Cling with ominous explanations of the
refusal of his Majesty Mutsuhitos men
of-war to pay a friendly visit to the
bay of San Francisco, the children ,of
the Croker Grammar School have de-
cided to settle the segregation question
for themselves.
Sentiment is about evenly divided at
the school, which is looking forward
with much eagerness to the debate to
be held in open assembly tomorrow to
decide the question.
Ruth Almede Smith, who has the per-
suasive grace of Portia in forensic
effort. will be among the main oppo-

PRESLEY was busy after school hours
yesterday interviewing Japanese edi-

for the debate. After tour of the
Japanese colony he took home with him

matter and has entered into the spirit
of the debate with enthusiasm. He in
tends to write about it to the news

illustration of the progressiveness of

GROUND TO DEATH
BY CAR WHEELS
George Koehler, in Rushing
to Catch Boat, Is Killed
at Ferry Station Loop
DIES IN AMBULANCE

The United Railroads added another
ing when Masonic avenue car No. 1906
crushed and mangled George Koehler,
foreman machinist, on Market. near
Spear street. The car was in charge
Of Motorman James H. Ellis and Con-
ductor J. w. Bennett.
After an hours work Koehler. who
still breathed, was extricated from the
car trucks under the direction of Pa
trolman D. ]. Collins and the ambu-
lance started with him for the Central
Emergency Hospital He died on the
way. Ellis was taken to the O'Farrell
street station by Patrolman G. j. Jen-
kins and charged with nanslaughter.
The usual railroad representative was
awaiting to secure his release with the
usual $50 bail.
But one witness to the accident was
secured by the railroad men, Oscar de
Wall, who gave his residence as Hunt
ers Point, seemed anxious to be taken
by the police as witness. He claimed
that Koehler was intoxicated and
lurched In front of the car. This was
disproved at the hospital. where 1t was
shown that the unfortunate man had
been perfectly sober. e. ]. Lindon of
the steamer Watson and Clifford Nc
Fall.o AZ Sacramento street, witnesses
to the accident, assert that Koehler
was in a car ferry-bound, when the
usual blockade at the loop was en-
countered. Hoping to make his boat,
he left the car and ran ahead alongside
the track. He stumbled over cobbles
thrown up by the United Railroads in
laying temporary tracks, and fell under
the wheels.
Fearing the truth regarding the acci-
dent, Inspector No. 10 notified both mo-
torman and conductor to withhold
their names and the facts regarding
the accident from the police In addi-
tion to making himself oficious in this
case, Inspector No. 10, who is stationed
at Sutter and Market streets. is said
to have been guilty recently of order
ing women and children out of the
cars rudely when protest was made to
the conductor for turning back al
Market street.
Koehler was thirty-five years old and
has; been working for Contractor Nc
Manus. He arrived here three days
ago from Portland and leaves a mother
and a sister in that city.

ARREST SIX YOUNG
MEN As THUGS

Richard Schultz. Joseph Lenzi. Jo-
seph Irwin, Joseph Perry, William
Jones and Martin Celestini, six young
men, were arrested yesterday on
charges of holding up and robbing
three persons.
The victims of the band according
to the police, were an unknown man,
who was held up and beaten at the
corner of Baker and Page streets and
relieved of diamond ring and some
money. Tom Sing. a Chinese laun-
dryman, of % Baker street. who was
robbed of $40; and Frank Fletcher OF
Fresno, who was relieved of $14 in
money and two revolvers, at Geary and
Baker streets.
The Chinese laundryman followed
one of the youths who held him ur
and accosted three policemen, Kissane
Delmar and Deligrhi, and they accom-
panied him. Martin Calestini was
pointed out by Sing and taken into
custody. From information given by
Calestini his accomplices were arrested
Four of the young men were con-
fined in a cell with Siemsen. the gas
pipe murderer, at the Bush-stre sta
tion- The kanaka says he made the
most of his brief acquaintance with
them and learned that two of the
youths threw their pistols away be-
fore the police arrested them.
Thus far the prisoners have main
tained an air of injured innocence
and have not made confession. The
statements as to their whereabouts
were contradictory. and Captain Duke
believes that at least three of the gang
will break down and confess
