.battleship Georgia, on a charge pre-
ferred by Rear Admiral Wainwright
that he was under the influence of
intoxicants at reception given at
Tangier by the American minister,
Samuel Gummere, was presented to-
day. The hearing was held on the
battleship Louisiana and a number
of witnesses testified that Captain
Qualthrough was intoxicated and un-
fit for duty. The accused officer, who
took the stand in his own behalf,
made a lengthy statement to the eff
feet that he was ill and suffering
greatly from fatigue, and that he
had only taken one glass of sherry
and nothing afterwards. He had
also smoked strong cigar.
Surgeon Crandall of the Georgia
was one of the two witnesses for the
defense and testified that the cap
tain's physical condition was low
and he Therefore was very succepti-
BILE to the action of liquor and to-
bacco. The pleadings will be con-

SEARCH
FOR TREASURE
OF S59,OOO,OOO
(By Associated Press.)

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. Capt.
James Brown, who was a member of
a party that searched for the famous
Cocos isalnd treasure in 1850, sailed
again for the south sea today to re-
cover the spoils of the Spanish free
hooters taken from them by Captain
Smith of the schooner Black Witch,
which sailed from Salem, Massa-
chusetts, in 1920.
Ever since that time venturesome
treasure-seekers have sought the
rich loot, but all that has ever come
of their search has been countless ro-
mances of the sea.
According to an interview given
by Captain Brown before he sailed
the reason for the failure was the
fact that the party which he accom-
panied in 1850 removed the treasure
from the Cocos to another island of
the south Pacific.
In the expedition of 1850 Brown
sailed with Captain Henry Smith,
son of the doughty seafarer, who re-
lieved the Spanish pirates Of their
great treasure
According to the captain the trea.
sure was found and 100000 was
removed to Australia after the
schooner had broken up and all OF
the crew except the captain, the
steward and himself had perished
The remaining $4,000, 900 was bur.
led on another island ,..'.S pi-ia
/ Before this country ,sas reache,
the captain and steward died, so he
claims that he is the only living mar
who knows the whereabouts of the
treasure.
Captain Brown left this port OIL
board the Mariposa and he plans t
outfit small steamer when h,
reaches the group Of islands wher
the treasure is buried. He has

clude the Japanese, SO far as 1t Is
possible for him to do so under the
present treaty conditions. AS to what

At the afternoon session of the

The amendments consisted of elimi-
mating all the reference to govern
ment interference and urged the
state of California to pass stringent
measures to exclude the Japanese.
There was but one vote against the
measure ,and that by Assemblyman
Church of Lincoln county. The tel
egram from Senator Nixon was also
read to the assembly. In answer to
his telegram the assembly telegraph
ed the resolution as amended to him.
1t is likely that the resolution will
be delivered to the senate tomorrow.
Should that body take the measure

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 3.-After a
debate lasting from II o'clock this
morning until o'clock this evening,
the assembly rejected the bill drawn
by a. NJ Drew, barring aliens from
the ownership of land in California,
by vote of forty-eight to twenty
eight. The bill had been amended
at the request OF President Roosevelt
and Secretary Root so that the clause
applying it only to Japanese was
eliminated, and making it apply to
all aliens, but the measure aroused
such a storm of opposition that long
before the debate was closed by
Lrew it was apparent that the mea-
sure would be defeated. The sub
stance of the objection was that it
would drive at least billion dollars
Of foreign capital out of the state
and might jeopardize the present
friendly commercial relations with
Japan. The proponents of the bill
contended that the state was being
overrun by thrifty Japanese who had
no intentions of becoming citizens
and who were gradually gain
ing an impregnable position as
land owners. and whose government
was trying to dictate to Californis
regarding the legislation.
Two sensational speeches were
made. one for and one against th'
measure. Assemblyman Grove L
Johnson. the author of four bills
