Managers Bring Home Pres
sure to Bear on Members
of Legislature.
EXPECT TO WIN TUESDAY
Investigation Resolution Expected
to Drag Along for Several Days.
Stephenson Spends $107,
000 to Get Nomination.
MADISON. Wis.. Jan. 31. (Special.)
The managers of Senator Stephenson's
candidacy for re-election have been busy
during the Sunday recess of the Legis
lature In bringing- borne pressure to bear
on members of the Legislature to in
duce them to support "Unkle Ike," when
the next Joint ballot is taken by the
two houses at noon next Tuesday. This
home influence has been so potent that
it will cause half a dozen members to
change their vote in favor of Stephenson
on the next ballot, his managers declare.
The managers have notified all Stephen
son members to be sure to be present
on Tuesday, as they expect to end the
fight then.
The Assembly amended the Blaine Sen
atorial investigation resolution so as
lo confine it to 8tephenson and
the other persons mentioned in the
charges. Increasing the Assembly mem
bership on the committee from three
to five, and limiting the time for the
committee to report to March 1. This
amendment will come up in the Senate
Tuesday, and will probably be noncon
cured In. as the I'pper House Is antl
Stephenson. Then a conference com
mittee will be asked for and the ques
tion of Investigation may drag along for
some days longer.
Stephenson's managers say that he Is
preparing to file his primary election
expense account within a few days, and
It will show that It cost him 1107,000 to
secure a renomlnatlon.
HEIRS PRESENT CLAIMS
(Continued from Firwt Page.)
panv, however, transferred its Interest
In its grant to T. Egenton Hogg, former
ly of LYirvallls. now deceased, and some
of Hogg's heirs, residing In Alabama,
are behind the pending bill.
During the years that have elapsed
since the grant was made, settlers have
established their residences upon a part
of the lands covered by the grant, many
ot Them receiving; patents from the Gov
ernment. In some Instances these claims
have been contested by the grantee and
It Is held that settlers now residing there
on are liable to ejection at the instance
of the Hogg heirs, the Interior Depart
ment having ruled In contests hereto
fore heard that the grant constitutes a
valid prior lien upon the land, and that
the settlers can acquire no valid title
thereto.
Whatever may be the facts with re
gard to this contention of the heirs of
Mr. Hogg, the allegation Is made that
because of the fact that much of the
land has been settled upon, they are un
able, within the limits of the grant, to
complete the acreage to which they claim
to be entitled, and are yet entitled to
receive 9126 acres of the grant satisfied.
The bill introduced by Mr. Burnett au
thorises the Hogg heirs to relinquish all
title to the above acreage. Included with
in the limits of the grant, and much of
It now under settlement. In order that
the settlers may not be dispossessed, but
In return for this courtesy, the con
testants ask the right to mak lieu selec
tion, within the State of Oregon, of an
equal area of surveyed, non-mineral,
nonreserved. vacant public land.
In brief, they express a willingness to
waive all claim to that part of their
grant now held by settlers under patent
from the Government, if they are given
the right to go elsewhere in the State of
Oregon and pick out a little over 900
acres of land that may be attractive to
them.
Haw ley Calls for Facts.
The Burnett bill will be called to the
attention of Representative Hawley be
fore it is taken up for consideration by
the committee on public lands, and be
fore Mr. Hawley takes action, he de
sires full information as to the facts.
He Is now endeavoring to ascertain
whether the road company, or Its assigns,
have, as alleged, completely exhausted
their right of selection within the limits
of their grant: he is also looking Into the
question of whether patent issued to a
settler, prior to the passage of the act of
1S74. can be upset by the terms of the
grant, or whether the rights of such set
tlers are prior and paramount to the
rights of the company. He also wants to
know whether. If -the company did not
construct the road until the land was so
occupied by settlers that less than its
claim was left within Its grant. It has
not lost its right to the full amount, no
provision having been Incorporated in the
granting act allowing them lands In lieu
of lands so occupied. Moreover. Mr.
Hawley would like to hear from the in
terested settlers, and others residing In
the neighborhood of the grant, as to
their view of the situation.
If the Burnett bill Is in fact what It
appears to be on Its face, and merely
proposes a proper exchange of lands. It
Is possible that It may be put through
this session, but it Is doubtful If all the
farts In the case can be gathered to
gether In time to get action in the few
remaining weeks of the session. How
ever, the subject Is now ripe for dis
cussion and Investigation, and the foun
dation may be laid for early action in
the next regular session. If, on the
other hand, the subject shows up well
under inspection, and no objection to the
legislation Is developed In any quarter,
it may be possible to get It through be
fore March 4.
VARSITY TRIES TO DODGE
(Continued from Flrat Page.)
Vnlverslty grounds. I could not say that
they were students, but I supposed that
they were. I was quite excited, and I
went immediately to Mrs. Kedfield, where
I work, and told her what had happened.
She telephoned to Marshal Vollmer."
President Wheeler of the university
said he had no official notice of the at
tack on Keneko and had but Just learned
of It. .Ie telephoned Mrs. Redfleld and
asked her about it. and she told him what
Keneko had told her.
"As soon as I heard of the alleged at
tack." said President Wheeler, "I tele
phoned Mr. McKlbben. the president of
the Associated Students, and asked him
If he bad heard of it. He had not. and
for that reason I very much doubt that
any students had a hand in It. It hap
pened Friday evening, and if the students
had been Involved, Mr. McKlbben would
have heard of It by this time, as he is
closely In touch with the student body
and such affairs are reported to him.
T wm make a thorough Investigation of
the affair. If witnesses can be found who
will state that students attacked Mr.
Keneko without provocation, the men will
be punished. I consider the matter un
fortunate, particularly at this time, when
the bill before the Legislature has ap
parently piqued the Japanese and the
whole- Japanese affair Is In the air again,
with President Roosevelt urging Governor
Glllett to hold off the anti-alien bill. It
will give the East a bad impression for
Keneko is not a laborer. He would not
come under an exclusion bill, even If one
were passed. Happening In the university
grounds it will create an Impression
abroad that all classes In California are
rabidly opposed to Japanese of ail classes.
The Japanese, have been attending the
university for years, and have always
been treated well."
T. Wana, president of the Berkeley
Japanese Association, says the matter
will be fuHy investigated and the per
petrators of the deed punished.
VIce-'Consul Takahashl Is Inclined to
think that the matter is a mere bit of
hoodlumlsm on the part of young boys not
belenging to the university, and that It
can be settled in the police courts.

A. M. Drew a anti-alien land bill, as
amended by him ca conform to the wishes
of President Roosevelt, will be favorably
reported by the Assembly Judiciary com
mittee and action may be taken on it
Tuesday. This bill Is almost an exact
duplicate of the Oklahoma law. It does
not specify that aliens must become citi
zens of the United, States In order to
retain land or to purchase land. It was
because of the fact that Mongolians are
the only aliens barred from citixenshlp
that the President objected to Mr. Drew's
first bill as being discriminatory against
Japanese and Chinese, It permitting all
other aliens to hold land by the pro
cess of taking out citizenship papers.
The bills Introduced by Grove L. John
son early In the session to prohibit aliens
from being members of boards of direc
tors and segregating Japanese in the
public schools and segregating all un
desirable aliens In residential, districts
will be taken up as a special order of
business on Wednesday.

Roosevelt Advises California
on Measures Proposed ,
in Legislature.
EXISTING CONDITIONS GOOD
Says School Bill Introduced Would
Stir Up Bad Feeling Agrees
With Memoranda Submitted by
Root on Aliens' Privileges.
SACRAMENTO. Jan. 31. Governor
Gillett made public tonight the text of a
letter received today from President
Roosevelt with regard to anti-Japanese
legislation now pending in the California
Legislature. .
President Roosevelt begins by quong
a letter from the Secretary of State to
Governor Gillett, in which Mr. Root said
that he saw no objection to the passage
of a law which treated all aliens alike
in acquiring and transferring real prop
erty, but "To avoid conflict with the Con
stitution of the United States, such stat
ute should contain an expressed provision
excepting from Its operation any rights
secured by treaty between the United
States and foreign nations."
President Roosevelt then gives the text
of a memorandum from Secretary of
State Root, which, he says, has his cor
dial approval. Concerning Senate bill 71,
entitled, "An Act to Prohibit Allen Own
ership of Lands in the State of Cali
fornia," Mr. Root Says:
Treaty Rights to Prevail.
"This appears to apply to aliens
generally and In that view Is fr? from
special objection, except this: the act
provides that aliens shall have rights
as to personal property as accorded
to citizens of the United States and
the laws of the nation to which such
alien belongs, or by treaties with trie
United States except the same be af
fected by the provisions of this act,
or the constitution of the state. This
Inverts the order of authority. It Is
settled beyond any possibility of doubt
or question by repeated decisions of
the Supereme Court of the United
States that a treaty made in pursuance
of the constitution is controlling as
against inconsistent provisions of
either the statutes or the constitution
of any state. That is the expressed
provision of the Constitution of the
United States, under which the state
of California was admitted to the
Union.
Reciprocal Provision Possible.
"The treaties between the United States
and a considerable number of foreign na
tions have reciprocal provisions for re
ciprocal rights of citizens as to holding
real and personal property. It Is per
fectly well settled that the making of
such reciprocal provisions Is within the
treaty making power, and Instead of
aliens having in the state of California
such rights as are accorded to them by
these treaties except as they may be af
fected by the provisions of the act or of
the Constitution of California, the pre
cise reverse Is necessarily true. The
proper statement would be that their
rights are prescribed and limited In the
act except as they are conferred and de
clared by the treaty. This general state
ment Is true of all aliens, the citizens
or subjects of nations which have such
treaties as I have described with the
United States.
"In the particular case of Japan the
second y.rticle of the treaty of No
vember 22, 1894. provides that the citi
zens of each In the other country
may trade In any part of the territories
of the other, by wholesale, or retail,
in all kinds of produce, manufactures
and merchandise of lawful commerce,
either in person or by agents, singly
or In partnership with .foreigners or
native citizens or subjects: and they
may there own or hire and occupy
houses, manufactories, warehouses,
shops and premises which may be
necessary for them and lease land for
residential and commercial purposes,
conforming themselves to the laws, po
lice and customs regulations of the
country like native citizens or sub
jects. Agricultural Lands , Excluded.
"In my opinion this provision does not
confer rights to either own or hire agri
cultural lands, but Is limited to owning
and hiring lands and the structures
thereon for residential and commercial
purposes, Including within commercial
purposes both manufacture and trade.
To the extent that these rights go, that
Is to say, as to residential commercial
purposes. It Is not competent fer the
Legislature of California to change in
any way the provisions of the treaty
or to Impose any limitations Inconsistent
therewith. To the extent of owning or,
hiring land for agricultural purposes,
so far as Japan Is concerned. It Is
clearly competent for the state oi Cali
fornia to enact Jts own laws and ltls
gratifying to observe that It Is the pur
pose of this bill to make those laws gen
eral as to aliens.
"Assembly bill 78, entitled 'An Act to
Regulate. Ownership or Possession of
Lands by Aliens.' The observations which
I have made regarding Assembly bill 71
apply In substance to this act. As bear
ing upon both acts, I transmit herewith
a copy of telegraphic correspondence had
between the Governor of California and
myself conjisttng of a telegram from the
Governor dated Saturday last, and my
reply of thje morning. In my reply you
will perceive that J suggest the insertion
of a clause In any legislation regarding
the holding of lands by aliens, which will
save their treaty rights and that I also re
fer to some of the decisions of the Su
preme Court on the subject.
One Bill Not Good.
"Assembly bill 14, entitled "An Act to
Amend Section 1662 of the Political Code.'
This bill alms to reproduce in the form
which created so much natural resent
ment on the part of Japan two years
ago, the specific discrimination against
Japanese In the schools. It was by se
curing the abandonment of this discrim
ination on the part of the San Francisco
school board that the National Govern
ment was enabled to bring about the In
formal agreement or arrangement with
Japan under which the two countries are
now harmoniously and successfully pre
venting the coming of Japanese laborers
to this country.
"The essential feature of this ar
rangement Is the adoption by Japan of
a series of strict and effective: regula
tions determined upon after full con
sultation and discussion with the Gov
ernment of the United States, prevent
ing the issue of passports for the
United States to Japanese laborers. At
the same time the President, In the
exercise of power especially conferred
upon him by Congress as part ef the
arrangement, prevents the Indirect Im
migration of Japanese, who do not
carry passports for the United States
from the Japanese government. If this

Present Arrangement Best.
"I have no doubt that what the
people of California would sacrifice" by
the enactment of this act would, con
sidering their own interests alone, be
of far greater value and importance
than the legislation Itself. The exclu
sion of Asiatic laborers through the
co-operation of their own goverament
has, in the case of China, proved to be
far more successful and satisfactory
than would the exclusion without the
aid of the Government by the simple
enforcement of a statute on this side
of the Pacific The same would Inev
itably be the case with Japan. No
exclusion act passed by Congress
would be ao efficient as the present
arrangement, and it would be accom
panied inevitably by Ill-feeling and re
sentment, the consequence of which
would be of the most serious charac
ter. I may observe that the experience
of the San Francisco School Board
shows that there is no occasion what
ever for any such legislation, for that
regulation which they adopted as a
substitute for the discriminating reg
ulation, as I am informed by them,
proved entirely satisfactory and effect
ive to accomplish all that they wished
to accomplish by the discriminatory
regulations. J
"Viewing In large aspect the relations
of California to the rest of the Union,
It- Is difficult to find words strong
enough to characterize" the violation of
patriotic duty which would be involved
in a causeless and objectless enactment
constituUng a serious affront to a
friendly nation and certain to plunge the
entire union into the doubtful conditions
of enmity to a great and hitherto most
friendly power, which Is our neighbor
upon the Pacific."
Decries School Measure.
President Roosevelt's letter continues:
'To this memorandum, I have but little
to add.- The United States Government
has no objection to the enactment of a
law In California as regards the rights of
aliens to hold real estate, provided that
the suggestions of the Secretary of State
are complied with as contained in the
above memoranda. Such a law would not
be in any substantial respect different
from similar laws that have been passed
In other states. Many foreign countries,
including Japan itself, have similar laws.

MARKET IS HOT AFRAID
STOCK BROKERS DO NOT FEAR
RETROGRESSION.
Resumption of Activities After Fi
nancial Depression Ixked
For Very Soon.
NEW YORK. Jan. 31. The irregular
movement of prices of stocks in last
week's market with the dominant ten
dency downward, gave a fair index of
the speculative sentiment with the un
dertone leaning to the side of the de
pression. The principal contesting fac
tors at work were found In the redun
dant money supplies on the one side and
the reports of backward trade condi
tions, of which the plethoric, money at
the reserve centers was in itself a re
sult. Of the trade outlook it Is to be
eaid that the stock market view Is not
so much In fear of a retrogression as It
Is of disappointment in the rate of pro
gression. Very large transactions In existing Is
sues at the stock exchange are going
on also day after day. A large specu
lative eiement is perceptible in this
activity. This ready supply of new cap
ital in response to corporation require
ments gives excellent promise of re
sumption of outlay suspended during the
financial depression.
Reports of railroad net earnings for
December reveal the source of much of
this disappointment In the radical cuts
In expenses which are being made by
them to the striking improvement of
their net return of profits, but to the
deprivation of the industries supplying
materials. The disposition to postpone
outlay is increased by the approaching
revision of the tariff. In the copper trade
the large rate of production outdoes the
present consumptive demands, with ac
cumulation of stocks and a yielding ten
dency of prlcps.

Hospital Nurse-Matron
Gives Valuable Recipe for
Constipation, Liver Trou
ble and Piles.
A trained nurse and matron of
one of New York's large hospi
tals gives valuable advice for
the treatment of constipation
and tho prevention of contagious
and infectious diseases. She says:
"Intestinal Indigestion, dyspep
sia, wind and gas on stomach
and bowels, biliousness, heart
burn, heart palpitation, piles and
painful evacuations are directly
due to it. while all the fevers and
contagions are more likely to at
tuck the constipated individual.
Children are robbed of health
and brain - power by these poi
sons. Mothers, never permit any
member of your family to be
constipated 24 hours, and you
will have little sickness and few
doctor bills. Use the following
prescription: Get 'one ounce
aromatic fluid cascara,' 'one
ounce compound essence cardlol,'
and 'two ounces aromatic syrup
rhubarb." Mix, and adults take
to 2 teanpoonfuls after each
meal, and give children five
drops to a teaHpoonful, accord
ing to age. I think every intelli
gent family should keep this la
the home."
