Tuasday. February 2.

Washington, Feb 2.-The house
locked horns today with the senate OF
the question of automobiles for the
White House and refused to accept an
amendment to the urgency deficiency
bill striking out the appropriation of
$12,0 600 for that purpose. The bill
was sent to conference.
The hopes of the army for sufficient
money to continue its experiments in
aeronautics were blasted when the
house reconsidered it's action of last
week and by vote Of almost two to
one withdrew the increase Of $500, 600
then made.
The army appropriation bill was
passed and consideration of the agri-
cultural bill Immediately begun. Lar
rinaga, delegate from Porto Rico, ad-
vocated duty on other than Porto
Rican coffee entering the United
States.
The increased appropriation for
aeronautics was stricken out by so to
SO on a rising vote. On rollcall the
appropriation was defeated, 80 to 161.
This reduces the appropriation to the
original sum of $250,000.
An appropriation of 5000, 600 was
made for the purchase of automatic
rifles.
A long wrangle ensued over an
amendment by Fitzgerald, of New
York, limiting the price of powder,
except for small arms, to "a cents per
pound. The chair ruled the amend
ment out of order.
For the first time in several years
absolute party lines were drawn in the
senate when, on yesterday, an eXecu-
tive session was ordered to consider
the nomination of Dr. w. D. Crum to
be collector of customs at Charleston,
S. c.
All the republicans on the floor voted
to close the doors, while the democrats
voted to proceed with legislative bust
ness. When the case was called up
Senator Tillnlan asked that it go over
until today. In resuming the fight
party lines again will be drawn.

Friday, February 5.

Washington, Feb. 5. - Presiden
Roosevelt today received a report from
a commission appointed to revise AM
codify the laws applying to safety O
life at sea. 1t is known to contain {
number of important recommendations
among them the enactment of a law
compelling the placing of wireless in
struments on all large steam and sail
ing vessels.
Representative Burke was not sue.
cessful today in having reported to the
house his bill requiring passenger yes.
sells to be equipped with wireless tele-
graph.
The subcommittee this afternoon re-
drafted the Burke bill, but retained the
provision limiting it's application to
ocean vessels. Under the bill as
agreed to, the captain and owner of a
vessel are held criminally responsible
for clearing without wireless equip
ment.
When Mr.. Taft becomes president,
he will ride in an automobile furnished
by the government. That question
was settled today by the adoption of
the report of the conferees on the ur-
gent deficiency bill, which carries an
item of $4,000 for the purchase,
care and maintenance of automobiles
for the use of the president.
The appropriation of $500, 900 to en-
able the secretary of agriculture to
continue his campaign against the foot
and mouth disease, which was also in
dispute, was reduced to $3.50, 600 and
adopted.
Another long session over the nomi-
nation of W. d. Crum, the negro col
lector of customs at Charleston, S. c.,
who was reappointed by President
Roosevelt, was held by the senate to-
day, and no vote was reached. Demo
cratic members made it clear that they
did not intend that the appointment
should be voted on the present session.
Among the republicans who spoke
were Smith of Michigan, Dixon and
Beveridge.

HENEY FINDS HONEST MAN.
Accepts for Calhoun Juror Talesman
Who Has Many Opinions.

San Francisco, Feb. Ga tenth ju,
ror was temporarily passed today in
the trial of Patrick Calhoun, and the
acceptance OF another was held in
allegiance pending decision by Judge
w. P. Lawlor, to b rendered tomor-
row. John Scollard, a retail shoe
dealer, admitted a sympathy in favor
of the president of the United Rail-
roads, confessed a reluctance to accept
testimony of the bribe taking supervi-
sors and did not approve of extending
what he termed extensive immunity to
criminals. Very much to the surprise
of every person in the courtroom AS
sistant District Attorney Heney, first
ascertaining that the juror professed
his willingness to try the case inn ar
TALLY as far as his prejudices would
permit, accepted him.
Thirteen talesmen were examined
during the day, leaving 16 citizens of
the eighth panel to await interroga-
ton. A ninth venire of rs men was
ordered returned next Monday.

KILLS RACE TRACK BETTING.
Present Season Will Be the Last ir
California.

Sacramento, CAL, Feb. 5.-Racing
in the state of California received a
vital blow when the senate today, by a
vote of 33 to 7, passed the Walker-Otis
antiracetrack gambling bill, which
prohibits poolselling, bookmaking or
gambling On horse races. The bill
having already passed the assembly, it
will now go 10 the governor for his
signature, after which it will become a
law.
Governor Gillett has signiied his in
tention to sign the measure if passed,
but it is believed that he will not take
this action until 80 days shall have
elapsed. AS the bill permits pool deal
ers and bookmakers 60 days in which
to close up their affairs, the present
season of racing at the Emeryvile and
Santa Anita courses will not be dis
turbed.
The Walker-Otis gambling bill is re-
ferred to as "the Hughes law of Cali
fornia" in this section, inasmuch as it
follows closely the text of the Hughes
bill, which was passed by the last leg
islature in the state of New York.
Violation of the measure is made fel-
ony, the punishment for which is i'm
prisonment in the state penitentiary
and heavy fine.

MORGAN CAUSED THE PAM c
Crash of 1907 Was to Get Revenge
on John w. Gates.

Washington, Feb. "a demand
that John w. Gates be summoned be-
fore the senate committee which is in
vestigating the absorption of the Ten
nessee Coal and Iron company by the
United States Steel corporation, will
be made by the democratic members of
the committee. The democrats believe
that Mr.. Gates can reveal one of the
most gigantic plots ever conceived in
finance, involving the inception of the
panic of 1907, which, according to
their allegations, cost Mr.. Gates and
his associates millions of dollars.
According to the story told today, J.
Pierpont Morgan in the purchase of
the Tennessee company, wreaked sum-
mary vengeance on Mr.. Gates for the
Louisville & Nashville coup of 1902,
which, it is said, cost the Morgan in
terests SIS, 900. Mr.. Gates ac-
complished this coup while Mr.. Morgan
was perfecting control of the Atlantic
Coast, Seaboard & Southern railroad,
with view to controlling the railroad
situation in the South. The net result
was that Mr.. Morgan was compelled to
buy out Mr.. Gates at his own figures.
This stock, when bought, was turned
over to the Atlantic Coast Line COM
pany of Connecticut, the holding COM
pany of the Atlantic Coast Line rail-
road.
1t is now alleged that this deal
rankled in the breast of Mr.. Morgan
until 1907, when it was found that Mr..
Gates and the syndicate associated
with him controlled the Tennessee Coal
and Iron company and had hypothecat-
ed their holdings with interests in New
York. 1t is intimated by the demo-
Gratis that certain financial conditions
were brought about which resulted in
Mr.. Gates and his friends being
out of the concern.
The retaliation of Mr.. Morgan and
his friends is likened by the democrats
to the Gould corner in gold in 1873,
which resulted in "Black Friday" and
the Hartman fight over the
Northern Pacific road in 1901, which
brought on "Blue Thursday"

Saturday, February 9.

Washington, Feb. 6.-After devot
ing almost its entire session to the
subject, the house today passed bill
making several amendments to the ma.
tional bankruptcy law. Clayton, OF
Alabama, made desperate but unsuc'
cessful attempt to secure the repeal OF
the law, he and his supporters main
tanning it had served its purpose.
The bill is designed to correct GER
tain inequalities in the administration
Of the law in various parts of the coun-
try and amends the statute by regulat-
ing the duties and compensation of re-
ceivers in order to prevent excessive
fees. 1t also provides that any mon
eyed business or commercial corpora
tion, except a municipal, railroad or
banking corporation, can file petition
for bankruptcy, thereby eliminating
the discrepancy that has heretofore ex-
listed when some court decisions barred
many corporations in one circuit that
would be admitted into bankruptcy in
another. The bill restores the language
of the act of 1867 which has been set
tied by decisions of the courts.
The splendid qualities of mind and
character OF the late Senator William
B. Allison, 35 years a United States
senator and eight years member of
the house of representatives, were the
subject of many eulogies in the senate
today. Nineteen senators spoke in
praise of the public services of Senator
Allison. The addresses consumed the
entirn dav

McLOUGHLiN RELICS FOUND.
Workman Digging on Site of House
Makes Valuable Find.

Oregon City, Feb. 5.--Valuable his.
torical relics supposed to have belong,
ed to DR.. John Mclaughlin were founC
by workmen eXcavating here yesterday
on the site of the old Mclaughlin
home, which has been removed to make
way for an office building for the Haw-
ley Pulp & Paper company.
One of the workmen, Edward Surfus,
in digging where the house formerly
stood, brought to light an English
shilling of the date of 1901, bearing
the name and profile of George III; a
silver dime of 1886; several metal but
tons of a fashion of long ago, and a
copper and brass vase. An old sword,
thought to have been carried by DR..
Mclaughlin, it was found had been
used as a stove poker by the family re-
siding next door to the old Mclaughlin
house for a long time.
These relics will be preserved, and
if the house is bought by the city and
made museum, as the plan is, they
will be added to the collection of Nc
Loughlin relics which it is hoped to
form here.

SACRAMENTO AGAIN RAMPANT
Levee Bursts and Water Floods City
of Tehama.

Redding, CAL, Feb. 4.-The flood
burden was shifted today from Shasta
county to Tehama county. The crest
of the wave reached Red Bluff at noon,
when the river stood at 80 feet six
inches, more than two feet higher than
ever before.
The levee north of the town of Teha-
ma broke and water ran six feet deep
through the main street and was 16
inches deep in the railroad depot.
Every house in the town was flooded
ard occupants fled to higher ground.
A mile of Southern Pacific track at
Tehama was washed away.
Division Superintendent Sherman,
on a special train, left Red Bluff at 4
o'clock to relieve the people of Tehama
as far as possible. The river has been
falling at Tehama since noon and the
worst is over.

HISTORIC RELIC FOUND.
Napoleon's Famous Charger, Vizier,
Is in Museum.

Paris, Feb. "a straw-stuffed
white horse, which has been found in
the cellar of the Louvre, turns out to
be Napoleon's famous charger Vizier,
presented to him by the Sultan of Tur-
key. An examination of the records
shows that the horse died in 1926 on
the estate of De Chaulaere, the empe-
ror's equerry. The latter was forced
to flee for a political crime and his
effects were sold.
Napoleon's horse, which had been
stuffed was acquired by an English
man, D. W. Clarke, who presented it
to M. J. Graves, of Manchester, who
in turn donated it to the Manchester
Natural History society. At the dis
solution of the society in 1868 the
horse was forwarded to Napoleon III
and was relegated to the cellars of the
Louvre. 1t was forgotten during the
critical period preceding the downfall
of the second empire.

REJECTS ANTi-JAP BILL.
California Will Not Bar Alien Land
Owners and Their Capital.

Sacramento, CAL, Feb. 4.-After a
debate extending from II a. m. to p.
m. today, the assembly rejected the
bill drawn by Drew, barring aliens
from ownership of land in California,
by vote of 4S to %. The bill was
amended at the request of President
Roosevelt and Secretary Root SO that
the clause applying it to japanese only
was eliminated, making it apply to all
aliens, but the measure aroused such
storm of opposition that long before
the debate was closed by Drew it was
apparent that the measure would be
defeated.
The result of today's contest is re-
garded as fair test of the relative
strength of the two factions in the as
sembly and as forehsadowing the de-
feat of all measures that would tend to
embarrass the National government in
its relations with Japan.
In substance the opposition to it was
more that it would drive at least bill
lion dollars of foreign capital out of
the state than that it might jeopardize
the present friendly relations with ia
pan.
The proponents of the bill contended
that the state was being overrun by
thrifty japanese who were gradually
gaining an impregnabe position as
landowners and whose government was
trying to dictate to California regard
ing legislation.

Trust Can't Sue Debtors,

Washington, Feb. 3.-The case of
the Continental Wall Paper company
VS.. Lewis VOight, of Cincinnati, was
today decided by the Supreme court in
Voight's favor. The suit was brought
by the company on debt of $50, 600,
the payment of which was resisted on
the ground that the paper company is
a trust. In effect the decision holds
that an admitted trust organized con-
trary to the Sherman antitrust law
cannot use the courts to collect debts.

Sacramento, Feb. 5.-With the de
feat in the lower house today of John
sons two bills prohibiting aliens from
being members of boards of directors
and restricting them in residence dis
tricts at the option of boards Of super.
visors, followed by the unexpected pas
sage of third bill segregating Japa-
nese school children in separate schools
along with Chinese, Coreans and other
Asiatics, regarded as the most often
sive measure of all, President Roc Sc
welt again has taken hand in the
anti-Japanese legislation in the state
Legislature, which for the last week
has drawn international attention to
California.
Hardly had the bill passed before
Governor Gillett received the following
message from the president:
"Your kind letter just received.
What is the rumor that the California
Legislature has passed bill excluding
the japanese children from the public
schools? This is the most offensive
bill of all, and in my judgment is
clearly unconstitutional and we should
at once have to test it in the courts.
Can it be stopped in the Legislature or
by veto?'
The governar at once sent a reply,
the nature of which he declines at this
time to make public and requested of
the president an immediate answer.
Pending the receipt of another tele-
gram from the president, the governor
declined tonight to discuss the action
of the assembly today.
The bill passed today, which was one
of three anti-Japanese measures intro
duced by Grove l.. johnson, places the
japanese in the same classification.
with other Asiatics and inserts the
word Japanese" in the present state
statute providing for the segregation
in separate schools of "Mongolian"
children. BY this action the lower
house of the California Legislature has
taken the step which the board Of edu-
cation of San Francisco intended to
take two years ago, but which was
dropped after the board and the then
mayor, Eugene E. Schmitz, were
called to Washington and had several
long conferences with the president.
