The Cali fornia Assembly to-day voted unan imously to suspend the constitutional procedure and put the Senate anti alien land bill for a final vote without the first and second readings. Tiiis action was taken when majority lead- i ers in the lower House received word from Governor Johnson that he de sired tlris plan carried out. Democrats in the Assembly at first opposed the Governor’s plan, but 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 Rrvan had re tired when the result was announced. His secretary, Robert P. Rose, said Mr. Bryan would decide to-day when he will leave for the East. The ac tion of the Senate was considered j a partial victory for Secretary Bryan,: vfcaac work here resulted in the bill I being less effective against the Jap- : anese than the Webb bill as advocat ed by Governor Johnson. The bill | permits the spread of Japanese farm- j Ing colonies. State Senator Cartwright. Demo crat, announced prior to the roll call that he would vote against the pas sage of the bill, although he favored It. He gave as his reason: ‘‘Vote to Tie U. S. Hands.” “You are turning a deaf ear to the best President this country has ever had. You will vote to tie the hands of the United States in its diplomatic relations with Japan; the majority has surrendered to the ‘boss’ of the Slate.” Consideration of the bill was be 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 the day and continued until 6 o’clock, when a roll call showed it defeated. Threat of Referendum. In the closing hours of the debate on the bill itself. Senators Sanford. Caminettl 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 evil. 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 tne seslson did Secretary Bryan appear in the Sen ate chamber, although he was In the office of Lieutenant Governor Wal lace, hardly a hundred feet away, until nearly midnight.

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.

There were large numbers of men in line, but the main body of the pa- rade was made up of women. There were women of all sizes and all degrees of beauty, some afoot, some on horseback and some in car riages and automobiles*. , The new suffrage hat, costing 42 | cents, 3 cents more than last year, trimmed only with ribbon and chiffon, feathers and flowers being tabooed, was a feature. It was described by Mrs. E. Livingston Hunt, chairman of the parade hat committee, as a , small round hat, after the eaily sea son’s fashion, with a s-light roil of . the brim on one side.” Notables and enemies of suffrage were in the reviewing stand. Men in the grandstand were allowed lo smoke. Dances were executed In Fifth Ave nue by thfc “Suffrage Zouaves,” part of the division of the parade ltd by Mrs. o. H. P Beimbnt. Police Guard Marchers. Police precautions of an exception al nature were taken by Police Com missioner Waldo to protect tne women and men suffrage marchers* from in terference during their procession. In order to preclude any possibility of censure such as followed the parade last year the police commissioner or dered that any person making re marks offensive to the suffragists be | arrested.

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 founj 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 couhtess might have shot herself. The maiden name of the Countess of Cottenham was Lady Rose Neviil, Laughter of the Marquis of Aberga venny. She was married to tne 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 authoriteis into the case when the police began their inquiry. A theory /Wes 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 a tty ill-feeling of late be tween the earl and his w ife. 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 sc andals which has stirred English society in the past twenty years. The Earl of Cot tenham was named as co-respondent. Highly sensational testimony was in troduced at the trial. Older Than Husband. The countess was much older than her husband, and at the time of her marriage, in 1899. satirical society journals said “she was almost old enough to be her husband's mother.” After* she was divorced and married to the earl, both she and her new hus band were ostracised from society for a few months, but later were rein stated in their old places in exclusive circles. Half a dozen years ago the countess caused comment by making a pet of a baboon and taking it to society functions with her. 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.

President Wilson has a dornick, and so everything will be all right. But if he did not happen to have that dornick, heaven only knows what would have ha ppened to ninety- odd million® of people. Professor Michael Lewis, who dis covered the existence of the Wilson dornick. to-day explained how the destiny of a nation rests upon the ex istence of a dornick, which is a cra nial protuberance, otherwise known as a bump. “A man who lacks a dornick,” sai l the professor, ‘‘lacks the qualities that make for leadership. A dorniekless man will make many mistakes, and perhaps plunge into ruin any enter prise which he directs.” ‘Brazilian Trot’ Is Latest From Paris Joan Sawyer, Who Brings it, Says That it Is the Only Thing in the World. NEW YORK, May 3. Joan Sawyer, the swiftest turkey trotter that ever saw Broadway, has returned from Paris with the Brazilian trot, a dance that is faster and more bewildering than a combination of all the dances so far invented. “It’s the only thing in the world," said Miss Sawyer “You can dance the Brazilian trot instead' of eating • r drinking. In fact, if you are starv ing it’s a perfectly good substitute for food and drink.” NEW YORK, May 3.—Friends oi Mrs. Edith Wharton, the novelist, are busy commenting on the announce- , ment from Paris that she is to di vorce her husband. Edward Wharton, whom she married in 1S85. Their acquaintances at Lenox, where they lived until two years ago. caught the first glimmer yesterday of j the reason for the sudden departure of the Whartons from Lenox and the retreat to foreign lands. Then the many writings of Mrs. j Wharton were recalled, but none so strongly as a story concerning di vorced life, which appeared just be fore she left her residence in this j country. It was called “Other Times. Other Manners.” It is the story of a woman, thirty years ago divorced, remarried and socially exiled. Then she returns toj this country to find that her daughter has been divorced and remarried, bul society has made a heroine of her. It is the tale of the difference of the years. Mrs. Lidcote, the book mother, is. astounded to find that the persons*! who had refused to tolerate her in} years past gladly embraced her | daughter. The moral of the tale seems to be that one should not err ahead of one’s generation. Here is a passage from Mrs. Wharton’s book: You say that it is preposterous j that the women who didn’t object to accepting Lelia’s hospitality should have objected to meeting me under her roof. And so it is; but 1 begin to see why. It is sim- j ply that society is much too busy to revise its own judgments. Probably no one In the house j with me stopped to consider that my case and Lelia’s were identi- j ' cal. They only remembered that I ! had done something which, at the time I did it, was condemned by society. My case has been passed J on and classified: I’m the woman ] who has been cut for twenty years; it’s simply a tradition to ! cut me. And traditions that have ! lost their meaning are the hard est of all to destroy. When Mrs. Wharton's friends re- j called the book they all pointed out strongly that if the reported divorce! was true it merely meant that Mrs. Wharton considered she had waited J for an auspicious era for divorce Gen, Wood Reports On Mexican Status Sentiment Along Rio Grande Against Huerta, and Favors Carranza, He Tells Garrison.

Wife Lays Husband's Misdeeds to Liver ‘It Affects Him That Way,’ Mrs. J. T. Thomas’ Explanation for Cattle Stealng Charge. J. T Thomas would be a model of virtue and good citizenship If it were not for his liver, said Mrs. Thomas to-day. The wife blames that incor rigible organ of her husband’s for his present plight. He is held in the Ful ton County Tower, bound over by the Recorder or\ a charge of stealing cattle. - Mrs. Thomas, visiting her husband’s lawyer to-day, said that J. T. was not responsible for his actions whenever his liver got out of order. “It seems to affect him that way,” she said. The lawyer went to the jail to see his client, and confided to Day Jailer J.

May 3.—The State Supreme Court to-day ruled that col lege fraternities are constitutional. Three Former Employees at Pencil Factory Are Summoned to Testify. Expected That Frank and Watch man Will Be Questioned Further. It was reported to-day that three young women, former em ployees of the National Pencil Factory, will be important witness es for the Coroner's jury in the Phagan ease on Monday. I Dr. Claude Smith, city bacte- | riologist, was asked by the po- jlice to-day to make a chemical j analysis of the bloodstains on the shirt found in the back yard of the home of Lee. The garment was given to Or. Sniilh by Detective Rosser. The de tectives are hopeful that by scientific tests and comparisons it will be de termined whether the garment was a ■plant' or not. Dr. Smith said that he could not make his examination until some time next week. Solicitor Dorsey and Chief of De tectives Larford were closeted for two hours to-day in a discussion of the case. At the conclusion neither would make a public announcement. $1,000 Fund ts Rumored. It was said that an effort would he made to nave the county appro priate Jt.Ono for a private investiga tion. The inquest will be resumed at 2 o’clock. Leo M. Frank h'ae. r,t,t yet given any testimony before the Coro ner’s jury, and it is planned for him to he heard on Monday. It is also likely that Lee, the night watchman, will be examined still further. * The police and detectives are still busily at work on the case, but so far as is known they have secured noth ing of importance. Await Coroner's Verdict. When the Coroner’s jury verdict la rendered the case automatically goes to the Grand Jury. Solicitor Dorsey and the Grand Jury will not take up the case officially until the Coroner’s jury has concluded its Investigation. Many wild reports, absolutely with out basis in fact, are in circulation. It is emphatically declared by the po lice that no confessions have been made by anybody in the case. This should put an end to the report that Lee has confessed and Implicated Frank. It is not likely that the body of the unfortunate girl will be exhumed. County Physician Hurt says that no further examination is necessary, as the evidence on this point is. very clear and exact. Visitors Are Barred. Visitors are not allowed to see either Frank or Lee, although counsel has full access to tile Tower to con fer freely with the men. A score of employees of the factory are under subpena to testify before the Coroner’s jury, but their testi mony is not considered likely to be- of great importance. The release of Arthur Mullinax and J M. Gantt indicates that the detec tives have abondoned the theory that the girl left the pencil factory after receiving her pay on Saturday. -The detectives now are of the opinion that she was not seen on the streets again after she entered the factory. May Be Held for Jury. Without seeming to forecast what the Coroner’s jury will do, it is more than likely that both Frank and Lee will be held for the Grand Jury, where the testimony or evidence will be weighed carefully under the supervi sion of Solicitor General^ Hugh Dor sey. The only statement that the law yers for Frank make is that he is stilt vehement In the declaration that he knows nothing whatever about the crime. Mr. Rosser says that not a word of evidence had been produced against his client.
