, including
the exclusion of missionaries and per-
haps violence. Such action would force
the United States to take the initiative
and demand redress. Such a demand
would mean necessarily that the United
States must be ready to use force.
Such possibilities as these are caus-
ing the presidents concern. He be-
lieves, also, that IL California should
enact anti-Japanese legislation, Japan
would conclude that the promises of
the United States were worthless and
would, accordingly, cease to observe
her agreement to prevent the immi-
grafton OF laborers to the United
States. This would cause a food Of
immigration, thus leading to an ex-
clusion act and reprisals that might
end in war. 1t can be stated on au-
thority that these are the real reasons
for President Roosevelt's apprehen-
sions. He could not state this in his
letter to Governor Gillett, which was
intended to be made public. But they
are the real reasons why he desires
the California legislature to go slow
for the time being

Board of Trade Active

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2O.--The ma
tional board of trade was received at
President Roosevelt. The annual ban
quet was given tonight and among the
speakers were Francis B. Loon1is.
American commissioner general to the
Tokyo exposition. Loomis said that
there was no doubt as to the sincerely
of the entertainments given by Japan
! in honor Of the battleship fleet, when
that nation expended 100000.
Not only the government" said
Loomis. but the whole people took
pains to show, In memorable and
liking for the American people was in
nowise impaired by the often grave and
embarrassing pressure of new condi-
tfons.
Loomis urged upon the national
board of trade that it join heartily
with the commercial bodies of the Pa
cific coast in an invitation to the cham
bers OF commerce OF Japan TO send a
number of their representative BUSH
nessmen to America next autumn to
visit all the large cities.
Loomis declared that he knew of no
more practical method of increasing
Americas trade with the orient than
to bring oriental buyers to these mar
kets.
1t was. he said, the duty of CONNER
cial organizations of the United States
to support the government in its
endeavors to secure just treatment for
the Japanese and just consideration
for the interests OF this country. Be
cause of the peculiar interest of the
people of the Pacific coast in the
problem, Loomis asserted that they
should have confidence in the business
of the government at Washington and
trust it to deal wisely and well with
the situation.
Loomis said he had been assured by
1.-THE Japanese minister of foreign at
| fairs that the government was doing
everything in its power to discourage
emigration to the United States.

the premier, opened the house of lords
at noon today. and in his speech dwelt
upon the cordial foreign relations ex-
listing at present between japan and
other powers, which he declared were
particularly favorable at this time.
He said that the alliance with Great
Britain had resulted in strengthening
the bonds of friendship and mutual
good will with that country. and de-
clared that a satisfactory exchange of
notes with America has removed all
misunderstanding between Japan and
| the United States. whereby peace In
the far east is absolutely insured

MARYSvILLE. Jan 2o-One of the
worst storms in the history of this
city occurred today. For several hours

90 miles an hour. and the rain fell in
torrents. No material damage was

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-While such

California adverse to the Japanese
have undoubtedly done much to re-
lieve the apprehension that exists In

so absorbed the attention of the presi-
