ON TO A FINISH

Censure to President Roosevelt
Expected in Senate
Resolution.

Gov. Gillett Fails to Block Bill
and Party Whip May Be
Used on Legislators.
SCHOOL MEASURE UP.

SACRAMENTO. Cal. Feb. io.-The
fight In the California Legislature over
the anti-Japanese bills was resumed
to-day with the argument on the
question Of the reconsideration of the
measure providing separate schools for
Japanese children. Gov. Gilett has
announced that all OF his efforts to
have the bill withdrawn have proven
abortive.
At conference yesterday Repre-
sentative johnson was asked to with
draw the measure, but the Governor
denies that any compromise in the
way Of promise Of support for milder
anti-Japanese measures was given to
induce the Assemblyman from Sacra-
mento to consent to the sacrifice of his
pet bill.
1t is hardly likely that a motion to re-
consider will prevail to-day unless
Speaker Walter Stanton executes some
unexpected coup. He may do this by
bringing the party lash into play, for
since the Democratic caucus many OF
the Republicans have maintained that
the minority has seized upon the
Japanese question to play for political
advantage.
Expect Censure to Roosevelt.
Johnson's bill to restrict unhealthy,
undesirable and immoral persons to GER
tain prescribed limits In municipalities
will come UP to-day and action on the
measure is expected.
In the Senate the only anti-Japanese
matter In sight Is set OF resolutions
prepared by Marc Anthony on the sub
ject. 1t Is said that. the resolutions will
score President Roosevelt for his rebuke
of Senator Perkins.
TOXIC, Feb 1o-James Hamilton
Lewis, OF Chicago, who was one of the
Democratic Members Of Congress FROM
the State Of Washington In ls9I-l99, Is
At present In Toxic and has presented
letters from the State Department to
Ambassador O'Brien and the Foreign
Office. Questioned regarding the politi.
cal situation on the Pacific coast, Mr..
Lewis gave out an interview In which
he said that the Democratic party In
America was thoroughly In accord with
President Roosevelt in his efforts to
maintain the treaty understanding with
Japan.
He declared that America was unan-
imous In desiring peace and harmony
in the Orient, and that all legislation
passed by any State in conflict with
treaty obligations and the Constitution
would be annulled by the courts.
The Japanese newspapers continue to
be filled with dispatches emanating from
San Francisco, New York and London,
indicating serious increase of anti
japanese sentiment In the Pacific coast
States. which is said to be rapidly
spreading to interior States. The
Asahis San Francisco correspondent
has cabled to the paper alleged state
ments and utterances Of Senators and
others which are OF sensational
character.
The dispatches state that al Pacific
States are developing grave opposition
to the Japanese residents and urging
legislative measures which would de-
rrive such residents OF all rights which
enable them to reside and transact bus-
hess in these States. These dispatches
are being widely read throughout Japan
and are creating deep impression.

second district yesterday afternoon, be
added to the committee as reported by
Bowman. Clark, who had moved the adj
journment and thus helped the speaker
last night, made a talk in favor of the eau
Gus sitting committee. This acted as a
damper to the scrappers, but Holmes came
to the front and told that the second dis
trict members had been selected at a meet
ing at which there we're ten votes cast
and only eight members present, and that
on the next ballot, with eight members
present, there were nine ballots cast.
They voted a proxy at that meeting
yelled Holmes, 'and there was not a ma
jority present either. Is that a square
deal? Is that the way you want TO re-
form?"
Shoettger of Washington, who succeeded
Chairman Stoecker, deposed, as chairman
of the delegation. said there was a major
ly of the eleven member present when
the selections were made.
IT move that the house select the mem
bers Of the sitting committee from Doug
las county, said Stoecker.
The motion was promptly voted down,
for the house is at least too wise to get
mixed up in the politics of the members
elected as representative democrats of
Douglas county. Then Clark's motion and
the W motion were carried and the
sitting committee goes to work tomorrow.
Another Shot for Kelley.
The house very generously allowed itself
to be whipped this morning by Mr.. Kelley
of Furnas county. who has been a thorn in
the side of many members on several occa-
! sions. F1fty-one members of the house
voted to reconsider their action in indef-
initely postponing II. r. $50, which Mr..
Kelley introduced and which carries an
appropriation of 800 900 for a normal school
In western Nebraska. Mr.. Bushee moved
the reconsideration and Kelley got the Toll
call. But as 1t is apparent that Mr.. Arthur
Mullen has the normal school sewed up
out at O'Neill. 1t Is not expected the Kelley
bill will land a normal school in the neigh
borhood of Cambridge.
Saves n L~ittIe--spends a Lot.
with n~eatncss and dispatch the house in
the committee of the whole this morning
cut out of the deficiency claims bill an
item for $500 for the State Board of Educa-
ton, which had been spent for printing le-
quired by law and for other purposes, IN
GLIDING $5 for travelling expenses of mem
bers of the board. With just as much dis
patch, IL not quite so much nestness, 1t in
serted in the bill an item for $4,000 to pay
the claims for wolf scalps. So far as the
debate showed there was no doubt Of the
normal board claim being a legitimate ex-
penditure, end the bills as itemized had
been presented to the committee on def
cheney and had been endorsed by the mem
beers of the committee. The wolf bounty
item was presented as an amendment by
Taylor of Hitchcock, who made a hard
fight for it. The normal board bills are
owed mostly 20 Lincoln merchants, Who
could be At any time by lie
committee 20 answer questions regarding
the claim.
To prevent any further claims on the
wolf bounty score, the house amended an
other bill pending to repeal the law which
provides for the payment OF a wolf bounty.
