early experience on the force. When
he first got beat it seemed that he
had been called upon for assistance by
brother officer who was pursuing an
escaping lawbreaker and had in an
effort to halt him fired several shots
in the air.
81 also fired at the man." said the
old policeman, "but as he got away
made no report Of the affair. Next day
the lieutenant asked why I had not
mentioned the affair, and l replied that
| had only fired into the air and
thought nothing more of it. Fired in
the air?' commented the lieutenant

ANTI-JAPANESE
 FEELING EXISTS

Sacramento. February 2-While the leet- ter of President Roosevelt to the governor regarding the Japanese question made deep impression upon the legislature, the leading two anti-Japanese members of the assembly today declared that would push their measures to a vote as soon as pos sible.
 Assemblyman A. NJ. Drew of Fresno. the famous raisin producing section, where there are many Japanese, who had amended his anti-alien bill as required by the national administration, so that the clause discriminating against the Japanese was eliminated, took exception to the letter enclosed by the President, written by Secretary of State Root, in which 1t was said that the federal govern ment was opposed to all legislation direct ed against aliens, Japanese or others.
 MT. Drew declared it was to the inter- est of California to protect her soil from an invasion of aliens. from the far shores of the Pacihc.' who would always remain citizens of that country and whom Americans did not welcome. He said it would be incongruous for such aliens to own lands in this country when they had no intention of becoming citi- zens, and he believed his bill remedied a condition that had long been menacing the state
 The Judiciary committee rendered today a report favoring the passage of the Drew measure without change, and it was made a special order of business for Wednes- day, to take precedence over the John son bill denying Japanese the right to be members of corporations and segre- gating them, not only in the schools, as attempted by the San Francisco board of education two years ago, but also in res idential districts at the option of boards of supervisors.

WaterWorks Corporation Held
Meeting With Special
Committee.
ASK THIRTY DAYS TIME
COMMERCIAL CLUB INFORMED
THAT THE COMPANY WILL
THEN SUBMIT TERMS OF FRAN
cHlSE TO BOARD OF WORKS.

The officials of the Waterworks COM
pany met yesterday afternoon with the
Commercial club to consider the plan
submitted by the Commercial club for
better fire protection for the city. A
duplicate main and duplicate pump is
desired. The company agreed to COM
ply with the request, but desire thirty
days time in which to prepare their
plans for a new franchise. Their pro-
position will then be submitted to the
city for it's approval and negotiations
will be made for a new franchise be-
tween the Waterworks company and
the city.
The question Of better fire protec-
tion has been agitated for some time.
Should the present main break there
would be absolutely no means to get
water. An extra force pump is also
needed as the water pressure in several
instances has been very weak. The
members Of the board Of works say
they realize the need of better fire pro.
lection and state that they are per-
fectly willing to draw up new fran
chise for the Waterworks company
and submit it to council for its ap.

MONEY FAILS TO
REACH TREASURER
County Official Cannot as Yet
Cash the Semi-annuaI
Warrants
STATE MAKES THE DELAY
CAUSED ~ MAKING IT NEcES-
sARY TO HAVE MONEY ORDER
SENT cAsHED At AN INDIANAP-
OILS BANK.

The county treasurer remains with
out money to cash the warrants issu-
ed yesterday by the auditor for the
distribution of all funds.
The warrant arrived from the state
yesterday, but it was not bankable 10
cally. 1t had to be Endorsed by the
county treasurer and returned to In
to be cashed by the state
treasurer. The county has checked out
more money than it has at its
but the depositaries are
making up the deficit.
State Has Plan.
The feeling prevails among county
officials that the state is working a
plan whereby it will be enriched con-
siderably by Withholding the settle,
ments. If the same condition prevails
in all other counties the state will
draw interest on the money. Wayne
county's apportionment is about 5000,
900 so what an enormous sum is to be
divided among the ninetytwo counties
of the state can be estimated. The
interest would be no small item even
for two or three days.
