Many Shots Fired, but Only One OF tho
Belllg erents Injured.

Adams, 50 years old. Of los Navy street.
Infranz arrived In this country only
few weeks ago. Cne Of his first purchases
was q bulldog revolver. Yesterday after
noon he met Adams. whom he had known
about ten days. They strolled around the
navy yard and through the little park
which Is close by. Becoming involved In
an argument. they stopped at Navy street
and Park avenue to finish it.
Adams said something that angered
Infranz. The latter drew bis revolver.
then he backed down to shooting distance
and fired q shot. 1t struck Adanss left
arm near the shoulder.
Adams drew his revolver and fred at
the baker. but missed. Then Infrans
raised his weapon again and fired two moro
bullets at his antagonist, missing him both
times. Adams fired again, but the bullet
went wild.

them. Patrolmen Molen and Peterson OF

CLASSES JAPS WITH CHINESE.
Attempt to Keep Jap Children Out Of
white Schools In San Francisco.

SAN FBANo1sco, Sept 1.-The question
OF providing public school education
for Japanese children has now come to a
head. The increase Of such children has
been so great that In many cases white
children have been forced out OF school
on their acc nnt.
The Superintendent Of Schools referred
the matter to City Attorney Long and he
has rendered an opinion In which he declares
that the 200 Japanese children now attend
ing the various public schools must 90 to
the Chinese public school II they want free
education.
The attorney takes the broad ground
that the Japanese are,Mongolians and that
therefore the children have no right to
attend the schools provided for the children
Of white parentage. He holds, however.
that IL the Japanese apply for instruction
in grades that are not provided In the Chi
nese schooh, they must be admitted to the
regular schools.
The result will probably be the enlarge
ment Of the Chinese. public school. which
is now teaching only the primary and
lower grammar grades, Influential Japa-
nese are sure to appeal from this decision,
as they say they are not Mongoians, Many
OF them are American citizens who pay
taxes, They will therefore make the fight
to have their children admitted to the pub
lie schools with the white children.

Masked Men.

WINNIPEG, Sept. 1.-THE Canadian
Pacific transoontinental express, which left
here on Thursday morning. was held up by
masked robbers at Mission Junction, B. c.,
on Saturday night and the mail and express
cars looted. The men escaped with about
$4,000, and it Is thought that they have
crossed the border into the United States.
A posse was organized and sent In pur-
suit, but has not succeeded IN locating the
bandits.
Engineer Scott had pulled his train but
a short. distance out Of Mission junction
when he heard a command to throw up his
hands. He looked back and, finding that
he was covered by revolvers In the hands
of three men, made haste to obey the order.
The next command was to stop the train
and as soon as this was done two OF the
men left the cab accompanied by the fire.

engineer. The train was made up with the
mail and baggage cars next to the engine
and the masked robbers compelled the fire.
man to cut of these cars.
AS soon as the cars were uncoupled the
engine was pulled ahead past Silver Dale,
when the train was stopped and the ex-
press messenger, Herbert Mitchell, ordered
to open his car At first he refused but on a
threat to use dynamite he yielded. He
opened the safe and the robbers dumped
the contents into sacks. The mail car
was next visited and the clerks, Therburn
and Tough, were forced to give up the
registered packages. The men secured
between 81 900 and s5. 900 in gold dust and
about 81 900 in currency from the express
car. The mail packages, 1t Ia thought, will
bring the value OF the loot up to $40 900.
although nothing certain Ia known OF their
value.
As soon as both cars were cleaned out
they were pulled ahead to a point between
Ruskin and Whiarneck, where the three
men took to the woods. Chief Mcleod oil
the Canadian Pacific Railroad police and
Chief Campbell OF the Provincial police
were notified, and at once started for the
