OFF NEVADA President Appeals to Sena- tors From That State. —_— NIXON WIRES LEGISLATORS Asks President of Senate and Speaker of House to Hold Up the Anti-Japa- nese Resolution Already Passed by One Branch—Declares Object De- sired Will Be Injured by Any Rad: Ical Action at This Time. Washington, Feb. 4. — Presldent Roosevelt sent for Senators New- lands and Nixon of Nevada and Borah of Idaho and talked over the Japanese gituation with them. The president had said that he would not take any action relative to the work of the lower house of the Nevada legisla- ture in denouncing the Japanese, but despite the fact that the two Nevada senators would not talk it is under- stood they took away with them re- quests to get into touch at once with the members of the Nevada state sen- ate and stop further.progress of the resolution now before that body. The fact that Senator Newlands is a Dem- ocrat and Senator Nixon a Repub- lican makes it possible to influence the state serfate to the extent of hold- ing up the resolution that has gone through the house. Senator Borah’s visit was to tell the president that he did not look for any outbreak in-his state such as that in Nevada. Nixon Appeals to Legislators, After leaving the White House Sen: ator Nixon sent the followlng tele- gram to the president of the Nevada senate and the speaker of the assem. bly: “The Japanese questltm, Hks the Chinese question, is non-partisan to all Nevada's citizens. I take it that the object of the resolution now be- fore the Nevada legislature is a seri- ous one and was introduced for the purpose of securing beneficial results. Personally I bave no desire to inject my views, but after a conversation with the president I feel that it is my duty as a representative of the people of Nevada to suggest to the legisla- ture, through you gentlemen, that the very object of the resolution may be injured by radical action at this time.” The -president assured the Nevada senators that his only desire in the Japanese matter was to promote the general welfare and he urged the ne- cessity of avoiding all complications possible.
