JAPANESE TROUBLES
Introduces Joint Resolution Urging
Congress to Amend Constitution
to Put Ban on Plurality
of Wives
[By Associated Press.1

SACRAMENTO, Feb 24.-Assembly-
man Grove L. Johnson of Sacramento.
whose anti-Japanese bills aroused the
antagonism of President Roosevelt, in
troduced in the assembly late this aft
ernoon joint resolution asking con-
gress for a convention to amend the
constitution so as to prohibit poly
gamy.
1t requests all other legislatures now
in session to join in the movement.
The measure was introduced at the
request of Mrs. Hester T. Griffith of
Los Angeles, president Of the Women's
Christian Temperance Union.
There is a colony of about 1000 Nor
mons at Gridley, Butte county, this
state, and many more scattered all over
California.
The resolution in full follows:
Whereas, 1t appears from investiga-
tion recently made by the senate of the
United States and otherwise that poly
gamy still exists in certain places in
the United States, Notwithstanding pro-
hibitory statutes enacted by the several
states thereof, and
Y Favors Federal Control
Whereas, The practice of polygamy
is generally condemned by the people
of the United States and there is de-
mand for the more effectuaI prohibition
thereof by placing the subject under
federal jurisdiction and control, at the
same time reserving to each state the
right to make and enforce its own laws
relating TO marriage and divorce, the
senate concurring, that application be
and hereby is made to congress under
the provisions of article of the con-

REFUSE TO RAISE
PRESIDENTS PAY
HOUSE REJECTS THE SENATE'S
SALARY AMENDMENT
UNUSUAL SCENE MARKS DEFEAT
OF MEASURE
Lawmakers Charge That United States
Are EndeaVoring to Ape Foreign
PoWers-FederaI Judges
Also Lose
[By Associated Press.l ]

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-The house
today rejected the senate provision in
creasing to 100000 the salary of the
president.
After the senate amendment allow
ing the president 100000 had been re-
jected an unusual scene resulted.
Members scrambled for recognition
to make various motions. The speaker,
unruffled by his besiegers, held that a
motion by Mr.. Watson of Indiana to
recede from the amendment and amend
it so as to make the salary $4,000 was
preferential.
Mr.. Watson sought to shut off debate
by moving the previous question and
on that proposition the roll again was
called.
The previous question was ordered
and the amendment was carried, 163
to 149, amid Republican applause.
The amendment will make the presi-
dents salary equivalent to the present
salary plus the $25,000 heretofore al
lowed him for travelling expenses, the
appropriation being stricken out.
A long debate was precipitated by
Mr.. Bingham offering an amendment
to the senate amendment designating
the proposed new official of the state
department as 'vice secretary instead
of under secretary and reducing the
salary from $4,000 to $500.
Strenuous objection and ridicule
came from all sides. The charge was
made from several quarters that the
United States was trying to ape for
eign powers.
The amendment was vigorously sup
ported by Mr.. Watson of Indiana, while
Mr.. Mann of Illinois, in opposing the
creation of the offices of under secre-
tary and fourth assistant secretary,
maintained that it was simply another
way of giving office to two more men.
Without an opportunity being afford
ed to vote upon the Bingham amend
ment the house rejected the whole
amendment and all remaining senate
amendments pertaining to the state de-
partment.
The next battle was waged on the
senate amendment increasing the SAL
aries of federal judges. Finding, itself
in a helpless minority the conference
committee moved nonconcurrence in
all the amendments. This action was
taken and the bill sent back to con-
ference.

vanced from so to rs and that he hoped
they would go higher.
Il would like to get off this jury he
said, "but cannot perjure myself"
At this point occurred the only clash
of the day. Mr.. Heney, who was eX-
amining the juror, said he was willing
to help Holzberg get off the jury, and
A. A. Moore of the defense objected to
the prosecutors manner.
Heney Reprimanded
Judge Lawlor reprimanded Mr.. Heney
and the latter said
II am entitled to the protection of the
court. / have manifested the proper
respect for the court, the attorneys and
the jurors, but L don't think L should
extend my charity to jurors who insist
upon asking me questions"
You should learn the art of patience" "
directed Judge Lawlor.
81 have learned the art of patience,
but after a man gets shot through the
head he doesn't think so much of the
art of patience
Judge Lawlor finally allowed the OBJ
lection, and Mr.. Heney, who was OBJ
viously angered by the ruling, chal-
lened the juror.
Judge Lawlor asked Holzberg several
questions relating to his state of mind
and Stanley Moore Of the defense said
the ownership of bonds and their fiuc-
tuations was not on trial
But the fear of bondholders has in
several instances preserved the peace
of the world" interjected Mr.. O'Gara,
"and the same fear might be invoked
to stop these prosecutions" he con-
tinued. ''And it will be remembered
that this juror, when first examined,
did not do as other jurors did, and call
attention to his ownership of these
bonds"
Judge LawIor finally delayed the de-
cision of the challenge until tomorrow.
During the afternoon there was &
slight stir over the entrance Of an agent
of the local Citizens Alliance, who was
summoned to the lobby of the court
room by policemen and searched. 1t
developed the spectator had only his
wife's jewel case in his hip pocket, and
he was allowed to retain his seat.

YALE WINS BY
GOAL AND SAFETY

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, November 90
In a game with the ball much in the
air and characterized by kicking plays
rather than the heavy massing rush,
Yale defeated Harvard today by a score
of to o.
Captain Coy of Yale, who plays left
half back, was the bright particular star
of the game, coming out of the game
with the record of dropping two field
goals from the thirty-fve yard line.
Harvard on one occasion blocked a
kick and made a safety behind its own
goal line.
Only once during the whole game was
Yale within touchdown distance of the
Harvard goal line. 1t was clear case
Of Captain Coy's right foot winning
the game for Yale. The men in blue
could make no serious Roadway in
rushes against the Harvard line, which
was held splendidly.
The game ended with the ball in
Harvard S possession on Harvard s IF
teen-yard line.
The contest was the most spectacular
that has ever been known in recent
years between the two great teams, and
the crowd of forty thousand enthusiasts
went wild with excitement after the
tense moments when the results of the
splendid kicks by Coy were in doubt.

they kicked. soon had them in front
of the college goal. Then Mckenzie
got away. and it seemed certain that
he must score, but MarcalIino was
there with a splendid tackle and Ne
Renzie was downed five yards from
tne line.
Then Punahou fumbled and the col
lega had the ball. but the kick went
outside before it had gone far down
the field. VIII Desha then got away
in a great end run, but was tackled
fifteen yards from the line and thrown
outside.
The college stopped the Puns from
making gain and took the ball, but
Marcall;no kicked too close to the side
lines and Punahou had the ball twenty
yards from the college goal line.
Norton Gets Over.
Straight and hard bucking was then
instituted by the Puns, who wore
down to within one yard of the col

tackle and over the line for the second
score Of the day. The goal was not
kicked, and the score stood IL to 0,
