the scenes accompanying it were less

The locality wns cordoned with sol

CIRCULARS SENT TJ CAPITAL
BOTH FRIENDS AND- ENEMIES OF
MEASURE WORKING HARD FOR
THEIR CONTENTIONS
SACRAMENTO, January 26. There
is mysterious silcnco on the part of tho
nuthors of the anti-Japanese bills Intro
duced in the legislature, against which
President Roosevelt has entered his pro
test, but it is hinted by friends of the
measures that this is only "tho calm
beforo tho storm" that, is expected to
break over tho assembly on Wednesday,
for, which day Drew's bill, prohibiting
ownership of land by aliens, is made a
special order of business.
Assemblyman Grove L. Johnson, who
fathered tho bills segregating the Japa
nese in schools and residential districts,
and denying them the right to bo direc
tors of corporations, reiterated today
that he would not be silenced by the
officials at Washington, and would fight
to tho end.
Assemblyman Drew still, maintains
the attitude of waiting for assurance
that tho governor will support his bill
in some form before he pushes it.
The capital is flooded daily with cir
culars from tho Asiatic exclusion league,
and from individuals, urging tho enact
ment of the proposed law, while on the
other hand, several large commercial
bodies, including tho San Francisco Mer
chant's exchange, have sent petitions
nsking that they be smothered.
The Walker-Otis anti-race track bill
was sent to tho sennto this afternoon
and referred to the committee on pub
lic morals..
Senator Walker said ho intended to
urge the speedy adoption of the meas
urc without amendment.
It irf probable the Martinelli-Uutlnr
anti-pool room bill also will be passed
by rtio assembly in an amendment, strik
ing out the clause repealing all oilier
acts relating to the game subject.

SECOND LETTER
TO SI
SAYS ANTI-JAP- LEGISLATION
AT PRESENT TIME VERY
. - DANGEROUS.
SACRAMENTO, January 20. Gov
ernor GillcU's message on thq Japanese
question was sent to the legislature-today,
and had tho effect of crystalizirig'
sentiment for and against tho bills by
Drew and Johnson, against which Pres
ident Roosevelt had invoked nil his pow
er. '
The president informed the governor
that it would be extremely dangerous
for tho legislature to enact, any laws
that might be construed by Japan ns
discriminatory. Ho wired Gillett to
day that another letter was on the way
and this is expected to throw moro light
upon the exnet situation between Japan
and America. Grove L. Johnson, author
of tho bill segregating Japanese in resi
dential districts at tho option of munici'
palities, moved today when the measure
came .up for third reading, that it be
made a special order for tomorrow.. Thus
two of tho anti-Japanese measures will
be before tho lower house at that timo
and the fight, if any develops, will de
cide the whole issue.

LONELY HOLDUP MAN FINDS
WAY TO BEAT BLACK JACK
A lone bandit, masked and wearing -a gunny sack, held up tho Black
Jack game in the White House at the corner of Oak and Broad streets at
about 2 o'clock this morning and got away with about $200, all in silver.'
He entered tho saloon when there were but two men present, Ed Michelson,
who runs the game, and Charley Holdren, bartender- He forced them to
line up at the back end of the room with their hands in the air, while he
scooped the load of silver from the gaming table, which is near the door,
into his sack.
He made no attempt to secure the money in the cash register, and.
after looting the game, when backing out of the placo, called out with ap
parent satisfaction: "Well, I'm even with one Black Jack game,
anyway 1"
The alarm was given at once and within five minutes after the holdup
the officers were on the trail of the robber, and it is not thought that he
can 'escape. After leaving the saloon with his booty he fled down Oak
street toward the- railroad tracks, and the officers took up his trail in the
muddy street V.
The bandit wore a gunny sack which entirely concealed his face and the
upper part of his body and which was provided with a pouch in which to
store the proceeds of bis hauL Few peoplo were on the streets at the timo,
rain was falling steadily, and it was an ideal moment to turn a trick
of this kind.

DEPARTMENT REFUSES TO OIVEi
HIM UP UNDER POLITICAL
PRISONER CLAUSE.
ACCUSED OF HENIOUS MURDER
WAS MEMBER OF "SOCIALISTIC rt
PARTY HAVING POLITICAL
ADVANCE AS IDEAL.
WASHINGTON, D. C, January 26. :
Christian Rudowicz, whose extradition
on charges of murder, arson, and other
crimes is demanded by the Russian gov- -'eminent,
is not to be extradited. This "
decision was announced by Secretary of
State Roof today. In effect, the" txtra"--dition
is refused because the offense
charged comes under, the general pro
hibition against extradition in the
treaty with Russia, which declares that
if it be made to appear that extradition
is bought with a view to try or punish
for offense, a political prisoner surrender
shall not , take place. The testimony
taken in the ease by United- States
Commissioner Foote at Chicago, up-
holds tho views taken by the depart-. .
ment, though the commissioner upheld
the Russian government's demand.
Root declined to comment on the de
cision at this time, pending formal noti
fication of the Russian authorities of the
department's decision.
The case aroused .widespread interest,
particularly in Chicago, among the anti
Russian clement, where a fund was
raised in defense of the man.
Rudowicz is an acknowledged mem
ber of the socialist democratic 'labor
party, a Russian revolutionary organ
ization with branches in all parts of
the world, whose avowed purpose is
the improvement of political conditions
in the empire.
Ho is charged with having murdered
or participated in the murder of a man,
his wife and a married daughter in one
of the Baltic provinces in 1906. Tho
next year he camo to the United States,
and, went' to work' in a large manufac
turing establishment. At the hearing
in Chicago, the 'testimony offered fboth
by Rudowicz and other witnesses was
that the order for killing these persons
was issued on the ground that they
were spies not that they traveled
around the country in this capacity, but
they gave tho names of tho persons tak
ing part in revolutionary movements
directed against the government.
There was some discrepancy in 'the
evidence as to whether the order to-mur-dcr
was given by the 'county or state
"group" which directed the operations
of the various branches of the revolu
tionary party. v ,
