Trl-State League Reinstated.
NEW YORK, Jan. g. Putting aside dis
putes and differences of years standing,
the National Association of Base Ball
: leagues, which Includes the minor leagues,
adopted a reaolutlon at Its annual meeting
here today admitting the "outlaw" Trl
State league to membership aa a Class B
'. organization. Thla waa In consonance
with the action of the National Baae Ball
commission taken at Cincinnati on Morv
day. The commission is the highest court
, of base ball and in recognising the "outlay"
It took cognisance of the fact that that
organization had been the refuge for con
tract jumping major league playere.
fr The recognition of the Trl-8tate league
was made under these conditions:
All playera who have heretofore violated
national contracte not to be permitted to
play in any national agreement league ex-
nent thft TH-fltata league.
f All players whose names appear on list
unmiltea wno nave aireaay signpu con
tracts with the national agreement clubs
' except contract Jumpers to belong to ths
-duns with wnicn tney nave signea con
tracts All National association players whose
names appear In list submitted and are
' not contract Jumpers to be adjudicated by
the national board of the National aasocla-
tion.
r All national agreement playera and all
former Trl-State playera including contract
". lumpers, who are to remain In the Trl
State league, against whom National assoc
iation clubs can establish valid claims for
money advanced or received, to be required
lo pay duck sucn monies.
In effect ths matter Is loft so that all of
the players In the Trl-State league who
came to it from minor leagues In an Ir
regular way may remain In those leagues.
- The National association. It Is pointed
out, will have no Jurisdiction over players
who have "Jumped" from the minor
. leagues Into the Tri-Slats.

slightest Interest In any of the filings.
William C. 8 moot, additional farmer at
the Fine Ridge agency, testified that he
had received a letter from A, R. Modlsett
relative to securing Indians to file on lands
within the Modlsett range. Hs turned ths
letter over to other parties, to Frank Go
ing, who read the letter opAily to the
other Indians. There was no secrecy about
It, hs said.
"The only participation I had In the
matter at all," said Mr. Smoot, "was to
answer Inquiries of the Indians relative
to their rights to make homestead filings.
j What, the Indians did waa of their own
free will, with no suggestion from me or
anyone else."
Frank M. Brome, a land lawyer of Alli
ance and former receiver of ths land office
at Alliance, testified that A. R. Modlaett
came to him to ascertain If ths Indians
had a legal right to make a homestead
filing. The witness Informed him the In
dians had a perfect and legal right to do
so. He told Modlsett further that they
had a right to lease the land and that the
land belonged to ths entrymen, Indian or
white man, so long as they complied with
the homestead laws.
Hot Contrndlets Woman.
Fred Hoyt of Gordon, former United
States commissioner, was called to Impeach
the testimony of Mrs. Sarah M. Allen.
"I did not make the statement to Mr.
Modlsett tn my office at Gordon In the
presence of Mrs. Allen that 'we had bet
ter pay her off, as she had only three
months' more time, anyhow,' nor any state
ment bearing the slightest resemblance
to It."
Other witnesses of ths afternoon were
Mayor James C. Dahlman, who was called
to testify to the character of A. R. Modl
sett. whom ha described as "one of the
best men In that country." He also testified
to the excellence of the character of H.
C. Dale and W. C. Smoot. M. F. Harring
ton of O'Neill and George C. Comer of
the vicinity of Rushvllle also testified aa
to the good character of A. R. Modlsett,
H. C. Dale and W. C. Smoot.

the government and an adjournment was
taken to 8:30 this morning.
CANAL CONTRACT CONSIDERED
Seaato Committee Takes l Qaestlen
of Terms of Proposltloa
to Bidders.
WASHINGTON, Jan. , 8. -The terms of
the DroDosed canal contract was considered
t today by the senate committee on Inter
. It ,- A , h
oceanic canals. It waa declared by some
of the senators that ths contract will have
ths effect of making the successful bidder
only an agent of the government and not
relieve the government from any responsi
bility. Other features of the contract were
orlUcl,1, but 11 w declde "se no
' opposing action.
The committee agreed unanimously to
support Morgan's bill to place ths Panama
railroad under ths Isthmian Canal com
mission and thus have all of ths govern
ment's affairs on ths Isthmus under ons
head.
Nominations of canal commlslsonsrs
were not considered.
Ths committee Instructed Chairman Mil
lard to ask ths Isthmian Canal commis
sion for a detailed report of all ths borings
mads by ths commission along ths routs
of ths canal during ths last year. The
action was tsken because soms members
of ths committee have been Informed that
ths borings show that - ths proposed sits
for ths Gatun dam, ths keystone of ths
lock canal project, la untenable. Their In
formation Is that ths boring passed through
an undurated clay bed Into mud and water
and that ths foundation la Insufficient for
a structure so largs and hsavy as ths
ons proposed.

PIERRE, S. D., Jan. 8. (Special Tele
gram.) Governor Crawford and the new
administration was started on Its course of
two years with perfect winter weather and
a cloudless sky. The lobbies of representa
tive hall, where the Inaugural ceremonies
were held. Were crowded at an early hour
by those who desired to see the ceremony
and took positions long before noon to be
sure of places and held them until after 4
O'clock, when Governor Crawford finished
the reading of his message, which was
filled with demands for the legislative re
forms which were the issues in the late
campaign and which was received with fre
quent bursts of applause from the mem
bers In Joint session.
Both houses met at noon, the senate be
ing called to order by J. E. McDougall, the
retiring lieutenant governor, and the oath
was administered to the members by Pre
siding Justice Fuller. The principal ap
pointive officers selected were L. M. Simons
of Davison, secretary of the senate; W. C.
Rempfer, Hutchinson county, assistant; O.
M. Osbom, Miner county, sergcant-at-arms;
John McDonald of Beadle, assistant.
The house members were called to order
by Secretary, of State Wlpf and the oath

Aa soon aa the organization . wsa com
pleted both bodies went Into Joint ses
sion and received the state officers, where
the oath was administered to them by
Presiding Justice Fuller and the messages
of Retiring Governor Elrod and Governor
Crawford were received.
The proceedings took up most of the aft
ernoon, and tonight the Inaugural ball is
the center of attraction, while political and
legislative matters are relegated to the
rear while the new state officers are re
ceiving their friends, and the women are
enjoying their time of the Inaugural cere
monies. Gamble's Chances Good. '
In the morning politics will again hold
sway, when the senatorial caucus will be
held to decide whether Senator .Gamble

that the elements for a po'ltleal storm are

hoped to end It all by ths caucus tomor

Oath Taken In Charek.
DENVER. Jan. 8. Rev. Dr. Henry A.
Buchtel, chancellor of Denver university,
was Inaugurated as governor of Colorado
today, and for the first tlms in the history
of ths state the Inauguration took place In
a church. In deference to ths governor's
wish ths oath of office was administered to
him and he delivered his inaugural address
to the legislature In Trinity Methodist
Episcopal church, which he aided largely In
building while bo was pastor of that con
gregation. Ths governor concluded his sd
dress with a prayer, followed by the Lord's
prayer. In which many of ths audience
Joined. About 2,500 persons attended the
inaugural ceremonies, the ' church being
crowded. Following ths Inauguration the
governor and other stats officers were es
corted from the church by a military and
civic procession, the senior claaa of Denver
university marching alongside ths gov
ernor's carriage.
Governor Buchtel devoted the greater por
tion of his address to ths questions of rail
way legislation and education. In treating
the former he said that the weak and Im
practicable parts of the national law re
ferred to. In President Roosevelt's message
to congress must be omitted from Colorado.
Nothing would bs done to drive capital
away from Colorado, but Instead every
thing would be dons to Invite both capital
and people to the stats. He said:
All our people and all railway officials
and Investors of capital and all prospective
cltlsens of Colorado must come to under
stand that the day of political vagaries
has passed forever in this stats and that
men of practical sense, with breadth of
view and moral integrity are now tn con
trol of the legislative, the Judicial and the
executive departments In Colorado.
Sals of Stats Load.
Ths governor favored n reasonable charge
for tuition In ths education Institutions of
ths stats ss a means of Improving ths re
sults to ths student.
Ths governor characterised local option
law as ths application of ths principle of
ths squars deal to ths question of the open
saloon.

Pardee on Japanese.
SACRAMENTO, Cal., Jan. 8. Oovsrnor
Pardee delivered his last messago to ths
legislature today. Concerning ths Japaneso
school question Governor Pardee said!
It Is safe to aay that the president, when
he penned the portion of his annual mes
sage upon the opening of congress In
which he refers to the treatment of th
Japanese In the San Francisco schools, waa
not aware of the conditions on this coast,
especially In California. In common with
the ieople of the east, who hnve had no
experience with the unaeslmllable people
of Japan and China, the president does not
understand the racial difference between
the Japanese and Chlnee and people of
Caucasian blood. Coming In contact only
with a few educated and Intelligent In
dividuals of these two races, the people of
the eastern states do not understand that
to permit the Immigration of only a small
fraction of the whole number of these
people means the monopolising by them of
such pursuits as they may engage In.
This monopolisation would not mitigate
against the public good were the monopo
lisers cnpable of being absorbed Into the
body polltlrs In this generation, or even the
next, becoming Integral parts of our cos
mopolitan people.
Unfortunately, however, neither the
Japanese nor the Chinese appear to be
capable of absorption and assimilation Into
the mass of our people. It Is useless to
expect thnt people with such different
racial characteristics and civilization enn
ever mix with our people and become ah
sorbed Into our body politic: they cannot
become good American citizens; It is use.
less to attempt to make them such.
. Why Law Was Passed.
Under these circumstances It Is not - at
all strange thnt there Is an aversion to
the mingling of the children of the two
races. And therefore, California has de
creed that, whenever It Is so desired, the
local school authorities miy provide Sep.
arate schools for the Chinese and Japanese
children. In which they shall be taught ns
Caucasian children are and by as equally
capable teachers.
In the case of the Japanese this senara.
tlon seems to be the most necessary, he
cause many of the Japanese who desire to
sttend our schools are much older than the
Caucasian children with whom, on account
of their deficient learning, the Japanese
must be enrlussed. It Is not at all de.
slrable that youths, even Caucasian youths
of 18 years or , more of age. should be
associated In the schools with children of
tender ages. The reason therefor Is suffi
ciently explained by Its mere statement.
The laws of California require the senara,
lion or me ninese ana Japanese chlldirn
from the Caucasian. The treaty, as t road
It. does not require that the JnpVnese shnll
be put In classes with our f'llldren. To
give them as good school facilities more
than compiles with the treaty. Therefore
It would appear that Ban Francisco, In
providing separate seb'xila for the Japanese,
Is acting strletlysvlthln the spirit and
letter of the law; of this state and Is In
no way acttnjr In contrariety to the treaty
with Japan, i
Ttv Quarrel with Orient.'
The ttate of California, a sovereign state
of the United States of America, has no
qivirrel with the government of either
Japan or China. On the contrary, Cali
fornia has the greatest respect for these
two countries and deprecates equally any
Indignities which may be put upon Amer
icana In Japtn or China, or upon Japanese
or Chines subjects In this country. We
realize thoroughly that it Is only tlie Irre
sponsible and vicious In China and Japan
who Insult and Injure American cltlsens;
we know equally well, and we hope that
the Japanese and Chinese government know
also, that it is only the Irresponsible and
vicious who In America Insult and Injure
the subjects of these two great nations.
But, nevertheless, until the courts of this
country shall have declared that California
has no right to do so, this state reserves
to Itsself the right and privilege to con
duct, under the law, state, national and
treaty, its schools tn such manner as seems
best to us, and this without the slightest
disrespect to the government of the United
States or the subjects of any foreign na
tion. In his Inaugural address Governor Glllett
recommends the passage of laws encourag
ing railroad development and . river trans
portation and Just and reasonable laws for
the protection of personal and corporation
rights. He also requests the passage of
a pure food bill. He further' invites the
consideration of the legislature to a direct
primary law.
Hoch Talks for Kansas.
TOPEKA, Kan., Jan. 8. In his message
Governor Hoch advocated the passage of
a law forbidding the giving of free rail
way transportation to any except actual
railroad employes and said:
1 recommend the appointment of a com
mittee to hear argu.nents fur snd against
a proposition to reduce railroad fans in
(his state. A reduction of railroad fares Is
sure lo come. It Is only a question whether
or not thut time has arrived.
He said the board ot railroad commis
sioners should have a larger contlgent fund
and be able to employ an expert to make
a thorougly Investigation of freight rates.
Of the bills passea by the last legislature
directed against ths Standard Oil company,
he said:
The maximum freight rate law and the
antl-dlscrlmlnatlon law have made poalble
the establishment of ten independent oil
