ton was made were passed Wednesday.
after which the Senate devoted the re-
mainder of the day to the immigration
bill, consisting of a series of amendments
to the existing law designed to bring about
a better distribution of the immigrants
throughout the country. After long dis
cussion the bill was passed. Republican
and Democratic leaders FLASHED in the

handing a roll call on the motion to go

For an hour or more Tuesday the
House of Representatives could not de-
eide whether to go into committee of the
whole on the diplomatic and consular bill
or to follow the lead of Mr.. Gardner of
Massachusetts and take up the immigra-
ton bill. Assisted by Mr.. Williams, Mr..

present, and eventually the consular bill
was taken up and general debate begun.

CHARLESTON TOUGH MURDER
FL oUsLY ASSAULTED WELL
KNOWN JUDGE.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Aug. 30
Great indignation Is expressed over
Ia dastard1y assault on Police Judge
iWertz on the corner of Capital and
quarter streets, in the business CEN
terof the town, by Grant Edens, a 10
cal tough. Just before the assault
Judge Wertz had been examining
Edens, witness in case OF selling
liquor to minors Eden slipped up
behind Judge Wertz and struck him
on the back on the head, shocking him
down. Eden then kicked the Judge in
the face vtciously, badly inJuring one
eye. But for the interference of by
staniers the Judge might have been
Killed. He was very badly injured.
Edens was placed in jail.
But few minutes after, Saloontst
Stark, the man accused at the trial,
went to JaiIer Melton and asked to
be allowed to take Edens with him.
which request the -1aIler strangly
grated.
Later Edens made a murderous as
sault on policeman, but got his
heal cracked and was locked up. To.
day he was fined $25 and given TWEEN
ty days in jail on charge of resist
ing arrest and will be held TO await
the extent of Judge wertz's injuries
for a hearing on that charge.
II Is said that there is an ugly
story connected with the release of
Edens by Jailer Melton which may
be out in a few days. Judge Wertz's
fight against gamblers and saloon
keepers that violate the law. has
made him many enemies among the
lawbreakers and thugs, of which
Charleston has more thep han. her share.
