ACT TEMPERATELY,
SAYS NEWLANDS TO
THE NEVADA SOLONS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-Senator
Nixon today received replies to the
kilograms he sent yesterday to the
president of the senate and the speaker
OF the house of the Nevada legislature
FROM the tenor of the senate reply
Nixon feels confident the resolution
passed by the Nevada house urging the
California legislature to pass anti-Jap-
anese legislation Will not be passed by
the senate. He believes it will be
smothered in committee or that all of
the matter likely to offend the Japanese
government will be stricken out. A
letter today was sent to Governor Dick
erson of Nevada by Senator NewIands
as the result of his interview yesterday
with President Roosevelt regarding
the resolution passed by the Nevada
house of representatives The letter
concludes as follows:

"MOST OFFENSIVE
BILL OF ALL" NOW
SAYS THE PRESIDENT

WASHINGTON, Feb. News of the
passage by the California assembly to-
day of the bill providing for the segre-
cation of Japanese school children was
received in official quarters here with
surprise and CONSERVATION President
Roosevelt Immediately sent to Governor
Gillett a telegram in which he de-
scribed the bill as .'the most offensive
bin of all" and clearly unconstitutional
Governor Gillett's telegraphic reply to
the president was not made public to-
night
Senator Perkins of California to-
night asserted his belief that the right
should be given to school authorities of
the state to furnish separate schools
Tor Japanese. He said:
The people OF California in their at
tempt to secure regulation of Japanese
attendance in their schools do not de-
sire to do anything that VIII disrupt
general treaty policies with Japan The
question as to whether Japanese should
be admitted to the schools and univer-
stiles of the state should be left, in my
opinion, TO the school boards and the
regents of the colleges.
In the case of the higher schools and
universities do not think-the has
peen or would be in the future any OBJ
lectlon to having Japanese students.
In the lower schools, however the OBJ
lection has been that there were often
Japanese children much older than the
American children and the former often
Kept X back the latter because they knew
little English and had to be taught
slowly: The people of California are
all right on the question.
The right to furnish separate schools
for japanese as we'll as for other Asiat-
les should be given to the individual
school authorities of the state as a po-
lice provision
senator Flint said he was surprised
to learn of the passage of the bill. He
refused to discuss the possibility of its
passage in the upper house of the leg
lslature. He said his views on the
school question were similar to tbose
expressed by Senator Perkins.
