SACRAMENTO, Cai, Feb. Gillett 1s much pleased to-day over success in having killed the Grove John- fon bill, providing for segregation of Japanese pupils in public schools, He ; ds also gratified at President Roosevelt's Prompt approval, as shown In telegrams from the President to both the Governor ‘and to Speaker Stanton. The Assembly did not decide to put a quietus on the Jap bill until after one of the stormiest debates in the history Of the State, It was then only by a * ‘close vote, largely sccounted for by the fact that much cf the support of the | sbill was due to resentment against 11,-Gov. ts Roosevelt's interference in State af- fairs, Vote Was Close, The Assembly first voted to recon- Bider the Dill, then rejected 1. by a vote Of ito 37, The motion of its to reconsider was lost by 4 vote of 3 t 8. ‘The Assembly is now clear of any Japanese measure objected to by the| Federal Government. The struggle {ng on the presentation of a reso} by Assemblyman J, P, Transue, of Los Angeles, affirming the right of the State to govern {is schools, but withdrawing | the Japanese segregation measure be- cause of the President's objec The debate lasted until 4 o'cle afternoon, when Grove L, Johnson's last | effort, a motion further to reconsider his defeated bill was defeated, The School bill |s still to be considered in the Senate, but there is little chance that it will be approved. Johnson Unyielding to End, The anti-Japanese forces in the As- sembly were marshalled by George L. Johnson, author of the School bili, and Louls W, Juilliard, Democratic floor | leader, while the opposition was di- vected by Transue and Richard Melrose Johnson repeated his defiance of the President and called upon the Assembly to tand by its guns.” Transue finally withdrew his resolu- tion and the fight centred on a re- consideration motion presented _ by Walter Leeds, of Los Angeles, This Was finally forced to a vote and was| carried 43 to 4. The roll call on the Lill itself Immediately followed, cad it] sted in the 1 Was rejected by a vote of 41 to 87, | sate Jonson sprang to his feet with his | Motion axain to reconsider, When this Was defeated the bill was dead. ‘Lam hoj.uy pleased with the action of the Assemblymen,” declared Goy. Gillett. “The East has been deeply concerned in the measures pending | here and I feared that if the anti-| Japanese legislation were pressed at this time it would have a disastrous fect,” Goy. Gillett said that the next matter to be taken up by the Assembly would be the proposed appropriation of $10, for the compiling of a census of Jap: ese in California.

WASHINGTON, Feb, 11.—Senator Knox 1s declared by the Senate Committee on Judiclary to be eligible for appointment to the office of Secretary of State in Mr, Taft's Cabinet providing the salary of the office is reduced from $12,000 to $8,00) a year, which was the sala fice prior to the action of Congress in ralsing It during Senator Knox's present term of office The Committee on Judiciary met to- day in special session to consider the bill Introduced yesterday by Senator Hale, The measure was discussed from the point of view that It might be garded as a subterfuge and a technical | violation of the constitutional provision intended to prevent the creation of 1u- lerative positions for members of Con- | gress. Finally it was decided by the com- mittee that the main proposition of the Hale bill, which was to repeal the in- crease of salaries of Cabinet members so far as it referred to Secretary of | State, was sound. The phraseology of | the bill, however, met with critic | and tt was decided to draft a new meas- |ure and Senator Bacon was entrusted | with its preparation. The new Dill, in accordance with the} | views of the committee, uses the word | “emoluments” instead of “salary” in order to be in harmony with the lan- guage of the Constitution. It developed during th ession that the committee was not unanimous In re- | gard’to the question of whether it w be possible to repeal the sa | provision so as to make S t x Senators Kitt- redge and Overman seemed to be In some doubt as to the propriety of taking this action, but they will not make a report, and it is said the: the passage of the t py. . . | it comes up on the floor of the Senate. ee FERRY LEASE POSTPONED.
