AN OFFENSIVE BILL.
ANTI-JAPANESE LEGISLATION.
A CALIFORNIAN MEASURE
OPINION OF MK ROOSEVELT.
SAN FRANCISCO. February 5.
The Californian Assembly rejected a Bill prohibiting aliens from being members of a corporation, also a Bill requiring the segregation of Japanese from whites, but agreed to a Bill excluding Japanese from the schools.
President Roosevelt telegraphed to Mr J. N. Gillett (Governor of California) :—"This is the most offensive Bill of all. It is clearly unconstitutional, and we should be compelled to test it."
