SHAKHETUN, Manchuria. March 1
(Wednesday).-A stubborn fight is
waging on the left wing. Vigorous at
tacks Of the Japanese on the village
Of Kudaza have been repulsed and the
Russians maintain their position,
thanks to the intervention Of a relief
column which attacked the Japanese
from the west after two passes had
been occupied. This column was hard
pressed by the Japanese and suffered
great losses. It advanced In detach-
ments to the neighborhood Of Obentu-
pusa and was attacked thrice during
the night, at II. midnight and a. m,
but repulsed all the Japanese on
slaughts.
To the westward the Japanese made
q night attack on Kutal Pass. Some Of
the assaults were repulsed. but at a

two outworks which had been de-
stroyed by the Japanese artillery and
retired to adjacent and better fortified
positions.

A severe bonbardment Is continuing

The battle must be fought before

never been permitted to witness any
gambling.
Sergeant Ellis was called to the stand
and Attorney Mogan was on guard to
protect his interests. Ellis admitted
that gambling was conducted fin some
OF the clubs. but when asked what he
did when he received such information
he declined to answer. on the ground
that it would incriminate himself.
Attorney Kahn, for Whitman. stated
that he had no objection, but the
board did not insist upon an answer.
When asked about the Lambert mat
ter Ellis said that it was possible he
mentioned the matter to the watch
mah, but. not with the intention of
warning the inmates of the club. Ell
lis said he once informed Whitman
that gambling was going on and that
the chief replied Il guess so.' Then
came a stunning question for Ellis.
He was about to leave the stand when
Commissioner Reagan addressed this
remark to him:
Sergeant Ellis, I want to ask a ques-
ton. You may answer 1t or you may
remain silent Just as you please. If
you decide to answer you may take as
long to consider as you desire. Will
you swear that to the best Of your
ability you tried to suppress gambling
in Chinatown"
There was a silence in the Commits
siohers' room for many seconds and
finally Ellis lifted his head and said,
II decline to answer"
He was told to leave the stand and
he passed out to the corridor. Joseph
A. Kelly and George Downey both spe-
cial watchmen in Chinatown, testified
that the Chinese regarded Sergeant
Cook as possessed of supernatural pow
ers and that they had a superstitious'
dread of him. For that reason he has
been able to suppress gambling. Dow
ney said that the heathens believe If
Cook touches one of them dire results,
will follow and he related several INCL
dents in support Of his assertions. The
case was then postponed until next
Tuesday afternoon at o'clock, and the
prosecution will continue its case.

TO PAY BILLS
OF THE STATE
Measure Carrying General
Appropriations Goes to
Governor for Signature
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SACRAMENTO, March 2.-The gen
eral appropriation bill for the main
tenance of the State government
passed the Senate to-day at noon and
was sent to the Governor for, his sig
nature. The bill was passed without
debate, all changes suggested by mem
bers of the upper house having been
made last Monday night.
Senator Ward introduced bill this
afternoon designed to amend the law
now existing relative to the assess
ment of the franchises Of national
banks. The purpose Of the amendment
is to make the law conform to the
recent decision of the United States
Supreme Court, which Is done by
amending section 3608 of the Political
Code and providing that from the gross
value Of the stock OF the banks in ques-
tion there shall be subtracted the value
of the visible assets, the difference rep
:resenting the value of the franchise
liable for assessment.
Among the bills. passed by the SEN
ate to-day was one appropriating $4,000
for the purchase Of lands to be added
to the grounds of the Veterans Home
at Yountville.
Two measures that have been dis
cussed more or less during the session
were finally defeated in the Senate.
One, designed to cover the Weber case,
provided that a person convicted Of
murder In the first degree be barred
from inheriting through law or taking
through will any property Of his vic
tim. majority of the Senate held
that the bill. if passed, would amount
to bill Of attainder, bill prohibited
by the federal constitution
The other bill sought to fix the mini
mum rate Of compensation for labor on
public works at So day. Senator
Rowen pointed out that the time might
come when the State, to relieve dis
tress, might want to employ a great
army OF men, a thing it could not af-
ford to do If compelled to pay each man
sS day. This settled the question
and the bill was voted down.
Governor Pardee received telegram
from United States Senator Perkins to-
day to the effect that he had included
In the sundry civil service bill an ap-
preparation OF $4,000 for the mainte-
nance of the Yosemite Valley for the
coming fiscal year. Senator Perkins
also Informed the Governor that the
Federal Government would accept the
regrant of the valley and would forth
with undertake its improvement. The
members of the Legislature that fought
so hard to pass the Yosemite recession
bill are gratifled at the quick action
taken by California's senior Senator
and point TO the same as evidence Of
the fact that the State has done wise
thing in receding the great scenic spot
of the State to the care Of the National
Government.
McCartney's bill providing that a
wife may sue for separate maintenance
or, in other words, may obtain a decree
Of separation with maintenance with
out the necessity of obtaining final
decree Of divorce, thus enabling the
husband to remarry, was finally passed
by the Senate tonight and sent to the
Governor for his signature.

REGENTS WILL ESCAPE.
Attempt to Approve Committee Re.
port Again Defeated.


SACRAMENTO March BY a
vote of 18 to IA the Senate refused
this morning to reconsider the vote
by which the University Of California
investigating committee report was
defeated and the question is now fin
ally disposed of. Senator Shortridge
led the attack on the. report and Car
ter, chairman of the investigating
committee, defended 1t. When the
result was made known Carter said
that the Senate's action in sustaining
system of finance that had resulted
in such great loss to the university
would cause him to oppose the appro
priation Of any moneys for the main
tenance Of the college and that he
would vote against all bills providing
for such appropriations.
Shortridge, in his attack on the re-
port, said the board Of regents repre-
sents the very flower of the best cit
izenship of California, whether con-
sidered from any standpoint, tntelleo-
tual or moral. The adoption of the
report, he said. would justify every
member of the board in handing in
his resignation and the loss could not
well be repaired.
"It. is hard to watch thief." he
said in conclusion, "and the greatest
financial institutions OF the ago have
been looted by embezzlers."

REMoDELs THE SESSION.
stantonls Bill Debated and Amended
I'm the Assembly.


SACRAMENTO, March 2.-The con-
law relative to sessions of the Legis-
lature that Stanton has had on the
Assembly file for some weeks was
called up this morning for passage.
AS submitted by him it provided for
q ninety-day session. to begin on the
same date as now, SO day for the
members and limit Of $500 day for
the expenses Of each house, which
would include salaries Of attaches.
Houser, chairman Of the committee
on constitutional amendments has
been uncompromising in his conten-
ton that the expense limit should be
fixed ait $3.50 day and Stanton, when
he called his amendment for passa ge,
offered an amendment substituting
Houser's figures for the original. The
amendment was concurred in.
Before the measure could be placed
on final passage Drew submitted
another amendment providing that
after the first thirty days of the session
the Legislature may adjourn for ten
days, during which the various COM
mittees shall visit the public institu-
tions for which appropriations are de-
sired and that the transportation COM
panies shall furnish them transporta-
ton free for such purposes. He argued
that thee adoption Of his amendment
would do away with the scandals and
newspaper criticisms now arising from
the so-called junketing trips. There
was no opposition and this amendment
was also adopted.
Drew said he favored fixing the SAL
aries OF members at fat $1,000 for the
session, as he. did not believe the
people would object to paying that for
the eighty days work Of their repre-
sentatives IL the latter kept the ex-
penses down. A recess was taken at
this jlncture. but the measure was not
called up again. either at the afternoon
or night session. Stanton will with
draw it when 1T is called again, as he
does not like the amendments
