HITS AT THE BALD HEADS Assemblyman Hughes of Wisconsin Ex- plains His Antitights Bill MADISON, Wis.,, Feb. 10.—It was the revelations in the Thaw case that drove Assemblyman J. F. Hughes to intro- duce his antitights bill. He wanted the laws of the State of wisconsin to prohibit “actresses or other female per- sons from appearing on the stage or in any theater or in any circus or trav- eling show in tights, unless properly covered by skirts which shall extend at least four inches belaw the knees.” No penalty is provided in the bill, “The revelations of the Thaw trial show a deplorable state of things in{ our so-called high soclety,” said Hughes. “The tendency on the pl:} of theaters is to cater to the deprav tastes of those who, because of waalth, set up standards repugnant to decent people and it should be discouragéd. More modest wearing apparél is re- quired to elevate the moral tone of the stage and the public. I would not re- flect on the character of the high minded, serious followers of the stage, but my bill is aimed at the bald-headed row.” BARRYMORE ANGRY Resents the Notoriety Mrs. Thaw’s Testimony Has Given Him POLAND SPRINGS, Me., Feb. 10.— “Jack” Barrymore, the actor, who is wanted in New York as a witness in the Thaw murder trial, has been lo- cated here. He is at the Mansion House and has engaged rooms for an indefinite stay. He is in an excited state of mind and angry over the publicity connecting him with the Thaw case. He keeps to his room, ex- cept when he sends down every few moments to inguire for telegrams, and refuses to discuss the Thaw case except to deny that he is seeking to avold being called as a witness. He resents any references to his alleged proposal of marriage to Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, as related by her on the witness stand. “JACK” NTER PROTEST Object to Printing of Testimony Givea at Thaw Murder Trial CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Feb. 10.— Women of this city met today and pro- tested against the printing of the de- tails of the Thaw murder case and similar court proceedings. The protest, it was statedy was made “in the Interest of the sanctity of our homgs and the purity of our children and to protest against the minute and detalled accounts given in the daily papers of the sensational and seandal- ous proceedings of the criminal court.” Maypr Frierson in an address de- clared the reports of the Thaw trial WOMEN were disgusting and disgraceful in their details.

Oct. 10, 1908. My Dear Governor Carter—Your letters are most interesting. As regards the small islands You make it perfectly clear that we must try to put them under private ownership and under the private ownership of some man rich enough to take memsures which will prevent their be- ing rendered absolutely uninbabitable by de- forestation and. the drying up of the water. I do not -vare a- rap what: ‘the politicians say about you, still less what they eay ebout your course. You are doing all right, and you can be certain of my unquaiified support. Sin- cerely yours, THEODORE ROOSEVELT. Hon. Geo. R. Carter, Govermor of Hawall, Honolulu, Hawall. MONOLULU, Feb. 4—The foregoing létter “was made public by Governor Cartér after the Supreme Court of the Territory had rendered an opinion sus- taining the executive right to exchange the 47,769 acres of the island of Lanai for other property. Opposition to the exchange was made by former Senator &‘ L. McCandless, who had previously pposed the administration in matters of public policy, and in this instancef| claimed to represent the citizens of the Territory. Months ago Governor Carter submitted the whole project to the President, receiving his approval and indorsement as given in the foregoing letter. Within six hours of the time the decision had been handed down by the court the Governor had completed the transaction, securing city and suburban property assessed at $114,000 for the Lanai lands valued at $107,000. Much of the island is absolutely useless for pastoral or agricultural purposes and the soil in parts is being blown to sea, leaving nething but bare rocks which would ultimately leave the place in the same condition as Kahoolawe, which is now a desolate island of rocks. Mc- Candless had never visited the place, but made a fight “on behalf of the citizens.” On July 1 next 172,780 acres of Gov- ernment land on the island of Hawali, now under lease to the Hawaiian Agri- cultural Company, will revert to the Government. This is the second largest tract ownéd by the Territory and it has beéen .under lease at a nominal rental for a long term of years. There are 7000 acres of forest land, 743 acres cane and 50,000 acres grazing, the re- mainder being lava flows. PR S OSHINL LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE READY TO INVESTIGATE PIERRE, §.

D. Schmitz Exgc—ts to Escape Graft Trial by Not Addressed - to McCartney Alters the Letter Written ¢ “by Wiley to Bell on Food Bill CALL. n:%muu'rm a [GHTH STREET. SAC! Feb, 10.—Chief H. W. ‘Wiley of the United States Department of Agriculture has not written to Sena- tor H. G. McCartney commending him for his pure food:bill. = .- The letter from Wiley commending the bill, it develops, wa: Senator Charles W. Bell'.of Los An- geles, who is saying things about the manner in which the Senator from the City of Angels appropriated it to plume his own politi¢cal helmet. The letter from Wiley was addressed to “My dear Bell,” instead.of “My dear McCartney,” and ts being talked of as much as the “My dear Marla” letter, written by one Theodore Roosevelt. In justice to McCartney, however, it should be explained that the copy cir- culated had the repressed salutation of “My dear sir’ McCartney merely edited Wiley's 'diction. When Wiley wrote to “My dear Bell,” for Instance, that “I am also delighted with section 3,” and-referredgto “the definitions in sectfon 4,” McCartney got busy with his blue pencil and made Wiley declare he was delighted with “your section 3” and with “your «fefinitions in sec- tion 4. The personal pronoun was substituted for the impersonal article throughout the copy of the letter. Bell is not piqued because his name was not mentioned In connection with the letter by McCartney. Neither is Senator Caminetti of Amador, who was also referred to in the letter by Wiley. But Bell does think it pecullar that McCartney should distribute revised coples of the letter, and interject the personal equation in Wiley's boost for the bill. McCartney belongs to the majority in the Senate, however, and his ethics are probably as much at vari- ance with Bell as his politics is. URGE INCREASED SALARIES State . Hospital Superintendents Say | Employes Are Underpaid SACRAMENTO, Feb. 10.—Superin- tendents of the various State hospitals are gathering here for a conference to- morrow with Governor Gillett and in- fluential members of the ways and means committee and the Senate finance committee. The object of the meeting is to discuss the proposed appropria- tions for the several institutions. One of the arguments to be preesnted Is that more money for salaries is an absolute necessity. At present the wages of employes run from $45 to $55. This is not enough to keep the clags of men needed. Complaint is made that good men work a while, find that the pay is not enough for men with familles, and seek other employment. Constant changes militate against good service and the superintendents responsible for the conduct of the hospitals agree that the conditions not only demand, but justify, more salary than is now paid to em- ployes. This, they say, applies not only to tinsmiths, carpenters and other skilled artisans, but to the general run of attendants. ——— BODY FOUND IN BAY—The body of a negmo was found In the bay yesterday near the Santa Fe ferry siip by Charies Larson, captain of a schooner. Judging from appearances, the man had met his death accidentally and had been in the water for at least ten days. No clew was found to his identity. Yielding to Roosevelt’s Demands Continued From Page 1, Column 1 on the Pacific Coast, that this graceful and timely flourish of the big stick was merely intended to heal the wound upon It was a play to the Mongolian gallery and an or- ganic part of the Roosevelt policy in furtherance of the treaty, by the terms of which the Japanese were to exclude their own coolies. The impression is gaining ground that the President understands the &it- uation better than his stage blustering would indicate to the uninitiated. I this regard a well-known writér an war correspondent' who had seen the Japanese at home sald recently that in all the Bastern States he had not met a man who 8o thoroughly understdod the peculiar characteristics of . the Jap- anese, as they were familiar to the Californians, as did Mr. Roosevelt. It is now reported that Consul Uyeno had suggested to the School Board the wisdom of refusing to allow Japanese students of mature vears to attend the San Francisco primary schools. This was previous to the difficulty which arose over the order of ssgregation is- sued by the board.

VIEW OF JAPANESE EDITOR Says the Immigration and School Dis- putes Cannot Be Coupled TOKIO, Feb. 10.—The Jiji, in a lead- ing egditorial anent the S\an Francisco incident, expresses disbellef in the pos- sibility of the adoption of a new treaty mutually restricting labor immigration as a solution of the public school con- troversy. The Jiji declares that it is aware that a large number of Japanese are going to San Francisco from Ha- waii, .and that this immigration is causing jealousy on the part of white labor, but it contends that this is due to the imperfect provision of the ex- isting law, which might be remedied by an agreement on the part of, both governments, but which should consti- tute an entirely. separate subject of discussion as not concerning the pres- ent San Francisco dispute, in which latter Japan stands on her treaty rights. The Jiji, judging by statements at- tributed to officlals of both govern- ments, draws the conclusion that if a satistactory adjustment of the difficulty be reached the credit will be solely dua to the admirable efforts put forth by Preésidént Roosevelt. 3 ..MOURNS LOSS OF PURSE Union ‘Man Regrets Visit Paid by Him B to Japanese Réstaurant John Newstubb of 111 Turk street, a represemntative of one of the unions of the Bullding Trades Council, regrets ‘| a recent visit pald by him to a Japan- #ese restaurant on Golden Gate avenue, between Polk street and Van Ness ave- nue: He entéred the eating place and ‘ordered a méal which cost him 35 cents.

Speaker Beardslee referred the measure to the committee on banks and banking. Jury had no Idea of the awful fate to which his pet was being consigned. He did not realize it until the other day, when he was kindly in- vited to view the remains. When the bill went into committee it applied to banks, huilding and loan associations and title insurance com- panies. Two of the committee, Mec- Connell of Woodland and Chairman Spaulding, who comes from Santa Clara County, are bankers. They gently eliminated all reference to banks. Another member, Thompson of Los Angeles, is engaged in the title insurance business. He slashed out the restriction on title insarance com- panies. Still another member, Luding- ton of San Diego, is in the building and loan business. He saw to it that building and loan companies were not put to any inconvenience. Only one member of the committee, Sammy Beckett of San Francisco, re- mained to be heard from. What he would have done to the bill may never be known. Jury could stand no more. “I'll just gather up the pieces and | carry the bill away,” he said. “The next man might take my name off {t.” With the consent of Chairman Spaulding the bill is to be withdrawn, | and Jury will try his luck with some other committee, FARMERS SCORE LAWMAKERS SANTA ROSA, Feb. 10.—The Bennett Valley Grange, an organization of farmers of this county, at its meet- ing Saturday adopted resolutions de- nouncing the action of the representa- tives of Sonoma County in the Legis- lature In remaining silent when the matter of placing many unnecessary attaches on the payroll of the State was being discussed, and calling at- tention to the fact that their names were all recorded in ‘the affirmative when the vote was taken —_ = B JTEAMER SPOKANE aTRIKES ROCK SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL SEATTLE, Feb. 10.—The steamship Spokane, Captain H.
