Out of it's plenty New York yesterday gave
s55OOOo for the relief of San Francisco 1t
uas not as large an amount as reported on
Friday. but It told of the sympathy OF the peo-
ple TO a far greater degree, as most OF tho con-
tr,huf,ons were In amounts under 5000 The
LIST Of those who gave more than 500 Is an I'M
posing one. however. There were scores OF in
stances yesterday where children empueo the'r
savings banks and poor clerks gave up Gay

Pacific Coast.

terent parts of the city telling the story OF dis
aster. and In al collected S1.0O0 for the fund.
Their collections came largely in the form OF
nickels and dimes
The Chamber of Commerce collected the
largest amount for the day, It's total peins

,or which the Mayor is the sponsor The Stock
Exchange added some $4,000 and the Produce

change collected $1,000 additional
The fear that the Mayors relief committee
and the Red Cross might be in CONFLICT was
dissipated early yesterday. Cleveland H Dodge
chairman of the executive committee OF the
New York State Red Cross issued a state
ment early In the day which declared that
the Red Cross was not In competition In any
way with the work of the Mayors committee
and did not wish to assume any Of the credit for
the vast work which it is doing. He pointed
out that both Funds had the same treasurer IN

The Chamber of Commerce may use it's large
fund for the purpose Of re-estaolishing the small
merchants of San Francisco in business. There
is feeling that the immediate wants Of the
people will be cared for by the Red Cross. The
plan is TO give a few hundred dollars to each
small tradesman who has been wiped out. This
will enable him to resume business and have a
great effect in putting San Francisco on its feet
This plan has not yet been decided on. however.

MED the charges in toto and said that II
was a story emanating from the brains OF

PROCEEDINGS OF THE HOUSE
Public Printer Instructed to Use
Usual photography in Documents

Public Printer Instructed to Use
Usual photography In Documents.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE house to-
day began the consideration of the legls-
lative, executive and judicial appropriation
bill by paragraphs and completed thirty
four pages of the bill before adjournment.
Several hours were consumed in debating
an amendment referring to simplihed SPELL
ing with the result that the original pro-
vision on that subject was eliminated and
another amendment adopted. The new pre-
vision instructs the public printer to use
the photography generally recognized by
the standard dictionaries The house adj
journed at 4 p. m. until tomorrow.
For hours today the debate on simpllied
spelling held the attention Of the house
and a score or more members took part
in the discussion.
Representative Crumpacker OF Indiana
made a point OF order against the original
paragraph in the bill which provided that
public documents should be spelled as Web
ster's or other generally accepted diction-
aries spell them.
This provision was held TO change exist
ing law and the point of order was sus-
tanned Representative Bingham OF Penn
sylvania in charge of the bill, then offered
an amendment with the above provisions,
which was adopted.
During the discussion Mr.. Sullivan OF
Massachusetts remarked that IL the presI-
dent by Imperial ukase" could change the
spelling of 800 words of the English Ian
guage he would have the authority to
change 10000 words, or every word in our
language.
II this could be done. he thought a new
court language might be established by leg
islatlve decree for the new American en-
pire.
I'VE got along very well with the Eng
Iish language until the reign Of the present
president of the United States" said Mr..
Sullivan.
Representative Lacey thought the para
graph as originally reported should remain
in the bill. He said the new words were
offensive 20 the eye. but "perchance by con-
slant association we might get used to
them"
ITO put them by executive order into the
laws of the land before they have reached
literature" remarked MI Lacey. lis get
ting the thing wrong end foremost. Lit
erature comes first photography afterward.
Let this congress put this declaration into
law; 1t is not enacting anything, but 1t is
simply protesting against interference with
established custom as It has been followed
for more Nhan one nuhuteu years.
While Mr.. Grosvenor was discussing the
amendment Mr.. Towne OF New York asked
him whether the item referred to was not
ION page 2s, beginning with line 23?"
yes, l believe So" replied Mr.. Gros-
venor.
/ Then is not that double skiddoo. and
/ IL So does Il not OF necessity go out?"
"Oh that's an old story replied MT.

.RAYNER ON The JAPANESE
Maryland Senator Defends Course Of School
Board Of San francisco,
EXPRESSES FEAR OF EXECUTIVE POWER
In Speech in senate Course of Presi-
dent in Matter of Oriental At
tendance at schools is
Attacked.

WASHINGTON, Dec 12-Much interest
was manifested in the senate in the posi-
ton defended by Senator Rayner today In
his discussion of the japanese question.
He oontended that the inherent right Of
state could not be violated by treaty any
more than they could be violated by con-
gress. TO support this he cited many ad-
Indicated cases before the supreme court
and arrayed long lines Of eminent authori-
ties
Mr.. Rayner also gave the cases and au-
thorities Of the other side to the PROPOSE
ton. He was interrupted many times in
this constitutional argument by senator's
who wished to bring out specific points.
Mr.. Rayner spoke for more than an hour.
Caustic criticism OF President Roosevelts
position OF the Japanese question prefaced
Senator Rayner's discussion in the senate
today of the constitutional questions in
volved. II the military and civil forces
of the federal government were to be used
by the president, Mr.. Rayner said, II be-
came very important to know the exact
power of the president in the matter.
Because" he added 1T is quite a serious
matter in view OF the great calamity that
has lately befallen the city of San Fran
cisco for the president to contemplate the
bombardment Of the city at this time and
declare war against the boards Of county
school trustees OF California II there is no
justification or pretext upon which such
proceedings can be undertaken. II he can
take possession OF the public schools of
California and compel the state to admit
the Japanese students contrary to the
laws OF California, he could with equal
propriety send us an amendment TO the
Santo Domingo treaty and demand the ad-
mission OF the negro children OF Santo
Domingo into the white schools OF South
Carolina or Of any other states of the
union.
Position of Speaker.
"Of course IL the people have come to
the conclusion that everything that the
president recommends is right then there is
hardly any use in contesting any of his
propositions and instead of comforting
upon him the power to give congress in
formation of the state of the union we
might confer upon him the function of
furnishing his own peculiar views upon
the entire state of the universe and re-
commencing any improvements or changes
in the general plan OF creation that he
may deem expedient from the cradle to
the grave"
| Mr.. Rayner proposed, he said, to plant
himself on these two propositions:
First-That there is no provision what
! ever in the treaty with Japan that confers
the right that the president speaks OF or
/ gives to the government Of Japan the
| the public school system of California or
| of any other state
Second-If there was such a provision in
this treaty, or any other treaty comforting
/ this right, the treaty would be void and
without any authority upon the part of the
of the constitution and the treaty making
power OF the government.

was laid before the senate today by the

Goarin giving II as the consensus of opin-
ion of the senate that negotiations be en-

listing treaty, with view Of securing such
modification of this treaty as will abso-
lutely prohibit the entrance into the United
