tween Birmingham and Selma which

Engineer Tavel, perhaps many of the
passengers on the train would have
been killed or MANNED.

rocks through the coaches and sew
eral OF the passengers narrowly escap-
ed being injured.
Tram No. 81 was coming towards
Selma at speed of about thirty miles
an hour when 1t was passing Brant-
10y station and Engineer Tavel dis
covered that the switch had been
thrown and he was going into side
track. He quickly reversed the en-
glne and applied the air brakes. The
train stopped just q short distance
from a long string OF freight cars on
the side track. AS the train was
stopped number OF rocks was thrown
at 1t from the field close by.
An effort was made by members Of
the train crew to catch those who at
tempted to wreck the train and who
threw the rocks ct II but thsy were
Railroad detectives are at work on
the case and hope to soon arrest those
who threw the switch and attempted

GASHES IN NECK
SUGGEST SUICIDE
Body of John K. Ward Dis
covered by Woman in Dark
Path in Clayton Street

In, dark and brush covered byway
of John X. Ward, blacksmith of 1915
Valencia street, was discovered last
night a 7:30 o'clock by Mrs. John Hall,
2025 Fulton street.
The body lay in a pool of blood
which flowed from five deep gashes in
the neck, inflicted, the police believe.
with suicidal intent. Apparently the
gashes were made with a razor but
Detective J. Lord and Policeman w. c.
Burns could find no razor, although
they made thorough search with LAM
terms 1t was exceedingly dark, how
ever. and further search for the instru-
ment will be made this morning.
q Although it is believed that Ward
committed suicide. failure to find the
razor has attached a certain element of
mystery TO his death, which, apparent :
ly. had occurred five hours prior to the
discovery of tine body This fact played
an important part in creating the
theory of the police that death was
suicidal. AS the locality in which the
body was found is well populated the
police secuted any idea of murder Had
an attempt to murder been made at
tendant outcries would have been
heard.
In Wards pockets were found sew
eral union cards. a card of membership
in the odd Fellows and several trinkets.
An empty wallet was also found. To
support the suicide theory the police
say that Ward was out of employment
and penniless.

TWO YOUNG HUNTERS
NARROWED ON A ROCK
Sausalito Boys Are Rescued by
Police Patrol Boat

James Vincent, son of Sausalito
hotelman, and Harry Brown, another
young boy of Sausalito, were rescued
from a rock off Strawberry point yes
terday afternoon by the San Francisco
police patrol boat. The boys went
hunting for ducks Saturday morning in
a small skiff.
The boat became filled with water
during the afternoon and the lads were
unable to row ashore. The heavy wind
and sea drove the small craft toward
Strawberry point and finally dashed it
on the rocks. The boys were able to
climb the rocks, and they were COM
PEELED to stay there Saturday night
without food or shelter.
Word was received by the harbor
police yesterday of the absence of the
two boys, and the patrol boat was sent
in search of them. Vincent and Brown
were in a weakened condition when
rescued. and We're taken to their homes
in Sausalito.

CALL HEADQUARTERS CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE BUILDING. SACRA-
MENTO. Jan. 3L-Strong opposition is
developing in the assembly against the
no TO restrict the rights of aliens in
acquiring real estate. With President
Roosevelt and Governor Gillett frown-
ing on legislation that is aimed direct
~ at the Japanese, the opponents of
the bill feel well entrenched.
The southern California delegation is
almost a unit in opposing the Drew
bill and several chambers of commerce
opposition to such legislation on the
ground that it is very apt TO seriously
injure the commerce of California
The present bill before the assembly
is practically the same as the Okla
homa act. While Governor Gillett in
his message on the subject suggeste ed
the Oklahoma act as better than the
Drew bill, he insists that he did not
intend the suggestion to be taken as
any indication that he would sign the
bill in the event of its ever reaching
him.
Speaker p A Stanton, who halls
from Los Angeles. is strongly opposed
10 any anti-alien legislation and is
striving TO block obnoxious measures
If possible. He thinks there will be a
good majority against the Drew bill
when it comes up for action Wednes-
day morning
The judiciary committee at its meet
ing yesterday considered the Oklahoma
amendment TO the Drew bill and de-
cided to report it out tomorrow with
a recommendation that it pass.
While the judiciary committee de-
cided to return the bill with a favor
of the committee are opposed to anti
Japanese legislation and viii oppose
the measure when IL is up for consid-
Grafton on the floor.

Mrs. Tuckerman was the mother of

DIDN'T KNOW
Coffee Was the Cause

Many daily habits, particularly OF
eating and drinking. are formed by
following our elders.
In this way i'll health is often
fastened upon children. A Ga. lady
says:
Il had been allowed to drink coffee
ever since 1 can remember, but even
as child l had a weak stomach which
frequently refused to retain food.
The taste of coffee was in my
mouth all the time and was, as L found
out later, the cause of the stomach
rebelling against food.
Il now see that it was only from
following the example of my elders
that ] formed and continued the miser-
able habit Of drinking coffee. My di-
gestion remained poor. nerves unstrung.
frequent headache, and yet / did not
suspect the true cause.
Another trouble was a bad muddy
complexion for which 1 spent time and
money for creams, massaging. etc.
without any results.
After | was married / was asked
to try Postum, and would you believe
it, I, an old coffee topper, took to Pos
tum from the very first. We made it
right-according to directions on the
pkg. and it had most delicate
flavor and l at once quit coffee, with
the happiest results.

skin, fine digestion and haven't had a
headache in over two years"

night that there need be no apprehen-
sion about undue delay in the lower
house He is in accord with the
changes proposed by Senator Wright in
the upper house and, in fact, thinks
they will strengthen the bill materially.
FIGHT CENTERS IN HOUSE
The attack on the bill In the house
and there will be an attack-will be a
flank movement. designed to defeat the
purposes of direct primaries by provid-
ing that if no candidate receives 40 per
cent of the popular vote the nomination
shall be thrown into convention.
The arguments advanced in favor OF
this proposition are plausible, but they
will not bear investigation in the light
of -the experience in other direct phi
mary states And Illinois, which en-
acted a direct primary law drawn on
those lines, threw it up in disgust and
replaced it with a law absolutely elm
mating the convention from participa-
tion in the nomination of partisan can
didates for public office. Stanton said
tonight:
The people have been promised that
they should have direct primary cleo
tion law. And they shall have il. pure
in principle as well as In name.
Il am in no wise concerned about the
machinery of direct primary election
law. but I am concerned about preserv-
ing to the people the right to vote di-
rectly for their partisan candidates.
And l am opposed to anything in the
way of amendment that viii abridge
that right or prevent the people from
fully enjoying it,

words strong enough to character
ize the violation of patriotic duty
which would be involved in
causeless and objectless enactment
constituting a serious affront to
friendly nation and certain to
plunge the entire union into the
doubtful condition or enmity to d
great and hitherto most friendly
power which is our neighbor upon
the Pacific ELIHU ROOT.
ITO this memorandum have but
little to add. The United States gov
eminent has no objection to the en-
actment OF law in California as re-
CARDS the rights of aliens to hold real
estate provided that the suggestions
of the secretary of state are complied
with as contained in the above mem
orandum. Such a law would not be in
any substantial respect different from
similar laws that have been passed in
other states. Many roreign countries,
including Japan itself have similar
laws.
But for the reasons set forth in Mr.
Roots memorandum the federal gov
eminent would most emphatically OBJ
ject to the passage of the proposed
school legislation. and would also OBJ
ject TO legislation such as the news
papers describe as having been pro-
posed to force the Japanese to live in
separate residential quarters.
II most earnestly trust that for the
reasons sex forth in Mr. Roots memo-
randum, and for the reasons set forth in
my previous kilograms and letter, none
of the Objectionable proposed legisla-
ton VIII be enacted into law.
With high appreciation of your cour-
tesy, believe me, sincerely yours,

Condition Worse and Great
Anxiety Felt by Party

PORTLAND. Ore. Jan. Ex-Governor
S. G. Cosgrove of Washington left Port
land for California at 1880 o'clock this
morning in private car attached to the
Southern Pacific train. Cosgrove has

condition, and Mrs. Cosgrove felt that
1t would be inadvisable to permit her
husband to be interviewed during his

Is much worse than when he left Paso
Robes a fortnight ago. and that all
newspapers and other means by which
he would learn anything in connection
with Washington politics are withheld
from him.
