To enable business agents to clear

Members of the committee believe

"JOAQUIN" MILLER IS DEAD.

' Home In California.
Oakland, Cel. Joaquin Miller (Cln
cinnatus Heine), "the podt of the Si
erras," died In his one-room cabin,
which he built m the Piedmont hills
many years ago. The end came with
warm sunshine flooding the room
where lay the author of . "Songs of
the Bunland.'
Death came slowly upon the vener
able poet He became unconscious af
ter , a lingering illness, which began
when he was struck by paralysis two
years ago. His wife and daughter,
j'uanlta, were summoned at that time
from the east, : and have been with
him since. The weakness of age had
come upon, him, and he rarely ven
tured from the Heights, as he called
his mountain retreat.
For many years the Heights , has
been the Mecca for lovers of Joaquin
Miller's poetry. He always received
bis visitors 'graciously and loved to

old,, adventurous days, which he me

, Washington. The Burnett-Dilling
ham immigration bill vetoed by Taft
because it imposed the literacy test
upon immigrants, was passed over
the president's veto in the senate by
a majority of 72 to 18. The over
whelming majority given at the end
of a short debate, In which President
Taft's attitude was vigorously attack
ed, has strengthened the probability
that the bill will be passed over the
veto in the house. -h ',
: Support of the president's position
was voiced by only a few senators
during the debate. Senators Lodge

override the president, declared the
measure contained so many Important

great harm would result to the Unit
