SACRAMENTO, May 3. The <'«H- fornla Assembly to-day voted unan imously to suspend the constitutional procedure and put the Senate antl- alien land bill for a final vote without the first and second readings. This action was taken when majority lead ers in the lower House received word from Governor Johnson that he de sired this plan carried out. Democrats In the Assembly at first opposed the Governor's plan, Hut later voted with the Republicans and Pro gressives. SACRAMENTO, May 3. The Cali fornia Senate, by a vote of 35 to 2, early to-day passed the Birdsall- Thompson bill prohibiting the owner ship of land for agricultural purposes In California by aliens not eligible for citizenship in the United States. The measure permits a three-year lease hold by aliens. It was adopted after an all-night session. Secretary of State Bryan had re tired when the result was announced. His secretary, Robert P. Rose, said Mr. Brvan would dec ide to-day when he will leave for the E%st. The ac tion of the Senate was considered a partial victory for Secretary Bryan, whose work here resulted in the bill being less effective against the Jap anese than the Webb bill as advocat ed by Governor Johnson.

Fifty-five thousand men were out to-day. Leaders of the miners' union expect a speedy victory, because many of the mine owners have already prom ised to hire no more non-union men.

The judicial temperament, like the Cole B lease lemperament, does not take kindly to the ar- tiflccs and blandishments of mod ern dress. Listen to thin story from New York: Supreme Court Justice Gavegan looked over his spectacles in Part XIV of the Supreme Court and scowl ed at a dainty pair of pearl gray silk stocking®. The hosiery was displayed upon the foet of Mrs. Rachael N. Ducas. a pretty wife of Benjamin P. Ducas, a wealthy manufacturer.

Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian. HENLEY. ENGLAND, May 3.— Deep mystery surrounds the violent death of the Countess of Cottenham, wife of Charles E. P. Kenelme, Earl of Cottenham. whose body was found in a thicket near Goring. She had been shot to death. The case was supposed to be one of murder, al though the authorities said that the countess might have shot herself. The maiden name of the Couiuess of Cottenham was Lady Rose Nevill, daughter of the Marquis of Aberga venny. She was married to the Earl of Cottenham in 1899. They had three children. Absence Leads to Search. The protracted absence of the countess from her home led to a search, and the body, pierced with a bullet, was found in a clump of un derbrush in the thicket. There was some delay in calling the author! teis into the case when the police began their inquiry. A theory was advanced that the countess had either been lured to the lonely spot or else in a fit of despondency had re paired to the copse to end her life. There was no evidence of a struggle at the scene of death, but the ground was hard, and it was argued that it would require extreme exertions to dig up the turf. Family Denies Quarrel. Members of the family denied there had been any Ill-feeling of late be- tweeikthe earl and his wife. The Earl of Cottenham was the countess’ second husband. Her first husband was John Blundell Leigh, a rich land owner. Mr. Blundell se cured a divorce in 1899. Within a few months Mrs. Blundell became the Countess of Cottenham. The divorce suit of Colonel Leigh, who was an officer of the guards, was one of the biggest scandals which has stirred English society in t'ns past twenty years. The Earl of Cot tenham was named as co-respondent. Highly sensational testimony was In troduced at the trial. Coroner Accepts Earl’s Story. At the inquest the earl testified that he found his wife's body. He advanced the opinion that his wire had tripped and fallen and that her firearm had then been accidentally discharged. As there was no witness to the tragedy, the coroner decided to ac cept this theory with reservation that the case might be reopened if fresh evidence were secured. This picture is odd. Running for three days in The Georgian without any comment, it has caused endless discussion as to who it is and what it is. The Georgian has been besieged with telephone calls and letters from its readers asking for an explanation. We do not wonder that you had some doubt as to why it is here. This is the answer: The Georgian has purchased a serial story, more interesting than any Atlanta has had in years. This picture typifies the story. Based on the picture, what in your judgment is the title or ought to be of this story? Five dollars in gold will be paid to each of the five best literary judgments received. The title of the story has al ready been selected, and it is now in a sealed envelope in the hands of T. J. Peeples, cashier of the American National Bank. The answers will be judged upon their originality, their liter ary valine and upon their analyt ical clearness.
