A special message from the presi-
dent transmitting the report of Secre-
tary Metcalf on conditions in San

The presidents message says Mr..
Metcalf's report deals with three mat
ters of controversy-the exclusion of
Japanese children from the public
schools of San Francisco, the boycott

of violance committed against the
Japanese.
The Japanese children, the president
says, are bright and clean and be-
cause they are scattered all over San
Francisco 1t would be impossible for
them to go to one special school.
There could be no objection, the presi-
dent says, to excluding Japanese from
schools on the score of age, it being
obviously not desirable that young
men go to school with children. The
number Of Japanese children attend
ing the school in San Francisco was
very small. The government has
brought suit to test the separate
school act.
Regarding violence to Japanese, the
president states that the sentiment in
California is for law and order, and
the San Francisco authorities assured
Mr.. Metcalf that the Japanese would
be protected. Should they fail so to
do, the president informed them that
both the civil and military force of
the United States would be employed
to protect the Japanese.

CASE DISMISSED.
But Judge Declares Intention of Pun
ishing Unlawful Speed Makers.

II am going to hold automobile drivers
strictly to the law and accountable for
their violations" stated Judge Mullowny
in the District branch of the Police Court
today. DIR. Francis P. Vale. 1916 street,
charged with violating the auto speed law
in the Geological park, was reported to the
court.
Judge Mullowny added that he considered
the matter a very important one, II the
rights of others are to be protected, and
that he will give special attention to cases
in which violations of the speed laws are
charged.
Special Officer Kramer of the park police
force testified that, as the result of COM
plants, a course of three-fourths of mile
was measured off and the time of machines
passing the beginning and end of this
course was taken by special officers. When
the timers of DR.. Wales passing were COM
pared it was found that he made the dis
lance in . minutes % seconds, which is 50
seconds faster than that allowed by the
law.
DO you want to testify?" DR.. Vale was
asked.
Yes, 1 want to get my moneys WORTH
replied DIR. Vale.
Al the conclusion of the evidence Judge
Mulowny announced that he considered
the speed too near that allowed by law to
admit of a conviction and he dismissed the
case.

SHIPS IN HIGH SCHOOLS.

The examinations of candidates for the
principalships Of the Eastern and NJ Street

running smoothly by Monday.
