San Francisco, Oct. 26.-Judge VOL
berton of tho United States circuit

lngIy Grave.

Washington, Oct. 26.-The days
sabinet meeting was attended by all
the members except Secretary Shaw
and Postmaster General Cortelyou.
Among the important matters dis
cussed was the situation growing out
of the anti-American sentiment in
Japan and the exclusion of Japanese
children from the public schools of
San Francisco.
It was stated by a member of the
cabinet after the meeting that the gen
eral opinion of the members was that
the Japanese situation was exceed
ingly grave and would require the
most delicate treatment to avoid an
open rupture.
1t developed that the proceedings
initiated in San Francisco to compel
the authorities to receive Japanese
pupils into the public schools were
directed by the department of justice.
Later President Roosevelt directed
Victor III. Metcalf, secretary of the de
partment of m and labor, to
go to San Francisco and make a thor
ough and complete inquiry into the
situation.
