MEMPHIS, Tenn. Sept. s. - Early
returns from the State election in
Arkansas indicate the reelection Of
Governor jefferson Davis. the Demo-
cratic incumbent, over Harry Myers.
Republican, by the usual large Demo-
cratic majority. The Democrats easily
elected their entire State ticket and the
interest centered in the vote in large
towns, where the regular Democrats
were opposed in many instances by
independents.

in the country precincts
John H. Page, secretary Of the Demo-
cratic State Central Committee. esti-
mates that Governor Davis plurality
will be So 200. Chairman Remmel of the

CHINESE MAY
ADD EVIDENCE
Judge de Haven Decides
That Habeas Corpus Cases
Are of Original Nature
NOT BOUND. BY BUREAU
Applicant May Introduce
Testimony Regardless of
Immigrant Commissioner

United States District Judge de
Haven yesterday decided that on the
hearing Of a habeas corpus matter in
which the applicant is of the Chinese
race and claims TO be a native Amer
ican the applicant may introduce what
ever competent and material evidence
he may have 10 offer. without reference
10 the testimony previously introduced
by him before the immigrant commits
sioner. The case before the court was
that Of Guam Box Him. United States
District Attorney Woodwork objected
a. the hearing before Commissioner
Heacock 10 the introduction Of certain
evidence that had not been presented
10 the Chinese bureau at the time the
application Of Qusn TO land was being
considered. The contention was made
on the part Of the Government that
the United States Commissioner was
limited 10 the evidence taken before
the bureau.
The attorneys for the applicant con-
tended that, inasmuch as the immi-
grant commissioner is not clothed with
full judicial powers in that he has no
authority TO compel the attendance OF
witnesses or punish them for contempt
the applicant cannot obtain a full and
fair hearing before the bureau.
United States Attorney Woodwork
said yesterday:
The Attorney General Of the United States
has directed this Office to take exceptions
IN every Chinese case that comes up and PRO
poses 70. adopt vigorous methods to exurpate
the system Qf fraudulent entries OF coolies
under the habeas corpus act Ny knowledge
of these cases has led me TO the conclusion
THAT not more than one applicant in a hun
ored Of these native cases Is genuine native
OF the United States
On the other hand the attorneys for
the Chinese charge that the bureau is
autocratic and unfair in its methods
and that because Of its unreasoning
rigidity many Chinese who are legally
entitled TO land have been debarred.

John Warner of the Cliff House sta
ton life-saving crew yesterday had the
unusual distinction of being roped by
a vaquero policeman and dragged out
of the sea when he was drowning.
Michael j. Greggains of the park
police squad is the officer who spurred
bis horse into the water and threw his
RATA out over the breaker as it rolled
in on the beach and over the shoul-
ders of the sailor as he fioundered
around in the surf.
Warner was much under the in
fCence of liquor and in a reckless
mood persisted in plunging into the
surf to swim out TO where the steam
schooner Maggie lay aground. He had
been up all Sunday night in the life
boat around the wreck and had made
many Monday morning visits to the
beach saloons. Although Captain
Narney Of the lifeboat ordered him
away from the scene of the wreck,
Warner plunged into the breakers and
was soon beyond the reach OF the cap
tain's OBTAINING hand. The boat was
high and dry upon the sand, no YES
sci except the stranded Maggie was
near and the swimmer had that por-
ton of the Pacific Ocean all to him.

WIFI neat QlNe ana DODDeQ up 10 the
surface outside of the swell. He did
rot get under the next line of rolling
water with the same skill, but was
thrown back toward the shore and
caught by the undertow.
AS the man could swim. he succeeded
in pulling up TO the surface again
and prepared to tackle the third long
wave. He swan for it, but Jared no
better and was hurled over the comber
TO disappear in the white smother of
foam that marked the break of the
wave.
As Warner appeared on the surface
of the water drifting out it was seen
that he was not swimming with his
former vigoT. and Captain Varney
sprang into the surf TO his rescue. 1t
was then that Officer Greggains rode
down on the beach and. seeing the two
men struggling in the breakers, spurred
into the water, swinging his RATA over
his head. The breakers splashed around
the horse. frightening the animal, but
: Greggains' throw was true and the
rope settled over the swimmer S
shoulders. Taking turn of the life
line around the horn of his saddle. he
dragged the well-nigh exhausted
Warner over the swell toward the
beach. The lifeboats captain, who was
well out from the land. caught hold OF
the rope and both men were hauled
ashore.
officer Greggains is a native son of
the Golden West and on a California
stock ranch learned to round up and
rope cattle-his training as life saver

Brisk Westerly Wind Plays
Havoc With Shipping and
Wharyes Near Los Angeles
RESIDENTS. FRIGHTENED
Breeze Sends Yacht Ashore,
Damages Pier and Carries
Part of Board Walk to Sea
Special Dispatch to The Call.

Los ANGELES, Sept Six hundred
persons caught on breaking pier so
that for time they were seaward of
the break, a child washed from it's
mothers arms at Ocean Park, a big
passenger steamer unable to make a
landing at Port Los Angeles and col
liding with the famous long wharf, a
crack racing yacht washing ashore at
Terminal and left in such position that
she will prove a total loss. and a por-
ticn of the under -pinning of the broad
board walk carried to sea, endangering
several houses-such is one days record
of excitement at the various beach re-
sorts contiguous TO Los Angeles.
An amazingly high tide and a brisk
westerly wind formed the combination
which was responsible for these Incl
dents, and gave the beach residents a
scare such as they have never had
before Only in the instance of the
broken pier at Ocean Park was there
any danger. There were hundreds of
people at the outer end of the pier when
one of the inner bents collapsed because
of the pounding of the tremendous sea
that was running. The broken bent did
not fall all the way to the water, but
stood as if about to fall.
After the excitement the people
reached the shore, crawling over the
broken planks a few at a time.
On the strand a woman was holding
her babe while she stopped to pick up
a she'll A big wave caught her and
washed the child from her arms, but it
was quickly rescued by bather.
When the big steamer Santa Rosa
tried TO land at Port Los Angeles, such
a heavy sea was running that Captain
Alexander could not make fast. The
bow of the vessel struck the wharf. and
for a time it was feared she would
again be washed against it, but the
steamer backed off and landed at Re
dondo.
At Terminal the yacht Los Banos of
the South Coast Yacht Club dragged
her anchor. and finally the cable parted
and she drifted ashore. and tonight is
pounding to pieces on the beach.
At Brighton Beach. near Terminal, a
long section of the board walk was car
ried away. and the houses which abut
the walk came near being left without
foundations. In places the under
pinning of the houses was washed out,
causing the cottages to list.

Secretary Shaw Will Speak
at Reno, Nevada, on His
Return From Los Angeles

The position Of local manager of the
International Banking Company has
been rendered to State Bank Commits
sioner William H. High of Oakland,
and the story is current in banking and
political circles that he will resign the
State Office to accept the management
of the bank mentioned. High was ap-
pointed Bank Commissioner by Gov
ernor Pardee in June, 1908, for a full
term of four years, hence his successor
will be entitled to serve until June, 1907.
The duty Of filing the vacancy will de-
VolVe upon the Governor. There are
several applicants already in the field,
and among the most active is J. Cal
Ewing of Oakland, the secretary of the
commission. 1t is gossip in the political
camps that leading representatives of
the Republican party will earnestly re-
quest the Governor to recognize some
other county than Alameda in making
the appointment AS the board now
stands two of the Commissioners are
from Los Angeles, and the other two,
together with the secretary, hail from
Oakland. San Francisco is without a
representative on the commission, al
though four -fifths of the banking bust
ness of the State is transacted in this
city.
The managers of the Republican cam
paign are so profoundly impressed with
Secretary Shaw's ability as an advocate
of Republican principles and policies
that they have requested him to speak
in Nevada on his way home The Sec
retary has consented to address the
