JAPANESE BILLS

California Assembly Rejects the
Drew Measure.

Sacramento. Cal. Feb. 4.-The Drew
bill was Defeated in the assembly by
% to 4s votes, and with its defeat all
hope OF passing any Of the anti-Jspan.
ese measures practically has been
abandoned by their sponsors.
One OF the remarkable features Of
the defeat OF the Drew bill was the
fact that IL was accomplished in the
presence OF 1000 persons. who wildly
appIauded every anti.JGpanese sentl.
ment uttered by the advocates OF the
measure.
Most OF the opposition to the Drew
bill. according 10 the speeches OF les
opponents, was based either on
grounds extraneous TO the Japanese
question or on the argument that it's
passage would retard, rather than
hasten, the exclusion OF the Japanese
from this country.
