JAPANESE QUESTION UP

5 SENATOR RAYNER DEFENDS THE RIGHT OF A STATE AND IS LISTENED TO MOST ATTENTIVELY.

Publishers l'rcsa.J Washington, Dec. 12. The house sdopted the concurrent resolution to adjourn Dec. 20 for the Christmas holidays, to reconvene Jan. 3. j The house began the reading of. the legislative, executive and judicial bill. The legislative bill will be followed by fta urgent deficiency bill, the main Hems of which carry appropriations cf $250,000 for the department of agriculture to enforce the pure food! laws, 450,000 for the war department covering the transportation of officers to end from uba, with the understanding that the republic of Cuba shall reimburse the United States. Included in the $50,000 item is an appropriation to pay traveling expenses of army officers visiting military camps. Modifications of the Chinese exclusion act probably will not be considered by the house committee on. foreign liens until after Christmas. John II. Perrin of Indianapolis appeared before the house committee on banking and currency in support of the American Bankers' association credit currency measure. lie urged the necessity for $200,000,000 more in bank notes.'mnd explained the predicament In which bankers find themselves at crop making time as a result of the great demand for money. The senate agreed to a resolution of inquiry regarding the details of alleged experiments with a cholera virus by the army surgeon, Dr. Strong, at Manila, and whether such experiment resulted in the death of 10 or more persons. The senate adopted a resolution calling on the president to furnish information and all correspondence relative to the seizure by the Mexican government of the fishing schooner Silas Stearns. The president sent v the following nominations to the senate: Ambassadors extraordinary and plenipotentiary: Henry White of Rhode Island to France, Lloyd C. Griscom of Penn

sylvania to Italy, John W. Riddle of Minnesota to Russia, Irving B. Dudley of California to Brazil; Envpy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary, Leslie Combs of Kentucky to Peru. Favorable reports were ordered by the senate committee on interstate commerce on the nominations of Judion C. Clements of Georgia, James H.Jlarlan of Illinois and Edgar E. Clark of Iowa, to be interstate commerce commissioners. "It is the present intention, to have Cortelyou take charge of the treasury portfolio March 4,"4fald Senator Aidrich, who talked with President Roosevelt about Cortelyou's nomination to e secretary of the treasury, which was held up by the senate finance committee because no date was specified as to when the appointment would become effective. The same formal objection. It is said, applied to other nominations before -the senate, notably, that of James R. Garfield, to he secretary of the interior. It has been customary heretofore to specifically Indicate the date such appointments are to take effect, and its omission in the present case apparently was an oversight. Senator Spooner accompanied Senator Aldrich to the White House. As b result of the conference between Aldrich, Spooner and the president, the nominations of George Von L. Meyer to be postmaster general and Garfield to be secretary of interior, will be dated to take effect March 4. An alteration will be made in the form of the nomination of Attorney General Moody to be associate justice of the supreme court, Bonaparte to be attorney general, Metcalf to be secretary of navy and Oscar Straus to be secretary of commerce and labor, which will take effect Dec. 21. President Roosevelt approved a senate bill providing for the use of certified checks to sscure compliance with proposals and contracts for naval supplies. This is the firs, act of the present confess to become a law. President Roosevelt decided to send to congress Tuesday the report made by Secretary Metcalf of the department of commerce and labor into the alleged discrimination against Japanese in San Francisco schools and in other ways. Much interest was . manifested in the senate in the position defended by Senator Rayner of Maryland in his discussion of the Japanese question. He contended that the inherent rights of a state could not be violated by treaty any more than they could be violated by congress. To support this he cited many adjudicated cases before the supreme court and arrayed long lines of eminent authorities. Mr. Rayner al?o gave th cases and authorities of the other side to the propcsiiioJX. -lie. was interrupted rnsnv

times during ms argument ny senstors who wished to bring out specific points In the discussion. He spoke more than an hour. Caustic criticism of President Roosevelt's position on the Japanese question prefaced Senator Rayner's aiscussion in the senate of the const! tutional question involved. If the military and civil forces of the federal government are to be used by the president, Rayner said, it becomes very important to know the exact power of the president in the matter. "Because," he added, "it is quite a serious matter in view of the great calamity that has lately befallen the city of San Francisco for the presi dent tc contemplate the bombarding of the city at this time, and to declare war against the boards of county chool trur.tees of California, if there is no jurisdiction or pretext upon which such ferocious proceedings can be undertaken. If he can take possession of the public schools of California, and compel the state to admit to them Japanese students contrary to the laws of California, he could with equal propriety send us an amendment to the Santa Domingo treaty and demand the admission of the negro children of Santo Domingo into the white schools of South Carolina, or of any state of the Union. Of course, if the people have come to the conclusion that everything the president recommends is right, then there is hardly any use in contesting any of his propositions, and instead of conferring upon him the power to give congress information of the state of the Union, we might confer upon him the function of furnishing his own peculiar views upon the entire state of the universe and recommending any improvements or changes in the general plan of creation that he may deem expedient from the cradle to the grave." Senator Rayn proposed, he said, to plant himself on these two propositions: That there is no provision whatever in the treaty with

Japan that confers the right that the president speaks of or gives to the government of Japan the privileges it claims in connection with the public school system of California, or of any other state; if there was such a provision in this state or any treaty conferring the right, the treaty would be void without any authority on the part of the United States to make it, and in violation of the Constitution and the

treaty making pewer of the govern

ment.

WHERE THE MONEY GOES

AFTER BEING APPROVED BY STATE AUDITOR, TREASURER MYRICK WILL MAKE HIS SETTLEMENT WITH STATE.

County Auditor Hanes aud his deputies yesterday completed the distribution of . taxes to the various funds, putting the final touches on the semi-annual settlement sheet for the November installment of taxes shortly before 4 o'clock. The work, which comes twice each year. May and November, is perhaps the most arduous that any county officer must perform and calls for the exercise of great care and accuracy. Though it is a tradition of the auditor's office iu this and other counties of tqTial or greater population, that six weeks are required to complete the settlement heet, Auditor Hanes and his force accomplished the work in much less time. The start

was made on Wednesday, November 11, the day that the tax books were turned over by Treasurer Myrick to the auditor. One month will not have elapsed until tomorrow and by that time the settlement sheet will have been received by the State Auditor for his inspeciton. When it is approved by the State Auditor, County Treasurer Myrick will journey to Indianapolis to make his settlements with the State. Distribution of Taxes.

Publishers' Press. Berlin, Dec. 12. Emperor William authorized Chancellor Von Buelow to dissolve the reichstag and order new elections if tfie supplementary appropriations asked for by the government are not granted by the house. The question of the reichstag appropriating enough money to keep the present army formation in Southwest Africa in the field is, according to the conviction of the government, equivalent to the question whether the colony shall be given up or retained. An appeal to the country, if necessary, will be made on that issue, the government's position being that if the present garrison of German Southwest Africa is reduced from 12,000 to 2,500 men, a3 the center party and the extreme left contend should be done, insurgent datives will obtain nossesslon of the colony.

THE ENTIRE NATION IS VITALLY INTERESTED IN SENATOR BEVERIDGE'S BILL.

Publishers' Press. Cassel, Prue-sa, Jtc 12. Wilhelm Meyer was sentence' is 15 years in the penitentiary for "aggravated robbery on the corpse cf Mrs. Vogel." The state attorney, hile fully convinced that Meyer murdered Mrs. Vogel, admitted the inadequacy of his proof and asked the jury to convict lleyer of robbery only. Meyer put on ar bold front throughout his trial anl declared himself innocent of the murder. His story was that he found Mrs. Vogel dead when he returned to Valdungen after a visit to Cassel. The rope around the neck was tied to a bedpost, he said, and apparently she committed suicide. He explained that he feared to repoVt the case to the police because suspicion might fasten on him. He therefore threw the body into a trunk and lived in the house with his grewsome presence for nine months. He then shipped the trunk to Frankfort. Owing to the advanced stage of decomposition of the body it was impossible for experts to determine the cause of Mrs. Vogel's death. Meyer arrived at New York last May

from Germany and was arrested on

the charge of having murdered Mrs. Vogel, who was his aunt. He was extradicted and returned here In June.

Through information received by the

trips of the Purdue corn train, Indiana

farmers have made the discovery that

if they desire first-class corn next year

they will have to Import seed coin or

else use corn of a year ago. Tests of

the corn grown this year result in

showing that only a Fmall per cent ofj

it is fit for seed. Ears which look smooth and resemble first-class corn are found to have been blackened at

the small end of the grains, the germ having been destroyed presumably by early severe frost. A rush is now being made to secure old corn for plant ing and many farmers will secure peed corn from other localities and oth cr. states.
