REFUSES TO CONCUR IN
ASSEMBLY AMENDMENTS
If Lower House Remains Firm, Ques-
ton of Federal Steamship Line
Will Go to Conference

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 25.-The upper
house refused to reconsider the vote by
which it refused yesterday to concur
in the assembly amendments to the
joint resolution by Senator ]. B. San
ford asking congress to establish a line
of steamers between Pacific coast
points and Panama. The assembly
amendments would have eliminated en-
tirely the federal steamship feature.
The senate will notify the assembly
of its refusal to concur and a confer
ence committee will be appointed to
settle the matter if the lower house
declines to recede from it's position.
Several senators expressed surprise
on the floor this afternoon when the
Asiatic immigration question was
raised again. The debate was on a
referred to the committee on federal
relations.
The former was drawn by Chairman
Lester G. Burnett and declared the up
per branch of the legislature to be in
favor of an act Of congress excluding
all Asiatics from this country as we'll
as the Chinese.
Senators Edward 1. Wolfe of San
Francisco, Henry M. Willis Of San
Bernardino, Louis H. Roseberry of
Santa Barbara and John B. Stetson Of
and E. o. Miller of Visalia and Senator
Burnett of San Francisco for it.
Senator Roseberry said the resolu-
ton was entirely unnecessary and un-
celled for, as everybody understood the
federal authorities were looking out for
the interests of California in the mat
ter of immigration.
Senator Stetson said he had believed
all such agitation had been disposed of
several weeks ago.
Senators Miller and Burnett argued
that no possible harm could be done by
the measure and that the people Of the
state had a right to express their opin-
ion in this form upon any subject they
chose.
The vote adopting the resolution was
% to Z.
Senator Marshall Blacks constitu-
tional amendment providing for the ini-
tiative system of legislation was favor
ably reported to the senate by the
judiciary committee.

NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-Mrs. Clarence
Mackay and other society women of
this city who are strong advocates for
the cause of woman suffrage and who
are doing their utmost to advance the
opportunity for women voting were
loud in their denunciation of the plac-

Premier Asquith, to whom they wished
to present petition in the interests of

taken by the courts in London, al
though she expressed her surprise at
refined women like the ones under ar

WHOLE AIMED AT
PANAMA RAILROAD SCHEME is
TURNED DOWN
Assembly Amends Change of Venue
Bill So Judges May Not Reassign
Cases in Which They Are
Disqualified
Especial to The Herald.l


G ACRAMENTO, Feb. 25-The legis-
lature discussed many important
~ matters today, including the Jap
anese question, the establishment of
federal line of steamers between Cali
fornia points and Panama, and the
special pleading act
= The senate adopted a committee sub
stitute for four resolutions calling on
congress for relief from Asiatic imms-
grafton (not specifically that of Jap
anese).
The senate also refused again to con-
cur in the opinion of the assembly that
the government should not establish
a line of vessels to connect with the
Panama railroad, and .the steamers
owned by the United Sttaes on the At
lantic for the purpose of checking in
creases in transcontinental freight
rates.
The original resolution was drawn
by Senator J. B. Sanford and passed
some time ago by the senate, but when
it reached the lower house it was
amended so that all reference to the
request for government ownership of
freighters on the Pacific was eliminated
Yesterday the senate refused to con-
cur in the amendments and declined to-
day to change its mind when a motion
for reconsideration was made.
A conference committee will be ap-
pointed to thrash out the problem
In the assembly the important de-
bate was on passage Of a bill already
Endorsed by the senate changing the
code regulating verdicts by leaving it
discretionary with the jury whether or
not they shall render special or general
verdicts.
Grove L. Johnson's change of venue
bill was amended so that judges may
not reassign causes in which they are
disqualified. If there is more than one
superioS judge in a county, another
may assign the case, but where there
is but one, the power is vested, under
the amended bill, in the governor.

BIG FINE IMPOSED
ON STANDARD OIL
IS CUT TO $72O, 900
Judge Anderson Scales Down Famous
$29,ooo,ooo to Small Amount
on RetriaI for Alleged
Relating

CHICAGO, Feb. 25.-From Judge
Landis' fine of s29.24O,OOO to a possible
maximum fine of $72O,OOO is admitted to
be the meaning of a rule made today
by Judge Anderson in the retrial Of
the Standard Oil company of Indiana
for alleged rebating.
The ruling was informal, but it al
most certainly will stand.
The court of appeals in ruling out
Judge Landis' great fine eliminated the
view that each carload of oil on which
a rebate was accepted constituted 4
separate offense. There were 1852 .of
these carlots, the freight charges for
which were paid for in thirty-six differ
ent settlements.
Judge Anderson interpreted the de-
cision, which he said served as his
guide, to imply that the alleged re-
bates accepted after each of the thirty
six settlements constituted the units
of offense.
Judge Anderson's ruling was a Sc
we're blow to District Attorney Sims.
He and his assistant, James H. Will
kerson, had argued that each of the
500 shipments, making possible maxi
mum of $1O,000,0O0, constituted an Of
fenSe.

DETECTIVES ARE BAFFLED
OVER THEFT OF NECKLACE
Officers Search in Vain for CkeW to
Robbery of Pearls at Bay
City Hotel

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 25.-Al-
though every effort has been made by
the detectives employed in the case, no
cleW has been obtained to the manner
in which the $4,000 pearl necklace be-
longing to Miss Jennie Crocker disap-
peared from her throat at the Mardi
Gras ball on Tuesday night.
An active investigation is being con-
Quoted in all directions likely to throw
any light on the mystery, but thus far
it has been without result.
In discussing the matter today Miss
Crocker had nothing to add to her pre-
vious account of the disappearance of
the Jewels, which were not missed un-
til she prepared to retire about o'clock
yesterday morning. The most diligent
search has failed to find them about
the Hotel ST. Francis, where the ball
was given, and suspicion of having
stolen them does not attach to any per-
son present.
For the present, at least, the detect
ives confess themselves baffed.

NT ASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-The JAP.
Wv anese question was the subject
Of brief consideration in the
house today during the consideration
Of the sundry civil bill
Representative Hayes of California
declared that the people of California
would not only exclude the Chinese
from the soil Of their state, but also
the Japanese and "all other orientaIs
in the category"
''The race problem in California has
not reached a state of mob violence"
said Mr.. Hayes, ''but it must come.
When men are hungry, 1 look for trou--
BILE.
There are $4,000 white men idle in
San Francisco, and yet in my district
there are 10000 Japanese, and nearly
all of them are employed. believe
I represent the view of 95 per cent of
the people of California in asking that
congress protect us from this menace
and aid in preserving the lands of the
Pacific coast for the Caucasian race.
There is an immediate and pressing
necessity to stop the influx Of
orientals"
Mr.. Hayes remarks were greeted
with applause by the Democrats.
Representative Champ Clark of Mis-
souri, expressed his approval of the ex-
clusiOn of the Japanese and Chinese,
which, he said, was advocated not only
by organized labor, but by all labor.
Lauds caucasians
Il have been a laboring man all nv
life, said Mr. Clark. Il started out
as laborer on a farm and I am
against this immigration. The Cau-
cas1an race has always been the domi-
nant race, is now, and will be, as long
as there are any of us left"
While superior to the oriental races,
Mr.. Clark said, the Caucasian race
could not compete with the Chinese
in the matter of starvation
If you let them in," he continued,
you would starve out our labor. 1t
is currently reported that there are
one million American laborers out Of
employment
Mr. Clark added that he had had
high regard for President-elect Taft
since the first time he met him, when
Mr.. Taft appeared before the house
committee on foreign affairs in advo-
cacy of exclusion of the Chinese from
the Philippines.
Representative Harrison of New
York, speaking in favor of exclusion,
said he would vote for Japanese ex-
clusiOn if ne continued as a member
of the foreign affairs committee.
Representative Hepburn of Iowa de-
clared the servant problem in this
country would be solved by the admis-
sion of Orientals alleging that 100000
orientals for domestic servants would
not displace the American servant.

partial report of the conference of the
naval appropriation bill was made to-

navy on the Pacific and the amend
ment fixing the price that may be

Women Can't Get General De-

Sumed Names.
WILL ENFORCE OLD LAW

Married women who apply at the
general delivery windows of the post
office today and every day hereafter
for mail which has been sent to them
under assumed names will be disap-
pointed. According to an order issu-
ed by Post Office Inspector William T.
Fletcher the law which compels per-
sons to have their mail sent to them
in their own names will be enforced
in Indiana. in view of breaking up the
practice employed by few married
women to receive mail from persons
to whom their husbands would object
if they knew. The post office officials
report that the general delivery SER
vice Is being abused.
when a woman has a home ad-
dress her mail must be sent to that
place." said Mr.. Fletcher, "for this
practice, which married women have
of receiving their mail at the general
delivery window, addressed to names
which the clerks know are not their
own. must be broken up"
The law which Post Office Inspector
Fletcher insists in having r1gidly en-
forced has been. dormant for many
years. The local general delivery
clerks say that often women will ask
for their mail under their right names
and other mail under their assumed
names.

In 1Gvcrai pl.ees II lew jersey.
and, As a matter OF fact, there are
about 1O.OC0 men and $500 women
who are still out Of employment be-
cause of the efforts Of the employers
in the hat industry to endeavor to dis
rupt this splendid organization.
The men and women who are en-
gagged In this difficulty are standing
firmly together to maintain their
rights, but they are sadly in need of
funds TO carry en- their struggle. There
is no more appropriate time to render
them valuS bic financial assistance than
on Labor day
While the sums that are being con
and increased. it is recommended that
committees be appointed in every cen
trail labor body to collect from our
members and friends on Labor day
such sums as it may be the desire OF
the friends OF labor to contribute t.
this worthy cause.
There is one other matter to which
the attention OF our members anG
friends should be called. and that is
that an effort Is now being made to
try and disrupt another organization of
labor that has done much to improve
the conditions Of its members.
A few disgruntled and suspended
and expelled members OF the American
Federation Of Musicians are endeavor
ing to form dual organization Of that
craft. No doubt they will endeavor t.
try to delude the members of organ
lied labor into believing that they are
a legitimate body and endeavor to OBJ.
tain engagements from them for Labor
day and if successful in doing so will
then say to the world that they have
been recognized as such. from the fact
that they took part in the demonstra
tons of labor in various sections OF
the country. Committees who have
charge Of making the arrangements
particularly Of music. should see to il
that the bands engaged are composed
Of men who are members in good
standing in the American Federation
Of Musicians, the only musicians or
ganization that is recognized by the
A. F. of L. 1t is better that men and
women Of labor, in taking part in the
Labor day demonstrations, have NJ
music at all-yes, even no parade
rather than engage nonunion men wht
are being used to attempt to destroy
the legitimate organization Of must
clans, which has accomplished 81
much for its members and against tht
terrific opposition Of hostile forces.
