ACCUSED SENATOR
STRIKES DETECTIVE
BY A.soeiated Press


SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. S.-State
Senator Frank French. who stands ac-
cused with three of his colleagues OF
bribery, has made an assault on De-
tective George N. Tichenor, employed
by the prosecution.
French accosted Tichenor on the up
per floor Of the capitol rotunda and
without word rushed at the detective
and sent him reeling with a blow over
the right eye. Bystanders interfered
at this juncture and prevented further
trouble.
Local interest IN the bribery scandal
is directed principally to the assault
on the detective. who played a leading
role in laying the trap to apprehend
the accused statesmen.
While the quartet of senators charged
with bribe taking are known to bear
the btterest feeling against their
prosecutors, French's assault on Tiche-
nor is the first personal clash that has
occurred between the opposing sides.
Members of the Legislature are now
the incident that occurred in the cor
ridor of the capitol last night.
When seen in regard to his encounter
with Detective Tichenor Senator
French said:
II passed Tichenor in the corridor
last night as 1 was leaving the capitol.
l slapped him across the nose to eX-
press my contempt for the fellow. He
did not strike back, nor did he say
anything, but turned and walked
away"
French has told friends that he will
slap Tichenor every time he meets him.
Whether he will treat Detective Hart
ling. who is large in stature, in the same
way remains to be seen. When the
charges of bribery were first made
French is reported to have said: Il
will shoot that man Corbin on sight"
French is tall, strapping man and
is about twice the size of Tichenor.
On account of his senatorial position,
French is safe from arrest for his ac-
tion in assauting Tfchenor.
The opinion prevails in legislative cir
cles that the investigation of the bri-
berry charges will cost the state at
least $4,000 before the case is conclud-
ed in the senate
In company with Sheriff Reese and
County Detective O'Neil, District At
torney Seymour this afternoon opened
the safe in the state house hotel on X
street in the expectation of recovering
the greenbacks alleged to have been
passed to Senator Emmors by Joseph
Jordon. The marked money was not
in the safe.
Seymour was led to get out his search
warrant as the result of information to
the effect that the bills were concealed
in the hotel. Detective O'Neil says he
has another clew on which he is work
ing. He has information that may lead
him to the hiding place of some of the
alleged bribe money. He says if his
clew develops he will have big sensa-
ton to spring.
Should any of the bills be located,
District Attorney Seymour will issue
warrants for the arrest of the accused
senators.
The investigating committee has sub
poenaed Joseph S. Jordan, the newspa-
per man who it is alleged handed the
bills to the four senators. to appear
on Monday evening and tell his story
Of the affair Jordan has been here
ever since he was released on bail

Storm Center at Lodz

Serious disorders broke out today at
Lodz, where $4,000 men are striking.
Some of the employees of a lace factory
attempted to return to work. and the
remainder forcibly prevented them. A
strong military patrol was summoned
and fired at the strikers, who replied
with revolver shots. Firing was re-
ported at o'clock this afternoon.
Strikes were started this morning in
the coal districts of Dombrowa and
Sosnovice. 1t is feared that they will
have a serious effect on the Industrial
situation generally Warsaw, Lodz and
other important centers being entirely
dependent for their coal supply on
these districts.
According to the best information
available, the official list of persons
killed during the disturbances here
contains over 300 names, in addition to
many unidentified bodies lying at the
receiving vault in the cemetery. The
unidentified dead will be buried to-
night.
A group of soldiers outside liquor
store last night fired on passers-by
without warming, killing a shopkeeper
and wounding another man.

By Associated Fress.

WARRINGTON, Feb. 3.-The care of
lepers in the United States and Ha-
wall was considered today by the
house committee on interstate and
foreign commerce. Two bills, one pro-
viding for the establishment of a san
itarium in this country to which may
be sent all lepers in the United States.
and another appropriating $150,OO0 to
be used in Hawaii for the scientific
study of the disease, were before the
committee. Delegate Kalanianaole eX-
planned briefly the condition of lepers
in the Hawaiian islands. He said
there were over a thousand persons
suffering with the disease there. Great
care was exercised to isolate them in
the leper colony on the island of
Molokai, and the territorial government
spent 100000 in their care in the last
six years. The diminution of the rev.
enues of the islands, owing to their
absorption by the United States, he
said, amounted to $1,250,0 900 annually,
and for this reason the federal gov
ernment was asked for an appropria-
ton, not to care for the lepers, but
to prosecute a scientific study of the
disease with the view of finding some
remedy therefor.
Surgeon General Wyman of the pub
lie health and marine service explained
the need of a leprosarium in this coun-
try. He said there were known to be
275 persons afflicted with the disease
in the United States, and he esti-
mated there were 100 others. They are
scattered through the states and ter
ritories. He suggested to the commit
tee a site in the arid region of the

and he insisted that the representatives

CHINA AMAZING
SAYS Mr., THWING
WORK BEING DONE
TO EDUCATE YOUTH OF CHINA
ALONG WESTERN LINES.

Rev. L. w. Thwing returned Tues
day by the Doric from China and Japan
whittier he went February u. His
primary object in going was to secure
additional Christian teachers for the
work among the Chinese on the plan
tations throughout the islands, and in
connection with the work of the Chi
nese church on Fort Street, and Mills
Institute. He secured five qualified
Chinese teachers, one of them a wo-
man. One of these workers has a
family and in all twelve persons will
come to the islands.
Before these Chinese could leave
China, passports had to be secured,
and charge of 500 is made by the Chi
nese government for each passport. Mr..
Thwing sought 10 secure a remission
on this charge and he succeeded after
very interesting and agreeable ex-
perience. He wrote a letter to Tsen
the Viceroy of the two Kwong pro-
vinces, requesting an interview, setting
out briefly the mission that brough,
him to China. The Viceroy courteous
ly replied appointing 10 o'clock the next
morning for an interview. At thai
time the Viceroy was waiting to receive
Mr. Thwing and his party, and during
the interview tea and cakes were serv-
ed. Mr.. Thwing explained the work
ings of the schools here, the large
number of Chinese in attendance at
both the public AM private schools gnd
the object of securing additional teach
erS.
The ViceToy was very much interest
ed in the subject, and before the in
terView concluded promised that the
passports would be issued without Hny
charge, ard this was done.
Mr.. Thwing says there is a great
movement of progress and reform go
ing on throughout China. Its influence
is felt on the schools maintained by the
Chinese themselves One of the most
striking features of the change going
on is in The school books now used in
the Chinese schools. Instead of, as
formerly, teaching The great classics by
rote, the school books used begin with
simple matter suited to children, well
