1t is. however, perfectly clear that under the
constitution only the national Government can
settle the question OF exclusion, and such vote
of California as is proposed would have to be
ably be regarded by those opposed to exclusion
as a threat to ignore the constitutional power
of the United States and exclude Japanese in
defiance of their treaty rights to come in

Referring to the Japanese question
on the Pacific Coast, President Butler
said:

the difficulty. OF course. San Francisco people

WASHINGTON JUST HEARS
OF De HAVEN DECISION
Court Ruling Announced in
October Not Included

GOVERNMENT UPHELD
Grazing Without Permit on
Forest Reservations a
Criminal Offense
GOVERNMENT UPHELD
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE GALL


WASHINGTON, March 12-word has
just been received by the forestry ser
vice of an important decision made by
Judge de Haven Of the Northern Dis
trict of California last October, uphold
ing the constitutionality of the act
under which grazing without permit on
forest reservations was held to be
criminal oftense- For some reason this
decision was not covered in the law re-
ports, so the forestry service and the
Department of Justice have been acting
during the winter in ignorance of the
fact that another advance had been
made toward solving a much disputed
problem
The decision by Judge de Haven
overruled one to the contrary which he
himself had made previously. He was
led to take this action in view of the
decision of the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals in San Francisco in
1903, in the case of Dastervignis
against the United States, in which that
court affirmed a decision granting an
injunction to prevent unpermitted graz
ing The act passed by Congress at its
last session. providing for an appeal
by the Government in certain instances,
will make il possible to get decision
from the Supreme Court of the United
States on a test case at an early date,
thus insuring Naturalization of this
vexed question.
Judge de Haven's last decision adds
weight to the authority in support of
the contention of the Government that
criminal prosecutions as well as civil
suits may be brought against those
who Craze stock on the national forest
reservations in violation of the regula-

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

WASHINGTON. March 12-That the

claimed by discharged negro soldiers,
and that it is possible for soldiers to
obtain extra ammunition, was brought
out in the Brownsville inquiry today.
before the Senate committee on mill
tary affairs. This testimony was given
by Captain D. W. Kilburn of the Twen-
ty-sixth Infantry, which regiment pre-
ceded the negro soldiers of the Twen-
ty-hfth Infantry at Fort Brown.
The same witness asserted that citi-
zens of Brownsville made threats that
they would run the negro troops out OF
town if they were brought there to
supplant white troops, and on this
point he was corrobOrated by Lieuten-

Ruef had time yesterday for an ex-
change OF the compliments of the day

the incarcerated boss the freedom of
the city, however. Ach interrupted the

That motion being granted, Ach
made a blanket objectioni to every
thing that the court would do, and de-
sired to have 1t stipulated that such a
sweeping and continuous objection
should apply to all proceedings in the
future. The motion was made on the
ground that the court had no juris-
diction over Ruefs case by virtue of
the reputed writ of error granted by
Judge Hebbard and on the further
ground that the court was prejudiced.
This omnibus objection was to cover
every ruling the court would make.

informed that he had. the attorney
moved the elisor be discharged, his
duty having been accomplished"
Heney demanded that the prisoner be
kept in the custody of the elisor, and
Dunno ruled that Ruef should remain
with his special wardens. The Judge
also announced that the surety COM
pany that had supplied bail for the de-
fendant had been exonerated when he
surrendered TO the Sheriff before Judge
Hebbard acted.
Ach asked for a new bail order.
The Supreme Court of the State has
ruled" answered Heney, that it is the
best practice to remand the prisoner to
jail at the beginning OF his trial
Ruef. who was standing by Ach,
leaned over the attorneys table anx-
iously to catch the courts ruling.
That has always been the practice
in this department" said the Judge,
''and the events of last week indicate
that it would be the best procedure in
this case"
1t was arranged with the court on
the suggestion of Aeh. that more ac-
commodations IN the courtroom
should be provided for the counsel.
EVEN CERT EXCLUDED
Then Ruef was taken back to his
prison at the ST. Francis and guards
thrown about him to prevent all but
authorized persons from talking with
him. Even MYRTLE Cert. VINO went into
exile with the, boss, fought grand jur-
ors and challenged district attorneys
TO duels, in his loyalty to Ruef. was
not permitted to confer with the man
behind the barrier Of detectives. Cert
loitered along the landscape, a pathetic
shadow OF what was once a hustling
young agent of q boss.
The Supreme Courts of the State and
nation are the two tribunals in which
Ruef is most interested now When the
United States court may act is prob
lematical, but the State court will
make a speedy return on the Ruef ap-
plication as soon as the justices meet.
So far, Ruef is only before the court
on an application for a writ. If the
application is recognized hearing will
be given before the matter is finally
disposed of. While the points set
forth by Ruef are similar to those of
Schmitz, there will be no delay in the
decision in the former case. Ruef's at
