the passage of a measure introduced
by Assemblyman Callan requiring that
spools Of cotton, linen and silk be

which he could not substantiate
In its present form the bill is not
operative until next October

declared Wheelan, who happened to
be IN his seat when the Callan measure
was called up for final passage.

judiciary committee?" inquired John

The Ukfah senator asks the assessors
to assist him in putting on the tax

MENTo, March s.-There may be oc-
casional outbreaks on the part OF indi-
vidual members regarding anti-Japan-
csc legislation, but it is certain that
none will be enacted. Speaker Stanton
put the quletus to the Japanese ex-
clusion resolution introduced Friday by
Johnson by having it withdrawn this
morning on the ground that it was in
troduced contrary TO the rules.
Johnson reintroduced the measure,
and it was promptly referred to the
committee on introduction OF bills
where it will enjoy a complete rest.
Stanton has the Sanford resolution
safely tucked In his inside pocket,
where 1t also probably will remain un-
til it is too late in the Session to take
the matter up.
The ardor of those who desire to see
anti-Japanese measures adopted has
been dampened with the exception of
that of two members Of the senate who
still intend to keep the matter before
that body.
The assembly today passed the senate
bill appropriatfng $4,000 to be used by
the bureau Of labor statistics in gath
erfng data on the Japanese situation in
the state. This bill was introduced at
the request of the governor and prob
ably will be signed by him Monday.
Those who contend that effective
anti-Japanese Legislation can be en-
acted only by congress are content TO
await the outcome of the investigation
when the state will be in a better posi-
tfon to place correct statement of ita
condition before the federal authorities
and secure Legislation if it is necessary.

have to labor with a woman to con-

to win her for sock-darning pur-

the comfort of having woman to

gone down before it. With this lure

The meeting was a most enthusi-

were so carried away on the subject
that they took off their rings and
gave them to the cause of foreign
missions. One of the visiting dele
gates exhibited a watch with a case
thickly studded with diamonds
which had been given her by a mil

had turned over her entire fortune
to be used for the foreign missionary
cause.
