Cannot Offend Japan.
Washington; Feb. 2. No other
question is absorbing the concern of the
administration at this moment to the
same extent as are certain phases of the
anti-Japanese agitation in California.
The President has been in communlea
tion with many persons who should bo
thoroughly informed as to conditions on
the Pacific Coast. It Is admitted that a
systematic agitation has been in progress
on the Coast, but a significant feature
of its lack of strength was the fact that
the labor leaders had taken no promi
nent fart In it. It even has been stated
to the administration that the main
spring of the agitation was to be found
in fome of the great corporations that
hart fnund their' profitable business of
eoolle transportation threatened with de
struction by the success attending the
efforts of the administration to stop this
class of immigration.
Agitators Injure Own Cause.
For tin- fact .is that, in the opinion of
administration" officials, the negotiations
with Japan for a practically complete
closure of American ports to the entry
of Japanese laborers are jeopardized by
the excitement and utterances of certain
persons in California and by the mere
consideration of such resolutions as were
entertained yesterday by the Nevada
Legislature. Kven agreements already
reached, which are being carried out in
good faith by the Japanese government,
are regarded as endangered, in the sense
that the present agitation might very
naturally tend to abate the interest of
the Japanese officials in the execution
of their obligations.
It Is these, considerations that have
Influenced the President thali everything
possible should be done to prevent leg
islation by any state that would dis
criminate, against the Japanese as1 a
class distinct from other foreigners en
tering America.
Alien Land Laws Innocent.
There is no objection whatever by the
administration to laws prohibiting all
aliens from holding land In America.
For this Is now, under the revised stat
utes, the law in the District of Colum
bia and the territories and in some of
the state?. Indeed, there is a similar
law In Japan, and the government of
that country consequently could not re
gard It as anti-Japanese legislation if
adopted in California. . The President
has entire confidence in the people of
the Pacific Coast and Is curtain they
will do right In this matter.
The administration Is much pleased
with the tone of the speech of Premier
Komura in the Japanese Diet today, so
far as it touches upon the relations be
tween America and Ja,pan.
AXTI-JAP BILLS UP TODAY
Supporter Claim Majority for AH
Measures Proposed.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. ;. All of the
anti-Japanese bills introduced in the
California Legislature have been made
the special order of business in the As
sembly for tomorrow, and lively debates
may be anticipated.
The bill prohibiting aliens from own
ing land in the state has been amended
bv its author. Assemblyman Drew, of
Fresno County, so as not to specify
"aliens who .may not become citizens."
which made it apply only to Japanese
and Chinese, and now Is general In its
provisions. This change was made at
the sugcestion of President Roosevelt
and in its present form is not likely to
meet with the disapproval of the Na
tional Administration, should it become
a law. That it Is intended to bar the
Japanese especially from becoming the
owners of realty Is frankly admitted by
Mr. Drew, and this will be fully brought
Oiit in debate.
Antis Claim Majority.
The bills introduced by Assemblyman
drove I. Johnson, to prohibit aliens
from becoming directors in corporations
In this state and segregating the Japan

munities, will be rressed by their au
thof.- .who is tr
of thrt House,
favorably repor

The latter measure was
ported by the judiciary com-
mUtee today.
The attitude of the Assembly In regard
to these various measures Is uncertain.
A majority is claimed by those in favor
of anti-Japanese legislation, who predict
that all of the bills will pass. Those
opposed to the enactment of such radi
cal laws, however, declare that none will
get through, except possibly the alien
land bill.
Xevada Kven More Radical.

ture approving the proposed legislation
hostile to the Japanese passed the As

Aapoleon's Famous Charger, Vizier,
Stuffed AVlth Straw, Is
Found In Museum.
PARIS, Feb. 1. A straw-stuffed
white horse, which has been found in
the cellar of the Louvre, turns out to
be Napoleon's famous charger Vizier,
presented to him by the Sultan of Tur
key. An examination of the records
shows that the horse died in 1826 on
the estate of De Chaulaere, the Em
peror's equerry. The latter was forced
to flee for a political crime and his ef
fects were sold.
Napoleon's horse, which had been
stuffed, was acquired by an English
man, D. W. Clarke, who presented it to
M. J. Graves, of Manchester, who in
turn donated it to the Manchester Nat
ural History society. At the dissolu
tion of . the society In 1868 the horse
was forwarded to Napoleon III and was
relegated to the cellars of the Louvre.
It was forgotten during the critical
period preceding the downfall of the
Becond empire.
BLACK HAND IN PORTLAND
Italian Grocer In Terror From
Threatening Letter.
Belief that the dreaded "Black Hand"
Society, feared among Italians, has be
gun operations in Portland was estab
lished yesterday by a threatening let
ter received by Vito Vlttl. an Italian
grocer, at 294 Sheridan street. The let
ter was dated January 30, 1909, and said
'You must give $500 or we will kill you
and your family." It was signed X.
It was written in Italian and contained
no instructions. The police believe this
is merely the first of a series custom
arily sent to intimidate the Intended vic
tim.
Two men of suspicious actions and
mysterious demeanor called on the gro
cery merchant yesterday afternoon and
asked him If he had received the letter.
One of these men, Mr. Vitti said, was
a native of Sicily and the other was a
Calabrian. He had never seen them be
fore, but recognized their dialects. After
he had replied to their inquiry the men
went out immediately and the grocery
man became so frightened that he went
out on the street and sought out Patrol
man Lytle, to whom he appealed for
protection.
Plans are to be made to, entrap the
writers of the threatening letter.

LAW'S WORDING SPECIFIC
Misunderstanding In Proportional
Representation Amendment When
Placed Before the Voters
for Their Sanction.
STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Feb. 2. (Spe
cial.) That the voters of Oregon were
misled regarding the contents of the pro
portional representation amendment and
that it will be absolutely necessary for
the present Legislature to enact either
a proportional representation law or a
Legislative appointment Iaw apportion
ing one member for each district, appears
from an examination of the amendment
adopted last June.
The deception consisted in this that
the authors of the proportional represen
tation amendment told the voters that
this amendment did not make the enact
ment of a law necessary but merely gave
the Legislature power to enact such a
measure and also that the amendment
left the Legislature free to adopt any
plan of proportional representation it
may deem best. It now appears that
the proportional representation amend
ment precludes the adoption of any plan
of proportional representation except that
under which each voter votes for only
one person under the title for each office.
The provision upon this subject came in
the middle of the section submitted for
adoption and its purport and effect were
not realized nor understood by the voters.
Not much attention was given to the
subject for the reason that it was re
peatedly asserted and generally under
stood that the amendment left the Leg
islature free to adopt any, plan of repre
sentation it might desire, or none at all.
Amendment Held Joker.
Following is th proportional represen
tation amendment with the joker clause
in heavy type:
Section 18. Tn all elections authorized hv
this constitution until otherwise provldec.
by law, the person or persons receiving the
highest number of votes shall be declared
elected, but provision may be made by law
for elections by equal proportlotml repre
sentation of all the voters for every office
which Is tilled by the election of two or
more persons whole official duties, rights
and powers are equal and concurrent.
Kvery qualified elector resident In his pre
cinct nnd registered as may be required by
law. may vote, for one person under the
title for each office. Provision may be
made hy law tf the voter's direct or Indi
rect expression of his first, second or ad
ditional choices among the candidates for
any office. For an office which is filled by
Cue election of one person it may be re
quired by law that the person elected shall
be the final choice of a majority of the
electors voting for candidates for that office.

CHICAGO, Feb. 2. (Special.) Kisses

SACRAMENTO RAGING AGAIN
River at Flood Level and Bridges In
Great Danger.
REDDING, Cal., Feb. 2. The severest
storm of the season, so far as flood
waters are concerned. Is raging along
the headwaters of the Sacramento River

but will be. resumed at dawn if the
tracks are still clear.
The Sacramento River is within a foot
of being over -its banks at several
points, and Is filled with driftwood and
uprooted trees of such size as to be a
serious menace to bridges. Already the
approach to one bridge, that of the Sac

His Turn Came When Gates

THEN HE DID SQUEEZING
Democratic Senators Allege Gigan
tic Financial Plot Was Made to
. Force Tennessee Crowd to
Sell to the Trust.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 2. (Special.) A
demand that John W. Gates be summoned
before the Senate committee which is in
vestigating the absorption of the Tennes
see Coal & Iron Company by the United
States Steel Corporation, will be made
by the Democratic members of the com
mittee. The Democrats believe that Mr.
Gates can reveal one of the most gigan
tic plots ever conceived in finance. In
volving the Inception of the panic of
1907, which, according to their allega
tlons, cost Mr. Gates and his associates
millions of dollars.
According to the etory told today, J.
Pierpont Morgan in the purchase of the
Tennessee Company, wreaked summary
vengeance on Mr. Gates for the Louisville
& Nashville coup of 1902, which, it is
said, cost the Morgan interests $15,000,000.
Mr. Gates accomplished this coup while
Mr. Morgan was perfecting control of
the Atlantic Coast, Seaboard & South
ern Railroad, with a view to controlling
the railroad situation in the South. The
net result was that Mr. Morgan was
compelled to buy out Mr. Gates at his
own figures. This stock, when bought,
was turned over to the Atlantic Coast
Line Company of Connecticut, the hold
Ing company of the Atlantic Coast Line
.Railroad.
It is now alleged that this deal rankled
in the breast of Mr. Morgan until 1907,
when it was found that Mr. Gates and
the syndicate associated With htm con
trolled the Tennessee Coal & Iron Com
pany and had hypothecated their hold
ings with interests in New York. It is
Intimated by the Democrats that certain
financial conditions were brought about
which resulted In Mr. Gates and his
friends being squeezed out of the concern
The retaliation of Mr. Morgara and his
friends is likened by the Democrats to
the Gould corner in gold in 1873, which
resulted in "Black Friday' and the Hill-
Harrlman fight over the Northern Pa
cific road in 1901, which brought on "Blue
Thursday.

CHICAGO, Feb. 2. (Special.) The
Merry Widow hat, beloved by rhymesters
and Jokesmlths, has been dethroned. The
National Association of Retail Milliners
has saidi the word that banishes the
monarch of millinery creation to the
limbo of last year's hats. What the
Jests and the sneers and the pleadlnss
of benighted mankind failed to do, the
milliners have accomplished.
Mme. Maerle, . head of the reception
committee for the National Association of
Retail Milliners, which met tonight in
the Palmer House, sounds the death
knell of the broad-brimmed hat.
"It Is not the mode correct," says
Madame. And femininity, subservient
ever to the edict of the milliner, humbly
bows to the decree.

like inverted flower pots. They are said
to be copies of the fez-shaped hats of
Servian officers. From Hungary to
Servia Is not as long a Jump as is that
from the 18-inch brims to the brlmless

are of rough, highly finished-straw. A
Jaunty military medallion of braid, from
which two gilt tassels droop below the

EDINBURGH, Feb. 2. The Stirling di
vorce case today entered upon the third
week of Its hearing. Mrs. Stirling con
tinued to deny the allegations made by
her husband's lawyers. Several times s!i
broke down as she unfolded the story of
her married life. The objectionable at
titude of Douglas Stirling, her husband's
brother, so irritated the witness that she
broke out into a heated denunciation, and
at the suggestion of the" presiding Judge,
Douglas -Stirling left the room.
Mrs. Stirling characterized as "dreadful
lies" all the allegations of misconduct
with Lord Northland, and she flatly de
nied that she had promised to give a con
fession to an attorney for Mr. Stirling,
who talked with her after her return
from America in August of last year.
Nothing to Confess.
"There was none to confess," she de
clared. Continuing, the witness said that the
statement made by Mrs. Atherton last
week that she had purchased a revolver
and declared she would shoot Lord
Northland unless he married her, was a
fabrication. She admitted having pur
chased a pistol after she had left her
husband, and said she was so miserable
that she had contemplated taking her
own life.
Says Conspiracy Was Planned.
"There has been throughout a con
spiracy to" get rid of me by hook or by
crook," she declared. "There Is abso
lutely no foundation for the stories of
Improper conduct with Lord Northland,
but even if I had been guilty no one
would or could have blamed me, for if
ever a woman was thrown at a man's
head I have been thrown at the head of
Lord Northland."
In tho cross-examination. Mrs. Stirling
admitted driving and dining alone with
Lord Northland. She said this was dun
in a measure to her love of him, but
largely out of pique aroused by the neg
lect of her husband.
