CHICAGO. March II. George Odette,
for 10 years bereft of reason and locked
In a steel cage In the garret of his

examining board, which sat In the gar

cause of the gathering, shrieked at
them and rattled the bara of his cage.
The commitment to the asylum fol

since she obtained her ton's release
from an asylum, after a short Incarce

off from the world, seldom leaving the
garret, preparing his food and at times
the only person to see him for months.
A shock from a toy electric battery

and he was sent to an asylum. When
Mrs. Odette learned that her son. re

she obtained his release on a promise
to guard him and the Insane man was
returned to her home.
Since then he has been violent and
none dared approach blm except his
mother, who remained night and day
on the other side of the bars of which
his cage was made, fed him. attempted

the Insane man. The prisoner waa
nude during the hearing. His besrd.

to his knees and his face and body
bore marks of frequent struggles
against the bars of his cage.

Japanese Affected by
Measure's Passage.
FIVE-YEAR UMIT NOW FIXED
Senate Makes Prohibition by
29-to-3 Ballot.
WAR TALK STIRS TO ACTION
Japanese-Owned Tracts In Cali
fornia Now Yield Annual Profit
Total 11 iK $10.000,000 Sub
stitute Bill Less Stringent.
8ACRAMENTO. March II. The fl
Important action on legislation relating;
to aliens was taken by the Legislature
today In the passage by the Senate or
a committee substitute bill, prohibit
ing the holding or land by aliens. The
vote wss -9 to 3.
Individuals and corporations, the ma
jority or whose stock Is held by aliens,
are Included In the provisions or the
bill.
Title I.hnlt Fixed.
The land now held may be retained,
but It may not be sold, bequeathed or
Inherited. Aliens, acquiring land, may
hold It tor a period not to exceed five
years, at the end of which time It must
be sold by the District Attorney.
The last provision applies also to
Inheritances. The measure Is less
stringent than several of those from
which It was drawn, one ot which pre
vented the leasing or land by aliens
and the other providing for their segre
gation In secluded quarters In munici
palities. There was much talk or the possi
bility or war with Japan In th debate
on the bill.
"We must protect our own sons and
daughters, regardless or the attitude
"t itfir." said Senator Bmford, Demo
crat.
Rumor of War Only Rumors.
"There are rumors of Impending war
In the newspapers, but I do not see
why they should affect us In this sec
tion. Two hundred thousand acres of
land are owned by Japanese In the
State or California, yielding annual
profits of 110.000.000 per year. At the
present rate all the remaining agricul
tural land n the state will have been
taken up by Japanese within the next
10 years."
Senator Larklna also pointed out
what he believed to be the danger of
Japanese ascendancy In the United
Stales.
Other Claaee Affected. "
We must not lose sight of the fact."
he said, "that every male Japaneae Is
a trained soldier."
Senator Wolfe pointed out that the
bill affects not only Japanese, but that
It refers to "certa'n classes," Including
Hindus and Chinese.
This has been one of the most Im
portant measure before this session of
the Legislature, the passage of the bill
not affecting treaty rights but show
ing state sovereignty.

MARRIAGE ANNULMENT IS OUT
Charles D. Taylor's Surprise
Proves Real Shock.
ALIMONY FIGURE IS HIGH
Man. Worth $2,500,000 May Xot
Have to Pay $30,000 a Tear for
Deserting Woman, Who Was
Left With but 40 Cents.
SANTA ANA. Cal., March ZL (Special.)
Mn. Minnie N. Taylor, now In the
East, who has been suing Charles D.
Taylor, worth 12,500.000, for 25O0 a month
maintenance, has news awaiting her.
She has yet to learn that Taylor
got their marriage annulled and that
ever since September 19, 1910, she has
not been Taylor's wife snd that her
name was again Minnie Terwilllger, her
maiden name.
The annulment Is alleged to have oc
curred In the Circuit Court of Clacka
mas County, Oregon.
The Brat Intimation that Mrs. Taylor"
relative and attorneys here had of the
annulment came today, when petitions
were filed asking that, the maintenance ault
be transferred from the Superior Court
of this county to the United States Dis
trict Court. In Los Angeles. Attorneys
presented the petitions and on the show
ing made that tha defendant all reside
outside the state. Judge West signed
the order removing the case to the Fed
eral Court.
Taylor's petition stated that be la an
alien, a subject of the King or England
and a resident or British Columbia. That
was news here, ennce Mra Taylor had
been unable to locate Taylor to serve
papers) upon him. The petition was
sworn to by Taylor in San Francisco,' on
March 10. Teylor'a petition said nothing
ot the annulment-
It was in Russell T. Joy's petition that
the startling announcement was made.
Joy Is concerned in the eult because Mrs.
Taylor has asked Judgment annulling
deeds given him by Taylor to fc&OOO
worth or Santa. Ana property.
. Mrs. Taylor alleges that these deeds
were given to defeat any movement she
might make tor compelling her million
aire husband to support her. Joy's affi
davit states that Mrs. Taylor's marriage
to Taylor waa annulled in Oregon before
she brought her eult here, hence she
could not. sa a wife, tie up Joy's prop
erty on a maintenance suit against
Taylor, however the deed from Taylor
to Joy was made.
'Taylor rose suddenly to riches at Gold-
field. He owned the famous Red Top
mine. After his marriage, he came here
and bought property, expecting to build
a costly country home-
While on a trip to Europe, according to
Mra. Taylor's complaint, she was deserted
by her husband, who left her with but
40 cents and she has not seen him
since.

home she will prepare for him in a more
closely settled district in Oakland. The

OF SHELL
OLD TEXAS
Old Battleship Sacri
ficed as Target.
SHE LIES IN MUD, SHATTERED
New Hampshire Sinks Her
With 19th Broadside.
THRICE SHE TAKES FIRE
At R?tnge or Six to Seven and a
Ha'r Miles, Shells Pound Old
Warship to Ruins, Some Going;
Clear Through Her.
ON BOARD TORPEDO BOAT
STRINGHAM, Lower Chesapeake Bay,
March 21. Shattered by a storm of
shell, the old battleship Texas, now the
San Marcos, rests tonight in the mud
of Tangier Sound. The veteran of the
United States Navy sank under the
spectacular marksmanship of her new
er sister.
Gaping holes in her port side and
two jagged wounds in her forward
armor, where shells passed completely
through her, showed how she suc
cumbed. Part of both her fighting
masts were shot away and her deck
was a mass of debris.
The broadsides delivered by the bat
tleship New Hampshire at varying dis
tances of from six to seven and one
half miles were considered remarkable
by ordnance officers. 1 More than one
third of the shots were said to have
gone through, although nothing official
was given out.
First Shots Give Range.
A half hour after the sun had risen
the first shot was fired. This was fol
lowed by another, but both were mere
ly to determine the range. Then be
gan a beautiful exhibition of. marks
manship. A salvo directed near the
stern ef the Texas raised huge columns
of water and deluged tha vessel, leav
ing her unscathed.
Then, to show the control of the 12
and eight-inch cannon, another hail of
shells was dropped into the water im
mediately In front of the ship. The
miss was Intentional, but the shells
came so close as to give rise at first
to the belief that the first hit had been
made.
The shooting: then began in earnest.
The New Hampshire, followed by the
battleship Mississippi 250 yards in her
wake, drew off approxlmtaely seven
and one-half miles and began firing.
All of the broadsides were delivered
against the Texas while the attacking
vessel was steaming back and fortb
along the line at a ten-knot speed.
After the seventh broadside the
Texas plainly was in distress. Two
naval tugs that lay alongside the mon
itor Tallahassee, on which were sta
tioned the naval observers, raced, to
her assistance. The shells presuma
bly had set the vessel afiire, for the
hose was run over the sides and the
engines were set to work pumping. She
also had been driven out cf broadside
range by the force of the New Hamp
shire's shells, and the tugs straightened
her out for her further ordeal. Twice
afterward shells set the hulk afire.
19th Broadside Finishes Her.
What was practically the finishing
blow came in the 19th broadside, when
four of the 12-inch and four eight-inch
shells were hurled at her Just as the
sun was setting. The shots poured so
thick around her that it was impossible
to determine how many of the eight
struck the vessel.
Upon the conclusion of the examina
tion by the expert observers as to the
effect of the fire against the Texas, a
report will be made to Secretary Meyer.
Admiral 6chroedeiv in command of the
fleet, declined to discuss the effect of
the shell fire on the armor, the chick
ens and cats within the turrets or upon
the mannikins placed in the fighting
tops, turrets or bridges.
. The San Marcos, or Texas, was the
first fully-armored vessel to be rated
as a battleship in the United States
Navy. She was built in the Norfolk
Navy-yard by Naval Constructor Francis
J. Bowles. The designer was a Mr.
Johns, an Englishman. ' She cost .2.
500,000. The keel was laid in January,
1889. The vessel was three years on
the ways. An Important modification
was the lengthening of the ship when
it was discovered that she probably
would not float if built according to
the rlgfnal plans. The Texas soon
proved out of date. She was retired
from active service July 8, 1906, as a
receiving ship in the Charleston, S. C,
Navy-Yard.
