New York. Jan. 22.-Mrs. Francis
+. Pierce. the first witness called in
the Thaw tase today. Identified the
signature of Thaw attached to the
will which was made the evening OF
his marriage to Evelyn Nesbit,
Jerome objected to the witness Civ
ing this testimony and insisted she
should swear that the document was
in the same condition and that it
read the same as on the night it was
signed. Anthony Comstock has been
sworn as a witness for the defense.
Justice Bowling ruled that the
codicil of the will should be admitted
as evidence and the defense offered
the will in evidence and then called
Anthony Comstock.
Comstock testified, "Thaw told me
prominent New Yorker had acquir-
ed the habit of running young girls"
He identified the letters sent to him
by Thaw.
Comstock's testimony was in rela-
tion to Thaw's declarations that there
was band of rich men in New York
who lured young girls to the den"
on Twenty Fourth street. Comstock
said he was unable to get evidence
against these men.

JAP IMMIGRATION FALLS OFF.
4. S. official Satisfied Toxic Is Car
ryfng Out Agreement.

Washington. Jan. 22.-Japanese
immigration 10 America Is decreas-
ing. According to off cial reports re-
ceived by the immigration bureau the
falling off for December, 1907, was
2234 as compared with December,
1906. This is regarded by the immi-
grafton authorities as proving that
the immigration restrictions placed
upon the japanese last spring are
proving effective.
While the immigration OF Japanese
during the last eight or nine months
has shown an increase over the cor
responding period Of last year, 1t is
believed by the immigration officials
that the tide Of immigration of Jap
anese to this country has been check
ed. No doubt is expressed by Off
cials of the department of commerce
and labor that the government is
using every possible means within its
power to prevent the coming to this
country of japanese laborers and
coolies.

Hendricks. co-defendant Of John
Hall and Edwin P. Mays, w. W. Stei-
wer and others in the land fraud
cases. came into court this morning
and reversing his former plea, plead
guilty to the charge against him.
At the same time C. B. Zachary,
another co-defendant, was in the cor
ridor of the building awaiting an op-
portunity to make the same plea, but
was not called and therefore did not
take this action.
1t is said that Steiwer will take
this same course, and all Of the three
defendants will then take the stand
and testify as to their alleged con-
spiracy to fence the public lands and
their relations with John Hall and
Edwin P. Mays.
This action has been frequently
predicted. Rumors that Heney would

Toxic, Jan. -22.-Present indications
are that the government will be sus-

in the japanese parliament on the
motion by the progressives expressing
a lack of confidence I'm the cabinet.
The position of the government
however, is precarious. Hayashi's
speech yesterday outlining the posi-

TO restricted American immigration
has been sullenly received by the
people and the distressed financial
condition of the country, which will
almost certainly necessltate a call
for increased taxation in the budget,
is laid TO the people.
The progressive element is excit-

and the practical embargo on immi-
grafton into Mexico has placed Japan

SUSPECTS IN POSTOFF|CE CASE ARRESTED

Three men suspected of completely
in the attempted robbery of the post
office are now under arrest here. Who
the men are the officers refuse to
say, but it is understood they are
transients and were arrested yester-
day in the belief that they were con-
nected with the attempted burglary.
Following their policy of yesterday
the officers refuse to discuss their
clues and If they have any inkling as
to the identity of the postoffice
cracksmen they are very successful
in keeping 1t to themselves.
According to Sheriff Taylor the
catching of the would-be robbers
will be difficult matter because the
officers have absolutely no clue to
work upon. AS the cracksmen took
nothing from the postoffice, they
cannot be caught with goods upon
them, and there is nothing whatever
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-01-22

to fix the identity of the men. This
being the case, all the sheriff and po-
lice can do is to watch closely for
some development that will throw
the blame upon some one.
Since the discovery of the robber-

bers.

A special from Denver says:
BY vote of 17S to 116, the annual
convention of the Colorado Horse &
Cattle Growers association went on
record late last night as opposed to
the federal administrations policy OF
public land control, and will carry
the fight against any land leasing
system before the National Live Stock

day.
As the executive committee of the
national association approved the re-
port of the forest reserves and graz
ing land committee, which declares in
favor Of the Burkett bill for govern
ment control of grazing lands, a warm
contest over the question is assured
when the report is presented to the
national convention tomorrow.
