Chatting about the dramatic story

Before we put Evelyn Nesbit Thaw on the
stand 1 heard her story but once. There was
no rehearsal, attempt at dramatic play The
story. she told ii in the courtroom, was not
half as tragic it was when she told 1t 10 me

Only once in my life have been so touched
with emotion as l was when Evelyn Nesbit Thaw
first told me her story. The other occasion was
the grave of my father, when the last clod
Of earth was thrown on his coffin. AS listened
to the girl wife narrate the story OF what she
had suffered at the hands of Stanford White the
tears welled into my eyes and l fairly sobbed
She told me then that when she awoke and
found Stanford White leaning over her in thai
mrrored bedroom he seemed to her like bis
gorilla. his hair was disheyeled, and the loof
in his face was like that of animal She
added many details which, If told to the jury,
would have preeluded the necessity on our part
of producing further evidence. As had moi

on the Pacific Coast, that this graceful
and timely flourish of the big stick was
merely intended to heal the wound upon
Japanese susceptibility. 1t was a play
to the Mongolian gallery and an or
ganic part of the Roosevelt policy in
furtherance of the treaty, by the terms
of which the Japanese were to exclude
their own coolies.
The impression Is gaining ground
that the President understands the sit
uation better than his stage clustering
would indicate to the uninitiated. In
this regard a well-known writer and
war correspondent who had seen the
Japanese at home said recently that in
all the Eastern States he had not met

students of mature years to attend the
San Francisco primary schools. This

arose over the order of segregation is

Not Addressed
to Mccartney
Alters the-Letter Written
by Wiley to Bell
on Food Bill
CALL. HEADQUARTERS,
1907 EIGHTH STREET

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 1o.-Chief H. w.
Wiley of the United States Department
of Agriculture has not written to Sena-
tor Fl. G.. Mccartney commencing him
for his pure food bill.
The letter from Wiley commencing
the bill, 1t develops. was addressed to
Senator Charles W. Bell.sof Los An
geles, who Is saying things about the
manner in which the Senator from the
City of Angels appropriated 1t to plume
his own political helmet.
The letter from Wiley was addressed
to MY dear Bell" instead of My dear
Mccartney" and is being talked Of as
much as the My dear Maria" letter,
written by one Theodore Roosevelt.
In justice to Mccartney, however, 1t
should be explained that the copy cir
culated had the repressed salutation of
My dear sir.v Mccartney merely
edited Wiley's diction When Wiley
wrote to MY dear Bell" for instance,
that Il am also delighted with section
section A." Mccartney got busy with
his blue pencil and made Wiley declare
he was delighted with your section
8" and with your definitions in Sec
tion A." The personal pronoun was
substituted for the impersonal article
throughout the copy of the letter.
Bell is not piqued because his name
was not mentioned III COuatCllOH Will
the letter by Mccartney. Neither Is
Senator Caminetti of Amador, who was
also referred to in the letter by Wiley.
But Bell does think it peculiar that
Mccartney should distribute revised
copies Of the letter, and interject the
personal equation in Wi1ey's boost for
the bill. Mccartney belongs to the
majority In the Senate, however, and
his ethics are probably as much at vari-
ance with Bell as his politics is

measure TO the committee on banks
and banking. Jury had no idea of the
awful fate to which his pet was being
consigned. He did not realize 1t until
the other day, when he was kindly in
vited to view the remains.
When the bill went into committee
it applied to banks, building and loan
associations and title insurance COM
panies. Two of the committee, Nc
Connell of Woodland and Chairman
Spaulding, who comes from Santa
Clara County, are bankers. They
gently eliminated all reference TO
banks. Another member. Thompson of
insurance business. He slashed out
the restriction on title insurance COM
panies. Still another member, Luding-
ton of San Diego, is in the building
and loan business. He saw TO it that
building and loan companies were not
put to any inconvenience.
Only one member of the committee.
Sammy Beckett of San Francisco, re-
mained to be heard from. What he
would have done to the bill may never
be known. Jury could stand no more.
"I'll just gather up the pieces and
carry the bill away" he said. The next
man might take my name off II"
With the consent of Chairman
Spaulding the bill is to be withdrawn,
and Jury will try his luck with some

BUG MAY LURK IN BILL

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 10.-Reconsid%
Grafton of the bill to dispose of the Los
Angeles Normal School will come. up
in the Senate tomorrow. when the light
in favor of the sale OF the property will
be led by Senator Henry Carter. This
bill has already passed the House.
where 1t was introduced by Jake TragR
sue for his colleague, Phil Stantorfs
who sells real estate when he Is not
engaged in the diversion of making
laws.
The bill provides for the sale Of the
property for $500 900. proposal that
was opposed by former Governor Par
dee in a public message. Improves
ments costing $4,000 have been made
recently TO the property and the
school is said to be In every way ade-
quate for the purpose for which it Is
intended. 1t is located in one Of the
most valuable real estate districts in
Los Angeles. and persons at the capt
tai interested in school affairs of that
city say the property will be worth
$1.000.0 900 within the next three years.
Stanton and others interested in real
estate and in seeing the bill pass pro-
pose to buy property farther out in
Los Angeles and build new normal
school. Corporate interests OF some
kind want the property. but the Los
Angeles legislators. taking programme
in voting for the bill, profess that they
are actuated by the strictest rectitude.
Those opposing the bill say just the
opposite. but they are unable TO fur
nish diagrams of the alleged bug lurlx-
ing in it. They content themselves
with pointing to Phil Stanton and re-
iterating that he is in the real estate
business.

sHIPLoAD OF JAPANESE
Nearly $50 Subjects of the Mikado Ar
rive Here ON the Siberia

Nearly $50 Subjects of the Mikado Ar
rive Here on the Siberia
Another shipload of Japanese laborers
arrived yesterday on the Pacific Mail
steamer Siberia. Packed in the steer
age were 24s subjects of the Mikado, all
but five of whom were landed without
question, and these five were detained
by the quarantine doctors,.yho feared
they are victims of traehoma, the
dread Asiatic eye disease.
No protest was made by the immi-
grafton service against the landing of
the 24S coolies. Nor. In fact. could
any be legally enforced. Long ago the
tricky Japs discovered the secret of
the halfway station by which route
their entrance into America, despite
contract labor laws, became as easy
as a. summer excursion. This shipload,
like its host OF predecessors, came os-
tensibly from Honolulu. The clearest
proof that they came from Honolulu
under contract to work In the States
could not be USED by the immigration
oh1cial5 to prevent their landing. For
this reason Commissioner Hart North
took no steps to prevent the 243 coming
ashore yesterday.
The Quarantine service stopped five
of them, four women and one man, who
probably will be returned to the sun
rise empire under the law which
prohibits the landing OF Orientals suf-
fering from any Ioathsome disease
The 2SS who landed found friends on
the dock. Japanese expressmen car
ried their grips for them, Jap
anese hotel runners guided them
to Japanese lodging houses. To-
day they will be buying their
food from Japanese groceries. their
shoes from Japanese shoemakers and
securing work through Japanese en-
may possibly wonder II they have not
landed in a new colony OF Japan. They
Will have everything to- which they
have become accustonned at home and

CARTER IS UPHELD

Governor of Hawaii's Acts
in Exchanging Lands of
Lanai Meet Approval
PROPERTY is TRADED

The White House. Washington Oct. 10, 1905.
My Dear Governor Carter-Your letters are
most interesting. As regards the small islands
you make it perfectly clear that we must try
to put them under private ownership ana under
the private ownership Of some man rich enough
to take measures which will prevent their be-
ing rendered absolutely uninha bitable by de-
forestation and the drying up OF the water.
do not care "a rap what, the politicians
say about you, still less what they say about
your course. You are doing all right and you
can be certain Of my unqualified support Sin
cerely yours, THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
Hon. Geo. R. Carter, Governor of Hawaii,
Honolulu, Hawaii -
HONOLULU, Feb 4-The foregoing
letter was made public by Governor
Carter after the Supreme Court of the
Territory had rendered an opinion sus-
tanning the executive right to exchange
the 47,76S acres of the island Of Lanai
for other property. Opposition to the
exchange was made by former Senator
l. L. McCandless, who had previously
opposed the administration In matters
OF public policy, and in this instance
claimed to represent the citizens of the
Territory. Months ago Governor Carter
submitted the whole project to the
President, receiving his approval and
Endorsement as given in the foregoing
letter
Within six hours of the time the
decision had been handed down by the
court the Governor had completed the
transaction, securing city and suburban
property assessed at S114000 for the
Lanai lands valued at 100000. Much
Of the island is absolutely useless for
pastoral or agricultural purposes and
the soil in parts is being blown to sea,
leaving nothing but bare rocks which
would ultimately leave the place in the
same condition as Kahoolawe. which is
now a desolate island of rocks. Nc
Candless had never visited the place,
but made fight ION behalf of the
citizens"
On July next 172,7so acres of Gov
ernment land on the island of Hawaii,
now under lease to the Hawaiian Agri
cultural Company, will revert to the
Government. This is the second largest
tract owned by the Territory and it
has been under lease at nominal
rental for long term of years. There
are 1000 acres Of forest land, 743 acres
cane and $4,000 acres grazing, the re-
mainder being lava flows.

URGE INCREASED SALARIES
State Hospital Superintendents Say
Employees Are Underpafd

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 10.-Superin-
tendents of the various State hospitals
are gathering here for a conference to-
morrow with Governor Gillett and In
f1uential members of the ways and
means committee and the Senate finance
committee. The object of the meeting
is to discuss the proposed appropria-
tions for the several institutions. One
of the arguments to be presented Is
that more money for salaries is an
absolute necessity. At present the
wages of employees run from s45 to
$55. This is not enough to keep the
class of men needed.
Complaint is made that good men
work a while, find that the pay is not
enough for men with families, and seek
other employment. Constant changes
initiate against good service and the
superintendents responsible for the
conduct of the hospitals agree that the
conditions not only demand. but justify.
more salary than is now paid to en-
ployes. This, they say, applies not only
to tinsmiths, carpenters and other
skilled artisans, but to the general run
of attendants.

published statements that her brother.
John Barrymore, subpenaed as a wit
ness in the Thaw trial. had been at
tempting to hide from Mr.. Jerome's de-

sanity in the Barrymore family, had so

day to rehearse for matinee perform

were to put on on Thursday. The
house was sold out and Mr.. Jerome
was good enough to allow Jack TO
come.
But on the way he was stricken with
a chill, and when I met him at the sta
tion he was very i'll indeed. We had to
call off the matinee and / Immediately
