TITUDE TOWARDS JAPS.

Sacramento, Cal, Feb. 5.-With the
defeat in the lower house yesterday of
the antiJapanese measures, followed
by the unexpected passage of third
bill segregating Japanese school chill
dren in separate schools along with
Chinese, Koreans and other Asiatics,
regarded as the most offensive meas
ure of all, President Roosevelt has
again takch hand in the anti-Japan-
ese legislation that for the last week
has drawn international attention to
California.
Hardly had the bill been passed by
the assembly before Governor Gillett
received the following message from
the president:
Washington, February 4, 1901.
N. Gillett, Governor of California:
Your kind letter just received. What
is the rumor that the California legis-
lature has passed a bill excluding the
Japanese children from the public
schools? This is the most offensive
bill of all, and in my judgment is
clearly unconstitutional and we should
at once have to test it in the courts.
Can it be stopped in the legislature
or by veto?
