dent Of the United States was Tuesday
fixed at 100000 per annum, so far as
the senate could fix il, and salaries Of
the yiee-president and the speaker Of

each.
The salary of the chief justice Of the
supreme court Of the United States was
increased from $4,000 90 $4,000 per
annum, and those Of associate justices
from $4,000 to 1880. These changes

stated that the executive committee had
accepted the action Of the senate IN fix
ing the salary Of the speaker at $4,000
as significant of its desire TO give sim
liar salary to the vicepresident, but they
did not take the view that the commit
tees contention favoring a salary Of
$4,000 for the president was affected
by IL.

NO ANTl-JAP LAWS TO PASS
California Will Respect Wishes of
the Government

Sacramento, Cal-According to a
statement by Gov. Gillett, there will be
no legislation against the japanese at
this session OF the legislature. The gov
ernor authorized the following;
AFTER comforting with the leading
members Of both branches of the legis-
lature, | am convinced that no legisla-
tion directed against the japanese will
be enacted. am satisfied that the peo-
pie of California, and particularly the
members of our legislature, appreciate
the efforts being made by the federal
government and the representatives Of
Japan to stop immigration to this eoun-
try of Japanese laborers, skilled aud UNI
skilled.
There can be no doubt that the Jap
anese government is acting absolutely in
good faith, in its endeavor TO prevent its
people emigrating to our country, and in
my judgment it would be a serious mis-
take while they are so doing TO enact any
laws directed against the Japanese"

TAFT DISLIKEs REFEREE PLAN
shake-Up Of Presidential Appointees
Is Likely.

Augusta, Ga.-President-elec Taft has
decided TO discontinue in his admins.
tration the referee system of distribut.
ing federal patronage in the South.
This step in his efforts to spread Re.
pubhcanism in the Southern States has
been presaged by his speeches since he
came to Augusta. aud now the men who
have talked with him on the subject
say his mind is fully made up.
Under the operation OF the referee sys-
TEN two or three men in each State
have constituted themselves a committee
to decide who should get the federal APP
pointments in their commonwealth.
Owing to the political remoteness of the
South the government at Washington
has been accustomed TO take these mems
recommendations as final and conclusive
and TO make the appointments accord
ing TO their recommendations.
What agency Mr. Taft will use to
take the place of the referees cannot be
stated at this time.

Washington.-"We have not asked and

our friends will not urge us to pursue
such a course. Loving liberty as free
men do--as we dot cannot be difficult
TO appreciate what Incarceration in a
prison would mean to us. To ask par

endured that the rights and liberties of

gives out the news that his father had
given another 81 900 900 to the Univer-
sity of Chicago, which he founded with
q contribution of 100000 in 1891.

This hour of a crisis in our affairs with

Japan is not named in this report of
the general staff, which primarily has
10 do with the defenses of San Pedro
harbor. The omission OF the names
makes what follows all the more sin
lister. Ii illustrates anew the extreme
delicacy of the situation. Says this re-
port-and the point which it makes of
the absence of effective naval opposition
is not to be overlooked:
Recent study discloses the fact that,
assuming there was no effective naval
opposition, a certain Orietnal power
could within a month of the time its
hostile intentions began to be even
strongly suspected "a formal declaration
of war would no doubt come later, a
good deal later land on our coast an
expedition of an estimated maximum of
about 100000 men, and that such
force could be augmented by the end of
two months to total of possibly 3Oo,-
600. The ease with which San Pedro
harbor, unfortified, and through it the
entire Los Angeles country, could be
seized is apparent"
