Calls on the Legislature to Al

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Feb. 5.-Gov-

message bearing on Japanese legisla-

day.
Gentlemen: Believing that there
should be a further and more careful
consideration of Assembly bill No. IA,
which provides that board of school
trustees shall have the power to es-
tablish separate schools for children of
Japanese. ana thereafter that they shall
not be admitted into any public school;
further believing that the enactment of
the provisions Of the said bill will, at
tHis time, affect the interests of the
entire nation, and perhaps seriously, 1
most respectfully request You to re-
consider the vote by which the said
bill was passed and take the matter up

United States, alarmed at the possible
Consequences of the enactment of such

ing the following language:
This is the most offensive bill of all
and in my judgment is clearly uncon-
stitutional and we shall at once have

"A telegram so forclble as this com
ing from the President of the United
States is entitled to fun consideration
and demands that no hasty or i'll
considered action be taken by this
State which may involve the whole
country.
1T seems to me it is time to lay
sentiment and personal opinion and
other considerations aside and take
a broad and unpre1udiced view of the
important questions involved III the
proposed legislation, and in a calm and
dispassionate manner pass upon them;
keeping in mind not only the interests
of our State, but of the nation, and
the duty we W to it in observing the
treaties entered into by it with a
friendly power"

PEARSONS WINNERS
OVER HIGH SCHOOL
Academy Nine Takes First lntersehol
astic Game by Narrow Margin
Contest Rather Slow and
Uninteresting.

Although the first interschOlastie
game to be played in the city this
season, the contest between Pearsons
academy and the high school boys yes
terday was slow in the extreme and
ended with the score looking like 10
to 9 in favor of the former. No bril-
liant playing marked the exhibition
and it was anybody's game until the
last inning was finished, but taken
into consideration that the men are
raw and need more practice, the con-
test was as good as any one ex-
pected.
Tom Steel pitching for the "high"
lads tossed good ball, with the excep-
ton of two innings when he went wild,
but some of his curves were difficult
to connect with. 1t was in the fourth
and seventh innings that the Pearsons
bunch made their big gains. for during
this time, six runs were chased across
the plate to their credit.
The work of Blackman at first was
good and Johnson in center made one
of the most sensational catches Of the
game when he came in from deep field
and caught high fly back of second
base, retiring the side.
For the Props Garfield was touched
up for several safeties, but had he re-
ceived good support, kept them well
enough scattered to prevent runs.
Captain Moriarty at third accepted
five chances without a miss and lined
out two timely hits. Wage at short
gave a fine exhibition of base running
This was the first Of series of
games between the two schools and
with more practice they should put up
a good article of ball.
