4 HOUSE REJECTS ANTI-JAP BILL T-. California Will Not Bar Alien Landowners Lest It Should Drive Out Capital. y SPEAKERS SHOW PASSION Drew Pictures 40,000 Jap Residents All Trained as Soldiers His - Figures Disputed and .Patriot Ism Invoked by Melrose. 8ACRAMENTO. Cal., Feb. 3. After a debate extending from 11 A. id. to S P. M. today, the Assembly rejected the bill drawn by Drew, barring aliens from ownership of land In California, by a vote of 48 to 28. The bill was amended at the request of President Roosevelt and Secretary Root so that the clause ap plying It to Japanese only was elimi nated, making it apply to all aliens, but the measure aroused such a storm of opposition that long before the debate was closed by Drew it was apparent that the measure would be defeated. The result of today's corUest is re garded as a fair test of the relative strength of the two factions In the As sembly and as foreshadowing the defeat of all measures that would tend to em barrass the National Government in its relations with Japan. Arguments Pro and Con. In substance the opposition to it was more that it would drive- at least a billion dollars of foreign capital out of the state than that it mifrht jeopardize the present friendly relations with Ja pan. The proponents of the bill contended that the state was being overrun by thrifty Japanese wno were gradually gaining an impregnable position as land owners and whose government was try ing to dictate to California regarding legislation. Johnson Grows Dramatic. , Two sensational speeches were made one for and one against the measure. Johnson, of Sacramento, ex-Congressman and author of the four bills segre gating Japanese In schools and residen tial district and preventing aliens from being members of corporations, made an Impassioned appeal for the enactment of the Drew bill. At his cjimaxie walked back from his seat to the lobby rail. and. seizing in his "arms a golden-haired girl of three, held her aloft and declared that he was "in favor of this," as opposed to "the Japanese menace to our Insti tutions." Nathan C. Coghlan. of San Francisco, who was elected with the indorsement of the Union Labor party, opposed the Drew bill on the ground that it was In conflict with the state constitution; that It was inimical to union labor and that it was not favored by the Nation, which, he said, was dealing with the problem and should be supported by the people of California.. Dramatically confront ing Drew, he said: Coghlan Challenges Drew. "If President Roosevelt should sud denly throw open the doors of this As sembly chamber and, laying his hand on your shoulder, should request, for reasons of state, that you withdraw this bill. you. Mr. Drew, as a patriotic citi zen of the United States, would accede without a murmur." This sally waa received with great ap--plause. , In reply. Drew, closing his argument for the bill, declared that he had re ceived a letter from the President in which that official stated that he was not opposed to the bill as It had been amended at his request. Visions of Japanese Army. In his opening remarks this afternoon. Drew made the statement that already there were In California 40.000 Japanese, most of whom had belonged to the Jap anese army and were men who could be mobilized at a moment's notice In case of hostilities. Richard Melrose, who '. has gathered statistics In opposition to the bill, re marked that there wero not more than 25.000 Japanese in California. He quoted statistics compiled by rne Asiatic Exclu sion League to the effect that there were not more than 75 Japanese property owners in the state. Should "Wait for Census: Melrose, who spoke for Governor Gll lett. Speaker Stanton and others in both branches of the Legislature, counseled Belay to enable the State Labor Commis sioner to take a -census of the Japanese. Stanton Introduced recently, at the re quest of the Governor, a bill appropriat ing $10,000 for such a canvass and as soon as the other anti-Japanese meas ures are disposed of. this bill will be rushed to passage and the labor bureau will begin Its task. The object is to ob tain all the statistics possible, to be sub mitted In the form of a report at the next session. Before adjournment tonight, Johnson asked that his bills be taken up the first thing In the morning, limiting the debate to 39 minutes on each side. This was granted b the House. Right to Protect Soil. : In his opening speech. Drew stated that President Roosevelt had done all he could to help solve the Japanese problem, but had been unsuccessful. . The Federal Government, he said. - had tin unchal lenged right to eSercise sole power over Immigration, but California also and the right to "protect the integrity of her soil." He was opposed to foreign ab sentee land ownership, such as caused the adoption" of the law in Illinois. It was a question of self-preservation. Melrose not only took the position that the enactment of such a law would drive at of the state hundreds of millions of dollars of foreign capital, but he -argued that the farmers of California needed other than white labor to harvest their crops. . . He declared it was 'not true, as Drew had stated, that the President had with drawn his -objection to the bill. He ex-, plained that the Federal Government could have no objection to any law that did not violate treaty rights, but that did not mean that President Roosevelt In dorsed the measure under discussion. Japanese Alien Land Law. The speaker read from correspondence between the Governor and the Japanese Consul-General. giving a synopsis of tho laws of Japan relating to aliens.. - These laws, he said, permitted alien corpora tion to lease land for indefinite- periods and Invited foreigners to invest their money In the islands. . If the Drew bill became a law. no aliens could lease agricultural land for longer periods than two years and city property for longer periods than one year. This would effectually bar alien corporations from investment of large sums of money. Melrose challenged the author to explain rn his closing argument how the measure would benefit union labor. It would rather. In his opinion. Injure the laboring classes. . . " Johnson made a vigorous speech in favor of the Drew bill. "I would rather that every foot of land in the state should go back to Its native wilderness," said he, "than that the ac-J cursea loot or xne Aeiaiic muuiu u oi. upon it to menace our institutions. "Two years ago, when we attempted to pass the Segregation bill, the President sent a request for delay. We were told if weput the matter off for two yeara more, the National authorities would set tle the whole matter by diplomacy -and negotiations. We believed and we were fooled.". Leave It to Cncle Sam. . Coghlan in opposing the measure, eald: "Let us et down to real hard work that will uplift this state nd leave to the National Government the task of !, brushing aside the little bandy-legged bugaboo from across tne .f acme. Drew, in closing, reiterated that, the President was not- against his bill as amended. "Now is the time to enact anti-Japanese laws." he said, "Japan is in no position to strike back. She cannot borrow money. Don't let us wait until there are 200.00 Japanese on this coast, who Will own 72 per cent of the land, - aa they do in Hawaii,'.' ' . . 'Roosevelt's JjeUer to Drew;- Drew, with the permission of the Presi dent, made public tonight the following letter, which he had received from the White House, dated January 27: "I thank you for your frank and manly letter. Don't you think that you can reach the goal for which you are striving and yet comply with Secretary Root's opinion? It eeems to me you can. It would be a pleasure. to me to see you here If you are able to come to Wash ington." - The committee on Federal relations ren dered a favorable report on Coghlan's joint resolution calling upon the National Administration for the maintenance in Pacific waters of a fleet powerful enough to defend the Western coast against any nation in the Far East. NEVADA VOTES AGAIXST JAPS Assembly Adopts Resolution Despite Protest From Dixon. CARSON. Nev., Feb. 3. The Assembly of the Nevada Legislature this afternoon passed the anti-Japanese resolution as amended. The amendments eliminate all reference to Federal interference, but urge the State of California to pass stringent measures to exclude Japanese. There was but one vote against the measure that ' of Church, Republican, from Lincoln County. A telegram received from Senator Dixon in the morning and read in the Senate was read to the'Assembly this afternoon. In answer, the Assembly telegraphed to him the resolution as amended. ' It Is likely that the resolution will be delivered to the Senate tomorrow. Should that body take up the measure. It will further amend it, anrj it is said that Its wording will be so changed that the As sembly scarcely will recognize It. The Assembly resolution No. 2, which asked that a fleet of warships be kept on the Pacific, was passed without question or amendment. ' Governor Dickerson. when shown the telegram from Mr. Dixon and also the telegram in the papers from President Roosevelt, gave out the following state ment on the subject: "Personally. I would like to see the Japanese excluded from this country, and every one of them now here deported. I regard them as a worse evil and greater menace to our country than the Chinese. I am not in favor, however, of enacting laws or passing resolutions on this sub ject that will tend to embarrass the Na tional Administration." t KILLED BEFORE CHILDREN RAXCirER FIENDISHLY MtJR DERS HIS "WIFE. Beats Head to Pulp, Then Sends 10 .' ' Year-Old Boy to Notify His Undo of Tragedy. SPOKANE!, Wash., Feb.' t (Special.) A Sand Point special to the Spokesman-Review- says: In the presence of his six crying and terrified children, Joseph Vigue, a rancher living near Cocolalla, a few miles' west of here, at 11 o'clock this morning killed his wife, pounding her head to a pulp with the butt end of a rifle, and then sent his 10-year-old son to the home of his brother, Fred Vigue, to notify his relatives. His brother found the slayer standing in the center of the room. "I've killed her, .Fred," he 'remarked, coolly, and in a dispassionate tone of voice, "she's In the cellar. Leave her there and say nothing about it. I'll teach these people a lession." The children range In age from 10 years down to 5 months. Husband and wife had apparently always been on the best of terms with the exception of an oc casional trivial, domestic quarrel. The family had been llvjng in the vicinity of Cocolalla for five or six years, and was squatting on an unsurveyed tract of 150 acres about two and a half miles distant. Constable Alexander Enos. of Westmond, who this afternoon arrested Vigue and brousht him to the County Jail, was told by Vigue that he came in from his work at 11 o'clock. "He told me," the constable continued, "that- he had been feeling queer in the, head for two or three days and iiad a foreboding that he might do some desper ate deed. When he came in he asked her to cook dinner, and she taking fright at his tone of voice and mien, started to run from the house. He seized an un loaded rifle, chased her and struck her over the head. Then in a frenzy, he continued, to rain blows on the prostrate woman until he had reduced her cranium to a pulp." The family came from Michigan and Vigue was originally from Canada. .

Nerl ..... .......... BY JOSBP.H M. QUENTIN. It was eminently In keeping with tra ditions of the occasion that a feast of Italian grand opera should finish with the two masterpieces left us by a great Italian composer, Verdi, ' "II . Trovatore". and "Rlgoletto." Both operas were well staged and ' finely presented, and the Lambardi Opera Company has left town after a successful visit, making many friends in a quarter where the singers have hitherto been strangers. Their next stop is Tacoma and then they sing at Seattle. Spokane and work eastward un til they reach New Orleans, La., in May, where the American tour ends. Yesterday's new opera solo-stars were: Elvira Campoll, Delores Frau, Alessandro Scolabrini and Paolo Wulman. Like 'one star which outshines all others, the name of Angelo Antole, bari tone, leads the rest in yesterday after noon's rendition of "II Trovatore." An tole Is the singer who made the hit Tues day night as Marcello in "La Boheme." Yesterday, he was even in better voice, and his warm, dramatic style Is just suited to the part of Count dl Luna. His voice comfortably filled the theater and apparently he had lots of reserve power left. The same cJreslslng. velvety quality was there, and Antole leaves the convic tion In our minds that he Is a most ar tistic baritone and destined for higher things. So well did he sing "II Balen Del Suo" that he was forced to repeat it, in response to a deafening encore. Among the female voices, the great sur prise of them all is Delores Frau, who appeared as Azucena, the gypsy, i She has a mezzo-contralto voice "of magnifi cent quality, without one 'jar in it and her style suggests Schumann-Heink. The timbre of the vdlce of course is smaller, but the deep, mellow 'cello-like tone Is there. She met with a flattering 'recep tion. She is a native of Barcelona, Spain, and is said to be a favorite in Odessa and St. Betersburg. In many re spects, she Is a really great artist, and it is a pity she rras Only sung once in this engagement. More people should have heard her. -.j ... '' Alessandro Scolabrini, tenor robusto, was the Manrlco. and with his tall, dis tinguished appearance looked the part. In profile, he resembles "our own" John Cor dano, of this city, and "Little Italy" in the gallery, was for a time excited over the rtimor which floated up there that Cordano was really the. Manrlco. Scola brini has the most powerful voice among the tenors of the company, and Its vol ume Is immense. He sang up to C In altlssimo. with vigor and clarity, but In singing softly he sometimes was flat, es pecially In the duo with Delores Frau In "Home to Our .Mountains." Elvira Cam poll, dramatic soprano, 'a native of Buenos Ayres. South America, was the Leonora, and her voice both sparkles and dazzles. She was very successful in the duo with the tenor In the "Miserere." This completes the new comers in the list of soloists. A new musical .director made his bow. Edoardo Lebegott of Milan, Italy, a young man who Is just 26 years old.. He kept Bingers and orchestra players well in hand, and was artistic in his interpreta tions. He possesses, undoubted musical talent, and is the ' composer of two operas which have Just seen light In Italy, "Semale" and "Red Rose." The male voice section of the chorus sang un usually well. There isn't any use In tell ing the plot of "II .Trovatore." It's too well known. . v Great enthusiasm marked the fine ren dition of "Rlgoletto"- last night. Cecelia Tamanti Zavaski deepened the favorable impression; she left as Lucia, adding to her laurels by her exquisite singing as Gllda, and In the quartet she sang up to B in altlssimo, with birdlike purity. Ger ard! Graztanl, as the Duke, made a big hit with' "La Donne e Mobile" ("How Fickle Women"), and a torrent of "bis" came from the gallery, the Italian for "more." iModestl as Rlgoletto, the hunch back, was vigorous and declamatory. The newcomer In the cast was Paolo Wulman, basso profundo, who was cordially re ceived. He has a voice of tremendous volume, and Is the singer who originated the bass part in "The- Butterfly," under Puccini's direction. The opera was un usually well performed.. Encores were frequent. The visit of the Lambardi Opera Com pany has been of marked educative value to this city, and the impression is gen eral that any Italian opera company fol lowing in the waker of Lambardi wtll find It : next to Impossible to duplicate the artistic triumph won on this occasion. i . ' STEALS RIDE, LOSES HAND Young . Man Ordered From Town Has Shocking Accident. PENDLETON, Or., Feb. 3.

RILL TENNESSEE GOVERNOR SAYS IT DESTROYS PROPERTY. Declares Ban on; Liquor Manufac ture Violates Popular WUI. ' Veto Is Overruled. rJASHVILLE, Feb. 8. Governor Pat terson today vetoed the bill prohibiting the manufacture of intoxicating liquors after January 1, 1910. The veto mes sage says: - "If this legislature shall destroy all the distilleries and breweries, why can not, the next forbid..the raising or sell ing of the -grains or cultivation of the grape, out of which liquors are made? "Shall this or some future Legislature, prevent the farmer from raising or selling tobacco or the manufacture or. the placing of it on the market? "If we are thus started, where shall we end? It is better not to make the start. "I veto this measure: "First Because its ruthlessness de prives the 'state of revenue without any sort of corresponding benefit. "Second It discriminates against our own people in favor of the people of other states. "Third It destroys the property of the citizen without compensation. "Fourth It makes a dangerous pre cedent, humiliates Tennessee and low ers the place bf dignity such as it has occupied 'as one of the .proudest and most conservative states of the Union. "Fifth It violates the will of the people twice expressed at the ballot box, offends against their sense of Jus tice and under , the plea of civic right eousness sacrifices a great moral prin ciple of government at -the very altar where it should be guarded and de fended." The prohibition bill was passed by the Senate over the Governor's veto this aft ernoon by a vote of 20 to M. HERMANN STAYS TO WORK Ex-Land Commissioner Not Going Abroad Until After Trial.

The foul gases of the stomach and the torpid action of the liver are easy victims for charcoal to overcome. This great natural cleaner and ab torbent will most certainly be relished by a system afflicted with gaseous or sluggish tendencies. Charcoal has long been known as a great absorbent of gas. A panful of charcoal will positively purify a room filled with foul odors and decay. Its absorbing- ratio Is one hundred times greater than Its. own volume. The ancients gave charcoal for many human Ills successfully. Tlie North American Indians used It for snake bite, poison from eating wild herbs ' and cured what they called- stomach bad medicine" with It. Willow charcoal seems to bo the best product for human use, and no doubt the peculiar curative property of the willow is represented in a chemical nuality In its charcoal.
