2 ? LEAVITT SAYS BUY EARL & IS RAILROAD TRICKSTER Explains Attempt to Repeal the Crossing Bill Was an Imposition each company paying one half of the expense of. such separation; and pro vided further that the foregoing provision shall not be construed as requiring a separation of grades when such separation is physically impracticable, and in case of any djspute or controversy as to the physical practicability of any under grade or overhead crossing, the same shall be determined by the Superior Court of the county in which such county is situated in an action or pro ceeding brought by either party for that purpose.' EATIL. PLAYED TRICK ' . . Leavitt declined to discuss the mo tives behind the bill or to speculate about the connections of Earl, who asked him to introduce the measure. He did say that it could not pass as in troduced and emphatically denied any intention to assist in any way to se cure the repeal of the crossing law. Senator Leavitt said: The bill was handed to me by Guy C. Earl, a San Kr^ncisoo attorney aud a former Senator. I know nothing about Uls eanMrttnna boyoud the report that he, Is interested. • oltiicr direotly or indirectly. In some power company. Earl in formed me that tbe only new matter in the bill was the new section numbered three, authorizing the coudemnation of lan<3? owned or held !a trust by tbe Lnited States, and wctioa 0. providing precrflure for such condemnation. I see no good reason wty highways Kiiouid not run over Federal lands, and sssumlug that the sections indicated to me were the only changes ia the existing law 1 introduced the bill. I now find, upon looking the matter up care fully, that tbe over aud under grade crossing provisions of the law, which we liart so much trouble in securing, are left out of this bill. It is certainly not ray latention to interfere with tbe crossing law in any shape, manner or form. I shall esk the chairman Of the committee on ju diciary to have the bill amended by inserting the law a? it now stands on the statute books. I intend to Interfere in no way with legisla tion concerning railroad crossings, but r do be lieve that condemnation of ways across United States lands for water rights and wagon roads should be permitted by our laws, and to that extent 1 will support this bill. KARL SUDDENLY TAKEN ILL OAKLAND, Feb. 22. —'"If there is any such omission in the bill, it is uninten tional." This, and this alone, was all that Guy C. Earl would say tonight in regard to the omission of the sections #of the present act relative to grade crossings in the bill as it has been introduced in the Legislature. Earl at first asked to bo excused from plying any interview on the mat ter. He sent word to the door that he was confined to his. room, that his ill ness was as serious as it was sudden, and that it prevented him from conver sation on the subject of any hiatus in his bill. • Finally, in answer to a raes-- Fape conveyed to him, he made the foregoing brief response." -\u25a0» » — NAVY LEAGUE DEMANDS RESPECT FOR UNIFORMS Convention Asks States to* Pass Laws Against Discrimination WASHINGTON.

The Mayor will leave for San Francisco tomorrow. The others In the party are as yet un decided whether or not to spend one day in Boston to inspect the schools there. Oliver and Altmann said tonight that the entire party would probably leave for Chicago tomorrow; The return trip to San . Francisco will be made via St. I^ouis and New Orleans. ' The party spent the entire day in specting the school buildings here. The lack of playgrounds for the school children of New York struck them as a singularly bad feature of the schools here.* The pupils must play in the streets, if at all. Well equipped gym nasiums, however, are provided and help to compensate for the lack of out door recreation grounds. The San Franciscans were well Impressed with the school system here as a whole. \u25a0 » ' i " Novel Oriental dishes that will surprise yourstlf and friends.

The Call's gold prize contest interested her from -the start, and when she saw how easily other women won big purses in the first period of the contest, she decided that she would go in to win _in the second period. She is the sort of woman who never does things, by halves. Whatever she does she does well and with all her soul and strength. A CAPITAL IDEA She figured that if she could earn $500 — ;the prize she is aiming at —^by six or seven weeks' work, she could afford to hire- a girl . to do her housework while she devoted all her time to the ' contest. That is what she is doing, and never before was Sacramento so thoroughly canvassed", for any news paper as Mrs. Doherty is canvassing it now for The Call in order to get the votes which will enable her to win ! the grand capital prize for this period of the contest. She tells the Sacra mentans that It is as. much her business to \u25a0win the capital prize in' The Call's big contest, as it is the business of the citizens "of Sacramento to win" their fight against the removal of the capi tal of the State to Berkeley or- some other place. She has made friends with the. State officials "and members of the Legislature, many of whom are helping her in her campaign to. win the capital prize, while she is doing some* ef fective lobbying among the lawmakers to induce them to let the State capital remain where it is. She is a charming and convincing conversationalist/ and is no doubt doing effective service for her' home city. : * • So interested hav^ many of her fel low townsmen become in Mrs. Doher ty's .effort to win the grand capital prize :that her success will: be regarded as a *gi)'Sa omen for the success of the city In retaining the seat of govern ment for all time to come, in sptte of the ambitious projects of the Berkeley residents and others.

Macarthur would not give the names of those who had thus disobeyed the President's command, but by reference tp the Japanese Exclusion League later he left it to be presumed that the leaders of that organization were the recipients of the Unvltations. For some time the wrath of the Jap anese Exclusion League over the man ner in • which' Schmitz misrepresented conditions in California has been ap parent. .Macarthur said: j "We have been - working for years to get the Asiatics excluded from this country and now It seems 'that -'all our work is being undone. By a recent act Congress placed in the hands of the President power to administer the immigration laws as he saw fit, when it must have. been apparent that sooner, or later that power, would have to be* taken away from him. There are indi cations that the administration would even favor a repeal of the Chinese ex clusion law. "I have no patience with representa tives who will consent to go into secret conference" with the President on a matter which so vitally, affects the peo ple as., this Japanese matter does. Whatever is done should be' above board. They say: 'Oh, it's all right, boys; we know, but we can't tell, be cause we have promised the President not to.' \u25a0 • • \u25a0 \u25a0 SCHMITZ IS A FOOL "I maintain that the people have a right to a voice in these j matters. As to Schmitz.and the other fellows, the d -d fools didn't have sense enough to stay at home when they* could have sent .word to Roosevelt that he would have -to deal, with the ; Legislature of California in the matter. The law giv ing boards of education power to seg regate ; Mongolians., was enacted for a. purpose— it was not placed on the stat ute • books \u25a0to help fill them up. Of course, this j school . question is a .minor matter Compared with the" immigration problem, but ' t;he .principle ' is the same. I don't; know.what motive.
