Rostand, who recently has been giving the finishing touches to "The Chanticleer." arrived in Paris from Cambo. and he was ready to begin the rehearsals of the play In which M. Co quelin, who had the lending role, was ex nected to duplicate his famous success obtained In M. Rostand's "Cyrano de Ber gerac." Only yesterday M.

JOHNSON STANDS GROUND Reruns to Modify Dill for Segrega tion of Japanese Demand for Recall of. Japanese Consul for Lobbying. SACRAMENTO. Cal., Jan. 27. Despite the agitation thronghout the state over the question of the enactment of laws calculated to deprive Japanese of the right to own land, to become members of corporations, and to live wherever they please in the various communities, the members of the lower branch of the Legislature decided today almost unani mously to postpone action on both bills for one week. No determination will be reached upon action to be taken Wednesday until the letter of President Roosevelt arrives. Governor Glllett received a telegram from the President, congratulating him and the Legislature on the considera tion they had given the Government's request for delay and stating that a letter explaining the situation was on the way and might be made public if the Governor so desired. The letter should arrive Monday or Tuesday and. according to Mr. Glllett's statement tonight, will be given out for publi cation. Drew Agrees to Changes. The fact that the long expected storm did not break today developed this morning before the Assembly was called to ordrY. A. M. Drew, author of one bill, prohibiting aliens from holding land. Issued a statement that he had agreed to put the matter over until next Wednesday, when. In ac cordance with the request of the State Department, he would amend his bill so that all aliens would be denied property rights, thus allaying the ad ministration's fear that discrimination against the Japanese would result in serious complications. Grove L. Johnson, author of the alien corporation and segregation bills, re luctantly agreed to do the same with his measures and a vote was not forced. Johnson Stands Pat. Mr. Johnson and the members of the San Francisco delegation still "stand pat." however, on the passage of the bllls without amendment. The Governor and Mr. Drew held another conference late this afternoon, at which' it was agreed that the question should be dropped until the receipt of the letter from the President. In the Senate there has been even less friction with the Governor than In the lower branch. Senator J. ' B Sanford, who early in the session Introduced a bill similar to Mr. Drew's, decided today to give up the fight, advancing the theory that. If anti-Japanese measures were forced to an Itsue. the President would send a special message to Congress ask ing that the Nipponese be given the right to become citizens. I Denounces Japanese Consul. Senator Marc Anthony, of San Fran cisco, presented a Joint resolution calling upon Congress to ask the Mikado to re call the Japanese consul general on the ground that he had sought to block leg islation against his countrymen by ap pealing to the Governor. In connection with this. Mr. Glllett stated that Con gress might as well ask for the recall of the Minister at Washington when he calls on the President In regard to a dip lomatic matter. The resolution accuses the Consul of a "flagrant breach of International courtes-y, establishing a dangerous prec edent, abuse of diplomatic privileges" and asks that he "be ndnionislied that California Is neither Manchuria nor Corea nor yet a province of Japan and that said Consul shall be sent back for such action." 1 The resolution was referred to the com mittee on Federal relations. XO ACTION" FOK TWO YEARS Such Is Said to Be Roosevelt's Ad vice 'on Jap Bills. WASHINGTON. Jan. 27. President Roosevelt's second letter to Governor Gll lett. ot California, relating to the Japan ese situation, now on Its way to the Cnlef Executive of California, will not be maae public at the White House, the discretion of doing this being left with the Gov ernor. The letter is understood to advise against legislation of any kind at this time bearing on the Japanese, even If not directly discriminating against the citi zens of the Japanese. At the same time the President recognizes the existence of a sentiment favoring a non-discrimlna-torv law prohibiting aliens from holding land In the state, and it will be pretty clear from this letter and from talks that he has had with California Congressmen. Including a short conference today with Senator Flint, that he would not oppose such a law. He does not want it under stood, however, that he encourages or de sires a law of this kind, because the Jap anese may regard It as being aimed at them, although they may accept its pro visions without remonstrance. The President strongly thinks that it would be best to take no action pending the developments of the next two years as to Immigration. Senator Flint understands the Presi dent's attitude to be one of opposition to legislation of any sort, but in spite of the Inclination of the California people to fol low the leadership of the President when ever possible, the Senator Is convinced j that there will be a law of non-owner?hlp ; of lands by aliens. This will reach the j Japanese directly, although all aliens will be on practically the tame footing and japan cannot ninuii. Representative Needham. of California, visited the President today In behalf of Assemblyman Drew, the author of the bill pending in the State legislature, prohibit ing alien ownership. Mr. Drew desired to know Just what the President's wishes were. The President let It be known that he would not interfere against a non-discriminatory law If it contained a provision that would prevent it being in conflict with existing treaties with Japan or other countries. Interpretation of the effect of such a law In connection with the existing treaties Is that it would prohibit Japanese owning agricultural or other lands, ex cept those to be used for commercial pur poses, and there could be no Interference with ownership of lands for commercial use. The provision might render the law leew effective than desired In California. Mr. Needham will Inform Assemblyman Drew of the President's views. CONGRESS WOl'LD IGNORE HIM Only President Could Act on An thony's Resolution. WASHINGTON. Jan. 27. According to Senator Lodge and other members of the Senate committee on foreign relations, Congress would not take cognizance of a resolution which Sena tor Anthony . introduced in the Cali fornia Legislature tailing upon Con gress to request' the recall of the Jap anese Consul at San Francisco. It Is asserted that the only manner in which this Government could accomplish the recall of a foreign consular officer would be for the President to cancel his exequatur. Japan Not Worried. TOKIO. Jan. 7. In an editorial which the Hoclil will print tomorrow morning the Japanese people are warned against connecting the movement for naval ex pansion and Increased fortifications In America with the anti-Japanese agitation in California. It will say that the Amer ican Government Is only showing a wise care for its dependencies, Hawaii and the Philippines, ami' that only harmful sensa tionalists could connect such proper na val expansion with any feeling against Japan. The outcry against the acts of the California Legislature Is ceasing here, and there is every evidence that the as surance of friendliness from the American Government is having a material effect. BUTLER IS STILL MISSING OREGON'S ELECTORAL MESSEN GER LOST EX ROUTE. State Senator Bowerman, His Part ner, Says Storm Is Responsible. ORKGONIAN NEWS Bl'REAU. Wash ington, Jan. 27. R. R. Butler. Oregon's mess-nger bearing the state's electoral vote to Washington, had not put in his appearance when the Senate' adjourned today, nor has the Vice-President heard from him. No member of the Oregon delegation is aware of his whereabouts. Slate Senator Bowerman. who Is a partner of R. R. Butler in the law firm of Bowerman & Butler. Condon. Or., said last night that the delay of Oregon's representative in reaching Washington Is due to the Interruption of train service hy recent storms. When Interviewed at Palem over the telephone last night Mr. Bowerman said he had received no mes sages directly from Mr. Butler, but that he understood Mr. Butler left Condon for Washington Monday. "It was Mr. Butler's intention to start for Washington the middle of last week." paid Mr. Bowerman. "Storms along the O. R. .& N., however, paralyzed service on that line, and Mr. Butler did not leave Condon until Monday and will doubtless reach Washington tomorrow. As he was starting from Condon, it would have been Impossible for him to go by any other route than the O. R. & N. without making a very round-about trip which also would have involved delay." WAR REX HAS BROKEN ARM Why Mon (ana Vote Is Delayed Not . Liable to Fines. WASHINGTON. Jan. 27. Vice-President Fairbanks received today a telegram from Charles S. Warren, the Montana messenger, charged with the duty of bringing tiie electoral vote of that state to Washington, saying his failure to ar-, rive within the period allotted by law was due to the fact that he bad broken his arm. Nothing has been heard from the mes senger from Oregon. Inasmuch as copies of the electoral vote statement have been received from both the states by mail, the messengers will not be subject to the $1000 penalty for failure to re; - li Washington prior to January 25. STEPHENSON LACKS VOTE (Continued from Firs Page.) sibly going to some one who cut no fig ure whatever In l-st Summer's Sena torial primaries. The Assembly practically killed the Blaine Senate resolution for an investi gation of the charges relating to the primary election. When the Assem bly met. Assemblyman Hughes asked that the rules be suspended and that the resolution be placed on its immediate passage. Speaker Bancroft said the resolution of Mr. Blaine pivided for the appointment of three men from each house. He said this was an unheard of proposition and. If there were to be an investigation, the Assembly should be represented by five members at least. Mr. Roy objected to a suspension of the rules, thereby requiring a two-tiilrds vote. Upon roll call the suspension failed by a vote of 44 ayes to 5t noes. This practically killed the investigation. Im mediately the Assembly passed to the consideration of regular business as if nothing had occurred. YATES IS XOW IX RL'XXIXG Illinois Deadlock Coutiuues, Hop kins Vote on Decrease.
