SACRAMENTO, Feb. Ex-senator

forced his anti-prize fight bill from the
senate committee on public morals after
sharp speech in which he accused the
committee OF trying to keep the bill
buried till too late To take action on 1t.
Hartmann introduced a resolution
calling upon the committee to report
the bill. After a somewhat acrimonious
debate the resolution was adopted by
the narrow margin of one vote. Ihe
vote stood II to 16.
Hartmann declared that he had been
before the committee time and again
trying to get his bill out, and that
promises had been made to him for
three weeks that the bill would be re-
ported out of committee. He declared
that 1t was plain the committee In
tended TO keep it buried unless the
bill was forced out.
Senator Leavitt of Oakland strongly
opposed the resolution, and Senator
Irish of the committee which has the
bill said there had been no quorum in
the committee for some time, an ex-
PLANTATION which Hartmann refused to
accept.
Senator Mccartney today attempted
to amend Senator Savage's bill, which
fixes the minimum compensation in
public work at SO a day. Mccartney
wanted to make 1t $3.50 saying 50 would
be a hardship on Los Angeles in the
development of the owens river water
supply. The amendment was voted
down.
Bills were introduced in both houses
today calling for an appropriation OF
$10O. 900 for a state exhibit at the Alas
ka-Yukon exposition at Seattle in 1909.
Senator Walker introduced a bill aool-
ishing the fish commission.
The committee on ways and means
today made a favorable report on the
appropriation of $4,000 for the erection
and establishment OF a manual train
ing school in connection with the state
normal at San Diego, and $4,000 for
Improvement and repairs of the latter
Other appropriations recommended
are as follows: $4,000 to the woman s
Relief Corps home at Evergreen, Santa
Clara county; $500 for the restoration
of records of the supreme court at San
Francisco.
The committee returned without rec
concentrations the bill asking for an ap-
propriation of SIS, 900 for a hospital and
$4,000 for the erection of new manual
training school at the Whittier reform
school.
The committee on pubic buildings
and grounds recommended the appro-
priation of s75.650 for repairs and i'm
provements at the Yountvllle Veter-
ans home. The committee on judiciary
today reported favorably on Coghlan's
bill. making 1t the duty Of superior
judges in felony cases where the PEN
atty is less than life imprisonment to
discharge juries within twelve hours
after retirement for deliberation and
within twenty-four hours in trials Of
capital crimes.

Berlin Newspapers Say American
Wore CutaWay Coat and White
Check Shirt at Afternoon
Reception
By Associated Press.

BERLIN; Feb. 13.-Various newspa-
pers Of Berlin have been publishing
unpleasant articles apout harry s.
Lehr of New York and what Is said to
have been his misbehavior at the court
ball given a fortnight ago.
What began as pleasantly over his
having worn a cutaway coat and a
black and white check shirt at an aft
ernoon reception given by Princess
Eitel Fredericks ladies of honor be-
came a regular campaign, so that every
day for week brought fresh stories
concerning him-that he had made a
scene over a question of precedence of
his wife; that he had worn trousers
turned up at the bottom In the presence
OF the emperor and other ridiculous
things.
From this the discussion passed TO
general criticisms of Americans and of
the embassy, 1t is affirmed by persons
who We're present at the court ball that
not one of the stories has the least
foundation. Ambassador Tower says:
THE conduct of Mr.. Lehr during his
visit to Berlin was marked throughout
by the same decorum as that OF any
other American gentleman and was not
open i'm any respect TO diverse criti-
cism."

SCHOOL PROBLEM
ABOUT SETTLED
BY Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-The Jap
anese school controversy is settled in
so far as President Roosevelt, Mayor
Schmitz and the members of the San
Francisco school board are concerned.
An amicable adjustment of the session
now rests with congress. If the amend
ment to the immigration bill proposed
by Secretary Root excluding foreigners
who use their passports to gain ad-
mission to the United States to THE
country" is accepted by the senate
and the house and the impigration bill
is passed at this session of congress,
the San Francisco board of education
will rescind its order esta blishing the
oriental schools unless the japanese
government agrees to a proposition to
separate schools which will provide
equal facilities for the japanese chill
dren.
Mayor Schmitz and his associates
conversed with the president today and
assured Mr.. Roosevelt that the amend
ment to the immigration bill was en-
tirely satisfactory to them.
Secretary Root participated in the
conference and made a report on his
negotiations with the Republican lead
eA in congress and the Japanese am
bassadOr. While the Californians are
still hopeful that Viscount Aoki, the
Japanese ambassador, will agree to
separate schools in California, they
stand willing to rescind the order es-
tablishing the oriental schools and
against admitting japanese children
to the white schools.

Bill Holds Over

The immigration bill has been in con-
ference since last session of congress
and there has been grave doubt as to
whether an agreement could be reached
at all. The principal points of difference
were in relation to the proposed edu-
cation test for immigrants and a pro-
vision that persons coming to this
country solely to avoid prosecution or
punishment on religious or political
grounds shall not be deported because
of want of means or the probability of
being unable to earn a livelihood. Both
provisions were eliminated.
1t is believed that had it not been for
the necessity of some legislation look
ing to the exclusion of foreigners
deemed a menace to labor there could
have been no agreement. The immigra-
tion bill. having passed both houses
last session, offered the best opportuni-
ty for legislation looking to exclusion
of undesirable classes, in that the addi-
ton of the conference report upon the
immigration bill is all that 1t required
to make the provision effective

Tax on Aliens 81

Under the agreement of the con-

provision of 81 and the senate provision
of s.. The senate provision exempting
from payment of head tax persons VINO
have resided in Canada, Newfoundland,
Cuba or Mexico for one year was re-
tained. The conference made an ex-
ception of those islands. There were
a few other points in dispute, but be-
tween the conference committees there
was no difficulty in reaching an agree
ment on other features of the bill
A new feature added to the measure
proposes to amend the navigation laws
relating to the carriage of passengers
by sea by increasing the air space al.
lowed TO each immigrant or passenger
other than cabin passengers.
The report was laid before the senate
by Senator Dillingham;, chairman of
the senate committee on immigra ton.
Objection was made to its immediate
consideration and 1t went over until

Points Out Advantage

Mayor Schmitz today pointed out to
President Roosevelt and Secretary
Root the advantages that will be
gained by the japanese children If the
oriental schools are maintained, and
expressed a willingness to give the
Japanese equal educational facilities
TO those given the white children Of
San Francisco.
If the japanese government will
agree 70 this proposition the school
board will establish a sufficient num-
Der of oriental school houses to ac-
commodate the japanese and will give
the children Individual instruction
Mayor Schmitz says the japanese
make faster progress in the oriental
schools than they do in the white
schools and that In the mixed schools
the japanese only retard the white
children.
Another conference viii be held at
the White House Friday and in the
meantime President Roosevelt hopes
30 be able to assure Mayor Schmitz
and his assistants that the immigra-
tion bill including the exclusion
amendment, will be passed at this
session Of congress.
