Assembly bill Ia, entitled An
act 20 amend section 1862 or ne
polttical code" This bill aims 10
reproduce In the form wnica
created 30 much natural resent
msnt on the part OF japan TWO
years ago the specific discrimina
ton against Japanese In .ne
schools. IL was by securing the
abandonment OF this discrimins-
ton on the part Of the San Fran
cisco school board that the ma
stional government was enabled 10
bring about the informal agree
ment or arrangement with Japan
under which the two countries are
now harmouiously and successful
iy, preventing the coming OF Japa-
nese laborers to this country.
The essential feature OF this ar
rangement Is the adoption by
Japan Ut series OF strict ana
effective regulations determined
upon. after full discussion with
the government OF the United
States, preventing the issue OF
passports for the United States 10
Japanese laborers. At the same
time the president, In the exer.
else OF power especially conferred
upon him by congress az part OF
the arrangement. prevents the IN
direct immigration OF Japanese
wh~ do not carry passports for the
United States from the japanese
government.
Ifsthis bill we're to be passed
that ARRANGEMENT with the Japa-
nese government would neces-
sarily come TO an immediate END.
The people OF the state of Call
fornia have to consider not the
question whethere they will have
the present arrangement through
which Japanese are now being ex-
cluded. plus such legislation as
this. but whether they will substi-
tute this legislation for the exclu-
sion OF Japanese laborers.

PAPER REGARDING DEAL.

NEW YORK. Feb. United State
District Attorney Henry l.. Stimso
has given District Attorney Jerom
authority 10 proceed against the New
York World for the publication of al
alleged libelous article regarding tn
Panama canal deal. Mr. Jerome ha
asked Stimson IL action in the stat
courts on behalf OF Douglas Robinson
the presidents brother-in-law, woul
be an unwise interference with tn
actions begun under the federal juris
diction.
My Dear Sir-l have received
your letter OF Jan PC. and have
given 1t careful attention. The
series Of publications in the New
York World TO which you refer
has for some time been under my
consideration.
These publications. which |
concur with you in considering
libelous. appear TO have been cir
culated by the newspaper in ques
ton In a number OF distinct and
independent jurisdictions and 70
contain charges rejecting upon
the personal character OF number
OF men, of whom some are In public
life and some are private citizens.
In each of these Jurisdictions
under well-known principles of
law, each of these publications
would constitute separate Of
Tense and as 1t happens In this
case, each is characterized by dis
tinct and peculiar features.
Your letter makes clear the Of
Tense against the laws of New
York state, constituted by the at
tack upon the reputation of Mr..
Robinson, circulated among his
friends and neighbors In New
York county.

But while these alleged OF

SACRAMENTO Cal, Feb. l.--Gov.
Gillette has made public a letter he
received from President Roosevelt
yesterday regarding the proposed
inti-Japanese legislation. The memo
@tun. which was prepared by Sec
rotary Root, and approved by the
resident. sets for the attitude Of The
administration on the proposed legis-
'ation. II is OF far-reaching import
snce owing TO the threatening situa-
Ion as result or the crusade by
-aiifornians against the Japanese.
The presidents letter follows:
My Dear Governor: The secre-
rotary Of state has submitted to
me the following memorandum,
which mas my cordial approval:
have been able only TO make
very cursory examination OF
these bills and can only give you
nrst Impressions. It's quite pos
sible that on careful considera-
ton other ideas might present
themselves.
Senate bill II, entitled an act
To prohibit alien ownership OF
lands in the state OF California.
appears TO apply to aliens gener-
ally and In that view Is free from
specific objection. except that IL
provides that aliens shall have
such rights as TO personal prop
erty as are accorded TO citizens OF
the United States under the laws
no x.,kt sh

the United States except as the
same be affected by the provisions
OF this act or the constitution OF
the state
This inverts he order OF au-
thority. IL Is settled beyond any
doubt that Il treaty Is controlling,
as against inconsistent provisions
of either the statutes or the consti-
ton of any state. That is the
, expressed provision OF the consti.
tuition OF the United States under
which the state OF California was
admitted TO the Union. The trea-
ties between the United States and
considerable number of foreign

1T Is perfectly we'll settled that

nounced their ruling against Book
Maker GOssett and Guy Mack a day or
two ago, are coming to light. 1t is
now known that Sandy's confession
covered the pulling of two horses,
Marster and San Olmo. The latter horse
was the property of Rudolph Spreckels.
whose service Sandy was in when he
was suspended at the Seattle meeting
last summer. In his confession Sandy
made affidavit to having received $3.50
for pulling one horse and $3.50 in the
other case.
Sandy declared that he had been in
formed that his bribers represented
Book Maker Balm. one of the biggest
operators in the Emeryville ring. but
searching investigation by the stew
ards demonstrated 10 their satisfaction
that Balm had absolutely no knowledge
OF the matter and that il was an in
