NEGLIGENCE OF CONSULS
Certificates Issued to Chinese
Laborers Should Not.
Be Vised.
Senator White Fancies That the State
Department Should Rap United
States Consuls in China.

United States Senator Stephen NJ. White
of Los Angeles arrived in This city yester-
day, and will remain several days to look
after private business affairs that have
long been neglected by reason of demands
of the public service.
At the Palace Hotel last evening Mr..
White spoke of the evasons of the excIu-
sion act. His attention was called to the
large immigration of Chinese laborers
under the treaty permitting "other than
laborers" to enter the United States upon
the presentation of certificates issued by
the Chinese Government and vised by the
United States Consul at the port OF de-
parture.
The landing of Chinese laborers in San
francisco in violation of the law of excIu-
sion was thought by Senator White to be
due mainly to the inatteDtion or neglect
of Z nited States Consuls, who hould be
instructed to exercise greater care In
viseing certificates. 'If our Ccnsuls in
China perform their duties carefully they
would not approve certificates issued by
the Chinese authorities 10 emiarants OF
the la boring classes. Yes; it is the duty
of the State Department TO advise ConsCls
In this respect and give instructions that
greater care be taken IN the examination
of persons presenting certificates"
When asked ifthe United States Senators
from California should call the State De-
partmenfs attention to the neglect, Mr..
White replied that something of the kind
should be and probably would be done
without delay.
In regard to the San Pedro harbor, the
Senator remarked that The ruling of Judge
McKenna was accepted as a conclusive ad-
justment of the matter.

G0oDSPEED CONTEST ENDED.
Judge Coffey Approves Compromis,
of 100000 Lawsuit.

OF n S2OO,O0O Lawsuit.
Heirs of the Lucy C. Goodspeed estate have
adjusted all their difficulties, and the prop
erty, valued at goo, 900, will be distributed
without further litigation.
When Mrs. Goodspeed died she left FIVE wills,
all of the same general tenor. in which she be-
queathed the bulk of her estate to ner two
minor children, Florence Norime Goodspeed
and Riland Charles Goodspeed, and cutting off
with only So each her three adult children
Mrs. Annie A. Stanford. Jennie NJ. Snowgrass
ano o. c. Pratt Goodspeed.
The viii OF latest date was first offered 10 the
court, and its admission 10 probate was re-
sisted on the grounds OF undue influence and
that the testasrix was OF unsound mind.
Before the case was called for tTiai friends
of the children, feeling that the family affairs
ought to be kept out of court If possible. pre-
vailed on them to arrange a compromise
which accords 90 per cent of the estate TO the
TWO minor chiIdren, leaving the remaining
so per cent TO be distributed among the three
adult children.
In urging Judge Coffey to confirm the pro-
posed compromise, Attorney Charles J. Heg-
gerty referred to the feet that all the cIamah Is
were children of the same parents and that
up 10 short time before her death Mrs Good
speed had treated ali her offspring alike but
that after her first stroke OF paralysis there
was a change in her attitude toward her adult
children, resulting as here seen by their prac-
tical omission from The benefit OF her bounty.
He said the very date OF Mrs. Goodspeed's s
alteration could be fixed ii the contest should
ever be brought on for trial.
Judge Coney remarked that while he con-
sidered the proposed compromise q good bar
gain for the eloer children, yet he was pre-
tious litigation. He was not prepared to give
his approval offhand, however, and took the
matter under advlsement. Yesterday morn
ing his honor handed down his decision. in
whicn he approves and confirms the compro-
mise, saying that it appears to be tor the best
interests OF all parties so TO do

yesterday morning. The immediate
cause OF death vas valvuIar disease of the
heart, although Mr.. Cole had been a snf-
ferer ioE some weeks from the results OF

having made som of the forcible speeches
OF the local bar. Possessing this talent as
he did his friends many times urged him

this rule was when he accented the ap-
pointment as q delegate to the las county
conven ion 10 make speech nominating
Walter Levy for a Superior Judgeship.
Attorney Cole was long an active men,

From the Youths Companion.
He has given up his cradle and his little
worsted ball,
He has hidden all his dolls behind the
door;
He must have a rocking horse
And a hardwood top, of course
For he isn't mamma 5 baby any more!
He has cut off all his curls, they are only
fiji for girls,
And has left them in a heap upon the
floor;
For he's six years old to-day,
And he's glad to hear them say
That he isn't mammals baby any more!
He has pockets in his trousers, like his
elder brother Jim,
Though he thinks he should have had
them long before,
Has new shoes laced to the top
lis a puzzle where they stop;
And he isn't mammals baby any more!
He has heard his parents sigh, and has
greatly wondered why
They are sorry when he has such bliss
in store;
For he's now their darling boy
And will be their pride and JOY,
Though he cannot be their baby any more /!

His Final Call.

There is a certain young man in this
city, says the Minneapolis Tribune, be
longing to the Four Hundred who does
not call on a certain young lady of his set
any more, and the great hired-girl ques-
ton is at the bottom of the trouble. The
young man and three companions, in their
efforts to add to their fund of worldly
knowledge, attended one of the dances
where the domestic help are wont to con-
gregate nights, and they had a very de-
lightful time: The young man in question
paid marked attention to a petite young
lady, but pleaded a previous engagement
when the time to escort the young ladies'
home arrived The other evening in
glancing over his list of engagements, he
discovered that it was about time to re-
turn party call due a young lady, and
started out to fulfill his engagement. He
arrived at the house and rang the bell
The door was opened by the maid, who
looked at the young man for a minute
and then said:
Good gracious, you must not come to
the front door to see me; the help must re-
ceive their company at the back door"
1t was the petite young lady of the ser
wants ball. and the young man fell off the
steps in his hurry to leave, and this is the
reason why a certain young man calls no
more on certain young lady.
