San Francisco, Dec. 5.—President
Roosevelt has stirred up a storm in
California, which Is felt from end to
end along the Pacific. coast by the
statements In his message on the
Japanese question. Among the masses
of the people and particularly among
the labor unions, the most bitter feel
ing has been aroused.
Oregon and Washington as well ns
California have, declared for the ex
clusion of the Japanese and to all these
suites the president's words come as a
direct affront.
Declares it Not True.
The president is excoriated for his
threat to usa .trooi* and hy openly Is
iI^^SnonriilcerTbyflveaulhorftAsu
this city and the atate.'
The Chronicle declares that the pres
.dent has overstepped his authority In
threatening to coerce Pah Francisco.
Jt sins:
“The president says ‘to shut out
Japanese from public schools Is
wicked absurdity.' They are not shut
out from the public schools. That is
;• ii untruth. The president demands
more power *to enforce the rlghts of
aliens under treaties.' The context
shown that his assumption Is that the
Japanese have a treaty right to enter
our schools. Thore Is no basis of fact
for that assumption.
Won't Bo Coerced
"iio recommends that the Japanese
be by special law admitted to naturall
zntlon Its natural, effect must be to
cause a Japanese exclusion act to lie
pressed.
"He says that In the matter of the
exclusion of Japanese pupils 'All of the
forces, mllltury nnd i Ivll, of the United
, States which I may lawfully employ
will be so employed.’ This Is an Implied
threat to use military force to put
Japanese children Into our schools
when he well knows he has no author
ity to do anything of the kind and that
any such attempt could only lead to his
own Impeachment.

“I TRIED TO KILL HIM;
SORRY THAT I FAILED,”
SAYS ALBERT THOMAS
As a result of alleged domestic troubles,
Albert L. Thomas, 26 years of age, of 601

trouble Is said to hare been caused, Is
reported to have left her home some time
Monday, taking with her the only child, a
boy 4 years of age, and neither wife nor
child has been seen since the husband
nnd father.
Immediately after emptying his revolver,
Thomas walked Into the drug store of Dr.
George Y. Pierce, at Marlettn street nnd

Washington, Dec. 6.—A. resolution
by Senator Flint, of California, direct
ing Secretary Metcalf, of the depart
ment of commerce and labor, to furnish
ihe senate with all the official letters,
telegrams and reports In connection
with his investigation of the Japanese
attendance In the public schools of San
Francisco, If not Incompatible with the
public Interest, was unanimously
adopted today by the senate.
Suit Is likely to be begun by an In
dividual and to be an application for an
injunction to prevent the San Fran

than to white pupils. While such a

“THEY SHALL NOT HANG,
I HAVE A CARD TO PLAY”
—ATTORNEY COOPER.
"Milton and Jesse Rawlins won't hang on Frijlay. I believe the peo
ple in Lowndes county want their sentences commuted and 1 believe the
prison commission will do so. I haven't played my last card yet for those
boys."
Attorney John R. Cooper hasn't quit fighting for Milton and Jesse
Rawlins, although he could not save their father from the gallows.
This Is how he spoke Tuesday »n Macon regarding the boys and he
says ho Is determined to save thorn. He Is depending on the prisbn
commission to commute their sentences, but If this is not done, it Is known
that Attornej* Cooper lias other cards to play In his game of life and
death. In fact, he said as much, but Just what legal steps he would
take Jn case the pardon board turned him down he declined to say.
"If the governor of this state nnd the prison commission refuse to
save those boys fqpm the gallows in the face of their father’s dying state
ment and In the face of the public sentiment of Lowndes county. It will be
an outrage," be said. "Their own peopla In Lowndes want them saved
from the scaffold and the wishes of those people should be respected."

CHESTER GILLETTE DOOMED TO DEATH
FOR ENDING LIFE OF HIS SWEETHEART
’r
Upon the decision of the prison com*
mission Thursday hangs the fate
Milton and Jesse Rawlins under sen
tence to die Friday on the same gallow
from which their father plunged to
denth Tuesday.
Will It be life—life with prison
stripes for the balance of their time on
earth—or Ignoble death?
No man knows now save, perhaps,
the three who hold two human lives in
the hollow of their hands. No one en
vies them the hard task before them.
Has the law been satisfied In the death
of J. G. Rawlins and the negro. All
Moore?
Shall the dying statement of the fa
ther or the negro prove more potent In
deciding the fate of the boys? Will tho
commission believe the father’s state
ment that the boys were not present
when the crime was committed, or will
Alf Moore’s reiteration of their guilt
weigh more?
On the desk of the commission at the
capitol lies a huge bundle of petitions,
letters and pleas for commutation for
the boys. More than a thousand names
appear on these petitions nnd letters.
Not more than half a doxen letters ih
that lot protest against commutation
for Milton und Jesse Rawlins.
From Lowndes and Toffee and Ber
rien comes the miss of petitions nnd
letters pleading for mercy for misguid
ed boys. But letters have come from
nil parts of Georgia—from farmers,
doctors, business men, professional nun
—from men and women alike..the pleas
for commutation.
The Georgian’s staff correspondent
tells of the great revulsion of feeling In
Lowndes county since the execution of
the old mnn and the negro.
Evidently the i>eopie, or a large part
of them, believe that the murder of the
Carter children has been fully revenged
and that Justice is satisfied. They
want Milton and Jesse Rawlins sent to
prison for life.
All these things will weigh with tii* j
commission Thursday when it meets to)
pass upon the cases. All the evidence |
and arguments have been made before
the board weeks ago.
All they will have to do now Is to
determine from these facts and within
their own consciences whether the cir
cumstances warrant snatching two boys
from the gallows.
Attorney Cooper’s caustic criticisms
of the board will not weigh with the.n
In the slightest degree.
Will it be life or death for Milton anJ
Jesse Rawlins?

the Chester Gillette ease found the de
fendant guilty of murder In the first de
gree for killing his sweetheart, Grace
Brown, after it had been out for five
hours.
The prisoner took the verdict as
calmly as he has taken every' other
Incident in this unusual trial,
though hla face wus chalk white and
he showed hla nervousness by constant
ly puffing his cheeks, he was much
calmer than the judge on the bench
who received the verdict.
When he had known his fate, Gillette
Immediately took a piece of legal cap
paper, folded it in half, tore off part cf
It, and wrote a telegram to his father
telling him of tho verdict.
Sentence was |.ut down for tomorrow

MOTHER OF GILLETTE
UNNERVED BY VERDICT
Denver, Colo., Dec. 5.—After waiting from 10 o'clock a. m. until after
10 at night, the verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree waa de
livered to tbe mother bf Chester Gillette. She had borne herself for 1«
long hours with remarkable fortitude, but when she was told of the ver
dict she dropped her head in her folded arms and moaned: "My God! My
son, Chester, how can I believe in a merciful God any more?"
She was shaken with sobs for five minutes and then, recovered her
self. Holding her head up and drying her eyes, she said:
"But there is a merciful God; He will save my boy. He must be
saved."
Her husband sat by her. holding her hands, but saying nothing.
After a moment’s pause she managed to gather together her mental
forcefc and dictated the following telegram to be dispatched to her unfor
tunate son:
"My Own Dear Boy—God still reigns. Your innocence will be proved.
We have sent word that .the cat#* is to be appealed. Keep up your cour
age. Trust in God. Our trust Is there. He will not fall u*. We have
faith in your innocence and the truth shall prevail. God willing, I shall
be at the next trial. "YOUR MOTHER."

Columbia, S. C.. Dec. 5.—The Jury of
thirteen from the Methodist conference,
appointed by Bishop Wilson last Wed
nesday to try Editor C. W. Creighton
of The Christian Appeal on a charge of
libelling the presiding elders of the.
conference, In stating that they consti
tuted a ring to control the conference
and that for years they had been im
posing on the preachers by being able
to contrQl the appointments, reported
its verdict to the conferences this morn
ing.
The verdict sustains the charge of
gross immorality and finds that "he t*
hereby deposed from the ministry and
is expelled from the membership of tho-
Methodist Episcopal church, Sdutli."
Three of the thirteen voting member*
of the jury refused to sign the report.
They are Messrs. J. B. Traywicjc. W. B.
Wharton and W. H. Ariall.
Report lg Read.
Soon the report was read and it was
received In alienee, thore being no dis
cussion of It under the church law.
Rev. A. Coke Mann, a defense wit
ness and a strong supporter of Mr.
Creighton, arose to a question of per
sonal privilege. "All I want to say," h«*
began, trembling with emotion, "is that
if that verdict Is true and correct, sim
ilar charges should be brought against
three-fourths of the membership of the
church In this stale, for the same talk
is being Indulged In nvnlnst the ring
Mr. Creighton has attacked throughout
this."
"I rise to a point of order." said the
Rev. Dr. John O. Wilson, nt one time h
presiding elder and for a nunibet *-»f
years editor of tho Southern Christian
Advocate. Jumping to his feet and In
terrupting Mr. Mann. . The point was
at once sustained nml after the Rex.
Dr. J. W. Daniel, attorney for Mi.
Creighton, had given notice of an ap
peal to tlie genoral conference, which
trte.ta thre. year* hence, the confer
ence formally ndjourntl and the annua!
aptxiintmnta were read.
About two-thirds of the members of
the conference had left the city in spite
of Bishop Wilson's request that mem
ber* leave on permission of the con
ference and only a small crowd heard
the verdict.
Mr. Creighton did not appear on the
floor of the conference. Ho aaya ho haa
Just begun hla fight against what ha
terms “the ring” controlling the con
ference and that he proposes to preach
ond lecture throughout the state.
TO PAY $12,000,000
him to tho death chair were spoken
there waa not a sign of a change i:i
the prisoner. Not a quiver showed that
he had heard them. His features were
set and his face was colorless. His
expression was blank and he uttered
no sound.
After a moment Gillette leaned over
to the piece of paper which lay in front
of him and wrote this telegram to his
father:
"Dear Father—Found guilty; w‘ll
write. Ghester.”
That was all.
"Mr. Hatch," said Clerk Burney, "do
you find this man guilty as found »n
the Indictment?**
Asks Time to Fife Motion.
Twelve times lie asked that question
and one by one the twelve men got
upon their feet und said, "I do."
By this time Mr. Mills was on bis
feet to ask that a judgment should not
bo pronounced until Thursday so that
he could have time to -prepare a motion
vorite attitude during the trial. As to set uside the verdict.
the words that were destined to send It wus learned that the Jury had some
difficulty in reaching an agreement and
six ballots were taken before the twelve
men agreed. Up to that time the Jury
ha#l stood 11 for conviction and 1 for
acquittal.
The jury, it was stated, would have
reached its verdict quickly had it not
been for the one Juror who thought
Grace Brown was a suicide. The other
eleven argued against this theory.
Did Not Expect Verdict.
Gillette was apparently In u hurry to
get out. He walked briskly to the dojr
and was led to the Jail, When he got
there any sign of fear tvhtch he had
shown had entirely vanished.
"Thai's a pretty verdict," he said to
his jailer, "and I did not expect it. I
did not have any witnesses, but I did
think the Jury would disagree."
"The reporters want to see me?" he
axed later of Sheriff Richards. "Tell
them I have nothing to say. only I did
not expect that verdict. Well, I guess
I'll turn In now'," he added, and un
dressed and went to bed.
