Speaker Stanton Believes
Drewßill Dangerous and Veto
Would Probably Follow
Assemblyman Receives Letters
.Asking Him to Press Meas
ure, but He Hesitates
he describes as impossible legislation.
"These bills fhould be made a mat
ter of party policy. The state of Cali
fornia can not afford and will not per
mit itself to enact impossible legisla
tion, Injurious to our people and our
interests and likely to embarrass the
nation, if no more." :V-': V-'
Summary Action Expected
Senator Frank W. Leavitt, who was
originally opposed to a caucus agree
ment on the subject and who is also in
favor of a school segregation act, said
today:
"The subject has become one for
caucus consideration. We will caucus.
and that means goodby for any anti-
Japanese legislation."
Speaker Stanton said tonight:
-< I think the state of California is big
enough to deal with these questions
without any outside interference and
to deal with them in a manner which
will show the nation once for all that
California is not peopled with cranks
and incendiaries.
"Legislation forbidding the acquisi
tion of "property by aliens and prohibit
ing alien directors in corporations is
not anti-Japanese legislation. lam not
Interested in fondling the Japanese, but
Fuch legislation as this has no place in
our scheme of government.
"I can not speak for the assembly,
but I believe that the assembly will put
Itself and the state right in the eyes of
the nation without any coercion from
the outside, and I am prepared to ex
pect summary action at once."
Sanford Seems Affronted
Senator J. B. Sanford of Ukiah,
chairman . of the democratic senate
caucus, is affronted. For that matter
so are many of the republicans, "but
not for the reasons assigned by San
ford.- The republicans resent the idea
that they could not be trusted to pro
tect the "state and. the nation from em
barrassment
Sanford and the democrats generally
Insist that the rights of a sovereign
etate have been infringed. Sanford
said ton 1 ght : 'J - ; .v .:',
"Let the big stick swing. We can
run our own business "without the
assistance, or direction of the mikado.
I consider this interference the height
of impudence. We are quite capable to
pass our own laws; for our own peo
ple. We had this same thing two years
ago. /" T^i
"We were told then that the federal
government was going to do something
or was about to enter inta some diplo r
matic arrangements with Japan, which
action on our part would hinder or
prevent. "We consented to lie down,
and so far as I know nothing has been
done."
Preston Seeks Some Light
Assemblyman Preston of Uklah 'is
one of the democrats who Is not pre
pared to stand for the Johnson bill as
it is,* but he would like to get action
on a measure which would prohibit
Asiatics from acting as directors in
California corporations, without driv
ing European aliens and the altogether
desirable capital out of the state. On
the question of the acquisition of real
property by Asiatics Preston Is equally
decided, but in the same quandary
how to accomplish the desired result
\u25a0without driving European aliens out of
the state.
He announced tonight that he would
Introduce a joint resolution tomorrow
calling upon the president to advise
the legislature what has been done In
the way of agreement with Japan, if
the furnishing of such adx*ice would
nor^e inimicable to national arrange
ments contemplated or agreed upon.
Anthony for Exclusion
Senator Marc Anthony of San Fran
cisco is not dismayed by executive In
tervention. He is out to smite the lit
tle brown brother on the solar plexus
and with a flourish. He has two meas
ures designed to bring out an expres
elon of public sentiment which shall be
conclusive, so far as California is con
cerned.
The first provides f£r the submission
at the next general election ;of the
question, "Shall Asiatics be excluded?"
The question is to be submitted by &
jrovernor's proclamation and given a
place on the official ballot. The verdict
registered at the polls Is to go to con
gress In the form of a memorial.
His second scheme provides for a
great mass convention to be held July
4, 1910. which convention shall give
expression to public sentiment on the
question pf total Asiatic exclusion. '
Governor Ready With Velo'
SACRAMENTO. Jan. 19.— Governor
GHlfctt will nol c«:nd a message to the
legislature requesting that anti-Japa
nese; Mils now, peiultn? in ; committees
ho killed' unless, after the receipt, of
J'sesMttn P.6oif*Y<Jt s X> t -.er tn Thurs
day f (promised 'by wire ' Saturday)," he
deems such action necessary. r •
While the governor Ucc'mes to ex
press r.n opinion o:i the merits 'of the
Drew bill prohibiting all aliens hoJd-
Ing land !t is eaid on ffood authority
Jiiat ,he will veto the measure if It
comes to him for signature.
Speaker Pianton also believes that
the Drew bill is dangerous. He said
this morning:
2 "When we undertake to change the
la*s regarding such vital matters* we
tread upon dangerous ground." ' '
.'President Roosevelt's message to the
governor was not unexpected, but Gil-
. let did not answer it until yesterday.
He -consulted with Lieutenant Governor
.Porter and leaders in both branches
before telegraphing the president that
the. bills would be held up until further
Information oould reach here from the
national capital.
Assemblyman- A. N. Drew of Fresno,
»aiathor of the anti-Japanese bill, said
this morning:
"I am receiving scores of letters from
all over the 6tate asking: that -I do all
in .my power to pass the bill, but I
want the opinions oL. the people as to
the various provisions of the measure.
I would like to have it dissected and
discussed ln;every detail so that the
legislature may understand the wishes
of thejPUbllcHfcoToughly.
! . "J. bejieye.tbat Jf:it came up for pas
sage this morning 'In either branch It
would receii'e a unanimous. vote. I am
not going to be unreasonable in this
matter, but I believe the people want
Japanese and Chinese excluded from
property rightj:ii^|JIITOIiMMWBBfIBP
"It is up to the governor now. I
would not care to pass the blll'over, his
veto and unless he willTconsent to sign
it I shall' not press the* matter.. Let
the people express; their -will to , the
gavf rnor and the legislature."
Grove L. Johnson, author" of three
anti-Japane»e 'billß--thatiwHlib6;bltter
y ly opposed by/ the federal government,
"declares he will pay no attention to the
president's request for delay.
Governor Opposed to Any
Anti-Japanese Legislation
SACRASIEXTO, Jan. 10.- — Accord Ins to a statement made to
nigrnt by Governor Gillett there will be no le^Ulation a^alnat
the Japanese at this session of the lcßlslature, The governor
authorised the following statement: ; .."
\ After conversing with the leading members of both branches of the
legislature tonight I am convinced that no legislation against
the' Japanese will- be enacted. I am' satisfied that "the* people of Cali
fornia ' and particularly the members of our legislature appreciate the
efforts being made by the federal government and the representatives
of Japan to stop immigration to this country of Japanese laborers,
skilled and" unskilled. , ." ' , « .-
.There; can be no doubt that the Japanese government is acting
absolutely in good faith in its endeavor to prevent' its people from
immigrating, to our country, and in my judgment it would be a serious
mistake while they are so doing to enact any laws directed against the
Japanese people. ' • - '^
This question is one in which the federal government is particu
larly interested 'and its wishes should be carefully considered, 'and .will
be, I am sure, by the people of this state.

Bunker Makes Charges
' Frank F. Bunker,, superintendent of
schools. In 'his report made the follow
ing, comment on the^ conduct conditions
that have grown up in the student body
of the public schcfol. \.
"Facts have been presented to me
which show that during the past two
years, at least, there has been a grow
ing tendency among students toward
the breaking down of the -simple -fun
damentals, of honesty and right con
duct."
Bunker said that bicycle tires had
been maliciously punctured; the pupils
had cut their classes and in many cases
the laboratory notes and .carefully
written papers of the diligent pupils
had been stolen by those unwilling to
perform their class duties. Lying: to
teachers to secure privileges that would
be denied if the truth were known, and
the forgery of parents' names, were de
clared by the superintendent to be
prevalent evils.
Springs Sensation .
Bunker sprang a sensation on the di
rectors by declaring that It was being
whispered among the teachers and pu
pils that class treasurers had embez
zled moneys collected for class enter
tainments and expenses; that high
school boys were seen intoxicated in
Berkeley and in San Francisco, , and
that pupils in the Berkeley high school
were knewn to gamble at the race
track. He said it was common report
in the school yard that In poolrooms
and billiard halls, where minors v are
supposed to be prohibited to loiter, no
questions were asked, and high school
boys left their classrooms to walk
around the billiard tables. It was for
this sport that the four youths . sent
from the school tonight purloined .their
schoolmates' books and valuables.
Chief of. Police Vollmer submitted a
detailed report by Detective Jamison,
In which the confessions of McKinlay
and his comrades were noted. These
admissions were that gangs exist for
thievery In the high school, and that
there were other gangs than that which
the congressman's son headed, operat
ing among the pupils; that quantities
of books were taken. by wholesale and
sold and- the money spent; and that
false keys were common In the'schooL
In. his confession, Gerald McKinlay
admitted, taking about a dozen school
books. Herbert Merritt admitted that
he stole -several grammars And man
uals, and Stone confessed to a similar
loot- On all three -of the chief offenders
the police found skeleton keys.
Volmer Scores McKinlay
Vollmer in his report declares:
"I believe that McKinlay is the most
serious' offender of the three boys ex
pelled and that he should be severely
dealt with. He admitted he hadfskele
ton keys to open all the lockers and
that portion of the building known as
the. A room; 'and McKinlay also- con
fessed to thefts at the Y. M. C. .aY
"I have " an appointment with
these boys for tomorrow and I shall
i continue my investigation, keep-
Ing the school board advised from
time to time." . .
When haled beiore the school
board tonight the, three lads ; who
were expelled— -McKinlay, Stone
and Merritt— repeated their .; con
fessions. Merritt spoke freely of/ 1
• the theft of books and the ; sale of
them. He said he knew McKinlay
and Stone had . b*en working to- v.
gether in the theftg of (books for
more than oao term, : and admitted
that he never endeavored to find
the owners of :.-l any \u25a0 book taken
either by them or 5 by- himself.
More Gangs* at Work ~
Stone, when questioned, vigorously
affirmed to the directors that 'other
gangs of -thieves are at work In ithe
school constantly. ; The' number- of
thefts reported .in^ two years, at v-the
6chbol Is 240.- So far-, only' a few; of
