Gillett Gil-lett repeated today that there was to be no legislation against the Japanese, Japan-ese, so far as he could see, at this session of the legislature. He has de-I de-I elded to address the members of the ' legislative body in a Bpoclal message. I nor' does he doom such action neces- sary. in view of the wide publicity of the" wishes of thefederal authority. The governor has received a letter from Secretary Root bearing upon the Japanese question, but declines to make It public on the ground that Secretary Root considers the communication communi-cation of a confidential character, as have several other letters on the same subject that the secretary has sent the governor wthln the last few days. 1 Assemblyman Grove L. Johnson's bill ' prmldlng for" the segregation of Japanese within municipalities was favorably reported today, but all such measures will be held in abeyance until next Wednesday morning for which day they are a special order It Is said upon reliable authority J that even should all the anti-Japanese measures pass the assembly the , senate will not endorse them, and as the governor has declared himself against them there seems little likelihood likeli-hood of their becoming laws. The bills now before the assembly segregate Japanese resldentially as well as educationally and prohibit their owning land or being directors of corporations. I |
