SALOONKEEPER Is
FOR STR|CTEST
REGULATION
AID. GARVEY WOULD REVOKE IL
CENSE OF LAW-BREAkERS,
THEREBY, HE SAYS, ELEVATiNG
LiQUOR-SELlING BUSINESS.

Aid. John c. Garvey. OF the Six
teenth ward. although the proprietor
of two saloons, believes in legislation
which will tend TO drive the law-break-
ing element out OF the hquor-selling
business, and TO remove the faint from
that business thereby He is inclined
10 favor the proposed Watson ordin-
ance, by which the council could re-
woke the license OF any saloonist con
victed OF law-violation.
There should be legislation which
would enable the city to take away
the license OF men who run their
places In disorderly manner" says
Garvey. Such measure would be
OF benefit to the honest and respect
able men engaged legitimately in the
saloon business, and would bring that
business up TO a level with others.
Although have not considered the
new Watson ordinance In detail,i
think that IL has good points. Men
go into the saloon business now who
could not make living in other lines
and they adopt methods TO get alonc
that bring odium on others. We must
have some way TO discourage such
practices by giving the city the power
TO withhold licenses.
THE man who persistently refuses
To close his place at the proper hour
or who harbors girls would have TO go.
mo man need fear that he would
be treated unfairly. IL would first be
necessary that a case be made agains'
him in court on which he could be
convicted. and then he would have
mis- hearing before the council commit
tee and could appeal TO the council.
Everyone would get fair hearing and
the result OF this power to revocation
would be to raise the standard of the
business"
Aid. Garvey has himself introduced
an ordinance TO bar the entry OF
minors into saloons for the purpose OF
selling gum or other small merchan.
disc, providing a penalty for the sa-
loonkeeper who allows children in his
place. He is member of the liquor
regulation committee.

CALHOUN TRIAL HANGS
 0H MIR. HENEYS HEALTH
Itfs thought the Prosecutor Will Be Able To Appear in Court Today.

San Francisco. Feb. 10.-The trial of Patrick Calhoun will be resumed to- morrow unless Assistant District At torney Heney is prevented by illness from attending the session, and both sides will 1nterpose their first install ment of peremptory challenges, where by the twelve men now in the jury box will be reduced in number.
 Heneys absence from today's pro ceedings and the consequent postpone ment of challenges was attributed to nothing more alarming than a severe cold His associates confidently expect him to resume his duties tomorrow and it is probable that the day will dispose of the tenth special venire of which nineteen talesmen were retain ed
 Considerable interest is attached to a statement by Judge Lawlor wherein he made known his opinion in regard to Heney's state of health, imparted to the court by. one of the prosecutors physicians. The doctor according to the judge entertained a fear that Hen ey is still suffering from nervousness resulting from the shock he sustained when he was shot down in the court room last November.

The commission is to con- sist of three senators, three represen- tatives, three rear admirals and three eminent civilians, to be appointed by by the president.

PACIFIC COAST CRITICIZED

New York, Feb. 10-The board of trade and transportation met today
 and considered the Japanese ques- ton.
 After a warm debate in which much opposition was expressed by
 Thomas Nixon, a ship builder and others, a resolution was adopted
 which declared that while realizing that the automonomy of every state should be zealously guarded, appeals should be made to the merchants and manufacturers of other states
 to cooperate with them in impress sing upon the citizens of the Pacific coast the unwisdom of attemption to nulify by state action a treaty en- tered into between the United States and Japan whose people have prov
 ed themselves to be an independent
 factor in the worlds work, and whose
 trade is of great value to this coun-
 try"

THE STORM
 HAS PASSED The Defeat Of the Last Anti:
 Japanese Bills 4 REVERSAL IF STRENGTH
In the Assembly of the Cali fornia Legislature--T h e President Believes That all Danger of a Break With Japan Has Ended.

Sacramento, Feb. 10-President Roosevelt and Governor Gillett gain ed their point in the anti-Japanese controversy this afternon. The mo- tion of MT. Leeds to reconsider the vote by which the assembly passed the bill segregating the Japanese in the schools was carried by a vote of 43 to 34. The roll call on the final passage or rejection of the measure resulted: Noes, 41; ayes. S2, showing a defectiOn of 13 mem bers from the ranks of the anti Japanese side.
 Grove l.. Johnson os Sacramento then called up his motion for a re- consideration of the vote by which the general anti-alien segregation bill was refused passage rle vote on that had been SS to :S and the mo the same vote.
 This disposes of all the assembly bills objected to by President Roose- welt in numerous telegrams and let ters to the governor, although the school bill is still intact in the sen ate. it having been introduced there by Senator Caminetti. Senator An thony's resolution, introduced this morning, upholding Senator Geo. c. Perkins position on the Japanese legislation. is in the hands of the judiciary committee, to which it was referred after a brief explanation by the author.
 The debate in the assembly on the Johnson bills began at 1O:3O and was concluded a few minutes be- fore four o'clock.

TAFT AND SHERMAN
 DECLARED ELECTED
Enthusiastic Partisans Cheered the Electoral Count to the Violation of Good Order.

Washington, Feb. 10.-With simple, but impressive ceremony, the count ing of the electoral votes for presi- dent and vice president occurred at the joint session of the senate and house, held in the chamber of the lower body, today. William H. Taft, of Ohio, and James S. Sherman of New York, were officially declared to be the choice of the people for the term of four years, beginning March 4, next
 The count consumed exactly forty minutes. Vice president Fairbanks, who presided, announced that ap- plause would not be permitted. This over mention of the uame of W. J. Bryan in connection with the vote of Alabama, the first state called.
 The Taft adherents, nevertheless, disregarded the admonition and lib- erally applauded the first mention of his name when the California vote was announced.

GOVERNOR eRATIFTED.

Sacramento, Feb. 10-In an inter view tonight Governor GiIlett said: of course I am highly pleased with the action of the assembly this af- ternoon We shall proceed now with the measure introduced by Speaker Stanton appropriating s10,000 to be turnd over to the state labor com missioner to take a census of the Japanese in California. We wish to gather all the data possible with the view of asking congress at it's next session, if the necessity is found to be urgent for an Asiatic exclusion act.
 "The east has been deeply con- cerned in the measures pending here and I feared that if anti-Japanese legislation were pressed at this time it would have a disastrous effect Under the agreement between Japan and our government, the former is pledged to restrict immigration as much as possible.
 If Japan had grounds for abrogat- ing this arrangement and decided in view of unfriendly acts on the part of the California legislature to re- move these restrictions upon the emigration Of her people, all our ports would be open to the latter If then we went before congress and asked the east for support for gen. eral Asiatic exclusion law, the latter might advance the adverse argu- ment that we had the situation well in hand at one time. through fed eral negotiations, and lost our ad- vantage by the acts of our legisla- ture against the wishes of the presi- dent and secretary of state"

NIxoN's sYMPATHIEs.
He's With the Coast But the Time
 Is Not Ripe.

Reno, Feb. 10.-Declaring that he agrees with California's anti-Japanese sentiment on the question of segre- gation in schools, and that the state had a right to enact legislation en- abling the trustees to provide for seg- regation, Senator Nixon has sent an interview to the Reno Gazette from Washington.
 He says in part: "No doubt the sentiment in Nevada is almost unan- imous in excluding the Japanese from our commonwealth because, as is well known, they have in no manner as- sisted in developing our industries but, on the other hand, every dollar earned by them finds it's way to the coffers of their native land
 T agree,'' continued the senator, with the Pacific coast on the entire subject and particularly with the people of California on the question of segregated schools. No one fa- miliar with the actual conditions in the western states and our experience with Chinese and Japanese. and who is able to appreciate the fact that it is utterly impossible for the white
 
 admit that it is proper or advisable for a Japanese adult to be housed in the same school room with girls and boys of our own race, and the state, in my opinion. has the power to enact legislation enabling school trustees to provide for segregation-%
 The senator further stated that the president had informed him that cer- tain matters were under considera ton by the department of state and himself and the Japanese government at the present time which. if brought to a successful conclusion, would eliminate the cause for complaint and that radical action at this time by the several states would hamper and render more difficult the attainment of the desired result, and he added that his appreciation of the possi- bility of embarrassing the federal government in these negotiations prompted his telegram to the legis lature few days ago.
