which Morley says that he is prepared
to prove.
The former valet did not leave the
employ of Thaw until some time after
the latter's marriage to Evelyn Nesbit.
He was the young Pittsburger's body
servant during the period of his wild

of his ardent wooing of the artist

Inquiry Is Being Held to

VALLEJO, Feb. Is. It became
known today that an inquiry is being

The yorktown had been ordered to
Magdalena Bay to protect American

but just before starting 1t was found
that her boilers were leaking badly,
and examination showed that eleven
rivets had been removed, apparently
deliberately.

Hawaiian Amendment
Is TO Be Enacted
School Board Will
Open Doors to
japanese
Controversy Ended
for fhe Time Being
By Ira E. Bennett

WASHINGTON, Feb. Is.
Japanese coolies are to be
prevented from coming to
California from Hawaii.
Japanese school children Of
proper age are to be admit
ted into the public schools
of San Francisco.
These are the results, so
far as concerns California,
of one of the most bewilder-
ing displays of big sticks
ever known in Washington.
Everybody was on the
rampage. Japan also swung
her stick and refused to ac-
cept the proposal to estab-
lish separate schools for
Japanese In San Francisco.
Secretary Root swung
this announcement over
Schmitz's head and forced
him to surrender on the
school question. The Presi-
dent brought out his stick
and told the Senate that if
the immigration bill with
the japanese exclusion
amendment was not passed
he would call an extra ses-
sion of Congress Immediately. When
Senator AIdrich in New York heard OF
the Presidents threat he sent Word
that unless Senators Tillman and Ba-
con agreed TO permit the immigration
bill to come to vote by Saturday
night clauses in the river and harbor
bill pertaining to South Carolina and
Georgia would be stricken OUT
Within an hour an agreement was
reached among the Senators for a vote
on the bill before adjournment tomor-
row.
ALL FALL BEFORE CLUB
The steamship companies heard thai
Tillman and Bacon were wavering. and
word was sent to certain Senator'S that
they must rally the assistance OF the
southerners. Thereupon two Re-,
publican Senator's attacked the bill and
are expected to be joined by others to-
morrow. But the bill will pass.
There will be no extra session. sena-
tor AIdrich will leave for Europe. as he
had planned. Immediately after March L
Mayor schmitz was called to the
State Department this morning Secre-
tary Root informed him that Toxic had
declined the proposition to establish
a separate school for Japanese children
in San Francisco. schmitz returned to
his hotel and told the school Board
that the Jig was up.
The only thing that they could hopa
for was the exclusion of coolies coming
from Hawaii and the assurance OF ef-
forts to negotiate an exclusion treaty

SACRAMENTO, Feb. IS
The submission of a direct pri-
mary constitutional amendment
for adoption or rejection by the
people of California depends upon
the action of the Assembly. If
the Assembly consents to the
adoption of the joint rules which
governed the deliberations of the
last Legislature, the people of
California will have an oppor-
tun1ty to authorize the next Leg
1slature TO enact direct primary
laws and thereby redeem the plat
form pledges made by the Repub-
llcan and Democratic parties
Should the Assembly refuse to
adopt joint rules, there is perhaps
one chance in one hundred that
any constitutional amendment
touching the subject of direct
nominations will be submitted
and that one chance involves the
problematical submission of an
amendment that will be satisfactory to
no one save the practical politicians
who are IN princirIa o,~o-5
primary legislation.
SENATE SAVES ITSELF
Ihere is more than direct primary
legislation involved. the question of
joint rules. but none of such ironor-
lance to the people. The Senate is IN
a position to assert with everv color ,of
fact and apparent good faith that II has
performed its part in the preparation of
all the legislation on which the two
bodies differ. The machine end of tba
Assembly has Willingly and unwittine
ly played nicely into the Senate's hand
and now the Assembly must como
through or accept responsibility for +ha
defeat of legislation in which the nao-
pie of the State as whole are directly
interested

fortunately for the Assembly. as If NAV
be, and unfortunately for the peonIa
the Assembly has permitted the diract
primary act to be the pivot on which
the dinerences are to turn. The Senate

viso tying the Legislature to the nres-
ent primary law until direct nr;mar,

The Democrats in the Senate attempted
to play politics with it and falling. as
they knew they must fail, to tinker the
amendment in any way, voted for it.
The proviso did not suit either tba
Pardee men in the Assembly or the few
who thought they might be deprived OF
chance to make the present law man
datory in a county or two. Some of the
Pardee men lodged the vote, but more
of them staid and helped draw the ll,rid
pictures of the horrible fate awaiting
the people II the present intermediary
primary law could only be changed for
a direct primary law. The result was
sufficient number of votes to prevent
concurrence in an amendment to a
measure that would give the Senate
greater leverage upon the lower house
than any one measure pending at this
session.

Indications point out that the Gold

the biggest in the county. The phe-
nomenal assays had of ore from the
district, the substantial first payments

On the south extension of the Flor

George Riehl has made a good strike
