.scattered among 23 schools. Twenty-
|ve of the children were born In the
United State#. He says there la only
one Japanese student attending the
fchool set aside for Orientals.
He said he found sentiment In the
ktatc very strong ugalnst Japanese
young men attending the primary
grades. Mr. Metcalf thinks this ob
joction Is reasonable. All the political
parties of California had inserted Jap
anese and Korean exclusion planks In
their platforms and the state legisla-
I lure passed a resolution urging that
Japanese laborers be not admitted to
the United States.
The press of San Francisco generally
upholds the action of the board of edu-
catlon. 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 bo
admitted to them. •
Feeling it Intensified.
The feeling against the Japanese is
Intensified by reason of the fact that
American lnborers and shop-keepers
are being crowded out of business In
Hawaii. He says many of the fore
most educators of California nre 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.
The San Francisco board of educa
tion refused to rescind Its order ex
cluding Japanese children ffom the
public schools and a boycott was main
tained from October 3 to October 25
by mem hers of the cooks’ and waiters*
union against Japanese restaurant.*,
tabor 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: Patronize 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,
nones were thrown, windows broken
and, In one or two instances, proprie
tors of restaurants were struck by
those stones. Mr. Metcalf interviewed
some of the Japanese restaurant keep-
rs who told him the police seemed to
be In league with the demonstators, as
they would make no arrests. When
certain policemen came on the beat
the boycotters fled. One of the boycot-
ters told a Japanese that the boycott
was to be kept up till the Japs gave
up their business, packed their goods
and returned whence they came.
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
Jng $250 remained unpaid, no one call
ing for it.
Mr. Metcalf says henvas 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.
Boys and Men Guilty.
[ 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 os soon as the boycott
as Instituted."
Assaults have from time to time
been mdde 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. Omori. 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.
Raoial Hostility Is Causa.
Mr. Metcalf thinks all assaults on
the Japanese were the result of racial
hostility. Of 290 cases of assault oc
curring in San Francisco between May
5 and November 5, only seven were
against 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
thq law and the protection of prop-

erty and persons, you looked to them
to see that all Japanese subjects resi
dent In San Francisco were afforded
the full protection guaranteed to them
by our treaty with Japan. I also In
formed them that 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, nnd to secure
fit nnd proper treatment for the poo-
ple of a great and friendly power
while within the territory of the Unit
ed Htates.
"If, therefore, the police power of
San Francisco Is not sufficient to meet
the situation and guard and protect
Japanese residents in Ban 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."

Will Turnage, Robert Tumage’a
brother, said the prisoner attacked him
several times and he had to knock the
defendant down.
His sister, Madge Turner, said he
threatened to kill her once.
Dr. Stuart Roberts was the star wit
ness for the defense. He said he ex
amined Turnage at the Jail last Sun
day. Turnage Is Insane, he said, and
shows many marks of Inherited degen
eracy.
Turnage a Degenerate?
The prisoner’! head, he said, Is de
formed. There le a concavity on the
right side of the head. The ears are
set low down and are uneven. They
are differently formed. This Is one of
the chief signs of degeneracy. Hie
teeth are enlarged and resemble those
of an animal more than a man. He
has a “high-roof palate."
Mentally, Dr. Roberts said, the pris
oner showed the following signs of de
generacy: He has no memory, le very
Inattentive and he "winks all the
time."
“The prisoner has an abnormal ap
petite,*’ said Dr. Roberts. "He can eat
a quart of oysters at a time. This is a
good sign of degenerncy.”
In his cross-examination by Colonel

laughter by his answers. In reply to a
question as to the oysters, he said he
himself liked oysters and he did not
think he was Insane.

If the position of stenographer end secre
