After a debate extending from 11 nVlnrk W.ilnftRrluv mornlnff until 6 T. m. the California assembly by a vote of 48 to 28 rejected the bill drawn by A. M. Drew, barring aliens from own ership of land In California. The bill had been amended at the request of President Roosevelt and Secretary Root, so that the clause applying to Japanese only was eliminated, making the bill apply to all aliens, but the measure aroused such a storm of oppo sition that long before the debate was closed by Mr. Drew it was apparent the measure would be defeated. In substance the objection to It was that it would drive at least $1,000, 000,000 of foreign capital out of the state and might Jeopardize the present friendly commercial relations with Ja pan, i .,;.... The supporters of the bill contended that the state was being overrun with thrifty Japanese who were gradually gaining an impregnable position as land owners, and whose government was trying to dictate to California re garding legislation. Assemblyman Grove L. Johnson, of Sacramento, ex-congressman and au thor of four bills sesregatlng Japanese in schools and residential districts, and preventing aliens being members of corporations, made an impassioned ap peal for the enactment of the Drew bill. At the climax of his sp'eech he walked backward from his seat to the lobby rail-and seizing In his arms a golden haired girl of 3 years held her aloft and said that he was "in favor of this as opposed to the Japanese menace to our Institutions."
