representatives from 20 to cents pei
mile went out.
Mr. Littauer of New York and Mr.
Tawney offered amendments to the
general deficiency bill for the reclassi.
fication of the clerical forces of the
departments of government, but they
went out on a point of order.
There was no debate on the amend.
ment permitting the secretary of the
treasury to receive from the Cubar
government moneys to reimburse the
amount paid out by this government
for present intervention.

SENATOR MILLER
TRIES TO THWART
SANFORD'S PLANS
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press
SACRAMENTO, March 1.-Republi
can applause, elected by the speech OF
a Democrat, and a disagreement be-
tween two of the leading Democratic
senators on the Japanese question, was
feature of the senate's proceedings
this afternoon.
Following the failure of Senator San
ford this morning to force his anti
Japanese resolutions from the commit
tee on federal relations, which brought
out the statement from Senator Wolfe
that the Legislature would take up the
Japanese questions before 1t adjourned,
Senator Caminetti this afternoon called
up his bill which provides that the dis
Chinese and Japanese school children
shall be left to a vote of the people
in the city or county affected.
1t Immediately developed that all was
not harmony in the minority camp.
Senator Miller of Tulare wanted to
know what effect the passage of the
bill would have on the president and
on Japan and asked Caminetti If he did
not think it would encourage or pre-
cipitate war.
Move Not Diplomatic
However much he disliked to differ
with his colleague, said Miller, he con-
sidered it his duty to say that it would
be unwise, not diplomatic nor good
judgment to pass the bill in view of
the presidents request and the fact
| that negotiations were pending with
Japan.
Whatever the presidents politics
might be he was president Of the whole
United States, and as such his request
should receive consideration and re-
spect. Miller expressed the belief that
the officers of the government regard
less of politics, would esttle the ques-
tion with honor to the country and he
urged deliberation, allegiance and fair
ness.
His speech was loudly applauded by
the Republicans.
! The reported negotiations was news
paper talk, said Caminetti, and he de-
clared that Mayor Schmitz had no au-
| thority TO go to Washington and bind
the people of San Francisco and CALI
fornia TO an agreement which he had
no right to make. on motion of Wolfe
further consideration of the bill was
postponed.

today when Senator Sanford for the
second time attempted to force from
the committee on federal relations his
resolutions protesting against the I'M
migration and naturalization OF Jap

Senator Wolfe opposed sanford's mo-
ton and declared that the legislature
would not adjourn until It had taken
up the Japanese question. He said that
there was not a member Of the legisla-
ture who was not In favor of taxing
some action. All the bills introduced
bearing upon the various Japanese
questions, he said, would be made
special order of business for some day
next week.
Wolfe did not see any immediate
danger Of Japanese naturalization
Sanford Not Satisfied
This, however, did not satisfy San
ford, who said that the legislature had
listened to the whlzzing of the big
stick over It's head long enough and
had sacrificed the interests of Califor-
MIA until the east thought that the peo-
pie of this state had no backbone. lie
thought 1t a big mistake and wanted
the world to know where the people Of
California stood. Sanford declared that
If President Roosevelt had delivered
his message to congress month before
election California would have gone
Democratic by 100000.
When the previous question was
moved Sanford accused Wolfe of ap-
plying the gag" rule. His motion was
lost. Just before the senate took a re-
cess at noon CaminettPs bill providing
that the segregation of Chinese and
Japanese In separate schools shall not
be discontinued until the people Of the
city or county in which the schools are
located shall have voted upon the ques-
tion. The consideration of the measure
was postponed until afternoon.

ADAMS COUNSEL
WINS A VICTORY
VITAL TESTIMONY IS RULED
OUT BY COURT
Alleged Murderer Of Fred Tyler Prae-
tIcalIy Proves an Abb.
Case Now Nearing
the Close
nr Assnnlnted Press.

BY Associated Press.
WALLACE, Idaho, March 1.-The
sharpest fight that has occurred in the
long trial Of steve Adams for the muir
der of Fred Tyler ended this morning
in a notable victory for the defense,
when Judge Wood announced that he
would overrule the petition Of the state
for permission TO recall Mrs. Arthur
Phillips and then open the case for the
prosecution.
The testimony to be given by Mrs.
Phillips was regarded as vital for the
case of the state. it having been dis
covered that the date on which she
heard the shots that killed Tyler was
Sunday August {, not Wednesday, Au-
gust TO- as assumed all along by the
state.
The defense, it is conceded, has been
able to establish a strong alibi for
Adams on Wednesday, August 10, but
has left unguarded the morning of Au-
gust T. on which date Mrs Phillips
now claims the shooting occurred.
The states new theory Is that II
would have been easy for Adams after
the shooting early in the morning to
travel to Mason's cabin in time to take
part in the birthday dinner, at which
his presence Is so well attested.
Evidence Excluded
All this new evidence, the defense is
now able to exclude.
The principal witnesses for the state
in rebuttal this morning were w. B
Chandler and Miss Mamie Sherer OF
Spokane, who testified to having met
Jack Sinpkins in the st. Joe country
August "a, 1904. Chandler identified q
photograph of Simpkins and gave a de-
scription of the appearance of the man
The case will probably go to the jury
next Tuesday or Wednesday.
Stenographer Hubener, who took
Adams confession, and Warden Whit
ney of the penitentiary were called by
the state and testified that Adams said:
Il do not want my wife to suffer fol
my crime"
The last witness for the state in re-
buttal was George H. Root of Wallace
He testified to meeting Simpkins and
Adams at a meeting Of settlers in the
Marble Creek country the first of Au-
gust, 1904, when the matter of claim
jumping was discussed. The defense
announced that it had no further wit
nesses. Argument began this afternoon

Special to The Herald

Special to The Herald
NEW YORK, March Mrs. An
gelina Cannatello is a very naughty
little girl, her parents say, sadly. They
say, too, that she is IA years old, and
who can doubt that the statement is
authoritative? Yet when Mrs. Gamma
tello was arraigned in the children s
court all the other children cried joy
ously: 'Oh, gee, look at the giantess!"
and crowded around her as If they were
in a dime museum.
The youthful Mrs Cannatello lacks
one inch of being six feet tall. She
weighs 175 pounds and any foolish per-
son with the bad habit of betting would
lay his last cent that she is rs years
old, not IA. Her father, Joseph Mani
malo, with whom she lives at 419 East
Fourteenth street, charged his bay
child with grand larceny and she was
promptly convicted of stealing $50
worth of his jewelry and pawning it
in Newark
Sentence Delayed
The merciful magistrate will not pass
sentence on the poor little thing until
next Wednesday. Meantime the police
will try to learn something about her
brief career to offset the childish in
discretions to which she confessed yes
terday. Hearing her, the court officers,
who are all amateur criminologists
said confidently:
"Lombroso would be greatly interest
ed in this child; plainly her moral de-
velopment is an also ran as compared
to her physical growth"
Blushing prettily and with a coy
forefinger between her pouting lips
Mrs. Cannatello admitted that when
she was 12 years old she was arrested
for begging on the street. On May 2E
last she was shot by a jealous suitor.
She recovered and the man was sent
to the Elmira reformatory. In Sep
tember, 1905, she eloped with Augustine
Cannatello. Both were arrested, but
were discharged on the promise thai
they would be married.

Twelve Vote No

Seventeen of the senators present
voted for the measure and twelve
against it. At the critical moment
when the end of the roll call was
reached Senator Leavitt walked over to
Wright and engaged him in conversa-
tion. Before Wright realized it Presi-
dent Porter had announced the vote
and the opportunity to make motion
to bring the absent senator's in the SEN
ate had passed.
The action was irrevocable under the
rules of the senate. Leavitt and Wright
both seemed much embarrassed. The
former, who was opposed to the meas
Ure, denied any intention of having di-
verted Wright's attention for the pur-
pose of defeating the amendment.
To square himself with the women
of the state and prevent the possibility
of having his action misconstrued,
Leavitt gave notice of a reconsidera-
ton of the vote by which The amend
merit was refused adoption. .
Senator Carter of Los Angeles first
voted in favor of the measure, but sud-
denly had a change of heart and
changed his vote to no.
Willis of Redlands was the only sem
ator who took the floor in opposition
to the amendment except Hartman of
San Francisco, no merely said he
"hoped it would get as many votes as
his anti-prize fight pill" Willis said
that but a small proportion of the wom-
en- of the state wanted the right to
vote, and he did not think the measure
should be adopted because a few hard
thinking and hard-eyed women wanted
it.
He declared that the measure was
only advocated by club women and ar
gued that it would degrade woman to
enter politics. Territorially speaking,
he said he represented one-fifth of the
state, and not one woman had asked
him to support the measure.
Senators Boynton and Wright made
a strong argument in favor of the
amendment.
