Telegram from James Norris Gillett to Theodore Roosevelt

Governor Gillett telegrams President Roosevelt that the bill in the California Legislature treats all aliens alike in regards to real property. He does not see how it would be objectionable to Japan or any other nation. In a handwritten response below the telegram, President Roosevelt informs Gillett that Secretary of State Elihu Root will send word concerning the real property rights of aliens. Roosevelt himself will write concerning the other bills.

Letter from Luke E. Wright to Ceferino Joven

Acting Governor of the Philippines Wright urges Governor Joven to exercise his authority as provincial governor and investigate the complaint that has been filed against the Municipal Council of San Luis. The council is alleged to have refused to allow the assessment of buildings and land belonging to the Catholic Church, and to have ejected the parish priest from possession of those properties. If the municipal council has acted illegally, and if the parties refuse to restore the properties to the church, Joven must enforce the law.
