ARB
WASHINGTON. 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.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-The senate to

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

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,

Wheras, The public sense of decency and I
morality has been grossly outraged by the :
publication in detail of the moat revolting
features of the evidence of the trial of

depth of moral depravity, degradation and
degeneracy on the part of Stanford White
unequalled In all the annals of our criminal
history, and, '
Whereaa. The publication In detail of thi
loathsome and licentious arts of the said
Stanford White In a long and unlnterruple J
career of debauchery of girlish virtue and
chuatltv must, of neceaslty, have a de
moralixlng influence on the youth of the
land; therefore, be It.
Resolved. By the senate and house of
representatives. In congresa assembled, thut
as a 'protection to the honor and good
name of the womanhuod of America, the

"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. The five
women who are acting aa captains have
