suit, to the effect that the plaintiff, 4fali
Althea Hill, now Mrs. Judge Tesss was

this would end the suit, and that Mrs.
Terry would come into possession of her
portion of the Sharon estate, said share
being estimated at several million dollars.
A new move is now being taken. Coun-
sci for the Sharon heirs are preparing a
petition to the present court for a hear
ing. One of the Sharon heirs said: ''The
question OF secret marriage being legal,
has been decided by the supreme court,
and Mrs. Terry has been awarded some
alimony, but she has no money, and If 1t
took the last dollar of the Sharon people
to keep her sc, she will never get any.
That's how the heirs feel"

He had seen Lucas watch loads of muck

WASHINGTON, December The Ford
Committee on the Importation of con-
tract labor, convicts and paupers held a

not to visit San Francisco for the purpose
of taking additional testimony. Repre-
sentative Morrow, of California, one of
the members of the committee,
was desirous that the committee
should 60 to the Pacific slope

but it was decided this would take too
much time. A subcommittee consisting
of Representatives Ford and Guenther,
and perhaps Colonel Oates, will, how
ever, 90 to Pittsburg and Providence,

on the general outline of the proposed
bill. 1t will make it criminal ofense
for immigrants of prescribed classes to
enter the United States, and their re-
turn in case they should succeed in
getting into the country, will be pro-
vided for by effective legislation.
The Committees bill will also require
intending immigrants to give notice to
the United States Consular officers of
their intention to come to this country,
and will require them to secure immigra-
ton certificates from our representatives
abroad as an essential prerequisite to
their landing at any port of the United
States. The present tax of 80 cents on
every immigrant will be increased.

members voted with the Democrats and
thus formed an affirmative majority on
the proposition. In view of the protest
made against the adoption of the
motion by members of the Finance Com
mittee in charge of the Tariff bill, the
vote has been held by some to be signi-
ticant of the measure before the Senate,
and some concern has been expressed by
the friends of the bill. To an Associated
Press reporter to-day, Senator Plumb,
who was one of those that voted for ad-
journment, said the vote had no such
significance and could not be so con-

Sherman, in speaking to-day of the re-

Dental electors in the several States,
transmitted by the Secretary of State to

the law OF 1887, said his objection to re.

ing. 1t was not unconstitutional it was
extra unconstitutional. He said he had op-
posed the bill all the way through on this
ground. If it was intended to be an
expression of power by the Senate to con.
troll in any way the right of Stale to
declare the vote in its jurisdiction, it was
clearly unconstitutional. If it were
merely to have the result published or
declared it was extra-constitutional, in
