NEWELL IS FOUND GUILTY.
Convicted of Assault Upon Victor f.
Adler with Dangerous Weapon.

AIphonso NJ. Newell, who on October 81
shot Victor f. Adler at his store, Seventh
street and Massachusetts avenue. In the
arm, yesterday was found guilty Of as
Sault with a dangerous weapon. The jury
recommended Newell to the mercy of
the court, and Justice Stafford in reply
to the finding Of the jury, stated that he
had taken notice of their recommendation.
Newell was remanded for sentence. The
government abandoned the count with in
tent to kill. and stood on the count which
charged assault with a dangerous weap-
on. Newell claimed self-defense.
Mrs. Newell and her two little boys
We're in court during the trial, and when
the jury returned the verdict yesterday
afternoon, she was overcome with
emotion. She was supported to her hus-
bands side, who tried to console and
sOothe her. The scene was most pathetic
as Newell was led away by the court
bailih. He again gently patted his wife,
tenderly kissed her, and gave her words
of cheer and encourag cement.

PRESIDENT DISCARDS HAT.
Sets style for Tennis Cabinet on
White House Court.

When President Roosevelt plays tennis
in the afternoons on the court in the
White House yard. he usually appears
without hat or cap. He has a good
growth Of hair. and this is all the pro-
lection his scalp has from the weather
Yesterday it was quite chilly, but no
hcadgear adorned the Presidents head
The game yesterday was d double. Bat
the President wasn't the only bareheaded
one in the game. None Of the other three
wore hats.
A black sweater is worn by Mr. Roose-
velt during the tennis game on most
occasions. He wears easy-fitting shoes
and ordinary trousers. The court Just
south Of the Executive Offices is we'll pro-
tected by screens. but this does not keep
the Tubbernecks from collecting in the
vicinity when it is known that the Presi-
dent is TO play.
Although they can only see Mr.. RoOse-
welt daTtng from one end of the court
TO the other and cannot get a good look
at him at that. the tourists always seem
more satisfied and go away planning how
they will tell their friends at home that
they have seen the President of the
United States participating in a game
Of tennis in the shadow of the White
House.

WANTSNEW JAPANESE TREATY
Gearin Asks Senate to Declare
Against Entrance of Coolies.
Offers Resolution FavOring COnven-
tfOn Providing for Exclusion.
south and West TO support Il.

The attitude of the people of the Pa
eiic Coast in the matter Of a new treaty
with Japan. which shall provide for the
exclusion Of japanese laborers, is indi-
Gated by a resolution offered in the Sen
ate yesterday by Senator Gearin, Of Ore
gon. The resolution was laid on the table
at the request Of it's author who will call
it up and address the Senate with refer
ence to it some time in the near future.
The preamble of the resolution recites
that a controversy has arisen as to the
rights of japanese residents in the United
States under the existing treaty, and de-
clares It to be desirable that all cause Of
misunderstanding as to the scope and
meaning of the terms used in that cOnven-
ton should be removed 10 the end that
the present friendly relations between the
two governments shall continue. It is
also declared to be the sense of the
Senate that the further unrestricted i'm
migration Of japanese lsboTers into the
United States Is not desirable, and that
II is advisable that negotiations be entered
into at once with the japanese govern
ment with a view TO securing such mOdi-
hcation of the existing treaty as viii
clearly define and enUmerate the rights
guaranteed under 1t. and provide that
the further entry Of japanese coolie labor
ers into this country be prohibited.
The resolution will be supported by
practically all Of the Western and South
crn Senators. and is expected to be favor
ably received by many from other sec
tons, also. Unless the friends OF the
TD,s.ei1arf ove~,ogp IL on The CrD1Tud that
il might tend 70 further complicate the
japanese situation, the Pacific Coast legis-
Iators think there is a possibility Of Its
being adopted. That an exclusion treaty
will be negotiated eventually is the opin-
ion Of many. but those in closest touch
with the matter do not expect any definite
action until some agreement on the sub
jectS brought Un by the san Francisco
schDoI Gaze is reached.
