they are fed and managed. On mar
kets where both native and western
sheep are received. the daily reports
nearly always distinguish between
them. While thin natives are often
bought up in the country and success

stances impossible to fatten them.
1. The market classes OF sheep are
mutton, feeder and breeding sheep.
The name CT n class indicates the use
TO which sheep In that class are put.
2. Each class Is divided into sub
classes and these again into grades. In
general the names of the subclasses
suggest differences OF either age or
sex between sheep put to the same
use. The grades refer TO differences
between the best and the less desir-
able animals In the various sub
CLASSES. In the mutton class these diff.
feronces are based on quality. form,

KILL ANTI-JApaNESE BILLS
PRESIDENT WINS FIGHT AGAINST
CALIFORNIA LAWS.
Gov ciIIett and Speaker Stanton
Praised by Roosevelt for Defeat
Of "Obnoxlous Measures"

Sacramento, Cal.-Yielding TO the
pressure brought to bear by President
Roosevelt and Gov. Gillett, the Cali
fornia assembly retired from its pre-
vious position on the anti-Japanese
matters Wednesday by reconsidering
the former vote on the segregation Of
Japanese students In the public
schools and finally rejecting the
measure by vote Of IL to 81.
An effort by the supporters Of the
bill further TO reconsider was lost by
tie vote and the assembly is now
clear OF any anti-Japanese measure
objected to by the national admins

The fight for the suppression OF the
bill was won only after many hours
Of heated debate on the floor. The
struggle started at 1913 O'Clock in the
morning, on the presentation OF res

there learn the requirements and the
demands for the different grades In
the various classes. the great majority
OF sheep owners. and many feeders

reports for such Information, and the
value OF these reports TO the man who
proposes TO buy or sell sheep Is deter
mined by the extent 10 which he can
apply them TO his particular purchase

Native sheep are those produced
ordinarily in small fioeks-on the
farms Of the central. southern and
eastern states. Western sheep are
those produccd-usually in large

Vice President-elect Sherman in his

on the floor and took great interest
In the proceedings.
When Mr.. Bailey OF Texas, one OF
the tellers, called attention TO the fact,
that the certificate of Wisconsin read
that the vote of that state was for
William II. Taft of New York and
James S. Sherman of New York." Mr..
Bailey said that "of course under the

before the jury In a demand for the
life of Erwin Pope. negro. charged
with the murder of James B. McClur-
kin. a prominent miller, ginner and
farmer. on April 20.
The feeling against the negro has
been intense from the time of the COM
mission of the murder and when So
licitor Tunstall concluded an impas-
stoned utterance, the applause began,
being taken up In the rotunda of the
court house and echoed, from the doors
and to the very steps of the building.
Judge Coleman was indignant at the
demonstration and said he regretted
that he did not know the name Of
every. person participating In the APP
plause, which he denounced as out
rageous and unciyiltzed."
