san Francisco Dec. 20--Mrs. Flora B Harris, now residing at Tokio, and widely known as Q missionary. recent Iv addressed a communication to the San Francisco Board of Education, in which she deplored San Francisco's att ittude towards Japanese in rublic schools. criticized what she termed the 'provincial spirit" of the local oliicials. She deprecated the attempt to classify the Japanese as ''Orientals," and ex- pressed surprise that the children of any foreign residents should be "ex- cluded from the public schools"
 The Board of Education has framed a reply which will be mailed to Mrs. Harris. This reply asserts that the Japanese have not been "excluded' from the schools, despite the fact fact no less a parsonage than the President of the United States has instigated a sfmilar assertion in framing a message to Congress and notwithstanding the wholly unfair report made of the school incident by the Secretary of Commerce and Labor, Victor Fl.

At Annual BanquetN Where Colonel CalEey Presided Ex-Seeretary Oa Navy Makes Plea for State's
 Rights.

New York, Dec. 2O.--IIilary A. Her bert, former Secretary of the Navy, was the principal speaker at the an- nual dinner of the Alabama Society held at the Hotel Astor tonight Col onel Francis G. Caffey. President of the Societys presided.
 In his speech Mr. Herbert referred to the recent speech of Secretary Root in this city in advocacy of increased power of the Federal government
 ''The State of Alabama" said Mir. Herbert, twas built in that memorable era, 18011S25. As to what were the proper functions of a State, and as to the true meaning of the Federal Con- stitution, the leading Alabamians were thoroughly imbued with the Ideas of the philosopher statesman. Thomas Jefferson. In Federal politics that was the day of the States rights--the Fed erai Constitution was to be strictly construed.
 Baldwin, in his imitable Flush Times of Alabama and Mississippi, facetiously hits off this doctrine by saying that the Constitution was A thing of that curious virtue that it's excellence consisted in not allowing the government to do anything
 What a difference between the teachings of Jefferson and the pro- nouncement of Secretary Root in this city recently. when the tItular chief of the present cabinet made an an- nouncement which appears to mean that the Constitution ought to be con strued so as to allow the Federal gov erDment to do anything and everything that a State government ought to do and fails to do"
 Mir. Herbert touched upon the race issue In the South and pointed out as a remedy for friction between whites and blacks in the South the action of Governor Jelks in exhorting the good negroes to strive to- keep down crime among the bad ones.
 Mir. Herbert defended the action of President Roosevelt in dismissing the three companies of negroes on charges of rioting at Brownsville, and added : What the President did, U. s. Grant and Robert E. Lee did, and am sure that, although there may be a few sentimentalists who can never forget the color line and will therefore still criticize, all those who followed Grant during the civil war, and their descen- dants, and all those who followed Lee during the civil war and their descen-. dants will rally around MT.
