AMERICAN YACHT
HE WANTED THE BEST. 50 CAME TO
THIS COUNTRY FOR 1T.

why did the Kaiser order American
yacht?" has been asked by many persons since
| the coming visit Of Prince Henry and the ar
rangements for his entertainment have called
attention to that fact.
"To curry favor with the Americans. to tickle
Uncle Sam so that he will not notice German
attacks on commerce and German aggressive
ness in South America" said the knowing pessi-
mistic politicians because he is a first class
yachtsnan and wants the best he can get.
said the men Of the yachting fraternity.
The German Emperor has demonstrated on
many occasions that he believes i doing things
thoroughly" said one who knows. He has
shown this quality not only as ruler, but as
student Of theology, as a sportsman, and in the
many other things with which he occupies his
time In the course Of his Investigations he un-
doubtedIy learned Of he superiority OF the
American built schooners, and, being anxious
to secure the best he came to this market, car
ing little whether the vessel be branded made
in the United states or built in England
If the Emperor had wanted a single sticker
his order would probably have gone to England
where first class work in that line is turned out
The English shipyards have been unable to send
a yacht to this side Of the Atlantic swift enough
to capture the coveted Americas Cup, but
yachts built every year in English yards
which rank high in their classes, and possess
all the points requisite for sport. But the su-
periority Of the American schooner yachts over
all others is acknowledged even in England, and
more are built here than in any Or country"
\. cary Smith. the designer of the Kaiser's
yacht made the plans also for two schooners
which have won high favor abroad Tt ese
the Lasca and the Idula. which was formerly
tie Yampa. In speaking Of the Naiser's order
and its effect on the va m building industry Of
Ills country. Henry O. B-rbey. II Smith & Bar
hey. said.
The imperial order may boom the yacht
building business of this country to some ex-
t,nt. may receive a few additional orders
from abroad, but superiority in that par
ticular line has been well established that it
required no orders from William to show that
American schooners are the best"

THE IMMIGRATION BILL
Senate Committee Listens to
Objections Made to Several
Features of Measure.

Washington, Dec. 10.-The senate
committee on immigration today con-
tinued its hearing on the immigration
bill, the first witness being William
Hayward, representing the Hawaiian
Sugar Planters association and the
chamber of commerce of Honolulu. Mr..
Hayward's objections were directed
solely to the educational test require
ment Of the bill. This test, he said.
would keep out of Hawaii the only
labor that it can obtain, and in time
would produce financial ruin. The Ha-
waiian planters. he said, have tried
for years at great expense TO get white
labor to work in the fields, but with
out success. Japan is now the only
country from which labor can be OBJ
tanned, and the educational test would
keep out all the Japanese.
Colonel Joseph Smolipski, represent
ing the Polish American alliance, also
spoke against the educational test
Colonel SmoIinski said there are almost
100000 of Slavs in the United States.
He declared that the Poles make ex-
cellent citizens. sober, Industrious and
notably patriotic, but, owing to the re-
strictions of the Russian, German and
Austrian governments on Polish edu-
cation, many good people would be
kept out by an educational test and
their ASPIRATIONS for freedom be
stified.
A. P. Anderson, representing the
American Line Steamship company,
took exception to the amendments re-
Gently made to the bill, imposing fines
on transportation companies for bring
ing in diseased aliens and placing on
immigrants suspected of crime the
burden of proof for esta blishing their
innocence. He also objected to the pro-
posed head tax of So.

THE LATEST VICTIM of the foot

HE LATEST VICTIM of the foot
pad era is a cook. and the scene
the quiet corridor of the Atlas
block, in that remote district known as
Brokers' Row. on a street known as
Second South.
The cook is Jerry Farrell, and the
hold-up a negro whose name is I'M
known. The negro and the cook. came
in from Stockton, where they worked
together on the railroad, and were
drinking together in Commercial
street saloon between z and o'clock
last night. The negro finally suggested
that they walk over to the Atlas block.
where he said he had some friends. and
Farrell accepted the suggestion. They
entered the elevator and were hOistcd
TO the third floor. The negro then ed
the way down the dark hall. and sud-
denly clutched his victim by the throat.
He proceeded with elaboration to ran
sack his pockets and got away with
about $50, leaving the cook in a dazed
condition.
This was the story, as told by Far
rell, although the officers pretend to
disbelieve it. Farrell had/a 5-year-Old
boy with him. and the report soon
spread that the negro had tried to
carve the man and the child with a
razor.
The proprietor Of the saloon where
the men were drinking said that he
had known Farrell for a long while,
and he saw him with a roll of green
backs prior to the time he went out
with the negro. The negro has not
been seen since, and very little effort
has been made to find him, as the po
lice are not convinced that Farrell is
telling a straight story
