ANTIJAPANESE SCHOOL CHILDREN BILL IN VIEW

SACRAMENTO, Cal., Thursday, Jan. 12. -- Among the anti-Japanese bills already before the Legislature is one providing against the holding of land in California "by aliens not eligible to be citizens of the United States."

It is reported also that a bill for the segregation of Japanese school pupils is to be introduced. It was a measure of this character that occasioned an international controversy in 1909. Upon the earnest solicitation of President Roosevelt the state Legislature at that time dropped the proposals.
