GMELlcH DECLARED ELECTED LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR BY
 MISSOURI LEGISLATURE.
PLACES HIS OFFICIAL PLURALITY AT TT
Recount Committee Made But One Re port Giving sthe Result of Their Work = Everybody Rejoices That Contest Is Over-Now for the Busi. ness of the Session.

Jefferson City, Mo, Feb. 3.--Jacob F. Gmelich, Republican, was declared elected by the assembly in joint ses. sion Monday after the recount com mittee had reported that Gmelich had received 346.642 votes as against 346.- 465 votes for William R. Painter, Dem ocrat.
 The report of the committee set out that on the face of the original re- turns Gmelich had been elected by 30 votes and on the face of the amend ed returns Painter had been elected by 27 votes but the legislature had provided for the recount of the ballots of St. Louis and certain precincts in other counties of the state and that on the recount more than 2,200 ballots had been rejected because of being improperly initialed about equally di- vided between the candidates but that when Is precincts of the Nineteenth ward of St. Louis was reached many ballots were found to have been i'm properly initialed and the committee disagreed The Democrats contended
 
 that not counting such votes would have given Painter majority. but since no fraud had been found and Painter had declared he did not want the office if not shown to have been fairly elected. the Democrats yielded to the Republicans and agreed that Gmelich had been elected.
 The joint assembly did not vote on the question as the law does not re- quire vote when such report is made.
 The Missouri. senate Monday adopt ed a resolution providing for an in vestigation of the charges of the Rev J. N Crutcher of Kansas City, mem. Der of the state board of charities and corrections, against the manage. ment of the Confederate home at Hig ginsvilie.

Sacramento, Cal Feb. 3-While the letter of President Roosevelt to the governor regarding the Japanese ques- ton made a deep impression upon the legislature, the leading two anti-Jap- anese members of the assembly Mon day declared that they would push their measures to a vote as soon as possible.
 Assemblyman A. NJ. Drew of Fresno (the famous raisin producing section, where there are many Japanese, who had already amended his anti-alien bill as required by the national admins tration so that the clause discriminat Ing against the Japanese was elimi- mated. took exception to the letter in. closed by the president, written by Secretary of State Root, in which 1t was said the federal government was opposed to all legislation directed against aliens. Japanese or others.
 Mir. Drew declared that it was to the interest of California to protect her soil from an invasion of aliens from the far shores of the Pacific" who would always remain citizens of that country and whom Americans did not welcome
 The judiciary committee rendered Monday report favoring the passage of the Drew measure without change and 1t was made special order of business for Wednesday to take pre- cedence over the Johnson bills deny ing Japanese the right to be members of corporations and segregating them not only in the schools, as attempted by San Francisco board of education two years ago. but also in residential districts at the option of boards of supervisors.
 An attempt was made to secure the further delay of such legislation by J. P. Transue and Walter Leeds of Los Angeles, but this fell through by two-thirds vote. although number of those who voted Monday to bring the matter to vote on Wednesday will vote on final passage with the or ganization which is opposed to all of the measures affecting Japanese.

BY 13-YEAR-OLD GIRL

New York, July 2.-Alice Holzer'
the 13-year-old daughter of Mrs. Ag-
mes Holzer. of st. Louis, who is visit
ing relatives here, was the cause OF
such excitement in the Bronx yester-
day that it was not until today that
the population recovered itself. AL
ices fondness for babies is so strong
that she could not restrain herself
when she saw a pretty little infant
sleeping in a go-cart in front of a
store in the Bronx, and she walked
off with the infant. When the moth
er came out of the store she set up a
cry that her child had been kidnap-
ped. the neighborhood was aroused,
police reserves from several stations
were put on the case. Newspapers
published extra editions, detailing re-
porters on the case. Before the day
was over hundreds of men and wo-
men became volunteer searchers, and
every baby and its pOssessor was
scrutinized. Later in the evening
Alice Holzer was found by a woman
who had read the papers, at a point
far removed from where the child
was taken. Alice could not explain
why she had taken the baby except
that she had always wanted one, anc
her father had jokingly said he would
steal her one sometime.
