The president expressed the opinion
that congress, had no authority TO grant

of the power of congress.
Senator Raynor Immediately wrote q

the substitution of peaceful agricul-
turists from southern Europe for Chi

uaHy settle one of the great problems
of California.
with the completion of the Panama
canal the tide of immigration that now
sweeps into New York city will be
partly diverted to the Pacific coast. and
desirable farmers will be landed on
these shores in large numbers.
LAS long resident of this state I
realize that the employment of Asiatics
has caused serious complications. be-
lieve the whole question can be settled
amicably and surely by the introduce
tion of Italians and others of the Latin
races who take kindly to agricultural
pursuits.
Fruit growers and other employers
of labor assure me they will employ
white men In preference to Japanese
and Chinese if they can be obtained.
The establishment of immigration bu-
reaus in some of our large cities would
aid in placing many immigrants on the

SEEKS DEATH WHEN

Poison
Chief Engineer of New Palace
Hotel FierceIy Fights His
Rescuers
Despondent be

Despondent because he had been re-
pulsed by the wife of his friend,
Thomas Walsh. aged 2s years, chief en-
g!neer at the New Palace hotel, made a
desperate attempt TO end his own exis-
tence last night at Eddy and Webster
streets in the presence of Mrs. Eva
Misner of 1102 Fillmore street, the
woman who had spurned his love, and
the latter's husband, A. d. Misner, by
drinking carbolic acid.
Frightened by a remark made by
Walsh. Mrs. Misner attempted to grab
the vial containing the deadly poison
from Walsh in time. to prevent his
carrying out his suicidal plans. In the
struggle which followed the woman
was severely burned on the hands. But
her act probably saved the mans life.
as he was rushed to the central emer-
gency hospital Immediately and the
poison pumped from his stomach. He
now has a chance of recovery.
In the fight which followed Walsh S
rash act the womans piercing screams
brought several policemen to the scene,
as we'll as pedestrians. Walsh become
enraged. struck out wildly and his
battered hands bear testimony of his
desperation, while the men who sought
to restrain him likewise bear marks of
the mans violence.
AS a close friend of the family Walsh
has resided at the home of the Mis-
ners for the past FIVE months Three
weeks ago,NMrs Misner says. he pro-
posed an elopement to her. But the
woman was loyal to her husband and
an account of the friendship that ex-
listed between them tolerated Walsh,
according TO herself.
Nevertheless, she did not keep her
husband in ignorance, and when he
proposed the elopement three weeks
ago it was generally agreed that 1t
was for the best of all concerned that
Walsh find a home elsewhere. Suisse
quently the engineer took up his resi-
dence at 642 Golden Gate avenue. but
kept up his visits to the Misner home.
Last night he qailed there. and was
a guest at dinne8. Immediately after
completion of the meal Walsh proposed
a short walk, at the same time handing
Mrs. Misner a note secretly. She failed
to open this. but placed it in her
pocket. At the corner of Eddy street
and Webster the trio was engaged in
looking at jewelry on display in a
window. Suddenly Walsh called out,
We'll I'll bid you good bye" and
placed the vial of poison to his lips.
The note which was later opened, read:
Dear Eva-I am almost crazy for
love of YOU 1t is too bad that things
should be as they are. l have tried
to make myself believe / didn't love
you, but have tried in vain. Life with
out you is not worth living and 1 am
going to end il all tonight.-Tom."
