SACRAMENTO, Feb. 256.—The Senate committee on insurance decided this requiring insurance companies to de- | posit securities equal to the amount of their capital stock with the Insurance Commissioner or have such deposits in | the State under which they are in- corporated certified to and subject to attachment by California policy-hold- ers made applicable only to foreign corporations. Senator Lynch led in the protest agalnst having this deposit re- quirement applicable to domestic com- panies, arguing that it would bring about retaliatory laws in other States and injure California insurance cor- | porations. Insurance Commissioner Wolf had cluded the deposit requirement in his revision of the insurance laws incor- porated in two bulky bills introduced by Senator Leavitt. He offered no ma- terial objection to the protest made by Lynch, but thought the law should be made applicable to at least the foreign corporations. The committee sus- him in this contention, and| Leavitt's bill was amended accordingly | and ordered out of committee with -a favorable report. Leavitt introduced a bill which provides for the policy” in fire insurance on and real estate. Under the provisions, of the bill the insured will collect the full face value of a policy in case of total loss by fire, and will not have to pay for the cost of appralsal. today | “appraised buildings TO AID HARBOR HERE Bill Introduced Authorizing Transfer of $250,000 From School Fund SACRAMENTO, Feb. 25.—At the re- quest of Governor Gillett, S8enator Ead- ward 1. Wolfe of San Franeisco intro- duced today & bill providing for the transfer of $250,000 from the school fund to the general fund, whence it is to be drawn by the San Francisco har- | bor committee for the completion of urgency - repair .and = reconstruction work on harbor and wharves. Governor Gillett, with the Attorney | General, has been busily engaged in‘ the preparation of the measure for about ten days. The amount carried by the bill is the limit fixed by the Attorney General, after an examina- tion of the State's finances. The Gov- ernor's legal adviser held that under the law the amount of State indebted- ness determined the amount that might be taken froim the school fund. The Governor is very much interested in the improvement of the San Fran- | cisco harbor and had 'hoped that a | larger amount might be lent. according to the terms of the| is to bear interest at 4 per cent, | and to be paid in five equal install- | ments, either from harbor receipts or | from the proceeds of the bonds, of | which another bill by Senator Wolfe | provides for a $2,500,000 issue. CIVIL RIGHTS BILL SACRAMENTO, Feb. 25.—The patri- | cian negroes of Los Angeles, who have | been maintaining a lobby here undep] the direction of James Alexander, in- duced Senator McCartney to introduce a civil rights bill toda: bill, - which was introduced in | the House by Jake Transue, is meant | to give the negroes the same privileges in street cars, restaurants, theaters ;\nd other public places as are enjoyed by | the whites, but it Is worded so as to‘ make its provisions applicable to Chi- | nese, Japanese or other Asiatics. Mem- bers of the San Francisco delegation a new phase to the Japanese question | and are considering it with circum- | spection. PRIMARY REGISTRATION SACRAMENTO, Feb, 26.—A bill mak- ing party registration a qualification for voting at primaries was approved | today by the Assembly. The rollcall | showed 42 ayes and 21 noes. Held of Ukiah gave notice of reconsideration. The bill provides that each voter who registers must give his politics or class himself as an independent. In the lat- ter case he cannot vote at the pri« maries. | | Sy HUNTING FOR MANSLAYER SAN DIEGO, Feb. 25.—Sheriff /Jen- nings and one of his deputies returned | this morning from the mountainous | country south of Jamul, leaving other | ! in the field, to search for | | deputies Miguel Serrano, who on Saturday night | stabbed and kijled Santiago Gern- | binsino, in a fight following a card | game, at the home of an Indian woman L WELLS TELLS OF ADAMS GONFESSION T HiBd | State Closes Its | Against Tyler’s Alleged Murderer WALLACE, Idaho, Feb. 25.—The State closed Its case against Steve Ad- ams this morning, saving for the last hours the weighty testimony of Bulke- | ley Wells, former adjutant general of | Colorado, who told of the confession | Adams made to him while the prisoner | was en route from Boise to Colorado in the custody of Detective S. C. Thiele and Deputy Sheriff Johnson. General Wells testified that he was a member of the Mine Owners' Associa- tion. He denied that any threat was made or inducement offered to Adams | to secure the confession, and stated that he was the only man who heard it. On the resumption of the Adams trial | this afternoon and immediatély before the jury had taken its place in the | courtroom, E. F.

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 25.—Grove Johnson trled to slip an antirailroad bill through the Assembly today, but faithful servants of the Southern Pa- cific woke to the danger just in time jand hastily despatched the offending measure. The bill at issue provided that all railway trains should come to a full stop at least @00 feet from a draw- bridge and should not go ahead until the conductor had received definite in- formation that the draw was closed. Johnson invariably makes a speech in behalf of the leglslation he offers, but today whens the drawbridge bill was| called up he sat silent and let it go to a vote without a word. He counted on catching the friends of the railroad | napping. It was a clever scheme and for a few minutes it looked as if it would succeed. Before Sammy Beckett recovered from his doze, he had been| recorded as voting aye. Even Lemon of San Bernardino, who is a railway conductor by occupation, forgot the general orders issued by Jere Burke and ran Into the open switch. When half of the roll had been called the vote stood 22 ayes and| 2 noes. Then somebody flashed a red lantern. In an instant the faithful knew that it was time for downbrakes. The noes piled up rapidly, and only sleepers and opponents of railway dic- tation voted aye. When the rollcall ended there was| a rush of programmers to be put right. | Among those who asked that their vote | be changed from aye to no were Beck- ett, Cullen, Thompson and Fratessa of San Francisco. The gymnastic emh bition continued for five minutes. its_close the clerk announced 21 aves and 29 noes. Hereafter drowsy programmers will leave orders with the sergeant at arms that they be called whenever any of| Grove Johnson’s bills. come up for passage. WOLF DUMFOUN LEGISLATORS Insurance Commissioner Tries to Pre- vent Raise in His Salary SACRAMENTO, Feb. 25.—Insurance Commissioner Myron Wolf of San Fran- | cisco established a precedent among State officials today when he protested | before the Senate committee on insur- ance against having his salary in- | creased from $3000 to $5000 annually. | The work accomplished by Wolf after the fire in San Francisco demonstrated that he was very much underpaid, members of the committee argued. ‘Wolf said he did not wish to have his salary increased so much while there were so0 many other demands on the State treasury. Members of the com- | mittee were persistent, however, and a compromise was finally effected on | $4000. STREET FRE[GHT SERVICE | Stanton Introduces Bill Opening Thor- ering a bill which will put the voters oughfares to Heavy Traffic SACRAMENTO, Feb. 25.—Stanton of Los Angeles introduced in the Assem- bly today a bill to make it easy for street zailroads and interurban lines to transport freight over public streets. The measure provides that the gov- erning body of any city, town or county | grant holders of street railroad | may or interurban franchises permission to carry freight for hire “over or alon( all or any portion of the streets or| highways embraced within such fran- chise.” Provision is made for compensation in the form of a specified percentage of | | the gross annual receipts of the ronds‘ given this special privilege. OPEN PRESS NEWS BILL SACRAMENTO, TFeb. 26.—The bi- ennial effort of the publishers outside the pale to share the news of the Asso-| clated Press found volce today in a bill introducéd in the Senate by Reilly which would make all organizations of that character un- lawful monopolies. The author of the bill declares its intent is a trifie different this year, however, explaining that it is indorsed by laboring men who want a newspaper of their own. CRIMINAL LIBEL BILL SACRAMENTO, Feb. 256.—Sammy Kohlman's bill making criminal libel a felony punishable by a fine of from $1000 to $5000 or imprisonment for one to five years, passed the Assembly to- day. Clyde Bishop of Santa Ana ex- pressed regret that the penalty was not fixed at death. Abe Ruef's boys applauded the sentiment and joined Bishop in voting for the bill BBLEre A Gt o BAOKEN CABLE STRAND GRUSES CAR ACCIDENT Case| Peculiar Mishap Frightens Passengers and Causes Death of Horse A broken strand on the Geary-street cable caused the death of a valuable horse yesterday and a wild exodus from car 24. The car had stopped near Webster street to await the rescue of a horse that had fallen. While a num- ber of men were trying to raise the animal, a man driving a spirited horse attempted to pass between the car and the prostrate equine. Just at that moment the broken strand caught the clutch of car 24 and started it forward. The first horse was struck and killed, and the car continued on until it brought up against the second one, where the cable grip was released. Most of the passengers on the car | were women, and in their rush to es- cape they leaped into the mud and were sent sprawling in all directions. Mrs. A. Steinberg, wife of the manager of the Hotel Baltimore, was badly ‘bruised on the head and shoulders. The horse killed by the car was val- ued at $400. —— . To Cure a Cold in Ome Day Take Laxative Bromo Quinine ’rwlc » 1 JAPANESE PUPIL SENDS 4 Trades Council, INGULT T0 WHITE GIRL. Student in Mill Valley | School Author of In- decent Letter |WILL BE PROSECUTED Missive Turned Over to Pos-| tal Inspector and Of- fender to Be Arrested Frank Mukal, aged 15, a Japanese |student In the Mill Valley Grammar | School, will be arrested this merning | by the United States Marshal for semd- | |ing am Indecemt letter through the | |mails. Mukal has confessed. Postal | |Inspector Coyme of Sausalito has the | | objectionable letter and the facts in | | the in his possession. The stu- | | dent’s conviction seems certain and his | sentence cam only be tempered by the |mercy that a Federal Judge may show |when taking into comsideration the standard of morals of a foreigmer of this type. It happens that the intend- ed recipient of the vile letter is a four- teen-year-old American girl attending the same school. This will tend to make the case a cause celebre in the Japanese school controversy—particu- | larly In view of the fact that San Fraacisco’s City Attorney and a com- mittee of labor uni officials are om their way to Sacramento to lobby fer the passage of the Keane bill, exclud- |ing Japanese from attendamce im the | white schools of the State. Mukal is a servant in the employ of 4Dr C. Rynz of Ml Valley. He is ad- | mitted as a pupil in the seventh grade |of the grammar school. In the sixth grade of the same school is Mae Have- |lock, aged 14, an orphan under the guardianship of M. D. Ballantine. Mukal's course in an American | school had evidently carried-with it an admiration for an American girl pupil; |1t had taught him the significance of St. Valentine'’s day. From other | sources he had doubtless mastered the | |use of words not current in polite so- ciety, nor admitted for transport through the United States mails. He sent a valentine to Mae Havelock. The | picture was not a love missive, but one of the vulgar sort which low minds concelve—a woman, not- in complete attire. The valentine was only a pic- torial suggestion of the motive of the letter accompanying it. One of the |least offensive phrases in the letter was an offer of 25 cents for a kiss. t | Horrible enough! | Fortunately the letter and the val- entine fell into the hands of the girl's | guardian mother, Mrs. Ballentine. She ‘Wa.s inclined to destroy the evidence of the misdeed of the young Japanese, | but Mr. Ballantine found the missive. He took it to Marshal Staples of Miil | Valley. The Marshal last Tuesday communicated: with the postal authori tles and the case was placed in the hands of Inspector Coyne. The Japan- | ese boy confessed and explained that “he thought such things were done on | St. Valentine’s day.” Principal Hough | |of the school was consulted and said | that while Mukai had never done any- | thing disgraceful before he had been | considered as' particularly ‘“fresh” in | | his conduct about the school. It was| decided that prosecution for sending | indecent matter through the mails would be the proper course and the Japanese student will be taken into custody today. JAPANESE A MORAL MENACE Burke to Make a Stromg Argument | Before the Legislature Secretary Tveitmoe of the Buudmgt Waiter McArthur and | | Senator McGowan are going to Sacra- | ¥ | mento tonight for the purpose of fath- ! of California on record for or against | | the admission of Japanese to the public | |schools. A bill in the form of an |amendment to the State constitution has been formulated, expressing what powers the schools boards of the State, in the separate counties, may | have in sending children of other na- tionalities or color to schools other than those attended by the children of white citizens. City Attorney Burke left for the| | State capital last night. He will stay | there for a week or two in the interest | of the Keane bill, which amends the| present law In order to include “Jap- anese” in the measure now relegating | children of Mongolian or Chinese pnr»\ entage to the Oriental schools. His ar- | gument to the legislators will follow the lines laid down in his brief in the postponed Aoki case. He will make hls‘ particular point upon the contention | that it is within the State’s rights to | legislate its police powers, which in- clude the government of the morals | and the education of its citizens. He will make the ppint that the Japanese are without a national standard of morality; that the presence of Japa- nese children (and adults) in Califor- | nia schools is a moral menace to the proper rearing of American chil- { | | dren. Burke may also take exceptions | to the general belief that the “big stick” has interfered with California legislation upon the Japanese subject and reiterate his belief that failure to g0 on record, in accordance with the popular wish, will create a large-sized political graveyard.

At 11 o'clock the anti-Bailey following offered a resolution instrucing the committee not to bring in a report at that time, but to send a sub-committes to St. Louis to secure the testimony of H. Clay Plerce and to embody such evidence In its final report. Adherents of Senator Balley promptly offered & substitute that the committes be dl charged at once and that Senator Hal- ley be fully indorsed. After a heated debate, the substitute resolution was passed. The most sensational features of the debate was when Senator Sentel sald that he would Introduce a resolution demanding the disbarment of J. D, Johnson of St. Louls, attorney for the Waters-Plerce and Standard Ofl Com- panies, from practicing in the courts of the State. Judge Johnson, he de- clared, had admitted that he was in a conspiracy to make a false afidavit, resolution, Sentel declared, would include a provision ousting the Waters-Pierce Oil Company from the State.

The Weinberg romance had its beginning in the office of one of the local agencies which make a spe- cialty of Russian matches. Weinberg subscribed, exchanged photographs and loving missives with the Russian maiden chosen for him by the execu- tive officers, the contract was entered into and she traveled to this country | and was married to him in March of last year. ‘Weinberg has only one arm and is| partially blind. When Mrs. Weinberg learned of this she did not take kindly to the discovery, but instituted a She would knock his eyeglasses off his nose every night, and when he plucked up the courage to enter an objection she belabored him with a poker, which | she kept at hand for that special pur- pose. The trouble culminated in Mrs. Welnberg's desertion, and the unhap- py husband sued for divorce. Ida S. Bozark, a native of Switzer- land, obtained a divorce from John Bozark, a Persian, in Judge Graham's court yesterday. They were refugees in Golden Gate Park after the fire, and a child was born to them there dur- ing the summer. Mrs. Bozark alleges that on September 2 Bozark took the | baby to the Children's Hospital against. her protest, that it died there shortly afterward and that he refused to pay the burial expenses. Judge Graham said, In granting the decrea, be horse- whipped. Emma M. Irving was granted a dai- vorce from B. W. Trving, Dora Stewert from Harry A. Siewert and Henrietta Masrie Graves from James Willlam Graves. Suits for divorce were filed by Marle Merkel against Sebastian Merkel, James M.
