Puts Health Before Learning.
‘•if it were a choice between health
and education. I would select health.
Make the child healthy; then educate,
him." was the terse comment by Hr.
T. R. Abercrombie, inspector for the
State Board of Health, before the
association this morning.
-The child’s health comes before
everything else; conditions that sur
round him and the condition of his
physical being for tlie development “f
his mental qualities are most impor
tant factors,” he continued. "Too often
the child has been developed mentally j
when his ohy.mil part was absolutely
unfit. Tdo great problem lies In mak
ing him fit phy t h ally and then to de
velop his mentality.
“A rigid campaign along thin line
1m what i.-. need, d Teachers have
hern educated to the need of health
among children. It remains for the
State to folio”- up this work.”

HA< RAMKNTO. May 3. Th*- Fall-
form in AxHembiy to-day voted ur:;»r.
Imously to suHpond tin* constitutional
procedure and put the Senate aiiti-
alicn land bill for a final vote without
the first and second readings. This
action was taken when majority lead
ers in the lower Hons*- received word
from Governor Johnson that he d*-
Hrccl till" plan carried out.
Democrat* in the Assembly at fir*t
opposed the Governor’s plan, hut later
voted with the Ropub):* ann and Pro-
gresfives.
8A< ’RAM PINTO, ftluy 3.- Th* Fali-
fornia Senate, by a vote of 35 to 2,
(‘fitly to-day passed the Birdftall-
Thompaon bill prohibiting the owncr-
s!11p of land for agricultural purposes
in California by aliens not eligible for
citizenship in the Fnlted States. Tin
measure permits a three-year lease
hold by aliens. It was adopted after
an all-night session.
Secretary of State Bryan had le-
thed when the result was announced.
His secretary, Robert I*. Rose, said
Mr. Bryan would decide to-day when
he will leave for the Hast. The ac
tion of tin* Senate was considered
a partial victory for Secretary Bryan,
whose work here reniltqd in the bill
being less effective against the Jap
anese than the Webb bill as advocat
ed by Governor Johnson. The bill
permits the spread of Japanese fa lin
ing colonies.
State Senator Cartwright, Demo
crat, announced prior to the Toll .call
that he would vote against the pas
sage of the bill, although he favored
It. He gave as his reason:
“Vote to Tic U. S. Hands."
"You are turning a deaf ear to fin-
best President this countr.\ has ever
had. You will vote to tie the hands
of the Fnlted States In its diplomatic
relations with Japan: the majority
has surrendered to the ‘boss’ of the
State.”
Consideration of the bill whs < -
gun at 11 o’clock yesterday morning
and continued without recess even for
luncheon and dinner. All afternoon,
until the clock in the Senate cham
ber was ordered stopped by the pre
siding officer at 11:43 o’clock at
night the Democrats fought to delay
action by submitting numerous
amendments.
The hardest fight waged around a
resolution introduced by Senator Cur
tin calling upon the Legislature to
delay action for two years and refer
the whole subject to the Federal
Government. Debate on this amend
ment opened early in tin* day and
continued until (5 o'clock, when a rod
call showed it defeated.
Threat of Referendum.
in the closing hours of the debate
on the bill Itself, Senators Sanford,
Camlnetti and Shanahan threatened
to invoke the referendum. They be
lieved the people of the State were
pleading for relief from Japanese ag
riculturists and that the measure does
not correct the evjl.
The Senate gallery and lobby was
packed during the long session.
Many Japanese lined the brass railing
of the gallery, listening Intently to the
debate.
At no time during the scsison did
Secretary Bryan appear in the Sen
ate chamber, although he was in the
office or Lieutenant Governor Wal

until nearly midnight.

The Judicial temperament, like
th#- Cole Blease temperament,

tifices ami blandishments of mod

Listen to this storj from New
York:
Supreme Court Justice Ga vegan
looked over his spectacles in Part
XIV of the Supreme Court and scoVvl-
#-d at a dainty pair of pearl gray silk
stocking*.
The hosiery was displayed upon the
feet of Mrs. Rachael N. Ducas, a
pretty wife of Benjamin P. Duca*. a
wealthy manufacturer. Mrs. Ducas
was sitting at the table of her coun
sel. her feet crossed.
"1 want to say,” the Court began
gravely, "that the young lady In black
there is disrespectful to this Court.
If she wishes me to be more explicit,
1 will say for her benefit that her
lower limbs are insufficiently clad.
She Is making far too free an exhibi
tion of them in a public place."
Mrs. Ducas promptly pulled her
hobble skirt down over the silver
buckles on her slippers and kept
her feet under her chair during the
Standpatters Against Findings of
Taft Tariff Board; Progres
sives Favor Them.
j WASHINGTON, May 3.—Discussion
j *if the wool schedule to-day showed
j the Republicans divided over the
question of what sort of a substitute
should be offered for the Underwood
rates in Schedule K.
Standpatters believed the report of
the tariff board too indefinite to base
an accurate scale of tariff duties upon
it. while the progress-!ve faction ‘n-
•sisted that as the Republicans were
i declaring for a tariff commission they
| should accept without equivocation
I the findings of the Taft tariff board,
j 'Phe Progressives took the stand
j that the Payne rates on wool wore
I too high and they supported the Dem-
i ocratic rates.
Representative Gardner of Massa
chusetts, Republican, who has Veen
leading the fight for tariff revision
based on the findings of the tariff
board, declared he believed that the
Underwood rates on the better grades
of woolen cloth were too low.
Democratic Leader Underwood In
tends to keep the House in suspense
until late to-night, and it is probable
that before adjournment is taken the
House will have completed all tht
schedules except the free list.
