Feb. 14,-Ths sudden de velopment of a full-fledged filibuster re sulted today In the senate when an at tempt was made to force the adoption of the conference agreement on the Immigra tion bill. This report carries a provision Intended to aid in the settlement of the California-Japanese problem and speedy action was desired by the administration senators. Expressing sympathy with this object, yet regarding the report with sus picion on other points, Messrs. Bacon and Tillman first endpavored to have action de layed until tomorrow, that they might study the report. When this was refused the filibuster began. ,Mr. Bacon held the floor two .and a half hours. Mr. Tillman said he was preparing to make a ten-day fight on the floor against the report, be cause he objected to h Ing run over as with an automobile. Mr. Bacon objected that the report changed existing law in respects which he believed on hurried examination would de prive southern steles from obtaining even the meager labor supplies from abroad which was available Vmder the present lm. migration laws. Troee t'atll Today. , A truce was declared until tomorrow, at the suggestion of Senator Spooner, when the report will again come up for consid eration. Administration senators Interested in the adoption of the report were alarmed by apparent democratic hostility. All of the democratic leaders, when questioned as to their attitude, disclaimed the adoption of a party policy In regard to the report, and the senators making the objections in sisted that they were actuated wholly by 'resentment of what they thought was an attempt to force Immediate action. Sen ator Blackburn, chairman of the demo cratic steering committee, said he felt sure , there was no disposition to filibuster against the report beyond carrying it over ' -until tomorrow. Senators Bacon and Til man made similar statements. They agreed that trie restriction of Immigration pro vided In what la familiarly known aa the "cooll class" is of great Importance. They would not say what their attitude would be. It was made plain, however, that they would consider the report over night and then. If the question proved one on which ' It was advisable to hold a conference, the ' party will be called together tomorrow. The session Was begun with an extended ; address by Senator Knox In defense of the Pa II a re of Congress to Art Yesterday Caases Borne Disappointment. WASHINGTON, Feb. 14. Mayor Bchmlta and his associates are awaiting the action of congress on the Immigration bill, and the result of Becretarjr Root's negotiations with the Toklo government on the San Francisco school controversy. The ex clusion provision In the bill, which tho administration believes will solve the coolie labor problem. Is said to be entirely ! satisfactory to the Japanese government. and another and perhaps final conference will be held at the White House tomorrow, by which assurance Of the passage of the bill at this session, said to have been given the republican leaders are expected to be discussed. The failure of congress to take some action on the Immigration bill today was a disappointment to the members of congress from California and to Mayor Schmlts and the members of the school DEATH DELAYS THAW TRIAL Wifg of Juror Bolton piei and Recess la Taken Until ifacday. JURORS ARE ALLOWED TO SEPARATE Mr. Jerome Withdraws Objection ta Dr. Evans Statin Conversatlona on Which Insanity Opinion " Is Rased. NEW YORK, Feb. 14. Another tragic chapter In the history of the Thsw-Vhlte episode was written today when death stepped in to halt . the famous trial. - The wife of Juror Joseph B. Bolton died this afternoon soon after her husband had reached her bedside. He had been sum moned from the court room, where the trial had been In progress less than fifteen minutes. The formal announcement of Mrs. Bol ton's death was made In court shortly after I p. m., the hour set for the after noon session, and Justice Fitzgerald Im mediately ordered an adjournment of the case until next Monday , morning. The court alao ordered, with the consent of counsel, that the other eleven Jurymen be board, but they are confident that the given their liberty and no longer be held measure will be adopted without serious together. He admonished the Jurors to be opposition. Mayor Schmlts tonight said he looked .for an amicable settlement of all the questions at Issue at tomorrow's con ference. "From the telegraphic reports I receive, from San Franclsoo,1' the mayor said, -"the newspapers have changed their tactics and are now Inclined to give us a 'fair deal.' the sentiment of the coast people has changed since they are satisfied that we are trying to bring about a solution of the school question that will be for the best Interests of the state Of California. The tone of the messages we are now receiving are of praise." . Mayor Schmtta's proposition for separate schools for the Japanese children has been submitted to the Toklo government and the Japanese embassy hopes to be able to de liver the. mikado's answer to Secretary Root tomorrow. If this suggestion Is not acceptable to Japan Mayor Schmlts and members of the school board will agree to abolish the oriental schools In San Fran cisco. If tomorrow's conference' results In an agreement, as expected. President Roosevelt may Issue an official statement after the conference, outlining the basis of the government. RAILROADS TO MB PROSECITKD Xamner of Units to Be Brought Coder Twrntr-Ela-ht-Honr Law.' WASHINOTON, D. C, Feb. 14.-The De partment of Justice Is about' to proceed against a number of railroads for viola tions of the law relating to the shipment of cattle. This law provides that cattle shipped In Interstate commerce shall not be confined on cars longer than twenty- ,.,, , , .. -eight hours , continuously without their from Ctah. I being unloaded for feed, rest and water; The agricultural appropriation bill alao was considered. , ! It became known today through infor mation imparted In official circles that Japan regards' with favor the ' amend ment which It Is proposed to add U the ' immigration bill now pending In congress, and which In effect prevents the entry Into this country of Japanese coolies. In fact. It is stated that the suggestion that this be done first came from Japan, which country never has approved of the lmtnl . gratlon pt large numbers of Its subjects to foreign lands. ' In opposing the bill Mr. Bacon said 'that it was necessary, that senators should ; do a great Injustice to another section of ' the country (to protect the Pacific coast. It is important that the Pacific coast i . should be protected and that the senators of the south ever stood ready to co operate pr Ita protection. Sooth Needs Labor. Mr. Bacon then turned his attention to ' the acarclty of cptton mill labor in the clflc. In Ban Francisco; Lake Shore A . south and read at length a report from I Michigan Southern, In Buffalo; Northern the Department of Commerce and Labor , Pacific, In St. Paul. except In cases where a request is pre viously made, the time may be extended to thirty-six hours. . In many cases, it Is alleged, cattle have been confined on cars without rest, food or water for fifty hours and In some cases sixty hours, and It is the purpose of the government to Insist upon the full maxi mum penalty of 1500. " . ' Under the old Inw, which permitted no extension of time, the department prose cuted about 1,300 cases of violations of the twenty-eight-hour law and In each case the railroad plead guilty and paid the maximum penalty of $100. The railroads to be prosecuted and the cities and states In which the suits will be brought follow: New York, Chicago & St Louis, at Bur falo; Atchison. Topeka & Santa Fe, n Colorado; Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, In Nebraska; Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, at Chicago; 'Chicago Rock Island A Pacific, in Kansas; -Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago ft St. Louis, at Cleveland; South- . em Pacific, In San Francisco; Union Pa- . regarding the situation, which he con . atrued to indicate a desire of the depart--.ment to aid In meeting the need for labor, Mr. Bacon said one-fifth of the spindles - in the cottpn mills of North and South Carolina and Georgia were Idle because of a scarcity of labor. ' ' While Mr. Bacon was speaking Senator Tillman marked with alips of paper cer tain passages In a pile of books he had on his desk. During a pause by ' Mr. Bacon, Mr. Beverldge asked if he had concluded. , "Oh, no," was Mr. Bacon's reply, "the Senator very much mistakes the sqppe of ray remarks." "I am Just getting ready to talk for a week or ten days," interjected .Mr. Till man. "When I get ao little lustlce at the hands of senators as not to be per mitted even to read a bill, I am prepared to fight. I object to having . a matter brought In here and run over us like an automobile." Senator Spooner came to the relief of the situation at this point, saying It was evident that senators were at a disadvan tage, not having had time to read the report. "I appeal to the senator," he said, turning to Mr. Dillingham, "to ' let the matter go over until tomorrow." Mr. Dillingham, saying he recognized the situation, consented and the report went over, two and a half hours having been consumed (n Its consideration. CANAL COMMISSION IS NAMED President iends List of Nominations to the Senate. WASHINOTON, Feb. 14. The, following nominations of Isthmian canal commission era were sent to the senate today by Presi dent Roosevelt: Theodore P Shonts. chairman; John F. Stevens, chief engineer; Brigadier General Peter C. Hnlnes, retired, civil engineer: Mordecal T. Endlcort. Benjamin M. Herrod, Colonel W. C. Gorgas, U. S. ,A., and Jack son Smith. A statement given out at the War depart ment saya: Mr. Shonts expects to retire March 4 next, but In view of the fact that the names have not been sent to th senate before, and it was proper to Isscure confirmation, this list was sent in, although a vacancy will occur after the adjournment of con gress In the resignation of Mr. Shonts. It is expected to make Mr. Stevens chair man of the commission and the other va cancy thus caused In the commission has not been determined upon. PROCEEDINGS OV THE HOISK lavestlsrallon of Water Resoareea. WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-The senate to day passed a bill to provide for an Invests Day Spent la Dlsensslna Naval Appro priation BUI. WASHINGTON, Feb. 14. The naval ap propriation Mil occupied the entire time of the house today and It was almost com pleted.' , The single remaining section Is that increasing the naval establishment. It wss allowed to go over until tomorrow, when Hi Is expected an effort will be made to reduoe the number of battleships pro vided for In the bill. ; Points of order were made ajralnet provisions of the bill and sustained. guided by their honesty and their oaths and not to read 'the newspapers or to discuss the Chaw case wltH anybody. .The death of Juror Bolton's wife had a depress ing effect on everyone connected with the trial. The prisoner seemed to feel the matter quite keenly when he was brought Into court to hear the formal announce ment of a postponement. The fact that the Jurors have been kept In close confinement since they were se lected for trial service and that Mr. Bol ton had been allowed to visit his home only three times during his wife's fatal 111. ness lent a pathetic aspect and the greatest sympathy was felt on all sides. Mrs. Bolton suffered from double pneu monia. Her condition became serious yes terday, when the morning session of the trial was abandoned to allow the Juror to visit his home, far up in the Bronx. Bol ton was accompanied by two other Jury men and by two court officers. The law provides that no Juror shall at any time be separated from the others. Mrs. Bolton rallied yesterday afternoon, her husband returned to his place and the trial went on. When court convened at 10:30 thla morning Mr Bolton was again In seat No. 11, but It was stated that his wife's condi tion was critical and that he might be called away at any time. Evans to Give Conversations. Dr. Evans, superintendent of the New Jersey hospital for the Insane, was re called as an alienist to contiffue ills di rect examination. The witness was asked to detail the conversations he had had on various occasions with Thaw In t"he Tombs. He had already declared these conversatlona U be an essential feature In his conclusion that Thaw waa of un sound mind at the time of the doctor's first three visits to htm, the last being on September 22. Mr. Jerome had with drawn his objections to the statements by Thaw going into the evidence and Dr. Evans was about to detail the events (it his first visit on August 4, when the sum mons for Juror Bolton came. A recess was taken until 2 p. m. and the Juror, still accompanied by two of his associates and two court officers, hur ried to the little home In the Bronx where Mrs. Bplton was being kept alive only by the. use of oxygen. She died soon after her husband's arrival. ' In releasing the Jurors at the afternoon session. Justice Fltxgerald took pains to state that the rule keeping them together hadt not been adopted on the separate recommendation of either side, but was the result of an agreement based n rea sons which appeared excellent alike to the Interests of the defendant and of the peo ple. There was Intended 'not the slightest reflection on the Jury In any way.' It would have been well. Justice Fits gerald remarked, If the rule could have been adhered to until the close of the trial but the sad occurrence had brought about a condition which must be con fronted. New Trial May Resnlt. In announcing the adjournment until Monday Justice Fltxgerald expressed ths "hope" that the trial might then proceed. It la realized, however, that this will de pend largely on- the condition In which Juror Bolton may be at that time. If ha feels that he can put aside all personal considerations and cpntinue to act aa a Juror, the trial will be resumed. If he feels that his condition of mind is such or that his personal affairs are such as to prevent his giving his whole atten tion to the case during the remaining days of the trial, aome other solution of the difficulty must be looked for. After the Jury left the room Attorney Jerome announced to the court that the attorneys for both sides had agreed that ths testimony of Dr. Deemer and Dr. Bingaman ahould bo taken In the form of depositions that they might return, to their homes. These doctors. It Is said, will testify regarding Insanity In both sides of Harry Thaw's family.

Letters Written to a Bride by Her Best Girl Friend Dearest Annie: 1 Do you remember James Whltcomb Riley's poem, "Out to Old Aunt Mary's"? Well, it may be possible for James Whltcomb to idealize such a visit for I always admired the poem so much. Tou remember how we used tb recite Riley T I am afraid I have had to change my Ideas on the subject. I've promised so often that I Just felt I must visit Aunt , so, like the funny man in the cjreus. ."Here I am." It Isn't nearly so funny though, when you consider the inconvenience. Just think, all, of the cooking is done on a "wood" stove and the ashes and dust, whew! Then they have no hot water eystem and you have to beat the water a "kettle" at a time, or submit to the inevitable and wash in cold toe cold water, ugh! It makes me shiver to think of it. a I wish they- had a gas company here. Tour letters sound like mes- sages from fairyland. It must be perfectly lovely, that dear little home of yours, with so many conveniences. Isn't John Just the loveliest? Of . course you think so anyway, and he is so considerate. It was beautiful in him to order those lovely Welsbach lights and your waffle Iron ? wait until I visit you. I'll astonish you with the way I can "oierate" a 9 waffle Iron, even if I am an old maid in your bedlnimed vision. Oh Annie, I must tell you about our rabbit hunt. The snow was ( so inviting that Edith and I thought it would be such fun to go hunting. I Well, we found a queer little track, three small imprints in the snow. 4 And we followed it and followed it until what do you think we met n little cousin Eddie with his flobert. He's such a comical genius, you know. We asked htm to help us catch the rabbit, and the little rascal , i only grunted. "Huh, you girls don't know how to hunt. Vou're going J E the wrong way." 80 we went back to the house, "sadder but wlber ' Oh. how I wished for that dear little gas grate of yours. Write soon, dearie, I'll be here another week at least. Lovingly, Nellie. , P. 8. Tell John to be careful or the Gas Company will wlu too i much of your admiration with all of their convehWmrrs. Eselnstoa Bill Offered.

We are i Just now In the midst of a campaign to , ralve the remaining $16,U00 of the $100,000 ! neeaea for our building. For three years we have been making an effort to raise t'.:ls money and have made thouaanda of calls and written thousands of letters. During the campaign last spring Mr. Hoanlund very generously donated $10,0uO, which gave us new life and hope and made possible the continuance of 'the effort, but no other large subscriptions have come. "A Friend" has given us $1,600; one of our large department stores gave $1,220; we have eight $1,000 subscriptions, sixteen $300, 2o0 between $5u0 and $100, 81$ from $26 to $50 and $33,159 In subscriptions less than There have been nearly 6,000 sub scriptions. Our young women, members of the association, themselves raised $26,000. During our campaign last spring we suc ceeded In raising $77,000 in all. Then came the San Francisco disaster and wa were obliged to slop. Since that time we have by continual perseverance raised another $10,000 in small subscriptions. Now we ap peal to the public to help us In this last great effort for $16,000 to complete the needed $100,000. We had hoped that, taking Into consid eration the many things the women have done to help along the city Interests, the public would be willing to help In this one thing that the women of the city have asked for. We may be pardoned If we venture to auggeat that a number of tha same women are working In thla associa tion who have dime so many other things for the good of Omaha. When tho women were axked to asxlst In making the Trans mlssinaippi exposition a succesa, they moat heartily gave their efforta. When the Alt-Har-Ben asked for help one year the aama women did the work and alao gave a large entertainment to asalaf In the Auditorium. . They ahto gave great time and means to care for the soldiers ' on their return from the Phlllpptnea and 1 did much good work In feeding the San Francisco sufferers by the thousand when I they paesed through here last year, j Our work has been almost entirely self ! supporting for the past fourteen years. I and we hoped this would count for some thing when we went into the field to ask for money for the building, but we have found the subscriptions are not nearly so large as they have been to aome organlza tlona who have aaked for support every year. There are over 10,000 wage-earning women in the city, and aome of our large whole sale houaea are advertising for more glrla to come to Omaha from the small towns in Nebraska and adjoining states. Many young women are coming to Omaha every uay seeking boarding houses and employ ment, many of them believing they can earn a livelihood here, but being quite incapable of doing ao. There la no other organisation in thla city that does any thing to help the wage-earning women. There ae refuge homea and means of car ing for those who have been unfortunate, but the Young Women's Christian asso ciation throw around young women a helpful home Influence and seek a to help young women to the wholeaome, pure life inai ia nera nerore coming to a large city. The content will close at ft p. m, next Vuesday. We hope to get all the money .necessary, ao we need not go before the l-ubllc attain for our building.
