LEGISLATORS ARE ON WARPArA
south Dakota House Busy killing off
Bins After Verbal


PIERRE. S. D., Feb. IL-tspecial Tele-
gram.)-While the senate moved along
serenely today without any attempt TO
entertain the crowd in the gallery the
house was in a scrappy mood all afternoon
and made the road rocky for several meas
ures, one of which was passed and another
killed and a third went back to commit
tee. The first mixup was on the boiler in
spectlon bill. which had been in hiding for
several days and popped out into the open
with the whole crowd after 1t, a bunch OF
amendments being offered and each man
talked on his own amendments or at leaA
attempted to and none. ever got TO a vote
until Swansea offered as a substitute for
everything else, indefinite postponemeat
and that bill went to oblivion for the
eleventh time since statehood. The next
fight was on the county auditor salary
proposition. which was supported by Newell
ana Taylor and opposed by Mendeil, Burn
stad and English, the latter not wanting
to open the way for ali other county Of
ficers to ask for increase pay. After
several Intellectual efforts to amend It the
one went back to the committee.
The senate bill to elect county comrnis-
sioners by districts was the next to get
under fire with Larson of Union and Peter
son of Clay opposing It and Nelson. War
rem. Bartine. Hebsl and Norbeck backing
the bill which was easily passed.
The senate passed the senate bill fixing
salaries Of county judges and the house
resolution to again submit TO the people the
question Of the increase of the salary OF
the attorney general.
The house accepted a few new appro-
~priation bills and passed one TO give the
legal department 1900 for expenses in
suits under the 2-cent rate law.

ANTI laps ATTEMPT TRICK
Nearly Successful Effort TO Push
Separate school Bill Through
California House.

SACRAMENTO, Cal. Feb. 17.-An I'M
a~vailing attempt was made late this after
noon in the lower house OF the legislature
to accomplish by amendment to an in
nocent looking school bill, the segregation
OF Japanese pupils in the public schools.
Its intent was to do practically the same
thing sought to be done in Assemblymap
Johnson's measure that recently caused
President Roosevelt to address the Cali
fornia legislature through Governor GIletr.
Tn bill under consideration was an act
to amend the political code by ''dstermin-
ing the number of years Of instruction in
the day and evening elementary schools;
determining the age of admission to such
schools and providing for separate schools
for indian. Monaghan and Chinese chill
dren."
The amendment which was offered by
A~ssembivman Harry PoisIey of Red Bluffs
was to insert the word Malay" after
Monaghan. This was declared by Assem-
blyman Hackett, who introduced the bill
and objected TO the amendment might
finally result In the exclusion of japanese
children. The latter race he said, con
tended that they were Malays, moi
Aongolians. as had been the contention OF
the San Francisco school board. when II
resolved two years ago TO segregate chill
dren under the present law.
Assemblyman Rutherford OF Truckee wai
in the chair and the house was disposlne
OF bills on second reading. when the amend.
ment by Mr.. Polsley came as a shock ia
those who recently stood by President
Roosevelt and Governor Gillett in their
fight against the Johnson school segre-
cation bill. A messenger was dispatched
at once in search Of Speaker Stanton, who
FASTENED to the assembly chamber add
seized the gavel Just before the question
was submitted TO a vote.
A roll call was demanded and until the
result was announced the speaker wors
an extremely worried appearance.
| The amendment finally was defeated by
a vote OF q 10 Is

IOWA CITY. Feb. l~7.-(special .)-Iowa's

with the n-on-appearance OF Captain-elect
Gittinger. He was expected to return TO the
university the second semester, but neither
he nor Lefty Sutherland. last years
pitcher, have put in an appearance.
However. Coach Kirk is not altogether
discouraged. as there are still several vet
Grams eligible for the team and the new
material Is expected to show up well from
the indications shown in the early practice.
The old mer who will again try for the
team are Hanlon and Burrell, pitchers; Nc
Quire and Stewart, infielders, and johann

row. The Glass "A league teams, com
prising the American association. Eastern
league and Pacific Coast league were
under consideration during the greater part
of the session. but action was deferred
until the playing schedule has been passed
upon.
President Comiskey was besieged during
the day by base ball enthusiasts, who were
anxious to know something OF the future
course of Fielder Jones.
THE matter Is Just as il was at the
close OF last season said President
.Comiskey, and while L nave not heard
from Jones. l am almost confident that he
win be back with us when the season
opens
In spite Of Comiskey's optimism IL is re-
ported that william Sullivan had been
slated to succeed Jones as manager OF the
team, but neither comiskey nor others sup
posed to enjoy his confidence would verify
the rumor.. >
National Agreement discussed.
In the short session held by the Ma
tional commission the national agreement
was the sole topic for discussion. While
no definate action was taken. IL is prob
able that the agreement will be amended
along the lines of the talk at Cincinnati
last month between the American associa-
ton and the Eastern league.
The Class IA leagues were represented
by President o'Brien of the American as
ISOLATION and President Patrick Powers of
the Eastern league.
All friction appears to have disappeared
between the magnates. President Pulliam
or the National league has announced him
self in favor Of bringing to light all that
hao haon laa-aol g. - -
umpire-bribing story. Whether or no the
special committee has learned enough to
warrant It in making a report calculated
to interest the baseball public cannot be
learned. the disposition of the magnates
being to ignore the matter until such time
as II has been brought officially to their
notice.
At the session of the National commission
tomorrow, w, r Bryan. of Wausau, Wis,
will endeavor to interest that body in the
proposed placing OF teams in Minneapolis
and ST. Paul. The projected Minnesota
Wisconsin league Is behind the movement.
Up to the present. President O'Brien Of
the American association has placed no
obstacle in the way OF the proposed new
league but he will reserve his judgment.
Dinner TO Sporting Writers.
A dinner given tonight by President Pull
liam to the sporting writer's of Chicago
newspapers resolved itself into a love feast
before the banquet board had been cleared.
President Pulliam had been expected to
express himself on the recent utterances
OF President Murphy. but when the time
came for speech making he appeared to
reconsider his announced intention of say
ing things about his ancient enemy.
This occasion said Mr.. Pulliam. lis
too Joyous TO permit OF entering into con-
troversies and I have decided that what
ever differences may have existed in the
past between baseball agnate and my
self will be put aside for the time being,
at least"
Whether OF not MIR. Pulliam will discuss
Mr.. Murphy before the sessions OF the
National league have ended is a matter
OF conjecture. There seems to be a dis
position on the part Of both to let past
differences drop in the interest OF the ma
tional game

JOY CLARK MAKES BIG HIT
Omaha Boy Wins Fame at Basket
Ball in Chicago.

Chicago papers are full of praise of the
splendid work of Joy" Clark of the basket
ball team of the Chicago university and
this success is especially pleasing TO many
Omaha friends of the lad. Clark is a son
OF Rev. A. w. Clark and was formerly cap
team. The Chicago Tribune says of his
work against Minnesota:
Joy Clark cinched his position on the
team by his all-around work. He was the
Individual star of the evening and time
after time dribbled the ball the length II
the court and followed it up by securing a
basket. Minnesota was unprepared for such
fast work as Joy displayed and sent three
men against him in an effort to find some
way TO stop his work In tossing baskets.
He is credited with throwing five field bas-
kets. Clark was taken out of the game In
the second half 20 save him for the game
with Illinois tonight"
Another account of the game said:

CHICAGO, Feb. 1f.-The opening sessions

s~ational. Notwithstanding the rumors OF the
last week.. Both organizations were slow
IN getting down to work and the business
transacted was not sufficiently important
to cause the average base bail enthusiasts

although q special. committee. headed by
President John t. Brush OF the New York

was announced after the session that the
