LAST ANTI-JAPANESE BILL
DEFEATED IN CALIFORNIA

Sacramento, CAL, Feb 13-Yielding
to the pressure brought to bear by Pre-
sident Roosevelt and Gov. Gillett, the
California assembly retired from it's
previous position on the anti Japanese
matters by reconsidering the former
vote on the segregation of Japanese
students in the public schools, and fin
ally rejecting the measure by vote of
Al to 81. An effort by the supporters
Of the bill to further reconsider was
lost by tie vote, and the assembly is
now clear of any anti-Japanese mea-
sure objected to by the national admin
istration. The fight for the suppression
OF the bill was won only after many
hours of heated debate on the floor
After final action had been taken,
Gov. Gillett said: II am highly
pleaded with the action of the assem-
bly,. The East has been deeply con-
cerned in the measures pending here,
and l feared that if the anti Japanese
legislation were passed at this time it
would have disastrous effect. y

Our Supply IL LiImitless.

Take the thing we need most-food
We have not yet begun to scratch the
possibilities of the food in America.
The State Of Texas could supply

for clothing, there is material enough
in this country to clothe all its inhab-
itants in purple and fine linen. We
have not begun yet to touch the posi-.
bilities of our clothing and dress sup
ply. The same is true OF all other
necessities and luxuries.
When the whale ships in New Bed.
ford Harbor and other ports were rot
ting in idleness, because the whale was
becoming extinct, Americans grew
alarmed lest we should dwell in dark
ness: but the oil wells came to our res
cue with abundant supply. And then.
when we began to doubt that this
source would lost, science gave us the
electric light. The possibilities of find
ing heat, power and light in chemical
forces should the coal supply fail are
simply boundless. We are still on the
outer surface of abundance, surface
covering kingly supplies for every 1ndi-

TAFT AND SHERMAN ARE
DULY DECLARED ELECTED

Washington, Feb. 13.-With simple
but impressive ceremonies the count
ing of the electoral vote for president
and vice president occurred at a joint
session of the senate and house held in
the chamber Of the lower body.
William H. Taft, of Ohio, and James
S. Sherman, of New York, we're Off
cially declared to be the choice of the
people for the term Of four years, be-
ginning March next The count con-
sumed exactly 40 minutes.
Vice President Fairbanks, who pre-
sided, announced that applause would
not be permitted This followed DEM
ocratic manifestations over the name
of William j. Bryan in connection with
the vote of Alabama, the first state
called.
The Taft adherents, nevertheless,
disregarded the admonition and iber-
ally applauded the first mention of his
name when the California vote was
announced.
Mr.. Bailey, of Texas, one of the
tellers, called attention to the fact that
Tie COI G1C1k1C0 VI VAoOOAA0AA AOesN oAAe's
the vote of that state read William
H. Taft, of New York and James S.
Sherman, of New York" Mr.. Bailey
said that ''of course, under the consti-
tuition it is not permissible for state
to vote for candidate for president
and vice president from the same state,
tut your tellers perfectly understand
that this is clerical error
The vice president directed that the
vote be recorded for William Fl. Taft,
of Ohio.
The tellers then reported that Will
lam III. Taft and James s. Sherman
had received 321 votes and that Will
lam J. Bryan and James W. Kern had
received 1872 votes. Only 242 votes
ware necessary to elect.

Were coming, Robert" yelled TIE
velyan, as the door shivered under
their weight but did not give, and they
prepared to hurl themselves once again.
Again the revolver cracked. The bell
rang furiously. Still the door resisted
their efforts. And now they heard a
low, sobbing moan of utter fear, grad
ually rising, rising, rising, until wild,
unearthly shrek rang In their ears.
And for a moment they stood un-
herved. They heard the bell drop with
a thud and rattle to the floor. And
now the shrek ceased suddenly with
choking moan. and there came crash
and thud.
The next moment the door gave, and
they were precipitated into the room.
The lamp still burned upon the table.
The revolver and bell lay upon the
floor. The smell of gunpowder filled the
room. The armchair had been turned
over backwards, and with it had fallen

and delving, and tearing frantically at
the wall. Now the head Of the sledge-
hammer encountered no resistance, and
they heard the sound of falling mason
ry within, and a clink, as Of iron. Fee
verishly they worked, and now large
opening showed In the wall, and
mass of debris covered the floor. Hold
ing candle before him, Trevelyan
stepped into the aperture. He found
that he was standing in space about
six feet high and about three feet
square.
Again he heard the clink Of iron and
a cracking beneath his feet. He looked
down, and gasped In establishment. He
was standing upon bed of dry bones.
He looked closer, and saw two skulls
among them, while what were evident
" iron manacles were mixed up with
the bones. He held the candle nearer.
One Of the skulls had jagged hole In
it.

At the outset 1 desire to point out
that not a dollar of the public money
has been paid to any commissioner for
his work on the commission.
"The only recommendation 1 submit
is that an appropriation of $25, 900 be
provided to enable the commission to
digest the material it has collected and
to collect and digest much more that is
within its reach, and thus complete its
work. This would enable the COM
mission to gather in the harvest of
suggestion which is resulting from the
discussion it has stirred up. The COM
mlssioners have served without COM

appropriation for their services, but
only for the expenses that will be re-

Where Government Can Help
"The commission points out, and I
concur in the conclusion, that the most
important help that the government,
whether state or national, can give is
to show the people how to go about
these tasks of organization, education
and communication with the best and
quickest results. This can be done by
the collection and spread of informa-
ton. One community can thus be in
formed of what other communities
have done, and one country Of what
other countries have DONE Such help
