LOS ANGELES. February 1O.-Careful
investigation by A. c. RidgewaW chief of

the influx of Japanese into this district
has materially diminished during the past
few months. Mr.. Ridgeway says:
The agreement between the two cOun-
tries permits the entry of students. mer-
chants and professional men. travellers.

The restriction applies only to coolies.
who come into competition with American
laborers. Without the requisite papers
they are subject to deportation.
when these aliens are found without
passports We at once notify the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor at Wash
ington A Geographic warrant authoriz-
ing deportation is sent if the circum-
stances justify.
I'VE never place Japanese in the county
Jail. They are kept under guard In
rented house and are escorted to San
Francisco at the proper time. At the
present time we know of none illegally in
this district and We have not had case
for some time"
Mr.. Ridgeway supports the position
taken by the federal authorities. From
his office records it is apparent that Japan
is faithfully carrying out her part Of the
compact and is. refusing to issue pass

OREGON DEFEATS JAP BILL.
Governor Tells Why He Opposes
LEGISLATION at Present.

SALEM, Ore, February Ex-senator
BaiIey's anti-Japanese resolution was de-
feated in the senate, when the majority
report of the resolutions committee was
accepted.
Mr. Bailey stated that for the United
States not to take a firm stand at this
time would lead the japanese to imagine
that America is afraid of that nation.
Opposing senators argued that while
exclusion was desirable, it is not advis-
able at this time to agitate the question
Gov Chamberlain. who is. also United
States senator-elect. while opposed to
Asiatic immigration, considers Japano-
phobic agitation i'll advised After the
Oregon senate had refused to consider
favorably the Bailey anti-Asiatic resolu-
ton Gov Chamberlain issued the follow
ing statement:
Il am not entirely familiar with the
character of the anti-Japanese legiSla-
ton pending before the California legisla-
ture. Personally / am opposed in prin-
ciple to Chinese, Japanese and all other
Asiatic immigration, but | am inclined to
believe that in the present emergency,
and in View of the relations between this
country and the empire of Japan, state
legislators ought to be conservative in
all legislation on the subject, trusting to
a satisfactory outcome of negotiations
now pending between the governments.
Hasty, ill-advised or retaliatory measures
at this time might seriously interfere
with these negotiations and precipitate a
conflict between two countries, which
might, by a conservative course. be en-
tirely avoided.
With reference to the public schools, |
am of the opinion that each state has
the right to arrange for such schools for
the children within its jurisdiction and
for the support of which the citizens tax
themselves, classifying and separating
pupils on such and in any way the law
making body deem best.

PRESIDENT IS CONFIDENT.
Feels Satisfied japanese Furry Is
About Over.

President Roosevelt felt so assured to-
day that there will be satisfactory out
come to the japanese agitation and pro-
posed legislation that he spoke most en-
couragingly to the few visitors with whom
he discussed the subject. One of these
was John Temple Graves, the New York
editor. The President even expressed the
belief that the danger of rupture with
Japan was practically over.
One visitor said he heard the President
state positively to another caller that If
he had not taken the action he did in in
terferinS in California there would have
been a serious breach between the United
States and Japan before this time; that he
was satisfied with what he had done in
spite of criticism. and would do the same
again if he found it necessary.
Mr.. Graves would not repeat any of the
Presidents words ON the subject but he
declared that the President had acted
wisely, promptly and properly. and had
averted grave dangers to the Pacific
coast and the country.
Il believe everything is now in fair
way for desirable and pleasant out
COME" said Mr.. Graves. THE President
has not been impulsive in his actions on
this question. as is charged He acted
none too quickly. and what he did was
with deiberation. Nobody understood
the situation better than he did
