LEGISLATURE RACKS UP.
RescInds Action Against Japanese in
Public schools.

ASeSCAAa4S AGtkDn against SAkaAaeSe IN
Public Schools.
SACRAMENTO, Cal, Feb. IL
Yielding to the pressure brought to
bear by President Roosevelt and Gov
ernor Gillette, the California assem-
bly, retired from its former position
on the anti-Japanese matters today
by reconsidering the former vote on
the segregation OF Japanese students
in the public schools and finally re-
jecting the measure by a vote OF IL
to 81. An effort by the supporters Of
the bill to further reconsider was
lost by a tie vote and the assembly
is now clear OF any anti-Japanese
measure objected to by the national
administration.
The fight for the suppression of the
bill was won only after many hours
of heated debate on the floor. The
struggle started at 1890 O'Clock in
the morning on the presentation OF a
resolution by Assemblyman j. p.
Transue of Los Angeles, affirming
the right of the state to govern it's
schools but Withdrawing the Japan
ese segregation measure because of
the presidents objections, and lasted
until 4 O'Clock In the afternoon, when
Grove L. Johnson's motion to further
reconsider was defeated on a tie vote,
38 to 38.
The school bill is still to be consid-
cred in the senate. having been pre-
sented there by Senator A. Caminetti,
but there is little chance that the
measure will be approved when
brought up.
II am highly pleased with the ac-
ton of the assembly" said Govern
Of Gillett. The east has been deeply
concerned in the measures pending
here and feared that if the anti-Jap-
anese legislation were pressed at this
time it would have a disastrous
effect"
The anti-Japanese forces in the as
sembly were led today by Grove l..
Johnson. author of the segregation
bill. on which the fight hinged, and
Louis w. Juilliard, democratic floor
leader. while the opposition was di-
rected by Transue and Richard A.
Melrose. Transue's resolution opened
the debate and the fight was really
made on this measure. the reconsider

Postal. Savings Bank Bill Under Dis
cusSiOn.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1O.-Consid-
Grafton of the postal savings bank
bill was resumed today. Senator
Piles of Washington became involved
in controversy with Senator Hey
burn, who was criticizing various
provisions of the bill. He appealed
to the senator from Idaho to accept
amendments as a means of facilitat-
ing the passage of the measure, and
added that if it should not be enacted
this session he would go to the presi-
dent-elect and ask him to insert in
his call for special session a recon-
menation that postal savings bank
bill be passed.
Mr.. Hepburn reminded Mr.. Piles
that he was not interested in faeili-
tating the passage of the BILL
Was not the senator from Idaho a
delegate to the convention that APP
proved the savings bank bill?" asked
Mr.. Carter
Mr.. Hepburn declared that he was
not bound by any convention in the
details of legislation, but only on
general political matters"
Does the senator" inquired Mr..
Carter. admit that he was a mem
Der of that convention" ;
1T was the convention of the par
ty to which belong" Mr.. Hepburn
retored.
Since the senator believes in car
rying out the platform of his party
ask him II he can outline the kind of
postal svanigs system he would sup
port asked Mr.. Carter.
An executive session ended further
discussion.

permitting gambling games to
to be conducted in MS saloon at Dud-
ley, arrived in the city today to an
swer TO the charge The warrant
against Therault was issued out Of
the probate court yesterday after
noon. and is preferred by Prosecuting
Attorney c. H. Potts. He was sched-
uled to make his appearance in court
and plead this afternoon. but had not
done SO up to a late hour, and at that
time the case will be set for trial.
General Crusade Planned.
The arrest of Therault is the first
case to come within the general re-
form crusade planned by Prosecuting
Attorney C. H. Potts. and Sheriff A.
P. Bailey. The first step taken by
the officials was when they put a ban
on the violation OF the Sunday rest
t0H " puOAO6I dpucfs anu OAuEIH.
The next move made was to direct
all establishments that operated slot
machines TO cease operating them as
they were against the gambling law.
The owners Of these were given until
March l in which to remove or dis
pose OF them. Il was given out at
that time that all the police regula-
tiOns upon the statute books would
be strictly enforced-that the lid
would be put on and hammered down
tight. and the FIRST case to come up
under the reform crusade in the
courts is that OF Therault.
Authorities Have Evidence.
IL is understood that the author
titles have evidence in their pos
session at present OF violation OF
both the gambling and Sunday clos
ing Law and that more eases viii fol-

expected any day. not only in the

COURT KILLS
AMENDMENTS
Idaho Constitution Was Not
Changed at the Last
Election

BOISE, Idaho, Feb. 11.-Both con-
stitutional amendments understood
to have been adopted by the electors
of Idaho last November were knocked
out by the supreme court. One pro-
Vided for the abolition of probate
courts and the redistricting of the
state for judicial purposes. The 9TH
er authorized the employment of
clerical assistance by county assess
ors.
The court amendment is held in
valid for several reasons. but espec-
tally on the ground that the ques-
ton submitted to the electors in
volved more than one amendment to
the constitution, each Of which
should have been voted upon separ-
ately.
The amendment providing clerical
assistance was found to be in conflict
with the court amendment. The opin-
ion says:
Where a section of the constitu-
ton is amended at the same time by
two different amendments and the
amendments adopted are directly in
conflict and it is impossible to deter
mine which should stand as a part
of the constitution or to reconcile the
same they both must fail"
