ANTI-JAPANESE BILLS.
Measuros Before California Legisla
ture Attract Attention.
Sacramento, Cal,, Jan. 15. Tho
three anti-Japancso bills introduced in
tho assembly by Grovo L. Johnson, of
Sacramento, and tho ono by A. M.
Drew, of Fresno, prohibiting aliens
from holding land in the state, have
attracted such wide interest that the
1,000 copies of each ordered printed
are already exhausted and thcro is a
demand for more.
Tho Johnson bills aro designed to
prevent Japanese being membors of
corporations ; to segregate all Japan
cse by defining the limits within which
they must live. Tho two first named
wero introduced last session- by Mr,
JohnBon, and action upon them was
suspended at tho telegraphic request of
President Roosevelt during the diplo
matic negotiations between the United
States and Japan over tho action of
tho San Francisco school board in ex
cluding Japaneso youths from public
schools and assigning them to tho in
stitutions set asido for "Mongolians.'
The Japanese claimed they wero not
Mongolians, and Assemblyman John
son introduced an amendment specify'
ing "Japanese" in tho law. It was
this measure to whoso enactment tho
president objected, and it was killed.
lho bill relating to directors of cor
porations prohibits aliens from being
members of such boards, and its pur
pose is to prevent competition of pow
erful Japaneso concerns with Ameri
cans. . The third Johnson bill is new. It
gives municiapalities power to pre
scribe the limits within which "unde
sirable, improper and unhealthy per
sons, or persons whose practices aro
dangerous to the public morals and
health of a community," shall live.
ONE JUROR PASSED.
Difficulty of Securing Talesmen to Try
United Railroads Official
San Francisco, Jan. 15. Patrick
Calhoun, traction magnate on trial for
alleged giving of a bribe, adopted his
expected defense today, when Attorney
Stanley Moore, by his questioning of
August Hansen, attempted to show
that the indictment was the result of
plot hatched by Rudolph Spreckels to
make out a case against the head
the United Railroads. Other frag'
mentary evidence of Calhoun's scheme
of defense has been brought out in the
examination of prospective jurors,
touching on the late car strike, tho
granting of immunity, and the juror ;
general sentiment in the matter of
unionism.
The third day of Calhoun's trial saw
the first juror in the case temporarily
passed. He is Joseph Dixon, a sales
man for Marcus Hart, a haberdasher.
He sits subject to peremptory chal
lenge. Dixon was passed by the do
fense last night, and after a brief eX'
amination this morning was accepteud
by the prosecution. During the exam
ination the clerk said he could try th
case thoroughly and squarely.
The juror said he knew Abe Ruef,
but did not care to comment on his
conviction, that he favored Calhoun
stand in the last car strike, and that
he was at one time a union man, but
withdrew because of the hours he had
to work.
Before the prosecution finished the
examination of Dixon the juror made
complaint to Judge Lawlor that an
agent had approacted his wife yester
day afternoon and questioned her in re
gard to her husband's feeling in the
graft cases, Mtb. Dixon said the man
claimed to be a real estate agent.

Work Is Total Failure, Gooding Tells
Sheepmen's Convention.
Pocatello, Idaho, Jan. 15.- One thou
sand sneepmen attended the opening
session of the National Woolgrowers
convention in this city yesterday and
listened to a bitter arraignment of the
Federal forestry bureau by President
F. W. Gooding, of Shoshone. Declar
ing that the government in its admin
istration of the national forests and
the reclamation service has failed woe
fully, President Hooding urged that
congress be aBked to name a commit
tee of Western men to intesvtigate and
report any needed changes in the rules
and regulations governing these two
bureaus.
From nearly every Western state
delegates are present. The biggest
single delegation arrived from Boise,
Idaho. It included Governor Brady
and a number of state officials, also
about half the members of both houses
of the state legislature.
ine iorenoon session oi the conven
tion was devoted entirely to the1 mid
winter sheep show. More than 600
sheep are entered.
Predicts Tree Famine.
Washington, Jan. 15. "The time is
coming in this country when trees will
be as scarce as diamonds, unless im
mediate steps are taken to preserve our
forests." ThiB was the dark picture
painted in an address by Secretary of
Agriculture Wilson at the 29th annual
meeting of the American Forestry as
sociatfon. The secretary declared our
forestry growth id getting scarcer and
scarcer and we are using three times
as much wood as we are growing.
Japan Takes Slight Notice.
Tokio, Jan. 15. Though certain of
the Japaneso newspapers are seriously
exercised over tho anti-Japanese bills
before tho California legislature,
others style the matter as a tempest
in a teapot. There is no tendency to
find sinister design in the increaso in
the American navy, newspapers gene
rally expressing tho opinion that
America's growing interests in the Pa
cific demand a stronger navy.

Changes in School Lnw,
Salem Superintendent Ackcrmnn's
bill to requiro six months' Bchool in
every district in tho stuto is meeting
much favorable comment. It is
thought tho measure will be satisfnc-
tory to all, as it is ono that will in

the remoter parts of tho stntc, and
those who live in thoso diatricts ore to
bo moat benefited by it. It requires
that there must be six months school
in overy district, and if the district is
not able to moot the expense the school
board may call upon the county Bchool
fund, or a special tax may be levied
on the county to moot the expenses in
the district requiring help to the ex
