Stuff Special to The KipreM.
WASHINGTON, D. C., April 21.—The
spirit of 'U6 Inspired uiiiny Texans lu
Washington to celebrate tonight. Under
the auspices of the Texas fcociuty of Wash-
ington, there was some oratory, u musical
program of vocal aud instrumental num-
bers, danclug aud a luncheon, with 200
Texaus or former Texans aud their guests
present. The Confederate Memorial Hall
was used for this commemoration of the
Battle of San Jacinto.
BURLESON IS HONORED.
Early in the day lu tie private offices
of Postmaster General Albert Sidney Bur-
leson, the sevency-neventh anniversary of
the memorable fight on the banks or tbo
Sau Jacinto and the general National as-
cendancy of the Lone star State was uibei•
wise recognized, when members of the
'sciub congressional delegation presented
the grandson of Gen. Echvard Burleson
with a handsomely mounted aud eugraved
•fiver loving rup. Senator Hbeppard Bill
the presentation speech. Seuaior Culber-
sbn was there, as were several Texas Con-
gressmen.
The inscription ou the loving cup reads:
•'From the Texas delegation in the Sixty-
third Congress to Hon. Albert Sidney Bur-
leson, postmaster General *»f the United
States, as a token of our esteem and in
recognition of his fourteen years of spies*
did service as a Representative in Congress
Horn Texas; April 21, lDlo."
Seventy-seven years ago today the illui-
trious grandfather of the Texas Cabinet
member led the volunteer forces in Ueu.
Sam Houston's army, and helped win a
victory which made possible the eventual
annexation «>f a great commonwealth to
the United States.
RAYBURN MAKES ORATION.
Representative Kayburn and Representa-
tive J. P. Buchanan, both new members of
th<» House, arrived a little later, however,
and Mr. Rayburn, in a stirring speech,
paid tribute to the hero of San Jacinto,
spoke of the triumph of the State, of its
important place in the Nation today, and
soon developed into the orator of the oc-
casion.
Hneaalng of Washington a« "a city of
disillusionment," he expressed the opin-
ion that, within the borders of Texas a
United States Senate and a National House
of Representatives, us worthy as the pres-
ent Congres*. could be selected today ll«
said, also, that, iu his opinion, the Texas
Legislature Is wholly as businesslike as
is the Federal Congress. In his tributes
to illustrious Texans he mentioned Mrs.
Percy V. Pennybacker, the historian of
Austin, who, as president of the National
Federation of Women's Clubs, is in Wash
ington tonight to preside over a con-
vention of that organization.

REPRESENTATIVE! CORIIELL Hf'LL of Teoneasee, who I. the author of Ihe in-
come fix section of the Underwood tariff bill. Is a pretty busy man Jusl now
explaining the Intricacies of till Income tat provisions. To many even In official
life the proposed tax lias Its puzzling features. Representatives first of all sought
out. their Southern colleague and asked him how the tax would affect that part of
their salaries above »4,000. Representatives set $7,500 a year. Representative Hull
figured it out for them, and then be explained that much of the confusion would be
avoided If one were to bear l.i mind that the normal Income tax of one per cent was
to be paid by all classes subject to the tax, Individuals as well as corporations, but
that only the Incomes of Individuals were to be subjected to the various surtaxes.

ALLEN'S
FOOT=EASE
LEADERS IN CALIFORNIA DETER-
MINED TO WRITE DISC RIMI-
NATION INTO LAW.
(Continued From Page One.)
Statpu Government would take the Initia-
tive in the judicial proceedings intended
to test the legality of the State's action.
GOVERNMENT MAY INTERVENE).
In the ordinary course the initial step
' would be taken by Japanese individuals
| of corporations lu California whose lauds
are sought to be escheated. But it Is fully
: expected that the Department of Justice
I would come forward as an intervener,
l throwing the weight of the United Btaton
(joverninent into the scale in defense, of
the treaty rights of the Japanese. If the
I state courts should uphold such a stat&e,
| the case would be appealed to the I nited
I States Circuit Court ami almost certainly*
| by one party or the other, taken to the
i I nited States Supreme Court, which
| tribunal has never yet passed upon the
Japanese claim of the right of naturaliza-
tion in the I nited States.
An important development In the situa-
tion Is the announced purpose of the op-
ponents of anti-Japanese legislation to
challenge the correctness of the figures
and the statements relative to the extent
of the so-called Japanese invsalon of Cali-
fornia, telegraphed to Washington from
Sacramento by the legislative leaders in
answer to Representative Baker's request.
For sometime past, quiet search has been
msde of the records of the 1'nlted States
Immigration Bureau and of the California
tax Offices aud other places where data
might be found bearing upon the precise
number of Japanese land'*?* lu Cali-
fornia and the extent o» : holdings
and these figures soon will be laid be-
fore the Slate Department
why an act admittedly within the juris-
diction of the California Legislature,
like tho passage of an alien laud bill,
creates tumult, confusion and criticism,
and whilo this local act of undoubted
right becomes an international question.
Of course, the California Legislature
would not attempt to contravene any
treaty of the Nation, nor to do more
than has been done by the Federal gov-
ernment Itself and many other States.
To say that. California must do less, or
be subjected to harsh criticism and tho
charge of disrupting friendly relations
with foreign powers, Is to deny to Cali-
fornia what has been freely accorded to
every State in the Union and what has
never been questioned with any other
State,
"Our legislature is now considering
an alien land bill in general language
ami not discriminatory. If terms are
used which are claimed to be discrimina-
tory, those very terms long since were
mede so by many enactments and by
tho laws of the Nation itself. Broadly
speaking, many of the States have en-
deavors! to prevent the ownership of
land by those ineligible to citizenship.
The power to pass such laws Is conceded,
but immediately upon the exercise of
this power by a great sovereign State, a
remarkable and inexplicable outcry Is
heard all over the land, and in other
lands as well.
CHICAGO, April 21.-More evidence of
"baby Juggling" In lying-in hospitals
was dragged from reluctant witnesses to-
day by the Legislative committee Inves-
tigating maternity hospitals.
After a day of difficult questioning the
representatives announced they would
next week investigate the Juvenile court
from "top to bottom," as the surrender
of babies is governed by Juvenile court
statutes.
Secretary Morris, of the Chicago Or-
phan Asylum, said the contract signed
by mothers entrusting children to the
institution, contains this clause:
"If 1 fail to pay board for six consecu-
tive months, that shall be a lull sur-
render to the asylum."
"The rule is never enforced," Monis
explained.
Dr. L. li. Rogers, superintendent of the
national "institutions," which include an
emergency hospital, a maternity home,
a school and a night university at one
address, wan interrogated for five hours,"
but gave the committee little informa-
tion. 'ihe doctor was satisfied with his
methods, lie compared himself to Dr.
Friedman and Dr. Alex Carrell.
Tho witnesses remembered giving a
24-hour old infant to a couple to take
to Los Angeles, but could tell nothing
about them, lie could not recall the
disposition of an infant born at his hos-
pital last Saturday.
Dr. Jtogers could not say what had be-
come of any other of the more than ouu
infants he has "farmed out."
Dr. VV. 8. Wrlney, superintendent of
the Ann Ross Sanitarium, said he gave
physicians a thirty-three per cent com-
mission on business thoy turned over to
him. lie denied that eighty-five per cent
of the unmarried women in maternity
homes afterward lead immoral lives, ac-
cording to a statement of the head of a
charitable institution. He insisted it
was better for the women that their
babies be taken from them.

FIRE IN BKXAR HOTEL
Small Blaze in Downtown District
Calls Out Most of Apparatus.
Fire at 1 o'clock tills morning in the
kitchen of the Bexar Hotel, ;»27 East
Houston Street, did slight damage, but
caused a largo part of the San Antonio
Fire Department to take a wild midnight
ride, thief Wright, first on the scene,
extinguished the small blaze with Ihe
chemical extinguisher. Four engines, five
wagon and two hook and ladder truck# re-
sponded to the call. When the fire alarm
sounded "ftl." In Hi* downtowu section
of Houston Street the Fire Department to
a man had its nerves strung taut. It was
but a few minutes after the alarm had
been received that all of the equipment
was on the ground ready for service.
Apparently the fire disturbed the guests
of the hotel very little. Only one man
appeared at a window and the Jokes of
the crowd that had gathered soon drove
him back.
After the fire was out Chief Wright
had his men wine the floors dry and clean
all loose rubbish from the room. The
fire had its origin between a stove and
a large wooden coal box. The box was
almost consumed by the fire. The stove
whs apparently not damaged.
The property Is owned by Mrs. Caroline
Kumpmanu and la leased by Alfred
Sanuer.
