MRS. HEMP TELLS > STORY OF HER LIFE

St Louis. February 9.-A crowd of 1000 people struggled with the police to enter the courthouse this afternoon and hear the testimony of Mrs. Lillian Handlan Lemp in her suit for divorce from Will liam J. Lemp, Jr the millionaire brewer.
 All standing room was taken when employees of the Lemp faimly told on the witness stand of visits of women to the Lemp home while Mrs. Lemp was absent. Mrs. Lemp finished her redirect examina- ton during the morning session of court, and after being excused she paid close at tention to the testimony of the men and women who had worked about the Lemp home.
 Lena Corey, a laundress, testified she found the combings of a woman's hair in Mrs. Lemp's bathroom. Some times the hair was light and some times dark She found a womans cuff button there, and wien MT. Lemp asked her about it she gave it to him.
 One afternoon the witness saw woman in the bath room. At another time five or six people were singing and drinking at the house. Some of them were women. They broke glasses and spilled beer on rug and threw chewing gum all about.
 Judge Shields ntimated today that he would shield the 16-year- old son, William J. Lemp III, from the throng waiting to hear him testify. Because of the boys age Judge Hitchcock believes he would not be a competent witness.

SCHOOL BILL WILL COME UP
F @'a Stand Will Be Taken Against the Japanese Measures By Speaker Stanton and Supporters of
 Governor Gillett.

Sacramento, Cal, February 9.-Fol- lowing conference in the Japanese question tonight Gov J. N. Gillett de- elined to discuss the matters under consideration and the strictest secrecy is being maintained by three assembly men who were called into consulta- tion. These were Grove L. Johnson of Sacramento, the author of the Japan ese school segregation bill which passed the lower house last week and will be up for consideration tomorrow: Speaker Phillip A. stanton. who. has fought against all anti-Japanese legis- lation. and J. P. Transue assembly, man from Los Angeles. who has been one of the administration warmest supporters in the house.
 It Is understood on good authority that no definite promise was made by Mir Johnston to agree to furth CT post ponement of his school bill but that he would do so if certain anti-Japan- csc legislators would indorse the pro gramme.
 The measure is to be called tomor- row for reconsideration of the vote by which 1t was passed and a firm stand will be made by Speaker Stanton and his leutenants in sustaining the posi- tion of the governor and the federal authorities

Protest From Chinese.

San Francisco, February 9.-In a tel egraphic communication addressed to President Roosevelt and sent today by the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent association, better known as the Chi nese Six Companies, the attention of the President is called to certain in stances where in it is affirmed that the executive department sought for the Japanese residents of California many rights and privileges that the Chinese have long been denied The message in part follows:
 We beg leave to refer you, MT. Presi dent. to the fact that there is a dis crimination in favor of Japanese residents as against Chinese residents and priv ileged classes of this country.
 Such a discrimination is very apparent from the fact that the department of com merce and labor governed by the policy of your administration, imposes upon the citizens of Chinese descent domiciled in Ameriea-Chinese merchants and their families-the privileged classes of Chinese under the treaty, every conceivable em- barrassment which is in no way suffered by the Japanese
 We appeal to you, MT. President, to right the wrongs suffered by the Chinese of Reno. state of Nevada, whose property without due process of law was destroyed and the occupants turned out in the streets homeless and destitute.
 We ask of you to exert strong pro- test against the present school laws of California, which discriminate against Chinese children, whether citizens or aliens, and we respectfully ask you to as- sist us in taking these laws into the courts to test their constltutionality, as you have stated you will do regarding any law which may become such, affecting Japanese children.
 Tt is a well-known fact that Chinese are arrested. searched and their papers, the only means by which they may be identified and saved the humiliation of ar rest and deportation, confscated."

SEEKING TO PROVE
 RAILWAY MERGER

Cincinnati, February S.-Seeking to prove that agencies and joint freight solicitors for the Union and Southern Pacific railways were indications of a merger of interests. contrary to law, the federal government today put Il wit nesses on the stand in the hearing be- fore Special Hearer Sylvester G. Will liams There was much similarity in the testimony, the apparent effort being to increase its effectiveness by the multi plicity of witnesses to the same effect
 The fact of joint agencies and solicitors and agents, with credentials representing them as doing business for the two rail- roads and securing business for both lines without expressed preference by the agent as to which should be taken was brought out.
 According to the testimony this was very different from the previous state of affairs when the representatives of the two roads were actively in competi- ton for the business In behalf of the roads the attorneys sought to bring out that the lines were not actually covering the same territory except west of Ogden, asking for expressions from witnesses in support of that view
 The hearing was of routine nature, although occasional flashes from some of the witnesses enlivened things a bit.

Dublin, February 9.-The national convention of the United Irish League which was opened at the Mansion House today under the presidency of John Redmond, was the scene before the session closed of an outbreak that resembled the proverbial 'Donnybrook Fair" William OBrien spoke in op- position to the chief secretary of Ire lands land bill. Mir. Redmond was in favor of this measure.
 During the controversy. Eugene Crean, member of parliament from the southeast division of Cork, rushed to the platform apparently with the in tention of assa ulting MT. Redmond. 4.e was suppressed and hustled away, how ever Then for a few moments the platform became seething mass of angry disputants. Priests and legis- lators rushed into the fray and tugged at one another's collars while the re- mainder of the audience yelled, cheered and shouted enthusiastic encourage ment to the disputants. Ten minutes or more elapsed before Mr Redmond was able to quell the pandemonium and the business of the conference could be resumed

Nashville February 9.-Another con- tinuance of three days, with the jury box still lacking one man, marked the close of the third week today of the trial of Col. Duncan B. Cooper, Robin J. Cooper and John D. Sharp, charged with the staying of former Senator E. w. Car mack. The remainder of the fifth venire of 300 talesmen was quickly exhausted without securing a competent juror.

Mexico City. February 9.-The famous oil well, known as the Dos Bocas, which for months shot a column of flames and smoke into the air for many hundreds of feet, has been converted into a geyser and fears are entertained that eventually the well may become an active volcano. The first evidences of this were made ap- parent today when. in addition to the great volume of boiling waters which are being lifted heavenward at the rate of 25 LOGO gallons each 24 hours, large quan- tity of volcanic stone was erupted.
 Biologists are now watching this strange freak in the already abnormal region with interest. The appearance of volcanic stones in the discharge has greatly alarmed people living near the we'll

King Casey" is from the pen of Aaron Hoffman and was among the musical comedy successes of last season.
