Main Points of the
Ratified Treaty
With the Japanese

WASHINGTON, February 24.-The
new Japanese treaty recently signed
by Secretary Knox and Baron Uchida
was ratified tonight by the United
States Senate.
The objection to the convention has
consistently been that it did not
throw sufficient safeguards around the
immigration of Japanese to the Unit
ed States.
President Taft personally pushed
the ratification of the treaty by his
assurances to the governor of Cali
fornia that the question of immigra
ton was effectively covered by the
Japanese declaration conceding the
right of the United States to pass any
laws it sees fit.
The Western senators, who had con-
tinuously opposed the treaty, reluct.
antly voted for 1t, it is understood,
while not surrendering any of their
opinion that grave consequences might
ensue from this peculiar document.
The sole basis for the belief that i'm
migration is safeguarded is the per-
sonal statement for his government of
Baron Uchida.
1t is admitted generally that an ele-
ment that aided the President largely
in obtaining action was the support
given the treaty by Senators Perkins
and Flint of California.
The treaty comprises eighteen ar

Especial Correspondence of The Starr
SAN FRANCISCO, February "a
Never has San Francisco witnessed
such 'get-together" spirit as is seen
now-unless possibly the time Of the
fire and earthquake be excepted.
Petty differences which have often
hampered the doing of big things in
San Francisco in the past seem to
{ have disappeared to an unusual ex-
tent, and in the terrific fight carried
on by the Washington delegation for
the Panama-Pacific Exposition, has
been shown what can really be accom-
plished by united effort. Now that
the ball has started every effort will
be made to continue its course of roll
ing up enthusiasm and fighting spirit
for the fair.
Tomorrow will be given over to a
celebration in San Francisco, at which
time the Washington fighters will be
officially welcomed by the populace.
Stores will close, all business win be
suspended while the parade winds
through the principal streets of the
city, and the reception and speeches
are held in Union Square. Afterward
will come banquets and evening re-
ceptions-and then hard work.
The two big things to be decided
before much can be done are-Who
will be president, and where will the
fair site be located? These things

previous letters. Suffice to say here
that it is more than likely that both
these questions will be settled be-
fore three weeks have passed.
The Boosting.
A striking evidence of the Boost"
spirit prevailing is the Home Industry
Week just ending. A league of bust
ness men are promoting home indus
tries, carrying on an educational cam
paign to let people know what goods
are manufactured In California, ac-
quainting them with the names, and
prevailing upon housewives to ask for
California-made goods in preference to
those made elsewhere.
Wonderful progress has been made
by the Home Industry League. Some
months ago a home industry exhibit
was attended by nearly $4,000 people.
A like number visited the same exhibit
in Oakland, and now has come the
latest feature, the joining of whole
city in this movement.
Practically all the big stores, and
hundreds of small stores in town
pledged themselves to show nothing
but California-made goods in their
windows for one week. Larger stores
not only showed the goods but in
stalled machinery and miniature fac
tories and showed how the goods were

LORIMER PLEA MOVES
THE F|E SENATE TO TEARS
equaled special pea.

equaled special pea.
In a clear, bell-like voice Lorimer
told the story of these Democratic
votes and the causes. No prettier and
more telling batch of human nature
stories ever appealed to an audience
of any kind.
One was of a friendship with
"Hinky Dink" Kenna when the two
were newsboys and bootblacks in the
Chicago streets and "Hinky Dink''
had saved the younger newsboy from
the tyranny of tough newsboy bully
and redeemed for him the papers that
the tyrant had destroyed for $3.50.
At this period the amiable Lorimer
turned like a wounded leopard upon
Senator Root and with fire flashing
from his ordinarily deerlike eyes
shouted:
"a sum which the immaculate SEN
ator from New York may look upon
with derision and scorn, but which
meant more to me in that scanty hour
than the vast figures of the transac-
lions he has handled for colossal
wealth"
Root leaned upon his hands and said
nothing.
Called "Father" by Hebrews.
Lorimer linked with himself another
Democratic votor by reason of coming
to that voters help at time when nis
family and himself were literally suf-
fering for food and clothing.
He told of Manuel Abraham, the Jew
(made much of by the prosecution),
who had come to love him by reason Of
the fact that when Lorimer was a
street car conductor and the other
conductors had been kicking Abra-
hams pack off the car platforms, Lori
mer had carried it always to the end
of the line and became known as the
one conductor who would carry the
Hebrews packs. Afterward he or
ganized the Hebrew districts and Sc
cured for them the right to vote with
ut mistreatment.

brew quarter" said he, mot as Con-
gresham Lorimer, not as Senator
Lorimer, but as The Father'-with all
that beautiful name implies among
these reverent people"
Once more the accused senator turn
ed with sudden fury to Elihu Root;
Does the great senator from New
York know what that means? Is there
any class of struggling people in New
York who call him The Father?'"
Moves Tlllman to Tears.
Through the long list Lorimer swept

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-What-
ever the news may be, the days SEN
,sation at the capitol was Lorimers
speech in his own defense.
Incidentally, Lorimer had the great
est crowd of the Sixty-first Congress-
Standing room in the galleries and
on the floor of the Senate and the
crowds outside packed four deep as
far in the Senate corridors as an op.
en- door could carry the sound of the
speakers voice.
1t emptied the House to a bare
handful, and even Speaker Cannon
did not remain to preside over them
Lorimer's speech richly fulfilled the
expectation of the crowd Whether it
made any profound impression on the
dignified and intellectual Senators
cannot be stated.
Lorimer's name has been linked for
a decade with political corruption in
Chicago. The evidence against him N
the Senate is powerful, and some of
the ablest Senators in America, sit
ting as his judges, have pronounced
eloquent and logical verdicts against
him. Other eloquent Senators have

His Appeal stlrs Hearts.
But when the genial-mannered,
baby-faced statesman took his seat
today after his five hours of sustained
appeal, it would have been dangerous
to those who opposed him to have
committed his cause then and there
to a vote Of senators and spectators.
There seemed to be neither anger
nor resentment in his heart-a pa
tient saint suffering political martyr
dom with a srlile. He spoke today
from the seat of Taliaffero Of Flori-
da-one of the railroad Senators.
Bailey, his powerful defender, sat d.
rectly behind him, and by Bailey
side was the strong, grim visage of
old Ben Tillman, broken and dropping
in illness, but rugged and compelling
still. Straight across the aisle from
Lorimer sat Beverage, who had fay
ed him on yesterday, and to the left
sat Elihu Root, against whom, as It
afterwards developed, all the caldrons
of the gentle Lorimer's private re-
sentiment surged and rolled in bitter
mss and wrath.
Made Friends as Newsboy.
Lorimer spoke with notes, but with.
out manuscript, and framed the most
effective part of his argument around
the question. "Why lid the Democrats
vote for me?"
By far the most effective part OF
the ive-hour appeal revolved around
this question. This was the jury mas

seemingly on the verge of an unlaw- ful transaction to entrap him.
 When he was brought to my office he was wise enough to realize that the chances for his escape were very small. When questioned he confessed everything and promised to plead guilty.
 When his case came up in the United States court ex-Judge Stuart was his counsel He was a criminal lawyer of considerable ability. about seventy-ive years of age He had for many years and was the trusted friend and adviser of many of the most notorious criminals of that day. Tall, raw-boned, solemn faced and deeply sentimental, he could shed croc- edile tears copiously while making a plea for his client. I have often been filled with wonderment at the effect produced upon the minds of jurors by this great actor. His tragic voice, his long gray locks and fearful eyes, had an astonishing effect and ire quently brought tears even to the eyes of the judge and the stony hearted lawyers engaged in the prose cution, who were sometimes seen to turn their heads during the dramatic scenes enacted by the old hypocrite while engaged in defending his client.
 The evidence introduced in the Russian engraver's case was so strong and overwhelming that anything like successful defense upon legal grounds appeared quite impossible Stuart had been at my office and made an effort to secure the Russians re- lease on his promise to assist in cap turing other counterfeiters. But I turned the proposition down and his counsel had said that his client would plead guilty and throw himself upon the mercy of the court. When the case was brought to trial Judge Stuart informed me that his client had changed his mind and had con- eluded to stand trial He said the Russian had disregarded his advice and he did not think there was any chance of saving him.
 When the case was called and the jury was organized, I saw they were a choice selection of philanthropists. The testimony produced on the trial was more than sufficient to convict; there did not seem to be even a shadow of chance for the prisoners
