Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

SACRAMENTO, July AFTER search
ing the records OF New York. Wash
ington. Chicago, Sacramento and San
Francisco for some trace of the issu-
ance of his naturalization papers so he
could get a passport to his old home in
Bethlehem. Nathan Zemansky, a
wealthy pawn broker of Sacramento,
has finally discovered distant relative
in San Francisco who was present
when he was made citizen in Chicago.
Zemansky had voted for 80 years in
Sacramento on the strength of his nat
uralization papers issued in Chicago,
but when he applied for passport to
go to the old world he found that his
papers had been destroyed in the Chi
cago fire of 1871 and he had no legal
proof that he was other than an alien.
Zemansky has spent more than a
week in San Francisco and secured the
assistance of United States District At
torney Robert Devlin and Chief Justice
w. II. Beatty of the supreme court in
proving that he was entitled to the
rights of an American.
Zemansky will leave for Jerusalem
at once TO attend the dedication of the
$250,O0O home for the aged to be held
there and in which cause he was an
earnest worker.

prospect for any of that spice w1ich
is said to be the result of variety.
Night sessions are probable.
No plan OF operation has been out
lined beyond that of hammering
away at the various schedules as per-
slstently as possible This Is Senator
Aldrichs' program and nothing but
set speeches of strong opposition By
other senators will cause him to de-
yiate from it
The lumber schedule, taken up yes
terday, will on Monday continue to
receive attention and it is expected
that Mr.. Heybu of Idaho will con-
clude his remarks. He Is pleading
zealously for a hign duty on lumber
while his nelghbor, Senator McCum-
Der of North Dakota, is just as earn
estly exerting himself to prevent the
imposition of any lumber duty what
ever.
The prospect is still for much con-
trovevsy.
With the lumber paragraphs dis
posed of. the finance committee will
undertake to have the senate gather
up the odds and ends of the tariff bill
which have ben passed over, with
view to cleaning up as much Of the
measure as possible before tAe cotton
and woolen schedules are reached, on
which there VIII be much discussion
and sharp conflict 1t Is not probable,
however. that either of these schedules
