our duty to assist him in remov-
ing the irritation arising from the
school question for the sake of
avoiding a possible conflict with
Japan. Then he told us that he
hoped to arrange a treaty for the
exclusion of Japanese laborers
from the United States and the
exclusion of American laborers
from Japan. But he insisted that
the San Francisco authorities
must first rescind their resolution
excluding Japanese children of
school age from the-. . public
schools. He laid stress upon the
fact that Japan could not be ex
pected to mollify the -feeling
against her laborers so long as we
discriminated against . Japanese
ROOT STATES CASE
"Secretary Root," added the
California Congressman, "spoke
of the urgent necessity of imme
diate'diplomatic adjustment of
all questions between this coun
try and Japan. His words, in ef
fect, were on this line.
" 'Japan has been wounded in
her tenderest spot — her national
pride. The Japanese regard
themselves as the equals of any
other people on earth. They be
lieve themselves to be superior,
intellectually,- morally and :. in
every ptife;f way, to the Chinese.
Anything: which tends to place
them oiwa level with, the Chinese
before the world . is degrading
and humiliating to them and they
will resent it_ It is most impor
tant that tact should be exercised
immediately to remove the im
pression on the part- of Japan that
the United/ States is not willing
to treat her as one of .the n)ost
favored -nations.'- \u25a0:'\u25a0.":.'":..\u25a0". '."\u25a0':"
"We are appealed to. b)' both
President Roosevelt, and Secret
tary Root ; to exercise a spirit of
conciliation for the", sake- "of.
avoiding a clash with Japan.
POSSIBLE SOLUTION
"The best method of^reaching a
solution of the school question
was sought in a general discus
sion. Finally, it was agreed that
we should senda telegram to the
Governor of California* urging
him to use his influence toward
preventing any further anti-Jap
anese expression by the Legisla
ture. It was agreed also that we
should wire to the president of
the San -Francisco Board of Edu
cation and to Superintendent
Roncovieri, summoning them to
Washington to confer with the
President and with us. We also
agreed to telegraph to influential
friends, asking them to have the
California people suspend judg
ment pending an offer to reach
an agreement with Japan on all
questions at issue. These tele
grams were sent.
"The school authorities have
announced that they would not,
under any circumstances, yield
on the school questibn. We be
lieve that when they have talked
with the. President they will see
the wisdom of making conces
sions immediately.
"Our relations with Japan are
such that it is our duty to show
a spirit of. compromise. I cannot
discuss certain other information

Caminetti Assails This
State's Congressmen
Says They Have Not Presented Cali
fornia's Case Against the Japanese
CALL HEADQUARTERS,
1007 EIGHTH STREET.
SACRAMEXTO, Jan. 31.— Caminetti of
Amador precipitated a lively debate on
the floor of the Senate today following
\u25a0the reading of the telegram received
last night by Governor Gillett from the
California delegation in r Washington
about having the Legislature defer all
action "concerning Japanese. A brief
message was transmitted by the Gov
ernor with the telegram, to the effect
that the request contained in the latter
be observed.
"In view of .the apparent importance
of this proposed confere'nee and the
great interest California has in the
same," said the Governor in his mes
sage, "I would respectfully recommend
to your honorable body that the re
quest of the California 'delegation in
Congress be granted, and ask that all
legislative action concerning Japanese
matters be deferred for the present."
Resolutions presented by Caminetti
called for the dispatch of Attorney Gen
eral Webb to Washington to look after
the interests of California in the nego
tiations now pending between the
United States and Japan relative to a
new treaty. Coming from a Democrat;
these resolutions met with instant dis
approval. Senator Wolfe of San Fran
cisco moved that x they be referred to
the committee on judiciary, asserting
that they, were inspired by petty poli
tics and should not have the earnest
consideration of the Senate.
WEBB MIGHT BE UNWELCOME
"This is a time when both parties
should be one in any action respecting
Japanese that relates to the welfare
of California," said Wolfe. "The Japa
nese question should not be a vehicle of
politics. President Roosevelt has not
invited the Attorney General to Wash
ington, and it would be presumption on
the part of this Senate' to sanction his
going there. The interests of the State
in Washington will be looked after by
the California delegation, and if. the
Attorney General is wanted he will be
asked for." . ' ; :
Caminetti replied to Wolfe with vig
or, declaring that the Senator-from San
Francisco was too ready to Impute mo-
us that the situation; \yas ex
tremely disquieting."
Another member of the Cali
fornia delegation said today :
"The President convinced me
that he had information ~ which
was of! the gravest consequence.
I fear that Japan will iifipose such
conditionk'as.to make the negotia
tion of a treaty very difficult. Ja
pan, for one' thing, indicates that
she • will demand a, -provision
granting to Japanese in . this
country all the rights and privi
leges granted to the citizens of the
most favored nation. This means
that she will expect Japanese chil
dren to be admitted into the' pub-
Tic'schbols. It may be impossible
for the United States to giveaway
such guarantee. ..\l\,,, L' ,
. "California, at any rate, claims
the right to control her own pub
lic schools without regard to
treaties. If Japan insist upon
this point it may be impossible
to negotiate a treaty excluding
Japanese laborers. In case the ne
gotiations for a treaty i fall
through'the anti-Japanese agita
tion on the coast would con
tinue, and, I. now believe, would
result in war. This is the Presi
dent's belief.
MAY BLOCK TREATY
"The question arises whether
Japan is not disposed. to prevent
the success of any treaty negoti
ations »for reasons' of her own. I
cannot discuss this matter with
out-violating" the pledge of se
crecy given to the President. All
I can say is that we ought to do
everything we can to show that
we do not want war and that we
do not provoke it." \u0084 -^\
Another member of. the Califor
nia -delegation, who, like ''all the
others, exacted the -promise that
his^narrie .should not : be divulged,
said : that he was dumfounded
when the President laid t before
the delegation the true state of
affairs. . \u25a0 . .x/ ....-•
"The ' President- spoke with
much greater freedom than Secre
tary Root," he said/, "It is . best
not to make public what was .told
us as-to the attitude of Japan. In
my opinion a settlement of pend
ing questions by treaty, removing
all causes 'of friction, J is a long
way off, and it is not our 'fault.
But it will 'be- our fault if we do
not. do our share to restore good
feeling." .^fjgfejj
The remarks of the \u25a0President,
as quoted heretofore, were read
to this Californian. He said it
was a breach of confidence t<y give
out this conversation and that he
could not 'comment upon it. , "V".
HAVES OPTIMISTIC
Several members of the dele
gation' declined to enter into de
tails.regarding the conference in
the White House. -They (adhered

CURTIX SUPPORTS CAMINETTI .
Curtim of Sonora argued in favor. of
sending the attorney; general to Wash
ington; but the members of the Re
publican majority supported Wolfe in
opposing it.
Anthony of San Francisco went off
on a tangent and told how well fitted
Congressmen- Kahn, Hayes' and' Me-
Kinlay were 'to deal with the Japanese
question In Washington and how ; much
attention they had devoted to it. ' :
Belshaw of Contra' Costa finally sec^
onded the motion to have the resolu

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.>— Represen-'
tative Hayes today made the' following
additronal statement concerning the
conference Held at the White -I House
yesterday between the President and
members of his Cabinet with the Cali
fornia delegation: l — '
"The California delegation is pleased
with the situation with reference ,to
Japan as developed at the conference.
We feel very hopeful that the .result of
this conference and of others that will
follow will be a solution of the Jap-,
anese difficulty that "will, be perfectly
satisfactory to the people of Cali
fornia."' -.'.'-:'
Speaking, for himself, Hayes said:
. ,"I have no fear }of^ny diplomatic
crisis with Japan or of any serious
trouble of any. kind with that nation:"
It is said at the iWar Department
that no .; report has been received at
any source indicatinglthat : the r Jap
anese : in: Hawaii have 'organized "secret
military organizations and are drilling
with the view to acquirng control of
the, island. - \u25a0 . ' '
- Regarding : the appeal of the War
Department to Congress for an appro

Hawaii, it; is idenled that this: appeal'
has any connection whatever, with : the
relations between Japan- and the United

A Reasonable Plea V *
For the i 'Stomach-
If Toar Stomach b lacklnsr In Dl^es-
tlTe Poner, Whj >'ot Help the
Stomach Do Its Work— Especially
When It Costs Nothing to Try I
Not with drugs, but with a reinforce- .
ment of digestive agents, such as are
naturally at work In the stomach?
Scientific analysis shows that digestion
requires pepsin, nitrogenous ferments.-,
and the secretion of hydrochloric acid.
When your food falls to digest. It la
proof positive that some of these agents
are lacking In your digestive apparatus.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain
nothing but these natural elements
necessary to digestion, and when placed .
at work In the weak stomach and small
intestines, supply what these organs,
need. They stimulate the gastric glands .
and gradually bring the digestive or-
gans back to their normal condition.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet* have been
subjected to critical chemical tests at
home and abroad and are found to con-
tain' nothing but natural digestives.
