ROOSEVELT TAKES A HAND He Sends a Telegram to California's Governor Protesting Against the Action of the Legislature. Sacramento, Cal.—With the de feat in the lower house yesterday of two of the anti-Japanese measures, followed by the unexpected passage of a third bill segregating Japanese school children in separate schools along with Chinese, Koreans and other Asiatics, President Roosevelt again has taken a hand in the anti- Japanese legislation that has drawn International attention to California. Hardly had the bill been passed by the assembly before Gov. Gillett re ceived a telegram from the president protesting against the action. The governor at once sent a reply, the na ture of which he declines at this time to make public. The bill passed yesterday, which was one of three anti-Japanese meas ures introduced by Assemblyman Grove L. Johnson, places the Japan ese in the same classification with other Asiatics and inserts the word "Japanese" in the present state statute providing for the segregation in separate schools of "Oriental" chil dren. By this action the lower house of the California legislature has taken the stop which the board of education of San Francisco Intended to take two years ago, which was abandoned after the board and ex-Mayor Eugene E. Schmltz were called to Washing ton and had several conferences with President Roosevelt. At that time it was contended by the Japanese that they were not "Orientals" and they resented the ef forts to place them In the same class with the Chinese, Koreans and other Asiatic races. The question was also raised whether under the law the seg regation of Japanese school children could be enforced in the absence of specific mention of the word "Japan ese." Upon the return of the delegation from Washington the San Francisco school board contented Itself with the adoption of a rule limiting the age of pupils that would be permitted to attend the lower grades of the public schools, one of the principal objec tions to the Japanese being that adults were attending the primary grades and in daily association with white children. Unexpected was the passage of the Japanese school segregation bill. Af ter the defeat Wednesday of Drew's anti-alien land bill, which was gen erally believed to foreshadow the re jection of all of the measures aimed at the Japanese, the defeat of two more anti-Japanese bills added to the occasioned by the vote on the school segregation bill. RAN AMUCK IN THE STREETS A Memphis Negro Tries to Shoot Up the Town and Is Killed by Policemen. Memphis, Tenn. —Following a dar ing holdup on a busy thorough fare yesterday, Henry Morton, a ne gro armed with a revolver and with pockets filled with ammunition, ran amuck, firing repeatedly into street cars and houses and at pedestrians and terrorized a section of North Memphis before he was shot to death by police and citizens. After relieving another negro of a bundle of hide 3, Morton endeavored to force a trade with a produce dealer at the point of his pistol. Failing, he sent a confederate to dispose of the oooty, but both escaped before the police arrived. The negro was finally located on a street car, firing several times. As he ran he continued to fire. As pedestrians appeared the negro shot hurriedly and continued his race. Several groups of school children were fired on and, firing in to a house, the bullets of the negro narrowly missed a woman occupant. A riot call brought a squad of po lice who were joined by scores of cit izens and Morton was finally corralled on a porch. At bay the negro con tinued to fire on his pursuers, but his bullets went wild, while a volley from the pursuers put an end to the battle. Four rounds of unspent cartridges were found in the pockets of the dead negro. Congress. Washington.—The senate on the 4th considered the District of Colum bia appropriation . bill.

Many Arrests are Made In Conse quence of a Number of As saults on Women. Pittsburg, Pa.—ln spite of many threats of armed resistance upon the part of negroes if the police continue their wholesale arrests of members of their race without employment in the Herron Hill district of the city, no outbreak of any kind has occurred. Following the arrest Tuesday night of 12C negroes and the release yester day of all but 41, the police force in the district has been doubled and every patrolman has orders to arrest every suspicious negro. No further attack upon women or girls has been reported since Tuesday night, and should one occur the tem per of the citizens is such that vio lence very probably would be meted out to the assailant if caught. Men and women throughout the section in volved are carrying revolvers and the negroes are said to be well armed. Should a clash come, as is considered not at all improbable if more arrests are made, the result would be serious. Local orators are inflaming the ne groes to resistance and the feeling is high. The police, however, seem to have the situation well in hand and probably will not make further indis criminate arrests. Of the negroes arrested Tuesday night 39 were fined, most of thein go ing to the workhouse, and two were held over for further evidence, hav ing been partly identified as perpet rators of one of the attacks on girls. THEY LOST THE FIRST BATTLE Promoters of Anti-Japanese Legisla tion are Defeated in California Legislature. Sacramento, Cal. —After a debate extending from 11 o'clock yester day morning until 6 p. m.the as sembly by a vote of 48 to 28 rejected the bill drawn by A. M. Drew barring aliens from ownership of land in Cali fornia. The bill had been amended at the request of President Roosevelt and Secretary Root so that the clause applying it to the Japanese only was eliminated, making the bill apply to all aliens, but the measure aroused such a storm of opposition that long before the debate was closed by Mr. Drew it was apparent that the meas ure would be defeated. In substance the objection to it was that it would drive at least a billion dollars of for eign capital out of the state and might jeopardize the present friendly commercial relations with Japan. The supporters of the bill contend ed that the state was being over run by thrifty Japanese who were gradually gaining an Impregnable position as land owners and whose government was trying to dictate to California regarding legislation. Nathan G. Cole of San Francisco, who was elected with the indorse ment of the union labor party, op posed the Drew bill on the ground that it was in conflict with the state constitution, that it was inimical to union labor and that •it was not favored by the national administra tion, which he said was dealing with a delicate problem and should be sup ported by the people of California.

Lizzie Fulhart of Vandalia, 0., Is the Latest Victim of an Un known Assassin. Dayton, O. —Another murder mys tery has been added to the long list which already shames this city. Late yesterday afternoon the body of a young woman was dragged out of a cistern in the rear of a vacant house. Her brother has iden tified her as Lizzie Fulhart of Van dalia, O. She has always borne a spotless reputation at her home. She came to this city on January 29, to look for employment, and was stay ing with her aunt, Mrs. Samuel Dee ters.

A bur lap bag enshrouded the upper portion of the body. The steel cover of the cistern is about 18 inches in diam eter and fitted closely over the open ing. WEEKLY BUSINESS BULLETIN A Dullness of Retail Trade Is Noted— Iron and Steel Conditions are Disappointing. New York City.—R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: Dullness of retail trade is some what more pronounced than usual at this season, and distribution in whole sale lines continues considerably re stricted, although there is urgency in the demand for some varieties of cot ton and woolen goods to provide for immediate requirements and eastern manufacturers are very busy. Future orders in most lines are still placed with great caution, but confidence in the future is stronger. Conditions in iron and steel con tinue disappointing. The leading in terest still maintains established quo tations, yet price cutting is general in several lines and even with this new business is slow in developing. Some of the larger mills are operat ing at about 60 per cent of capacity, although largely on contracts. Stocks of pig iron are increasing and prices show a sagging tendency in conse quence. Structural materials continue quiet. NEWCRAFTWILLSURPASSALL Battleship Delaware Is Launched at Newport News, Va. Newport News, Va. Compared with the battleships completed or under construction, of the navy of any foreign country, the Delaware, which was launched here to-day, surpasses all. She is one of four sis ter ships authorized by congress which will form an indomitable squadron. The other vessels are the North Dakota, being built at Quincy, Mass.; the Florida, which will be built at the New York navy yard, and the Utah, to be built at. Camden, N. J. The Delaware is to carry as heavy armor and as powerful armament as any known vessel of its class; will have a speed of 21 knots, which is believed to be the highest practicable for a vessel of this type and class, and will have the highest practicable radius of action. The arrangement of her main battery guns is such as to permit a broadside fire 25 per cent greater than that of the broadside fire of any battleship now built.

Harrisburg.—The creation of a com mission to thoroughly study the prob lem of equitable taxation in Pennsyl vania, which should seek out the classes of property now exempt rather than increase the burden on those now paying, is the idea of Au ditor General Robert Kennedy Young in his annual report on the finances, which has just been laid on the desk of Gov. Stuart. Among the classes now enjoying freedom from taxation, but which he mentions as available, are trust funds in the hands of banks, trust companies and savings institu tions, personal property which is not returned because of laws which do not strictly hold the local assessor to his duty, the stock of manufacturing corporations and lastly bank deposits. He proposes readjustment of the methods of taxation whereby relief will be extended to the real estate owners.
