sanaily by Secretary Metcaf on tho
situation affecting the Japanese In

three matters OF controversy first.
The exclusion Of the Japanese chiIdrea
from the San Francisco schools: sec

tanrantl, and third. acts of violence
ic9mmltted against the Japanese
As 10 the first matter / call voar
especial attention to The very small

they can not have school facilities.
Let me point out further that there
would be no objection whatever til

Ylously not desirable that young men
ahould go to school with children.
The only point Ii the exclusion OF the
children themselves. The number of

small Thr government lsfs already
directed that suit be brought To test

that such suit viii not be necessarv.
and that as matter Of comfy the
citizens Of San Francisco will refuse
10 deprive these young Japanese chill
dren OF education and will permit
them to go TO the schools.
The question as to the violence

ably put by Secretary Metcalf. and
have noth'ng to add to his statement.

ary Metcalf says. the overwhelming

FOR BIGGEST BATTLESHIP
United States May Build Warship Of
Twenty Thousand Tons.
WOULD CARRY TWELVE TwELVE-INCH GUNS
Plan is Not Approved by All Naval
Officers, Some of whom Pre-
fer More Smaller
Vessels.

WASHINGTON. March 29.-Since the de-
cision Of the house committee on naval
affairs to recommend and appropriation of
S60OO,00 for the construction OF battle
ship larger than any now afloat naval
experts in Washington nave begun heated
discussion of the size of battleship, which
shows that Admiral Dewey is not sup
ported by many naval officers in his
advocacy of a battleship greater than the
1000 ton English battleship Dreadnaught
Naval constructors are agreed that an
effective battieship with a displacement Of
10000 tons or more can be constructed for
the American navy, but the advisability OF
authorizing one ship of this type at the
present time and not making an effort to
provide additional 1900 ton battleship to
supplement the quota of smarter ships and
thus make a desirable working unit out
OF them is questioned by many naval au-
thorities
At least four battleshlps OF the same
speed and with similar batteries and equip
ment are necessary according to the view
Of these constructors. to be effective in an
engagement. One great battleship. even II
1t be swifter and have more guns that
other ships afioat they contend, cannot
accomplish anything in actual warfare and
is no more effective than the slower and
less formidable ships with which it is
Joined In action,
II congress should decide that the new
battleship must nave twelve 12-inch guns,
! as has been suggested a ship with dis
placement of 1900 tons would be neces-
sary, in the opinion of Admiral Caps and
Secretary Bonaparte believes this will
probably be the size of the proposed ship.
The British battleship Dreadnaught carries
only ten 12-inch guns
