GOVERNMENT To SUE
TO PROTECT JAPANESE
Bill Barring the Orientals from
Schools Will Be Attacked if 1t
Becomes Law.
ACCOMPLISHMENT IN THE CAPITAL
Radical Action by California Sur
prise to President-Congress-
men Uphold Legislature.

Astonishment is written over the face
Of official Washington because of the
action taken by the California Assem-
bly, in passing the japanese school-seg-
regation act. 1t was the chief topic of
conversation at one of the cabinet
meetings and is generally discussed
wherever ofIicialdom meets. 1t can be
stated on high authority that the ad-
ministration is ready to meet the emer-
gency which has so unexpectedly arisen,
and that the procedure of the admin
istration will be as follows:
decentralization Is Sought.
To obtain. if possible. a recousidera-
ton of the vote by which the Assembly
issued the segregation act.
To obtain its defeat in the California
Senate in the event the bill passes the
Assembly.
To persuade Governor Gillett Of Gal
ifornia to veto the bill in the event it
passes both houses.
However. should the segregation act
become the law of California. the attor-
ney general will be instructed at once
to bring suit i'm the Federal courts to
annul the act on the ground that it is
a violation of the treaty rights OF
Japan and therefore unconstitutional.
1t also can be said that if the pres
ent program is adhered to and the at
titude of Japan is understood, Ambas-
sador Takahira of Japan will not make
any official representations at the State
department regarding the action taken
least, the proposed bill becomes law.
Japan maintains the greatest faith in
the ability of the Federal government
to curb undue State activity against its
citizens in California and elsewhere.
and will add no fuel to the flames.
Action shock TO Washington.
The action of the California Assem-
bly, fell like blow between the eyes
on the President, the japanese ambas-
sador, and all others officially inter-
ested. 1t was presumed by all that
when the San Francisco segregation
question was settled satisfactorily two
years ago the school segregation ques-
ton was settled for all time. When
the California Senate a few days ago
refused to pass the alien land law,
which was considered the least objec-
tionable of all anti-Japanese laws pend
ing in the Legislature, official Washing
ton began to congratulate itself that
the threatened trouble had been bridged.
For this reason the latest action was
astounding.
California members in Congress, al
most to man. uphold the action of
their Legislature. They declare 1t is
truly representative Of the sentiment
in the State, and that the sooner Japan
is made acquainted with this sentiment
the better for all concerned.

FEATURES OF INTEREST
ABOUT THAT WHICH HAS BEEN
AND IS TO BE.
All Sides and Conditions of Things
are Shown. Nothing Overlooked to
make it Completes.
Bomb Wrecks Bio Tenement.

A bomb explosion, which drove
score of scarlet fever patients out into
the street, wrecked the entire front of
fifth street, New York City. Almost
every apartment in the building had
been under quarantine for some time
and when the bomb burst every person
In the place made wild rush for the
street down the wrecked stairw avs.
One man. whose little girl had died
during the night, carried the body
wrapped in a blanket to the street. The
bomb was placed in the vestibule of
the grocery of Giuseppe Pavelacci, on
the ground floor. Just before the ex-
plosion policeman saw the sputter-
ing fuse and started toward it to extin-
guish the spark. The fuse flashed up
and as the policeman backed away the
bomb exploded. While the front of the
building was blown in and windows
broken throughout the block, no one
was seriously injured. The police are
of the opinion that the explosion was a
Black Hand demonstration against Pa
velacci, the grocer, although he denies
that he ever received any Black Hand
threats. The exposure had serious
effect on many of the sick persons
driven from their homes by the explo-
sion.
Sheriff is Charged with $4,000 Graft.
The Citizens Association of Chicago,
after a thorough investigation of con-
ditions at the Cook County Jail, has
made public a report charging that
Sheriff Christopher Strassheim profit
ed Illegally at the expense of the tax
payers to the extent of about $4,000
in the year 1908 in the matter of feed
ing prisoners. The Citizens Associa-
ton report also charges the Board Of
Cook County Commissioners with lax
ity in permitting to continue the sys-
tenn of feeding the occupants of the
Jail by the sheriff. whereby the latter
pockets for his personal use a large
sum of money unexpended.

SEATTLE, July 16.-Meeting

had said good-by at their farm

OAKLAND, CAL. July IT,
Though work was so distasteful
to him that he attempted to inca
pacitate himself by thrusting his
arm under the wheel of a heavily
loaded dump cart, Robert Ford, a
city Jail prisoner, today was re-
turned to the chain gang and the
foreman was given orders to see
that the willy dodger is kept hard
at work.
Yesterday Ford stumbled while
at work and rolled close to the
wheels of a passing dump cart.
One wheel passed over his left
arm and he emitted terrifying
howls of pain. After an examine
tion at the Receiving hospital it
was announced that no bones were
broken. On the statement of 9th
er prisoners. it appeared that the
fall was Intentional.

CANDY WORKING HAVOC
AMONG THE CHILDREN,
DECLARE THE DENTISTS
tBy United Press Leased wire.)

(By United Press Leased Wire
SEATTLE, July 16.-Candy is
working appalling results among
school children, according to a
statement by DR.. F. E. O'Connell
of Seattle, before the convention
of the Washington State Dental
society, in session in this city.
There is not school house In
the city that is not surrounded
with at least half a dozen candy
Shops" said DIR. O'Connell, "and
to this fact must be attributed the
prevalence of bad teeth among the
city children.
What we need to do is to
thoroughly educated everyone In
the use of the various prophylac-
tic measures. People should be
taught the use of the toothbrush.
In teaching them the care of their
teeth we can do more good than
with the finest mechanical skill
after they are spoiled"

In this fight L. B. Dresser of
Tacoma has evidence which he
claims will prove that Russell of
North Dakota is the Boston man.
Dresser says he went to North
Dakota with the Russell boy, then
IT or. Is years of age, over twenty
years ago. Dresser knew at that
time that young Russell had run
away from home, and he under
stood that the boys father was
wealthy.
Dresser recalled the whole af-
fair several days ago when his
wife read to him an item telling
Of the dispute over the Russell
estate, and he now intends to aid
his old friend in the suit for the
fortune.
Dresser is not entirely blind, be-
ing able to make his way about
the city streets, where thousands
see him daily as he peddles his
shoestrings, pins and pencils.
