THE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1907. 3 A 1 iL GREETS THE GREAT JOHN L Prelate and Pugilist Exchange Stories and Friendly Greeting. GIBBONS ADMIRES FIGHTER Sulllvnn Finds Better Audience for Monologue Than Hears Him at Theater Rememhers Kllraln a Defeated Opponent. BALTIMORE. Md., Fob. (Spe cial.) By appointment John L. Sulli van was received by Cardinal Gibbons this afternoon and for half an hour the head of the Catholic Church In Amer ica and the former fisticuff champion of the world entertained each other with stories and anecdotes. "I'm glad to meet you," was the cardinal's greeting. "You're a gentle man I've heard a lot about." The redoubtable took up the conver sational end of the meeting and told the Cardinal some of his monologue stories which, he said, were above his auuience in the theater last night. The Cardinal, however, caught on and was much amused and then brought in Father Oavan to look at the giant. "What broad shoulders you have, Mr. Sullivan." exclaimed the Cardinal, in unconcealed admiration." Oh, yes: but not so much." said the cx-champlon. who then let his emi nence feel his muscles. "By the way," said the Cardinal, "there used to be a man of some fame around here Jake Kllraln; did you know him?" Mr. Sullivan smiled and said: "Yes. 1 met him and licked him." As the party passed out, the Cardi nal shook hRnds again with the ex ehamplon and said: "Well, good-bye and God bless you." "Same to you," thundered John L. GRDWRESTiVEURDER CURB HOUSE DEMOCRATS DEMAND LIBERTY OF DEBATE. Filibustering Wastes Time on Sundrj Civil Bill Tawney Predicts Deficit Next Year. WASHINGTON. Feb. 21. The sundry civil appropriation bill was considered by the House today. By a vote .of 1S5 to 41 general debate was closed and the bill was taken up under the five-minute rule. Forty pages had been read when Taw ney again asked unanimous consent that the first reading be dispensed with, but objection was made by Clark of Florida, and the clerk resumed his reading with as much rapidity as he could command. The bill contained 198 pages, and. as no amendments could be offered on the first reading, the House aws compelled to lis ten to the clerk's voice for about three hours.. When SO pages of the bill had been read Griggs of Georgia moved that the further reading be suspended. Sulzer, who com pelled the first reading of the bill, agreed to this, but Tawney turned the tables by objecting and the reading of the bill was resumed. Speaker Cannon, apparently much dis pleased, held an animated conversation with Clark of Missouri, insisting that the near approach of adjournment did not warrant such a waste of time. At 2:50 o'clock the reading was completed. Taw ney startled the House as he told to what lengths the appropriations for this Con gress had gone, and Impressively said that a rough estimate of the appropria tions already made and to be made showed tht this last session of the Fifty ninth Congress would amount up to $1.0K, 244.4SS, the largest by many millions of any session. He said If next year's reve nues did not Increase the Treasury of the United States would face a defi ciency of $100,000,000 at the close of the llscal year 1S8. He appealed to the pa triotism of the House to do nothing to increase the vast aggregate. The House entered on consideration of Hie bill under the live-minute rule. Sulzer made a bitter complaint of the refusal to Clark or the privilege of making a thirty-minute speech on the bill, even going so far as to serve notice that "unless fairer consideration was ac corded the minority, the bill would still be on the ways at noon March 4." That Sulzer was not without support was soon made evident by a number of points of order made by Clark. When the paragraphs appropriating t00 for the protection of Casa Grande ruins in Pinal County. Arizona, was reached. Sulzer spoke of the skeletons found In those ruins and said: "Here J300 is appropriated for the erection of a lot of skeletons In the Smithsonian Institution, while the needy employes of the Government, the life saving service and other branches, are knocking at the doors for an Increase of salary. I am for the living, not for a lot of people who lived In the Paleozoic age, and the $3000 would help out a lot of people." Mann of Illinois offered an amendment, which was adopted, appropriating iSOOO to enable the Interstate Commerce Com mission to Investigate block signal sys tems and appliances for the automatic control of railway trains. The House passed a number of bills and resolutions, including one calling on the Secretary of the Navy for Informa tion regarding repairs being made on the battleship Louisiana, and another enlarg ing the act relating to shunghai-ing. The river and harbor bill was sent to conference. NEW TREATY WITH JAPAN Aokl and Root Confer on Terms of Coolie Exclusion. WASHINGTON, Feb. 21. Viscount Aokl called at the State Department today to discuss with Secretary Root the pro gramme to be followed in conducting ne gotiations In forming a treaty relating to the restriction of Japanese coolie im migration in the United States. As the Ambassador had been fully informed of all the steps leading to the passage of the immigration act and. in fact, had really suggested the adoption of measures to exclude Japanese without passports, he was not disposed to criticise adversely what should be done by Congress, and it Is believed that before the assembling of the next Congress the new convention will be ready for consideration of the measure. CHANGE STATE SCHOOL IjAW Japanese A-rrecment Makes Restric tion Needed in California. SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 21. City and County Attorney Burke, in discussing the Japanese school case today, as altered by the new agreement, paid: "If the Japanese children over 16 years of age are to be kept out of our public schools, statute 1662 of the civil code will have to be repealed by the Legislature "The statute makes provision that all children between the ages of 6 and 21 shall be allowed to enter our public schools, except for certain reasons. In case the Japanese are allowed to enter our general schools, a new statute will have to be framed If the school board wishes to keep those over 16 years of age out of the schools. "The statute also provides that In case an Oriental school is provided the chil dren of the people so specified shall at tend no other. Hence the present Orien tal school must be abolished to allow the Japanese to enter our schools. But if the Oriental school is not abolished, then children so specified must attend that school and no other. The statute specifies children of Mongolian descent, and we shall Insist until proved the Japanese are not of Mongolian descent." No Connection With Japan. WASHINGTON Feb. 21. It was stat ed at the White House today that the conference held there yesterday be tween the President, Secretary Met calf and the General Board of the Navy, had no bearing upon the rela tions between the United tates and Japan, and the advisability of an in crease of the naval strength in Pacific waters. The statement was made that the name of Japan was not mentioned during the discussion. The conference It was further stated had to do in part with the general question of the per sonnel of the Navy and other kindred matters.
