T dent told his visitors that he was bound to secure the passage of the immigration bill with the Japanese amendment. Senator Lodge had in- formed the President that Tillman and Bacon threatened to filibuster because they objected to the provision in the bill prohibiting the importation of con- tract labor by immigration agents em- ployed by an association. The Presi- dent told the Californians that they need not fear the failure of the Ha-| He said | wailan exclusion programme. that he would call an extra session of Congress if the bill should be killed. Schmitz and the School Board there- upon agreed to surrender on the school |question. They redched an under- | standing with the President that noth- ing should be said about the surrender until Qongress had passed the bill They admitted that the coast might condemn them for surrendering unless they could show that exclusion was an accomplished fact. In order to avold a possible outbreak on the coast, Schmitz and the board are trylng to keep their surrender a secret. AMENDMENT IN DANGER The Senate got busy on immigration | matters soon after the meeting. Bacon and Tillman privately told the Repub- flcans that the bill would be talked to death unless the provision regarding contract labor was cut out. They ar- gued that their conSstituencies were trying to secure white immigration through the employment of immigra- tion agents, supported in part by the States and partly by contributions from employers of labor. They denled that such immigrants were under contract. There was every evidence of a fili buster up to the time that the Pres dent and Sepator Aldrich acted. The President is understood to have tele- phoned to Senator Lodge early in the |afternoon that he would call an extra session if necessary to pass the bill Lodge passed this ultimatum around. It did not seem to have any effect on the Southerners. But Benator Aldrich heard of it iny New York. He has engaged his pas- sage to BEurope immediately after Con- gress adjourns. He was very much ex- cited over the idea of an extra session. Several Senators say tonight that Ald- | rich called up Senator Crane of Massa- chusetts about 4 o'clock and told him to ‘'warn Tillman and Bacon that the | river and harbor bill was behind the immigration bill and that unless the immigration bill was allowed to come to a vote by tomorrow night the South Carolina and Georgia items would be cut out. TILLMAN COMES DOWN Within an hour the word was passed around that there would be no objec- tion to a vote tomorrow. Tillman talked an hour longer, but the ugliness of his attitude was gone. | Then, as the result of another long- distance conversation, two Republican Senators gave signs of eruption. They |are known to be trans-Atlantic steamship companies, do mnot want immigration stopped. They began to find serious | imperfections in the bill. But their | attitude is well known to the other | Senators and it will not delay the pas- sage of the bill. Several Democratic Senators do not agree with Tillman and Bacon and will vote for the bill. President Walsh and Director Boyle | of the School Board left tonight for New York. They will inspect the school | systems of several Eastern cities in or- | der to obtain pointers for the new San | Francisco schools. Mayor Schmitz will | be tendered a reception Monday night | by the Central Labor Union of Wash- | ington, which will be attended by Sam- | uel Gompers and other leaders. Schmitz is expected to make a speech on the “Japanese situation.” By that time it |is expected that the whole thing will | be settled. MAYOR WAS A NONENTITY | Members of the California delegation are glad now that they were not called in to participate in the conferences be- tween the Pregident and Schmitz. They have not been consulted by Schmitz and cannot be blamed if the admission of Japanese children in the schools proves unpopular, They have supported the exclusion amendment, of course, and do not give Schmitz or the School Board any credit for that part of the out- come. They say that the passport scheme was originated before Schmitz arrived here, and that he did not influ- ence it one way or the other. The correspondents of many big Eastern papers are sending out tri- umphant “I told you sos” on the | Schmitz surrender. The Eastern press ing May s influenced by the| or Schmitz T0 GEASE WILD TALK Japanese Controversy Stirs| Southern Senator to Belligerency WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.—The agree- ment to vote tomorrow on the confer- ence report on the immigration bill was preceded by an entire day of dis- cussion upon that measure. The principal speakers were Senators Bacon and Tillman in opposition to what they regarded as an effort to | prevent the South from getting a desir- able class of immiglants, Senator Till- | man's remarks on the Japanese situa- tion brought a warning from Senator Lodge that if continued he sheuld move that the dlscussion proceed behind closed doors. International references were not made afterward by Senator | Tillman. Senator Gallinger expressed surprise that the conferees should contend that | they had not injected “new” matter into the conference report, and Senator Carter said he should vote against the report entirely on that ground and pre- | dicted its defeat. Mr. Bacon said that under the ruling of the Department of Commerce and Labor, the contract labor clause of the immigration laws has been so con- | strued as to permit the State Immigra- {tion Commission of South Carolina to receive contributions of funds from private individuals and use the money to encourage and assist immigration. All that was asked, he said, was that the law be allowed to remain as it now is. The conference report would pre- vent any tion by a State. In reply- ing to Mr. Bacon's speech Mr. Lodge | said there had not been the slightest intention on the part of the conferees | to modify in any way the clause which glves power to a State to take steps to induce immigration. If those clauses which limit contract labor have been | strengthened it was without any ref- | erence to the States, he said. Senator Gallinger expressed sym- pathy for the situation in the South and sustained Mr. Bacon's contention | that the situation was one of embar- ment, as he should feel compelled to vote for the report because of the | Pacific Coast provision. BONAPARTE WISHES DELAY |Asks That Aoki Case Be Postponed | Pemding Washington Negotiations | At the request of Attorney General | Charles Bonaparte, transmitted by wire to United States Attorney Robert T.| Devlin = yesterday, the action com- | | menced In the Federal courts against | the Board of Education by the Japanese lad Aoki, who represents his compa- | triots in the school question, has been | continued two weeks, or until the head | | of the Department of Justice in Wash- | Ington advises further progress. Yes- | terday the following telegram was re- ceived in the Federal bullding: | United States Aggoney R. 7. Deviin: In view of the probability bf an amicable settlement if will be better to postpone the hearing fixed for the 18th inst. BONAPARTE. | Deviin was in Sacramento yesterday |and Assistant United States Attorney | A. P. Black received the message. He | immediately conferred with City Attor- |ney Willlam G. Burke, who is to de- | fena the cause of the Board of Educa- |tion in excluding Aokl from the Red- | ding Primary. Burke gave his consent i to the proposed postponement. On next Monday, the day originally set for the hearing of the Aoki matter, the contest- ing attorneys will appear in the Dis- | trict Court and agree to a continuance. | TOKIO DENIES AGREEMENT | LONDON, Feb. 15.—A dispatch from | Tokio to the Times says: It is denied | hete on good authority that Japan has | agreed to any solution of the San Fran- | cisco problem depending on restriction | of the admission of Japanese laborers | to the United States. A A A A A A A AN s ’lrom the first has ridiculed Schmitz and | predicted that he would fall a prey to | the big stick. Apparently no one here | thinks that Schmitz has assisted in set- i tling the Japanese question. | — e | LAD CRUSHED TO DEATH SAN RAFAEL, Feb. 15.—Harry Smith, a 14-year-old orphan, employed by a |local milkman, was crushed to death today by a barrel of wine rolling on LODGE WARNS TILMAN | him at Corte Madera. .

Howison of the Uni- versity of California discuss “Human Pre-existenge,” the address being one of a series by university men on “Im- mortality.” Shocks aplenty came to portions of Professor Howison's audience as he thoughttully, hours' discourse, disposed of the devil as a myth, hell as a legend, defined Christians. with a new definition, gave Christian Selence a rap, Buddhism sever- al raps, and the theory of “human pre- existence the hardest rap of all.” “I shall speak with no particular em- phasis upon human pre-existence,” he said, “but rather of the immortality of | the soul, our general subject for this course of addresses, and what I say of human pre-existence will be a denial of | the theory. Human pre-existence is of kin to dealing in 8pooks, to curious ex- peditions Into the world of the myth- fcal. It suggests Christian Science vagaries and is a doctrine impossible of approval by sober men. As philos- ophers we should stand for sober| thought. The thought of human pre- existence is twaddle, useless theorizing, because our lives are not influenced in | the slightest by the theory that we | have lived in another form, in another world, at another time than this.” “Buddhism with its doctrine of trans- migration of souls and its conception of perfection as a state where man _de- scends to nothing in his own sight, was criticised by Professor Howison. He declared that Christ is the one great teacher of truth, because, in con- trast with Buddhism, he tells men they are to be like God, perfect, free, im- mortal. The belief in human pre-ex- istence involved in Buddhism has no counterpart in Christian doctrine,” said Howison. “The soul,” said Howison, “Is of such character so much a part of the great first cause: that nothing can harm it— nothing but sin. Sin, like acid, can partially dissolve it, but it cannot be absolutely annihilated, even by sin, be- cause no soul ever reached a stage at which the soul could not conceive of some wickedness so horrible that even the depraved soul would revolt at it. “That is why the wisest thought has led us to reject the .dea of a devil who is all evil, who cries ‘evil, be thou my g00d." An absolutely bad being is in- conceivable. Don't read the Epistles; don’t look for this truth .n even the Gospel of St. John, but in the other three gospels, which criticism has left comparatively unscathed; get Christ's own truth concerning the soul.” b g el S Novel Orfental disheb that will surprise yourself and friends.

McPike of counsel for the defense referred to the present status of the case as follows: “As it stands, we have Jerome beaten. If his contention that we could not in- ! trodude statements made by Harry | Thaw to the experts had been allowed to stand it would have been the worst error that either I or Delmas ever heard of. We would not have cared a snap for a conviction if that had been the final ruling, because it would not hold. Delmas comes out of the Far West to New York and teaches the District At- torney the law of his own State.” ELMAS PRAISES JEROME en The Call's correspondent asked as for his own opinion in the mat- ter, senior counsel for Thaw expressed regret that his associate had in any | way reflected on Jerome’'s knowledge of the laws of New York. He said: “I have the highest regard for the District Attorney’s very great intimacy with the law. the admission of Dr. Evans’ testimony | concerning Thaw's oral statements, Jerome evidenced to me his knowledge that such testimony was entirely rele- vant. Had he objected to the admi sion of this evidence I should not nec- essarily concluded that his objection was based on Ignorance. But he real- ized well as I did when I put the question to Dr. Evans that the court | could never sustain an objection of | such a nature and hence his silence.” | After Dr. Evans has finished his tess | timony on Monday the defense expects | to put Dr. Charles G. Wagner on the | stand again to- testify to certain in- | cidents in connection with his examina- | tlon ,of Thaw, which he omitted when | he was first called. Following the ex- | perts, Evelyn Nesbit Thaw will be re- | called to finish her testimony. this before the jury in its complete | form and the admission in evidence of | the will and letters written by Thaw | the defense believes that it will rest. BETTING ON THAW TRIAL Chicago Gamblers Make Many Wagers { on Fate of the Accused | CHICAGO, Feb. 15—With Harry K. Thaw's life hanging in the balance of | justice, Chicago's gamblers have seized the chance to make books upon the outcome of the sensational New York murder case.

Ackerman, proprietor of a prosperous saloon at the corner of Mar- ket and Church streets and well known in that vicinity, where he has been in business for many years, attempted suicide yesterday afternoon. Ackerman had been threatened with softening of the brain since the April fire and recently had been under the care of a physiclan. His rash act is attributed to the sudden attack of this malady, as but a few seconds be- fore he fired the shot which was in- tended to end his life he was conversing pleasantly with his brother-in-law, P.

Al%a charged that he had be drugged by the Sheriff's men, and that he had been tortured into a confession of so-called election ‘crimes. In fact, | he said, he did not know anything about any crimes, and that he was com- | pelled to make statements that might | j have damaged him were they brought before the court. He told a tale of suf- | fering while in prison that is vigorous- | | 1y denied by his custodians. The Hayes | faction uas his afidavit and will use it in defense or prosecution, as re- | quired.

O'Malley is said to be somewhere in Oakland. Frank Washington was arrested for a minor offense by Mulhall and O'Mal- ley on the date mentioned. After his arrest Washington died in a hospital, and the death certificate declared that death was due to “dilation of the heart.” Acting upon the testimony of an eyewitness of the arrest, Chief Car- roll ordered the body disinterred and | it is said that it was discovered that one rib was broken and the back of the skull fractured. The complaint was sworn to by Mrs. Lenora Venable, a sister of the de- ceased, who declared she had witnesses to prove that O'Malley kicked Wash- ington in the side and that Mulhall hit him on the head with his club. = Ad- vices from Oakland say that O'Malley has been arrested.
