CALIFORNIA KILLS
ANTI-JAPANESE MEASURE
After an Ail-day's Debate and BY
Vote of 4s to 2s--BeIieved That
All Similar Legislation VIII
Fail Also,

Sacramento, Cal. Feb. AFTER a
debate extending from eleven o'clock
yesterday morning until $3.50 p. M, the
assembly by vote Of As to 2S rejected
the bill drawn by A. NJ. Drew barring
aliens from ownership Of land in Calf
fornia. The bill had been amended
at the request Of President Roosevelt
and Secretary Root SO that the clause
applying it to Japanese only was elim-
mated, making tho bill apply to all
alters, but the measure aroused such q
storm Of opposition that long before the
debate was closed by Mr.. Drew it was
apparent that the measure would be
defeated.
The result of yesterdays contest Is
considered a fair test Of the relative
strength of the two factions in the as.
sembly and as foreshadowing the de-
feat of all measures that would tend to
embarrass the national government in

Many Hundreds Rushed For

ONE MAN IS NOW MISSING
Jewish Synagogue Caught Fire This
Morning When Audience Was Witness
Messing Stately Ceremonial to the
Dead--Fire Loss Was $4,000.

Boston, Feb. 4.--when fire broke out
in the Jewish synagogue, the Temple Of
Sharai, this morning a wild panic ensued
and the crowd rushed for the exits.
There were hundreds of people present
witnessing the stately ceremonial service
for the dead when the cry Of fire rang
out. At once the crowd surged toward
the doors and the lives of many women
and children we're imperiled as the strong
er ones in the congregation made their
rough fight for safety. But the mass
of the people escaped without serious
injury.
Up to this afternoon, only one person
was reported to be missing A. Solomon,
who was the sexton OF the temple, had
not been accounted for, and It was
thought probable that he perished in
the debris Of the burning building. The
edifice was not burned down, but was
damaged to the extent OF $4,000 A
search is being made in the ruins for the
remains Of Solomon.

Their clamor attracted the attention
Of Clerk Fogarty Of Chief Jophanus II.
Whitney's department, who was at work
in room 20, He started for the corridor
to learn the cause, AS he passed the
glass door TO the chiefs private room
he saw the flames reflected through il.
He burst into the apartment. Waste
paper In several baskets was blazing,
while the chiefs roll top desk formed
the center Of a bonfire about and from
which the fire was leaping in tongues
that destroyed several pictures on the
walls and a map or two.
Mr.. Fogarty grabbed an ice water tank
and deluged one OF the waste paper bas-
kets and, running back into the main
Office, secured fire extinguisher, with
which he saturated everything that was
blazing.
The loss viii be in the vicinity OF
800. The cause of the fire is a mys-
terry, although it is explained there are
so many wires running to the desk that
it may possibly have been due to de-
feet in one Of these.
