The wool schedule was passed without amendment by the bouse today In its consideration of, the Underwood tariff It went through with little excitement, its pass- age -causing a ripple on the smooth waters of the democratic tariff republicans concentrated their attacks on the by presenting a blanket amendment as a substitute for It. This substitute, prepared by Representative Payne, provided a rate of IS cents a pound on raw wool-placed on the free list in the' Underwood bill and comparative rates based on a duty of 18 cents a pound, on the wool content of the various stages of manufactured woolens.

The republicans vociferously proclaimed their substitute to be In conformity with the report which the tariff board made on the. woolen industry two years ago. The democrats as emphatically declared' that it was not. An expected defection from party lines by democratic members representing wool growing states failed to materialize in the vote on raw wool. The republican substitute was defeated and the Underwood schedule passed, 74 to 133.

Representative Payne vigorously explained his substitute and defended the republican tariff policy. President's Action Defended, Representative Gardner, of Texas, explained that those who advocated a duty on wool first succeeded in committee, but free followed suggestions by the head of the party, the president. "That." he added, "is nothing dishonorable. There Is not a gentleman on the republican side who has not 'listened to suggestions from a republican president." Representative Harrison, of New Vork, defended the schedule as. prepared by Ibe committee.

Attack Bitterl The republican attack on the Underwood wool schedule was bitter. After three hours ot general debate Republican Leader Mann and Democratic "Leader Underwood summed up the "Several years ago," Mr. Mann said, "we republicans provided, for -a tariff board. We propose to stand by the re port of that board and present a wool schedule ascertained by It. Fpr years the woolen schedule has been a point of controversy and for the first time in the history of our tariff making we propose a scientific woolen schedule, and we will appeal to the country to support a tariff based, on real information." Mr.

Mann pleaded for the support of the progressive" "temporarily estranged from' the republican party, but soon to return to our ranks."

The countess, twin sis- ter, daughter of the Marquis of Aber gavenny," was found dead In .1910 with a shotgun wound through the heart in the grounds of the family residence at Ovfordshlre. Today's affair. was a mystery until. the Earl of Cottenham testified at the coroner's Inquest at noon.

He said he had been out with his boys, and when he re turned and found his wife i missing he instituted a search, which resulted In the discovery of her corpse with the gun beside It near the stump "of a tree over which she had evidently, stumbled, at the same time accidentally discharging The jury thereupon returned a verdict of accidental death. The countess was an enthusiastic hunts- woman and a fine shot She frequently roamed alone with her gun through -the preserves of her estate at Elvenden Priory. The twin sister of the countess "was Lady, Violet Nevill, who became Count ess- and whose divorce suit against" Earl Cowley in' 1897 created a widespread sensation.

The alien land ownership bill previously passed by the senate was passed by the assembly late tonight and awaits only the eiim-ture of the governor to become a law.

Three votes were cast against the measure In the lower feoue, one democrat and two republican members opposing the bill on th f'naJ passage. The roU call was completed at U-25 o'clock, less than twenty-four hours after the final passage of the act In the senate early this morning. Sacramento, CaL, May J.

Bryan's statement was made be for an open joint meeting of the innate and assembly immediately before his de parture for Washington. The asnnUy, which was even then In the midst of it debate on the land MIL passed late last nigrht by the senate, paused for half aa hour to hear him, and then took up its work of following the senate's lead.

On the one side tb democrats offered substitute resolutions and amendments, all seeking to dtlay action, and on the other side the progressive, majority stood firm in voting down, every suggestion Referendum Threatened. That the bill would pass tonight was predicted by' both sides.

It will thea be in the bands of Gov. Johnson awaiting the signature that shall make it a law. Apparently the only contingency that can arise to prevent the. carrying out of the bill's provisions wittiin approximately ninety days Is the threatened referendum petition which would require signatures before the law could le temporarily nullified, pending an e2fcctkru The matter could not be submiUtd to tb people until the fall of 1S14 a delay cf nineteen -months In oase the proposed referendum petition: gains enough turners.

S. AX HAY MOZUMDAR GRANTED PAPERS AT SPOKANE. NATIVE OF CALCUTTA, INDIA Judge Rudkin Ends Two Years of Litigation When He Holds that Applicant Is a "Free White Person" and Entitled to Citizenship. May 3. Akhay Kumar Mozumdar, a Hindu of high caste, became today a citizen of the United States.

II is the first of his race to whom citizenship is granted. Two years of litigation to that end was brought to a close in the United States district court when Judge Frank H. Budkin held that Mozumdar was a "free white person' and entitled to American citizenship. Mozumdar is a native of Calcutta, India, and a Yogi philosopher. His application for citizenship previously had been denied, by Judge Rudkin.

The case was reopened when the court appointed outside counsel to investigate. Previous legal rulings were looked Into with little avail. Few Instances of Hindus applying for citizenship have ever come up before the naturalization department. Mozumdar's eligibility to citizenship hinged on the question of whether he Is a "free white person as used in the original naturalization act. udge Rudkin's Opinion.

Judge In his opinion, said: "In the original naturalization act the expression "free white person" was doubtless primarily Intended to Include the white emigrants from northern Europe, with whom the congress of that day was familiar, and to exclude Indians and persons of African descent or nativity. "Beyond this perhaps congress had no definite object in view. It could not have foreseen the vast immigration problems with which, the government is now confronted, nor- the difficulties which might hamper and embarrass the courts in the administration of the law. 'But whatever the original intent may have been, it Is now settled by the great weight of "authority, 'at-least that It was the intention of congress ta confer the privilege of naturalization upon members of the Caucasian race only. "It Is likewise true that certain of the natives of India belong to that race, although the lino of demarcation between different castes and classes may be dim and difficult of ascertainment.

More Definite Law Needed. "I fully appreciate the fact that, the lineage of the applicant in these matters must rest largely, if not entirely, upon his own 'testimony and thus the courts may be Imposed upon, but they must-administer that law as best they can until congress sees Ct to prescribe a more definite rule for their guidance. "The testimony in this case satisfies me that the applicant, has 'brought himself within the provisions of the naturalization acts and he will be admitted to citizenship accordingly, upon taking the oath prescribed by law." r. ''X In his statement to the court Mozumdar I come from the northern part of India, or Hindustan proper.
