DEMANDS RIGHTS
FOR JAP CHILDREN

Washington, D. c., Oct. 26.-Vis-
count Aoki, the Japanese ambassa.
dor, in an interview with Secretary
Root at the state department yester.
day made the request, in behalf Of
ibis government, that the United
States see that the japanese subjects
in California we're granted their full
rights under the treaty Of 1894, In.
Guiding the right Of children. to
freely attend the public schools OF
San Francisco. Secretary Root will
take the matter up with the presi.
dent and 1t is likely that representa-.
lions will be made to the authori.
ties Of California. g
The ambassador said that the ex-
clusion Of Japanese children from tho
California schools was the CHIEF
cause for the criticism of the Uniteu
States. He was inclined to discount
the other causes given for the senti'
ment against this country.
aThe friendship between the Uni.
ted States and Japan Is too genuine
and OF too long standing to Justify
any formal protest on the part Of
Japan because Of wrongs her citi-
zens may have suffered in some one
locality in the United States" said
Viscount Aoki. There Is much mis-.
understanding In Japan concerning
the true situation. OF course the
Japanese government fully realizes
that the action against the japanese
children Is local and not general In
this country, but all the Japanese do
not understand conditions In this
country and q local unfriendliness to
Japan Is regarded by many persons
Las national action.

chants were ready to desert San Fran
cisco and locate in Oakland until such
time at least as San Francisco could be
rebuilt.
The wholesalers announced their in
tention to congregate in one district If
possible. They preferred the southern
part of the city because of the railroad
facilities there. When the real estate
men mentioned several sites in the
vicinity of North Beach the merchants
said these would have to receive Sec
ond call, as they wanted south of Mar
ket street, if such a location were at
all possible.
The wholesalers said most of their
members were willing to be housed un-
der one or two roofs at the present
time, and that they could manage with
such quarters for at least a year. They
then asked the real estate men for fig
ures on buildings. 1t was impossible
for the latter to furnish this data under
present conditions, so the wholesalers
agreed to wait for few days for their
answer
The wholesalers. announced that six
of their members would require at least
100000 square feet. Before the meet
ing adjourned others told the realty men
that they intended to join with the six
in reopening right away, and, in rough
figures, it is estimated that the mer-
chants will need at least 100000
square feet of ground space.

SANTA ROSA TO BE REBUILT.
Entire Business Section of City De-
stroyed by Earthquake.

Santa Rosa, Cal, April 27.-The lat
est figures show ffty-one dead, sixty.
three injured and seven missing, as pub
/ lished in these dispatches.
The entire business section of the
town was destroyed and many resi-
dences went down.
Twenty fires started, but the water
supply was unimpaired, and within
three hours the flames were under con-
troll.
Cut off by the disaster from COM
munication with the rest of the world,
Santa Rosa knew nothing of the de-
struction of San Francisco until the ar
rival from there of trainload of nearly
1000 refugees, begging for help that
could not be given, but nearby towns
came to the rescue, and after a period
of starvation and suffering aid was re-
ceived.
The courthouse. the new Masonic tenn
pie, the new library and the Odd Fell
lows building went with the other
buildings, but larger and better struc-
lures will replace them.
1t is the intention of business men at
once to begin rebuilding. The savings
bank of Santa Rosa occupied a $4,000
building. It's new one, which will be an
Office building, will cost $25O,OOO.
Con Shea, who lost five buildings,
worth 100000, says that his five new
ones will be worth twice that sum.
The same spirit is manifested by all
who have been interviewed.
