He Kays there is only one Japanese student attending the .school «et aside for Orientals. He said he found sentiment In the state very strong against Japanese voting men attending the primary grades. Mr. Metcalf thinks this ob jection Is reasonable. All the political parties of California had Inserted Jap anese and Korean exclusion planks in their platforms and the state legisla ture passed a resolution urging that .!,\panese laborers be not admitted to the United States. The press of San Francisco generally upholds the action of the board of edu cation. The more violent papers re gard the Japanese as no better than the Chinese. The conservative papers contend that the public schools of Cali fornia are a state and not a Federal institution, and the boards of educa tion have a right to say who shall ne admitted to them. Feeling is Intensified. The feeling ugnlnst the Japanese !s intensified by reason of the fact that American laborers and shop-keepers are bring crowded out of business in Hawaii. He says many of the fore most educators of California are op posed to the action of the board of ed ucation. Japanese are admitted totho University of California and welcomed nt .Stanford University. Teachers speak in high terms of Japanese school children. 0 The San Francisco board of educa tion refused to rescind its order ex cluding Japanese children from the public schools and a boycott was main tained from October 3 to October 26 by members of the cooks’ and waiters’ union against Japanese restaurants. Labor leaders, .however, disclaimed knowledge of any formal action of the unions against the Japs. Pickets posted in the neighborhood of Jap restaurants distributed match boxes bearing this inscription: "White men and women: Patronise your own race." It was generally known that labor men were opposed to their fellow workmen patronizing Jap restaurants. Stones Were Thrown. While the boycott was maintained, stones were thrown, windows broken and, in one or two Instances, proprie tors of restaurants were struck by these stones. Mr. Metcalf interviewed some of the Japanese restaurant keep ers who told him the police seemed to Special to The Georgian. Columbus. Ga„ Pec. 18.—The charter granted the Swift Spinning Mills of this city by the superior court marks another great step in the cotton mill business in this city. This company organized Saturday with a capital of $125,000, and proposes to build n flue mill at North Highlands, the site Tor which has been secured, and work on which will begin at once. This will be the second exclusive spinning mill’here, the Illbb mill being the first one, tilid will be operated by electric (Htwer, the same ns the other mill. The demand for Southern-spun yarns is constantly on the Increase. There la no doubt of the netv mill being a success.

The Japanese got together and rais ed $350 to pay the boycotters to call the boycott off. One Jap testified that $100 of this sum was paid to a man, whom Mr. Metcalf was told, was W. 8. Stevenson. The boycott ceased, but the remain ing $250 remained unpaid, no one call ing for it. Mr. Metcalf says he waa assured by the chief of police that the restau rants would be protected. Officers were detailed for duty at the restaurants and no further trouble was experienced. Boye and Men Guilty. "I am satisfied," says Mr. Metcalf, "from Inquiries made by me and from statements made to me by the Japan ese restaurant keepers, that the throw ing of stones and breaking of windows was not done by the men picketing the restaurants, but by young men and boys who had gathered In front of the restaurants as soon as the boycott was Instituted." Assaults have from time to time been made on Japanese subjects, and policemen In plain clothes were as signed to duty to prevent such at tacks. This action followed a protest from the Japanese consul. Most of these attacks were made by boys and young men and were most vicious. Only one seemed for the pur pose of robbery. Among those assault ed were Dr. F. Omorl, of the Impe rial University of Toklo, one of the world’s most distinguished scientists, and Professor T. Nakamura, professor of architecture In the Imperial Uni versity of Toklo. Both were stoned by young toughs and hoodlums. Neither wanted to make formal complaint of these assaults. Racial Hostility Is Causs. Mr. Metcalf thinks all assaults on the Japanese were the result of racial hostility. Of 290 cases of assault oc curring In 8an Francisco between May 5 and November 5, 6nly seven were agnlnst Japanese, and they were charged with disturbing the peace. Concluding, Mr. Metcalf says: "I Impressed very strongly upon the acting mayor of the city, as also upon the chief of police, the gravity of the situation, and told them that, as offi cers charged with the enforcement of the law and the protection of prop- 8 pedal to The Georgian.

I also In formed them thnt if the local author ities were not able to cope with the situation, or if they were negligent or derelict In the performance of their duty, then the entire power of the fed eral government within the limits of the constitution would be used, and used promptly and vigorously, to en force observance of treaties, which, under the constitution, are the su preme law of the land, and to secure fit and proper treatment for the peo ple of a great and friendly power while within the territory of the Unit ed States. "If, therefore, the police,power of San Francisco is not sufficient to meet the situation nnd guard and protect Japanese, residents In San Francisco, to whom under our treaty with Japan we guarantee perfect protection for their persons and property, then, it seems to me, It Is clearly the duty of the federal government to afford such protection." \ OPEN NIGHTS }: ; ‘_£>nning with today our shop will be kept open evenings until nine or ten o’clock that the many peo ple who are unable to do their shopping during the day may have the opportunity of inspecting our line of Holiday goods.

Turnage a Degenerate? The prisoner’s head, he said, Is de formed. There Is a concavity on the right side of the head. The ears are set low down nnd are uneven. They are differently formed. This Is one of the chief signs of degeneracy. His teeth are enlarged and resemble those of an animal more than a man. He has a "hlgh-robf palate."

Curtis lectured Monday night at the Y. M. A. hall to a large and appreciative audience, on play grounds for the children, and in an In tercstlng manner he pointed out the benefits to be derived from them. Dr. Curtis Is one of the leaders In this movement which is now extend ing throughout the country, and one is beter qualified to talk upon the subject than he. He Is now on u tour of the South In the interest of the mat ter And his visit to Atlanta was a suc cess. He showed what advantages had been derived by the children of North ern cities, where millions of dollars had been spent on play-grounds, and told how much better play-ground children progressed in school. The lecture was given under the auspices of the At lanta Sociological Society and the As sociated Charities. For an hour after the lecture, which was illustrated with stereoptlcon views, a large number of the audience remained and asked ques tions of Dr. Curtis about the subject. I Since Judge R. R. Russell of tjie appellate court has appointed Miss Marlon Blood- worth at bis private secretary a question has been raised as to her eligibility for the position. If the position of stenographer and secre tary to an appellate Judge la considered a civil office, then, under the rode. Miss Illoodwortb cannot hold the position. The code says: "Females are not entitled to the privilege of the elective franchise; nor can they hold any civil office or perform any civil func tions, unless especially authorised by law." Hincc then a special act has been passed, making a woman eligible as state librarian, although no woman has ever held the posi tion. That act was passed especially to benefit Miss Ellen Dortch, but she was married to General Long*tr<-et before being appointed. Mrs. Cobb Is now assistant li brarian. No woman has ever served ss secretary and stenographer to any supreme eourt Jus tice, and Miss Woodworth's appointment aa Judge Russell's seeretary Is a decided* * pnrtiire. It has raised the questloL . whether the position Is a civil one or not. The secretaries to the new Judges will re celve $1,500 per nnnum. There is no question ss to Miss RUmm1< worth’s ability to discharge the duties ef ficiently. For n number of years she hns been lu the employ of Colonel Walter Brown, who gives ample testimony regard ing her cnpnldiltles.
