.scattered among: 23 schools. Twenty
five of the children were born In the
United States. 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

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

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
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-

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 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." \

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."

Dr. Henry 8. 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.

one is beter qualified to talk upon the
subject than he. He Is now on u tour

been derived by the children of North

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

the lecture, which was illustrated with
stereoptlcon views, a large number of

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
