EXCLUSION LEAGUE
DESIRES SESSION
OF LEGISLATURE

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Dec. know
ing the large number of resolutions
that are being passed by civic. Conl-
mercial, labor and fraternal organiza-
tieas of California, declaring them
selves in favor of special session of
the legislature to deal with the Japa-
nese situation, the California Oriental
Exclusion League appeals to these or
ganizations to send such resolutions to
Governor Stephens So far as showing
the sentiment of the state with regard
to an extra session. such resolutions
are valueless unless Governor Stephens
receives copy of every one passed.
Many organizations passed resou-
tons before the extra session was held
to ratify the woman's suffrage amend
ment If those organizations are still
of the same mind they should again
adopt those resolutions and send the
same to the governor.
IF we are to get a special session
of the legislature to consider this all
important question, now is the time to
act" said Guy p. Johnson, secretary of
the league. Sentiment in California on
the Japanese problem is rapidly crystal,
izing, and if the people will only make
known their sentiment to the governor
by resolution there is little doubt but
that he will call the desired special ses-
sion.''
Announcement has been made by the
State Board of Health that machinery
10 being installed that will sesregate
birth certificates in such way as to
enable the board to issue monthly re-
port on the number and place of all
Japanese births; in California.
According to Guy p. Jones, assistant
to the secretary of the board. the de
mand for data on Japanese births in
the state has become SO great of late
that the board was practically forced,
to provide for the issuance of these
monthly reports. Jones said that mem
bers of the legislature in particular
have been seeking information relative
to Japanese births.

FIREMAN WONT
. ENOANGER CITY
FOR RANCH FIRES

A fire broke out yesterday afternoon
on the Campbells' Hog, ranch; about
east of the city limits, burning Il small
barn and small stack of hay
The alarm was sent to the fire depart
ment, stating that the fire was beyond
the race track, and the men answered
the summons. Upon arriving at the
track they found the exact location Of
the fire to be way beyond the city limits.
The sfiFe was out of their territory
and they were not Obliged to go, and
for their work they received no com
pensation. The city will not pay when
an alarm is answered beyond the in
corporated township, and the farmers
refuse to help in the upkeep of the Local
department, so in the future no alarm
will be answered beyond the district
covered by the city proper, state the
officials at the fire station. 1t is not
for the want of compensation that the
fires will not be answered, for what lit
tie the men receive does not pay for the
cleaning of their clothes, but while the
men are out in the country, working
gratis, the buildings in the city are left
unprotected.

IMPORT PEANUTS
(Bv Associated Press)

MARSHALL, Texas, Dec. Pea
nuts are being imported from China
by Marshall oil mill, owing to the
Iaadequacy of the Texas crop to sup
ply the demand for peanut oils. Sew
eral consignments already have been
received from Shanghai, the nuts hav-
ing been grown in Shantung.
The foreign peanut is not better
than the native product, according to
local men, but they come already
shalled and therefore are more easily
and less expensively handled. The
Chinese nuts are about the size of the
ordinary Spanish variety.
