the procedure" he said, is that there
are no briefs submitted in England.
Usually the Judge announces his de-

The Senate is Yet Wrestling With the Question of Dragging Information out of the Unwilling Executive Departments.

Washington, Feb. 3.-The general debate on the agricultural appropria- tion in the house today offered critics and defenders of the department of agriculture an excellent field. Mir. Leever of South Carolina, led off with an attack on the appointment of the board of consulting chemists in the department. Mir. HOflinger of Alabama asked in behalf of the cotton growers a government monthly report on the consumption of cotton. NIT. Sturgis of West Virginia urged an extension of the forest service.
 Mir. Humphrey of Washington took an exactly opposite view, while MT. Mondell, of Wyoming, declared that the bureau of forestry was most the autocratic bureau outside of Russia.
 MT Bartholdt of Missouri declared for inland water ways improvements, and Mir Chandler of Mississippi com plained of the tariff on agricultural implements. Chairman Scott of the agricultural committee closed the de- bate with explanatory remarks on the work done by the department during the last year. Before the bill was talk en up in the general house, the house passed the senate bill for the appoint ment of federal judges.

The Town Turned Out to go

 to Triumph Over Hearst.

Muskogee, Okla, Feb. 3.-The in vestigation by the federal grand jury of alleged frauds in connection with town lots in this city, resulted in sev- eral indictments being returned tonight The charge against the defendants IS conspiracy to defraud the government. Those indicted are: Governor Charles N. Haskell, F. B. Servers. A z. Eng fish. c. w Turner, w. T Hutchings, James w Hill and Walter F. Eaton
 Attorney Thomas H. owen of Mus kogee representing Governor Haskell, made arrangements for the govern or's appearance on Friday morning to give bond in s5000.
 Governor Haskell is at Guthrie, the state capital There is but one in dictment against him, charging him with conspiracy with Walter R. Eaton, and C. Turner to defraud the govern ment.
 There are two indictments against Turner. and one each against the oth- CTS. Turner was the first to give bond in the um of SlO.OOO Hutchings and Eaton followed and gave s50Oo bonds each. They will probably be arraigned before Judge Campbell on Friday. English Is in Los Angeles.
 Walter R Eaton, one of the men in dicted, is the secretary of the Indian ola Contracting company, of which Governor Haskell is president, and which, it is alleged. used the names of many dummies to secure town lots James W.

Was Defeated in Assembly, bq
 Wide Margin AN OPPONENTS ARGUMENT
California Needed Not Only the Capital Which Would Be Driven Out but the California Farmes Needed the Japanese Laborers.

Sacramento, Feb. 3.-After a de- bate extending from II o'clock this morning until pm, the assembly rejected the bill drawn by A. NJ. Drew, barring aliens from ownership of land in California by a vote of 4S to 2S The bill had been amended at the request of President RoOse- welt and Secretary Root so that the clause applying only to Japanese was eliminated, making it apply to all aliens, but the measure aroused such a storm of opposition that long be- fore the debate was closed by Mir. Drew, it was apparent that the measure was defeated.
 In substance the objection was that it would drive at least billion dol lars of foreign capital out of the state and might jeopardize the pres ent friendly commercial relations with Japan.
 When the debate was begun the galleries were crowded. There were no Japanese among the auditors. Assemblyman Drew opened the de- bate. He stated that in his opinion President Roosevelt had done all he could to help solve the Japanese problem, but had been unsuccessful. The federal government, he said, had the unchaIlenged right to exercise the sole power over immigration but California also had the right to pro tect the integrity of her soil He was opposed to foreign absentee land ownership such as caused the adop- tion of the law in Illinois. It was question of self preservation.
 Richard Melrose of Anaheim fol- lowed Drew, speaking against the bill. He took the position that the enactment of such a law would drive out of the state hundreds of millions of dollars of foreign capital Besides he argued, the farmers of California needed other than white labor to harvest their crops. A recess was taken before Melrose concluded and he took the floor again at o'clock
 The committee on federal rela- tions rendered a favorable report on Nathan Cogins' joint resolution call ing upon the national administration for the maintenance in Pacific wat CTS of a fleet powerful enough to defend the western coast against any nation in the far east.
 MT. Drew with the permission oi President Roosevelt, made public to- night the following letter:
 The White House,
 Washington, D. C., Jan. 27. My Dear MT. Drew:
 T thank you for your frank and D manly letter. I enclose you copy of a letter I have just sent to tho governor. Don't you think that vol can reach the goal you are striving for and yet comply with Secretary - Roots opinion? It seems to me yoI can. It would be a pleasure to me to see you here if you were able t come to Washington
 Sincerely yours,
