SCHMITZ`S CAPITULATION
CAUSES DISSATISFACTION
Japanese School Question
and . Exclusion Deemed
Far From Settled
BURKE GIVES VIEWS
Says Asiatic Pupils Gain
Position They Held.
Before Order
The capitulation of Mayor. Sehmlta In
connection -with the Japanese school
pegregation question In return for the
President's promises concerning exclu
sion measures of a more or less definite
bafure, has already had one very de
cided result. It has raleed a etorm of
dissatisfaction that Is not -confined to
those having an Interest in one particu
lar phase of the matter, but that ex
tends t© every class connected with
cither side of the controversy relative
either u> school measures or general
exclusion measures. Officers of the
Japanese and Korean League ate not
willing to accept any measures nhort
of absolute exclusion j affiliated organ
isations decry any settlement that
leaves powers of discrimination In the
bands of the President; those Inter
ested In the question from the school
Standpoint are unwilling to accept an
»ge limit for school attendance which
Will leave a. legal loophole for th«. ad
mission of older Japanese; and the Jap
anese are dissatisfied because th*
School Board Is given tho right to pet
certain educational standards of admis
sion to schools.
DIBKE SEES LOOPHOLE
According to City Attorney Burkes
view of the situation, as pointed out by
him yesterday, the agreement would :
have the effect of returning Japanese
pupils In the schools in exactly the
came -status they occupied before the
segregation order of the School Board
v-as»4)ut Into effect. Burke said yes
terday:
The ' result of the agreement leaves condi
tions exactly &a they were before the segrega
tion rule wu Adopted. It seems oa ita face
that the promised 16-year age limit will keep
older Japanese out of the lower grades with
the young American children, but In actual
piactlce it will do no each thing. As a mat
ter of fact. It will result m no change at all
£rom the old conditions, for it puts the burden
of proof as to age on the shoulders of the
School Board.
If a Japanese boy applies under such an
agreemeat for admission to one of the schools
be must be admitted If be says that he is
ender the age of 16. The only way in which
fc« can be refused admission is for the School
Boerd to bent up evidence and prove that he
la over that age. and that sort of evidence
\rould be impossible to get la almost every case,
even if the board had time and funds to spend
la searching for it.
CALLS IT BAD BARG.UX
President O. A. Tveitmoe of the
Japanese and Korean Exclusion League,
\u25a0while declaring his unwillingness to in
dorse or repudiate the Mayor's action
until an official statement had been re
ceived, had no hesitancy yesterday in
expressing an unwillingness to accept
the proposed exclusion measures on the
ground that no definite improvement of
the conditions to which the league so
seriously objected had been promised.
Tveitmoe said last evening:
When the members of Congress, like a lot
of boys, have fallen down before the biz stick
And voted away the rights granted Congress
trader the constitution, we can hardly wonder
that The Mayor of the stricken city of San
Francis* 1 * should yield a' few points under the
came presccre.
Of one jr&!n/r I am absolutely certain, the
proposed so -called exclusion measures agreed on
by the Washington and Toklo diplomats will
not be approved by the leagne nor by the over

Jerome here read extensively from
Mrs. Thaw's direct testimony, especially
•rvith reTerence to the visits she made
with Stanford "White to a photographer.
"You fixed the d*te of your ruin
by reference to this visit to the pho
tographer, did you not?"
Delmas objected. He said the ques
tion related to an event and had noth- t
Ins to do -with the etory Mrs. Thaw
told her husband. He said the cross
examination must be confined to the
story as she had told it to Thaw—

Ira E. Bennett
WASHINGTON, Feb. 19. — Ofllclal* of
the Immlgrratlon Bureau bellev* that
the first movement to be made toward
the enforcement of the new Japanese
exclusion act will be an lnve«tlgatlon
by agents of the bureau for the pur
pose of ascertaining what aliens are
entering the United Statei under pass
ports to other countries, whether they
are a detriment to labor conditions
here, and how the Immigration should
be stopped. Under the existing law
many Japanese entering the country
from Mexico in violation of the law
have been deported without protest
from Japan. This la going on con
stantly. >
Officials now say that they believe
that the President will order an investi
gation before directing the exclusion
of Japanese coming from Hawaii - in
order to determine whether they are
actually a detriment to labor conditions
In this country.
wbelmlng majority of the people on the Pacific
Coast. It Is not what they hare asked for, and.
according to press dispatches, this was frankly
admitted by Congressman Hayes on the floor of
the Bouse.
The race question is the big thing. The
school question Is only lan Incident. If we had
received a real exclusion law In return for the
concessions in the matter of the schools, the
bargain would not have been so bad, but the
arrangement ma.de Is in my opinion about as
sour a lemon as the president could hare hand
ed to the Pacific Coast. Of course we are given
to understand that something more is 'promised
us. If we are very, very good. Whether that
something more Is - another large-sized lemon,
"the soft word," a gold brick or a big stick,
rctaaias to be seen.
HAVE EVADED QTJESTIOX
In line with Tveltmoe's views is that
of Walter Macarthur, editor of the
Coast Seamen's Journal and a labor
organizer prominently connected with
the exclusion movement, who addressed
a meeting of the Commercial Travel
ers' Association last night at Franklin
Hall on Fillmore street. He said in
part: :
Some people may hare gathered from what
they haT« heard that the question is settled.
But it is far from being settled, and I am
of the opinion that we are further from a
peaceful solution of the international problem
than ever. In fact, the recent adjustment of
the question is an Insult to the people of Cali
fornia. Presidents may write messages ana
they may wield big sticks; they may bulldoze
local delegations into, making all sorts of
propositions, but the people of California will
be heard from. .The question: has literally been
dumped for the time . bctng.
•In an editorial to bw published in this
morning's issue of the Japanese Dally
"I withdraw my objection," he said,
after returning to his place. •
'.The lawyer was apparently acting
under advice from the witness.
Jerome repeated the question.
"I first read of it in the newspapers,"
said Mrs. Thaw in a voice that was de
cidedly cheerful.
"When?" asked the prosecutor.
I don't remember Just when — some time in
1904. - ? v r
Sure it was not 1903?
I am sure it was in 1904.
Were yon in Boulogne at that time?
I don't remember.
You heard of it after Mr. Thaw had proposed
for your hand?
Yes.
Did you consult a lawyer?
Delmas objected, declaring this had
nothing to do with either the witness'
story to Thaw or her credibility. "It
will tend .to fix dates," suggested
Jerome In a tone which suggested that
it was a matter of no concern. It has
been reported that the District Attor
ney would attempt to show .that Mrs.
Thaw consulted with Abe Hummell
about the case. ]
"The objection is sustained," ruled
Justice Fitzgerald.
When you were In Boulogne and after you bad
heard yon' had been named as \u25a0 a' corespondent,'
did you write to any one in America?
Yes. I think I wrote to Stanford White. \u25a0 ,
And this was after Thaw bad proposed? \u25a0
Yes. • • . ' •
Did you cable to Stanford White from Bon
locne?
I don't remember.
"I understand your honor wishes to
adjourn 'at ' this hour,"' said Jerome,
looking at the clock, which pointed at
4:25.- \u25a0 - \u25a0 \u25a0 -\u25a0-.---- \u25a0 \u25a0\u25a0• \u25a0-—;:,>..
Justice Fitzgerald ordered an ad
journment until, tomorrow at ,10:30
o'clock, at which time District Attorney
Jerome will continue the cross-exami
nation of Mrs. Thaw.

PEOPLE`S NOMINATING MEASURE SEEING LIGHT
WAY IS CLEARED FOR
PRIMARY AMENDMENT
Assembly Committee Re-
cedes From Untenable
By George A- Van Smith
CALL HEADQUABTERS,
1007 EIGHTH STEEET.
SACRAMENTO, Feb. 19.^-By
agreeing to the; adoption ' v bf the joint
rules proposed by the J Senate the As^
scmbly committee cleared the. way to
day \u25a0 for , the submission of the Held-
Wright direct primary constitutional
amendment, and incidentally smoothed
a path for the Assembly but of the pit
it dug for itself by refusing to concur
in" the ' Senate proviso , tacked to the
amendment in the upper house. ?;.
In the Joint meeting of the rule'com
mlttees at 12:30 o'clock this. afternoon
Aiiseniblyman Leeds voted ..with, the
Senate contingent for the acceptance .of
the Senate proposition, and ": Grove/ I*
Johnson, who had been the keystone
on which \u25a0 the ; Aesembly based Its
resistance and also because, of whom
It was unwilling to : accept » the joint
rules of two years ago, gracefully ac
cepted defeat. It remains but for the
Assembly to ratify the work of i Its
committee and conference . committee*
can go to work at once on; the direct
primary amendment and other disputed
measures. . .- ;'> . . :
When the Assembly asked for a spe
cial conference on the Held-Wrlght
amendment It named: Held, Johnson and
Stetson as members of Its committee.
It Is altogether probable that this com
mittee will be renamed under the rules;
The Senate \ declined to consider the
matter of a committee until rules were
adopted, but It may be assumed that
Senator Wright, sponsor In • the upper
house for the direct primary measure,
and Senator Leavltt, chairman of the
caucus which made the Held-Wright
amendment a party .measure, will; be J
two of the three . members from the
upper house. A possible third .is Sen
ator Walker, chairman of the -Senate
committee on,, elections and election
laws, before which tho merits . of the
measure were so thoroughly threshed
out.
It should not be difficult for a con
ference committee constituted as thus
sugested to reach an agreement. / In
fact, it may be assumed that four of
the .five men named are virtually of the
same mind about the form of the
amendment that should be submitted.
This being true.it should be easy for
the amendment to pass, both houses
and be ready for the signature of the
Governor on Saturday evening, or Mon
day at the latest. Governor Gillett,
while inclined.to view the Senate pro
viso as a bit of unnecessary and hu
morous safeguarding, favors the sub
mission of a constitutional amendment
and will, be ready to sign it when it
gets to him.
By the barest kind- of a margin, a
margin that could be overcome by the
change or acquisition of two votes, the
Sanf ord bill providing lor a, popular
advisory nominating vote on candidates
for United States. Senators wasp de
feated in the Senate today.- -The final
vote was 16 in the. affirmative and 18
in ' the negative.
The friends of the measure believe
that had . several Senators realized how
close the .measure was to passage Ithey
would have voted -in the affirmative,
and .they hope to slip over a; majority
vote" on a reconsideration, notice ' for
which has been given.
The Sanford bill is simply an adapta
tion of the Oregon. idea, which contem
plates placing the names of .candidates
for the United States/Senate on \u25a0\u25a0 the
general election ballot, a canvass of the
general vote and a return of that vote
World : the .settlement of the 'school
question is criticised. :It is termed
quite unsatisfactory by, tho editor, who
points out that- it is possible for the
Board. of Education to make arbitrary
rules concerning : the examination- of
pupils to bft admitted to schools with
American children. The editorial is as
follows: s "\u25a0\u25a0.\u25a0'. \u25a0\u25a0--\u25a0 '.-'v'\ '
' According to the school matter ai?r»eiri(»nt be
tween the President and the San Fraaclaco com
mittee, "all children '\u25a0 of . alien races uadp» 16
years of age. who speak '\u25a0 the English language.
may be admitted to. the. white, schools.' • Special
schools; are to b« ' established for children of
alien birth who are deficient in the elements of
the English language." r - VT« haxe • beanl that
the School Board will make detailed rules to
determine • the standard of B(imlttsn<*<?,*. and the
Board 'of Education will probably, make a- strlpt
rule for English-epeakine Japanese children. : :
The majority, of the- Japanese children cannot
read or speak English fluently. According to
the agreement,- the Japanese children who can
not speak English fluently cannot . attend the
public schools. Therefore, if the Board of Edu
cation will maliciously . make .strict ; rules for
the examination of ' Japanese children, then the
agreement is weak from ; tho Japanese side.
Thus,: according , to our opinion, - the . school
question should not be. settled '.ln, that way. and
we are; not satisfied 'with our side of the, agree
ment. Hence. we: wish the Board of Education
would gire admission to all, children without
restriction as before the fire. : :-' : --""- ';'\u25a0-\u25a0' -v"- -ix

Pete, Kelly sprang to the rescue of
the \u25a0 racetracks. -,.
"This ; ia ' : , one principal "reason why I
came to .the Assembly," he began.' Af
ter, some irrelevant remarks he "went
on to recall the days of the great fire.
"People were: roving about^ irrespective
of ' party or \u25a0-\u25a0. religion," : said " Pete. , . He
himself and .'members of his -family
were in dire ' straits. "We were look-
Ing- for Borne place to . lay our little
heads,".- cried-. Pete. The Assembly
laughed,* and Pete, said 'reprovingly,
"Gentlemen, this, is; no josh."
\u25a0 Pete at last got down to the kernel
of : his argument. "Who camerto»our
rescue? 1 : he. asked. "The California
Jockey Club opened up Emeryville and
said:VGentlemen, come in and lay your '
heads.'" "., .1
Devlin of v Vallejo,' in closing an able
speech against the evils of professional
gambling, asked the fathers? of fam
ilies: "Would you want : .your; daughter
to marry a racetrack habitue?" - Kelly
sprang to his' feet.. "I'll answer you,"
he said. " "Yes," I would." -'. ". ;
;> .Thompson of Los. Angeles and Otis of
Alameda argued that the question was
one of morality and that racetrack bet
ting was a curse to the State. ! Grove
Johnson closed the debate. He * called
the Emeryville - racing enterprise "a
.plain,- unadulterated, ? gigkhtic steal.";
> Then came the; roll call.* The nine
members from Los Angeles, all pledged
to vote for {measures aimed;, at race
track . gambling, :• were ; on hand, and
