The 12-year-old daughter of John
Snyder, Bernice by name, had her
first glimpse of lhe outside world last
week, in her first journey from home
to Centralia, to enter the Dunkard
school at that place. Her home has
been in the Big Bottom country, 100
miles from other Inhabitants on the
slope of Mount Rainier, ard three
days drive from Morton, terminus OF
the Tacoma and Great Eastern. Her
mother had been immured ever since
the birth of Bernice. The poor girl
had never heard a steam whistle nor
the tone of a piano, never seen q frame
building, a locomotive, nor modern
wagon. She knew nothing of cleo
trio lights, the wireless or even the
ordinary telegraph, automobile or
street-cars. She ate dinner from a
table laid with Il white cloth for
the first time. Clad in u rough dress
and a dunkard poke bonnet and
heavy rawhide boots, she peered anx-
iously about the depot, as some of
these mysteries were unfolded to her
and started like wild deer at every
noise until the journey was resumed.

A SENSIBLE VIEW
BY EXCLUSION LEAGUE
THERE is NO NEED FOR HYsTER-
IcAL oUTeURsT
A Belief That Treaty Protects the Pa
cifie Coast

San Francisco. Feb 2S.-The Asiatic
Exclusion league, through Secretary
Yoell. issued statement tonight on
the position regarding the proposed new
japanese treaty.
THE question of the greatest impor-
lance TO California and the Pacific
coast as well as to secure the welfare
of the whole country says the state
ment. lis the fact that the treaty should
contain no provisions, either specific or
implied whereby the United States VIII
be in any manner hampered in the en-
actment of such legislation on the sub
iect of immigration as will adequately
protect our people and preserve the ma
ton.
The United states is part of the
treaty making power, and the league
expects that our senators in Washing
ton Will be on their guard against any
thing that would have a tendency to
ieopardize the interests of California.
The position of the league is plain
or this question. We do not desire TO
be dependent upon the honor of Japan
or any foreign nation, nor do we want
their consent as TO how W. should
formulate our immigration policy. We
contend that the United States as a
sovereign nation has the right TO say
who shall be or who shall not be admit
ted to our shores, regardless of the am
bilious desires and wishes of any other
power on earth.
This question, like every other
weighty matter, must be dealt with
from the standpoint of calm. Hyster-
ical Outbursts and sensational state
ments in instances like this 90 more
harm than good"
After suggesting that il might be
wise to defer protesting against the
treaty until the convention has been
published and referring to the assur-
ances of Senators Flint and Perkins
that the interests of California and the
Pacific coast are amply protected and
the intended compact is better than
the Gresham treaty of 1894" the state
ment concludes:
1.-THE 'gentlemen's agreement has
been fairly well kept by Japan, with the
exception of the importation of their
women. who have been coming here in
large numbers but this matter viii be
easily attended 10 through the immi-
grafton authorities"

LOR|MER'S OPPONENTS
BALk At A VOTE
CASE NOT TO BE DISPOSED OF
THIS SESSION.
Senator Beverage Has Not concIud-
ed His Remarks.

Washington, Feb. 23.-No vote was
taken on the Lorimer case in the
senate today. nor could a date for
such vote be fixed.
Senator Beverage of Indiana
spoke for four hours. but did not
conclude. He announced that he
would resume tomorrow.
With congress within eight days
of enforced adjournment and with
its calendar crowded with important
measures. including numerous appro-
priation bills. the senate adjourned
in anything but an agreeable state
of mind.
Ordinarily there would have been
no objection to Mr.. Beveridges
course in announcing that he would
resume his speech tomorrow, but I'M
der the circumstances there were
many manifestations of Impotence.
Some of the senator's who support
Senator Lorimer went so far as to
charge a filibuster to prevent a vote
on the Lorimer case. but Mr.. Bev-
eridge and his friends resented this
charge
Il don't care q hang when we vote
after 1 get through he said to Sena
tor Gallinger on the floor just before
adjournment.
He insisted that he must have an
opportunity to conclude his speech,
which he promised to do tomorrow.
In his remarks today the Indiana
senator made somewhat extended
reference to Senator Lorimer's speech
of yesterday, warning senator's
against being carried away by SYM
pathy. He continued his analysis
of the testimony i'm the case with a
view of convincing the senate that
the senator from Illinois had pro-
cured his election through bribery.
He also charged that the committee
on privileges and elections had acted
with undue haste upon the evidence
i'm reaching it's verdict.
This allegation was made in con-
nection with a sharp colloquy with
Senator Depew He taxed the New
York senator with having failed to
read the testimony and in addition
intimated that the report which orig
inally was agreed to by the commit
tee on privileges and elections. was
not the same document that ultimate
ly was presented to the senate

ON THE FLOOR OF HOUSE
It Took a Hundred Repre-
sentatives to Keep the
Alaskan Delegate and
Wyoming Congressman
From Beating Each Other

Washington d. c., Feb. 23.-Another
bloodless battle was fought on the floor
of the house Of representatives late to-
day. II came during somewhat
heated debate on the bill for the
leasing of coal lands in Alaska
The lie was passed, and as the short
ugly word rang out. Delegate James
Wickersham of Alaska, made rush
for Representative Frank w. Mondell
of wyoming, the author of the coal land
leasing bill, who was seated at near
by fable
The big Alaskan's right arm shot
out twice in the direction of the gen
tleman from wyoming, but members
who surrounded the disputants at the
time say that both blows fell short.
The house was in an uprOar in an
instant. Several members hurled them
selves on Mr.. Wickersham; others were
struggling with Mr. Mondell who had
gained his feet and was making for MS
assailant Representative Foster Of
Vermont had taken Mr.. Wickersham by
the throat This added TO the uncon-
trOlled anger of the delegate and for a
moment diverted his attention toward
the would-be peacemaker.
Representative Sisson of Mississippi
was first TO reach Mr.. Mondell who
was endeavOring 10 raise the chair in
which he had been sitting to hurl it
at his antagonist Members rushed
toward the group from every part of
the chamber and soon there were near
~ a hundred men i'm the crowd about
the struggling Legislators
Meantime Representative Oimstead
of Pennsylvania, who was acting as
speaker. called upon the sargeant-at-
arms TO preserve order. Members. how
ever. had taken the matter in hand and
had succeeded in bringing both Mr..
Wiokersham and Mr.. MOndell TO a Ces-
satiOn of hOstilities.
When the room was fairly quiet, Mr..
Wickersham clamored for recognition.
Il want the record to show that | apol-
ogize to the house, but (his voice rose
TO shout) l also want it to show that
was called liar"
He sat down and Mr.. Mondell arose.
MY remark was not directed toward
the gentleman from Alaska" Mr.. Mon
dell said. And il was not uttered in
debate, but to a gentleman who stood
beside me. I reaiiZe, however. that |
should not have used the word here. or
anywhere. for that matter, and | apollo
gize to the house"
During The applause which followed
Mr.. MOndelrs statement Mr. Tawney
moved that the house adjourn. On a
standing vote the motion APPARENT
was carried, but the opponents of Alas
ka leasing bill demanded roll call.
Under the call, the motion to adjourn
was lost. and the leasing bill vas then
defeated. Isl to 81.

itary academy appropriation bill and

IMPROVED STATUS

FURTHER OBJECTION.

body on Tuesday by the president
But il appears to be in somewhat
improved position.
Senator Hale is said to have ex-
hibited no opposition to it at the
senator's, however, asked further time
to study the matter, and especially to
ascertain the sentiments of their con-
stituents, after they had time to I'M
derstand the nature of the treaty.
The immigration question is said
to have been the question most dis
cussed in the executive session this
afternoon. That the practical effect
of the treaty in that respect is not
at all what the people of the Pacific
coast have assumed il to be, and
that their fears are groundless, was
the essence of a telegram sent today
by President Taft to Governor John
son of California.
The president assured Governor
Johnson that the treaty and the oc-
companying documents are exactly
as they were explained to the COVER
nor by himself and the secretary of
state. and that there is no danger of
any relaxation of the recent restric-
tons upon the immigration of Jap
anese laborers.
