RESOLUTIONS AT

FRISCO MEETING Indignation Is Expressed There Over the Action Taken by the President. A REPLY IS FORMULATED MAYOR SCHMITZ AND OTHERS DE NOUNCE METCALF'S REPORT ON JAPANESE QUESTION ASSERT STATE RIGHTS. Publishers Press. San Francisco, Dec. 24. Resolutions denouncing PresidentRoosevelt's message to congress on the Japanese situation In San Francsco, resenting his Interference in the domestic affairs of the state, expressing want of confidence In Secretary Metcalf and declaring that his report to the president on the Japanese school question is "utterly unworthy of credence la any pasticular," and containing "numerous misstatements and misrepresentations obviously one sided and grossly exaggerated, was adopted at a mass meeting held at Walton's pavilion under the auspices of the Japanese and Korean exclusion league. About 2,500 people were In attendance. Among the speakers who discussed the situation were Mayor Schmitz, Walter MacArthur, editor of the Coast Seamen's Journal, and other prominent labor leaders. Mayor Schmitz said that he was willing to lay down his life by the side of his fellow men in fighting the Japanese hordes." If naturalized as proposed by President Roosevelt, he said the Japanese would come to California in such numbers that they would not only soon control offices by their votes, but would make inroads into the prosperity of the country. Walter MacArthur said the "people of California will defend their state rights against the assumption of these latter day federalists," and declared that the issue of state rights raised by the president's message has superseded the issue of the segregation of Japanese children. Other speakers addressed the meet ing along similar lines, defending state rights, and characterized V i president's attitude- as "meddling in the affairs of this state." Resolutions termed a "reply to the president" were adopted, of which th. following are a part: "Resolved, that we insist upon and shall to the limit of our power maintain our rights under the constitution of the United States and the constitution of California, and as a matter "of practical necessity and mental welli being of our people, to segregate the pupils in the schools in such manner as reason and experience shall dictate, and to adopt and enforce such other regulation as may be deemed wise and expedient in the conduct of our educa tional and (other state or municipal affairs; further. 'Resolved, that we resent the pres ident's threats of compulsion by armed force in a matter clearly within the purview of municipal and state au thority as insulting to the state, and as an intolerable reflection upon Its rights as a sovereign constituent of the United States. 'Resolved, that we are opposed to the president's recommendation that an act be passed specifically providing for the naturalization of the Japanese and that the powers of the federal government be enlarged for the pur pose of subverting the proper authority of this and other states; further. Resolved, that the powers vested In the federal government by the re spective states are designed for use in protecting the latter in the exercise of their reserved rights and functions; consequently any attempt or threat to use these powers to prevent or obstruct the freest possible exercise of the right and functions must be regarded as an act of usurpation menacing the freedom of the American people, endangering the stability of Amer ican institutions and demanding the strongest possible protest on the part of every patriotic citizen; Resolved, that the report of Secre tary Metcalf is utterly unworthy in any particular, the same being obvi ously one-sided and grossly exagger ated presentation of Incidents which so far as they exist at all, bear no signicance to the question at issue between the government of the United States and of Japan, or between the state of California and President Roosevelt."

NO CHRISTMAS MASSES

SAID IN PARIS TODAY It Is Said to Be Certain that the Pope Will Reject the New Religious Law Recently Passed in France. Publishers Press. Paris', Dec. 24. From a high ecclesiastical source here it is said to be certain the pope will reject the new religious law, and forbid parish priests to continue service in the churches, after which they will organize private worship. The informant added: "The Vatican can pursue no other policy. Having declined to retain the church property under the conditions laid down by the government it can only logically vindicate its action by proving to the faithful that they are the objects of persecution." . - The Republicans regard the order of the bishops to suppress Christmas masses as being the formal inauguration of the policy outlined above. The Aurore says it is a scheme inaugurated by the Jesuits, and that the cry will be re-echoed by every beadle and verger in France. "Yet there is not a single thinking Catholic who does not know that the suppression of the midnight mass s is the work of the head of the chi h and not of the government," say; , the Aurora. . DOUBLE LIFE OF Mystery Connected with Re cent Case Developing at Chicago, Solved. SHE PASSED AS A MAN IDENTITY ADMITTED BY THE WO MEN WHO WERE WIVES TO DERAYAN LEFT HUSBAND ON ACCOUNT OF TROUBLE. Publishers' Press. Chicago, .c The 3-day won der growing out cf the discovery that Nicolaie DeRaylan, for years a clerk to Baron Schlippenbach, Russian con sul in Chicago, was a woman, a dis covery made after her death in Phoe nix, A. T., was solved by admission of the two women with whom she lived as "husband." The motive for DeRaylan's masquer ade, . which was kept up 15 3ears, is mixed. Part of it dates back to her early affair with a girl in southern Russia, at the first period of her as suming "manhood," and part of the explanation is frequent In connection with revolutionary "bunds" in this country and Russia. Mrs. Eugene Cruchulis, DeRaylan's "first wife," and Mrs. Anne DeRaylan explained the "mystery." There was no great secret back to an "affair with a nobleman In Russia. The wo man DeRaylan was of the common classes of the southern part of Russia. The 11-year-old boy reported as being the real child of DeRaylan really Is the child of Mrs. Anne DeRaylan, but a.so son of Joseph Armstrong, her former husband. The register of the birth is In the City hall.. Armstrong appeared and claimed the fatherhood The reported "kidnaping" of the boy Is a fiction, according to Mrs. De Raylan. The idea of posing as a man grew gradually with the DeRaylan girl. Trouble with her parents over a revolutionary secroA drove her from her home in Elizavetgrad, when 18 years old. She went to the town of Kamenyets, and there, as a man, won the love of a young girl, Jenya Vassilovltch. Throughout all her life In this coun try as a man the romance clung to her. There was a diary, which Mrs Bruchulis reveals, telling all the details of this sad romance. It told of how the DeRaylan girl lost the love of Jenya, referred to as "my angel girl,' through an affair with a girl of the Neva quarter in St. Petersburg. During the years of her double life In New York and Chicago and the City of Mexico letters constantly went back to Russia to the "angel girl." The girl wrote pitiful letters, begging to be brought to this country, saying that she would be rood and true, and at one period DeRaylan tried to induce her friend, Francis Bruchulis, to marry her old "sweetheart." DeRaylan fled Russia to, escape the Importunities of Jenya. In the city of Mexico De Raylan was an aid to Adolf Deverschnitz, for years acting Russian charge d'affaires. After the death of Deverschnitz it was dlscoveit?d- that DeRaylan was a woman. - For a short time in that city DeRaylan lived as a woman, but on leaving for New York assumed the dress and role of a man. In New York, feeling secure of her deception, she married her first "wife, and from there the story proceeds to Chicago. ' ' DeRaylan's connections with - the revolutionary-party is seen in her presence at the meetings at the West Side "bund. and the secret conferences with fI!ow countrymen and the numerous dispatches sent to Russia..

S OF KO AVAIL THE COURT SAY:

Preliminary Fight Put Up by Prosecutor David, Has Come to Naught. CASE IN WRONG COURT SO SAYS COMMON PLEAS JUDGE AND QUESTION OF JURISDICTION UNDER VALENTINE LAW WILL GO HIGHER. Publishers' Press.) Findlay, O., Dec. 24. Ju Jge Duncan, in a decision rendered in the Standard Oil cases, decided that the probate court has no jurisdiction to try criminal prosecutions under the Valentine anti-trust law. The $3,000 fine imposed on the Standard Oil company is therefore invalid, as. well as all the proceedings in the probate court. The case will be carried to the cir-. suit and supreme courts just as quickrRO"sc"T' wrLi.ii i. iavtt. y as it is possible to do so, and a decision is expected from both of these courts within three months. The decision as to the indictments against John D. Rockefeller and other Standard Oil officials has been deferred until some future time, no date being given by Judge Duncan. The decision of Judge Duncan holds that there is no provision whereby service may he had on a corporation; the probate court has no jurisdiction to try either an individual or a corporation under the Valentine law. Section 6472, Revised Statutes, providing that the provision governing criminal proceedings in the court of common pleas shall, so far as applicable, govern the proceedings in the probate court was not intend?d as an addition to jurisdiction, and therefore does not authorize the probate court to borrow from the common pleas criminal code the provisions therein contained providing a way to get a corporation into that court charged with a oximinal olTense, he holds. The court of common pleas, Duncan says, has exclusive original Jurisdiction in all criminal prosecutions under the Valentine anti-trust act. Consequently Judge Duncan threw out the recent verdict, of guilty against the company returned by a jury in probate court. Prosecutor David filed an Information in probate court against the Standard charging It with violating the anti-trust laws of the state. He maintained that he could get action quicker against the company by this proceeding than through indictments in ths common pleas court. The Standard's attorneys contended that the probate court had no jurisdiction in the matter; that if there had been a violation of the law, the prosecutor should have proceeded against the company through lnd'ctments. which was sustained by Judre Duncan. None of the Standard officials was In court when the decision was rendered, but the company was represent ed by Its a'tornvs. ! Judge Ricks Dead. MS3Sli. . ctlUStUS J.
