Lieutenant Governor Porter to Be Given Place on State Prison Board Battle Against Grafters to Be Waged Today in State and Federal Courts REVENGE SWEET AFTER YEARS OF WEARY WAITING Belshaw Is Sacrificed to Settle an Old Grudge Against Pardee • DEAL IS COMPLETED Contra Costa Senator Must Pay for Political Sins of ex-Governor ACCEPTS PROGRAMME Upper House Will Confirm Appointment When It Is Announced George A. Van Smith CALL HEADQUARTERS, 1007 EIGHTH STREET. SACRAMENTO. March 10— The pride of Senator Charles M. Belshaw is to be humbled to furnish Lieutenant Governor Warren R. Por ter the political revenge or vindication that is dearer to him even than the po litical ambitions he hugs tenderly to his breast. Porter will Berdmed by Governor Giiiett tomorrow or Tuesday to the place on the State Prison Board to which Pardce nominated Senator Bel »li»w as one if his eleventh-hour ap pointments. The Belshaw nomination. with the rest of the Pardee batch, was withdrawn by Giiiett a few days after hfs inauguration. Some of Par fi^'s selections have been ratified by <;il!eit, but t..e names of Senators Bel f haw and Matto*. named for U.e Prison Board and State Harbor Commission, respectively, will not be again pre sented to the Senate for confirmation. DTItECT SLAP AT PARDEE Porter considers his appointment to the Prison Board both as & vindication and a direct slap at his most despised political enemy. Oeorge C Pardee. The Lieutenant Governor declines to discuss the probability of his nomination, but that it will be made ifi an open secret. Porter is a good hater. When Pardee dropped Porter from the Prison Board four years ago he stirred /.i enmity In the Watson vilie mans breast that will not down. From that day to the last day Porter consented to talk about th« Prison Board, and that was very recently. he has consistently and vehemently insisted that Pardee broke faith with him. Whenever he has had an opportunity to orate on the base nrss of the ex-Governor he has been there with perfervld language most of which has never been received in newspaper society. Porter says that th* things he has paid about Pardee are mild in comparison with what he raid to him When hi* cherished seat at the Prison Board table was pulled from under him by the Governor, who did not employ, much of his character istic procrastination in flagging Por ter for ex-United Ptates Senator C. W. Felton of Mrnlo Park. Porter prompt ly ttarted out on an indefinite cruise for vindication. An appointment to the Prison Board v.as his port. ' Now he must take Belshaw's scalp to land, and while in justice to Porter he really dislikes to he the Instrument of Bel ehaw's humiliation, the deal Is to go through. BEI>HA\V IS JS.4CRIFICED In all probability If it were, not a dee! involving a political promise, made before th« campaign, the Porter" appointment would not be made. Gll lett likes Belshaw. So does Porter. It is true that Belshaw .was a Parde*i man. but It is also true- that neither Porter nor Giiiett had any Idea that it would be Belshaw's comb that would be cut until Pardee surprised them' by naming the Contra Costa Senator to the place of J. H. Wilkins. the San Ra fael Democrat, whose term had expired a full year befot*. It If not pleasant medicine for Bel ehaw and a tentative plan was on foot among his friends In the Senate to op pose the confirmation of Porter when his name came to the Senate. It has, however, apparently" been abandoned, as the Senators who were expected to figure In the opposition admitted to day that they had 'changed their minds.

LEAGUERS VOTE TO GO OK WITH EXCLUSION FIGHT Walter Macarthur Scores Schmitz for Having Surrendered STRIFE IN McCarthy Faction Supports the Mayor and Wins the \ v ictory RESOLUTIONS PASSED One. Declares for Further Agitation and Another Thanks Executive After a bitter fight between two factions . yesterday afternoon the Japanese and Korean Exclusion League adopted two resolutions, one to continue the agitation for the en actment of a Japanese exclusion law, and the other thanking Mayor Schmitz and the. Board of Education for their work in Washington in con nection with school segregation. The first, which was introduced by Walter Macarthur of the Coast Sea men's Journal, was not opposed.' The second, which" was'first presented as a*n amendment to* Macarthur'* resolution, was offered by P. H. , McCarthy." . Macarthur at once took, the floor in opposition to tacking:"' thanks to any one on to the end of his resolution. He requested that the propositions be considered separately, as he.'for one, could not conscientiously vote for Mc- Carthy's offering and was of the opin ion that confusion misrht arise. in the minds of . the people by compounding the two. . ORDERS SEPARATE VOTE Throughout the heated debate which followed Chairman {Tveltmoe Indicated that his sympathies were with Mc- Carthy, but he ruled* that the two reso lutions be considered and voted upon separately. '"\u25a0 — A motion was then made to refer the McCarthy resolution to .the executive committee for an investigation as to whether or not a vote of thanks was due Schmitz and the board. Division was called for on the motion. - This resulted in 29 votes for and 29 agaijist the motion to refer, which was de clared lost by the chairman. ' During the long debate on the Mc- Carthy, resolution a number, of dele gates became weary and left the' ball. When division was called for on. tha question of thanking the officials the vote «tood 49 to 9. Macarthur and. the delegates for the teanißters' and sailors' unions voting "no." Several. of the speakers declared that politics had been introduced at a. meet ing of th« league. Delegate Gallagher went so far as to hint that those who had been responsible for the "stirring up of factionalism were moved by ul-' terior motives. The war of words grew fiercer as it; progressed until, Just .be fore adjournment. Chairman JTveltmoe almost lost .control of the excited body. TVEITMOB" E.TPLAIJfS Tveitmoe explained h!s attitude; toward the" end of the controversy, by relating an interview he had: had with the Mayor on the latter's 'return from Washington. He said that Schmitz had told him President Roosevelt had given his personal- assurance that he would attempt to have a Japanese exclusion law pass»d at the next session of Con gress and that he would do everything he" could to carry out . the wishes of California. Schmitz had also said, according, to Tveltmoe, that when^the telegram from Tveitmoe to Schraitz. asking^if * the President -wanted to humiliate " the American flag, was handed to President Roosevelt during - the conference on February 10. the President exhibited the greatest rage, demanding," of Schmitz: "Who is this man who dares insult the President of the United States?" \u25a0' ' He pounded the ; mahogany 'with his gavel "and. ; as Tveitmoe J quoted Schmlta, '.'nearly hit .the celling". in, his L anger.
