 GANGS FIGHT Pitched Battle Near
 Louisville. TWO SCORE BADLY SHOCKED Louisville and Eastern Resorted to Eleetrifying Rails. When L. and N. People Attempted To Take Them Up With Crow-bars They Were Knocked stiH By Current.

Louisville, Ky, Oct. 2s.-A pitched battle in which electricity. picks, shovels and fists were used as weap- ons and in which 400 men participated. was fought by rival track laying gangs of the Louisville and Nashville Rail- road and the Louisville and Eastern Electric Railway today.
 About two score of the combatants were badly shocked or battered up but none was seriously wounded. Tho fight took place just east of Boards, station twenty miles east of Louis- vile. where a gang of 100 Louisville and Eastern men attempted to lay their track across the Louisville and Nashville line.
 They had only partially finished their work when 300 Louisville and Nashville men appeared and started tearing the rails up. A general bat tie followed immediately. during which the Louisville and Eastern men resort ed to the novel expedient of charging tricity from trolley wire.
 When the Louisville and Nashville men applied their crowbars to the charged rails q score of them were knocked stiff. All. however, soon re- covered.
 County officials of Oldham county put an end to the fight and arrested two dozen of the leaders on each side. An armed truce prevails tonight and it Is expected that the right of way question will be taken into the courts tomorrow.

Oct. 2s.-"when Sec retary Victor Metcalf arrives to in- quire into the action taken and by the board of education of the city and county of San Francisco in providing a separate school for Japanese chill dren. we will meet him more than halt way" was the statement of President Altman today.
 "The position taken by the boArd was for the best interests of the pub lie schools of San Francisco and in strict conformity with the State laws. We believed that the best interests of schools should be subrcrved by send ing children of Japanese parentage to separate schools. If we have erred and can be shown wnsreby we have done so. the board will De more than pleased to correct its mistake-if any has been made.
 Without receding from our position, the board claims that tne fault---if any sxists--is with the legislative body of tn" state. Tn plain and un- mistakable language that particular section of the statuhe unoer which the board acted. stated that all children os oriental percentage shall be placed In separate school. The board would like to have tho constitutionality of the statute tested in tho courts"
 Ciy School Superintendent Roncon. veri said the coming of Secretary Met calf was not necessary as the exclusion of Japanese from the schools provided for white children Is required by law
 Many of the so-ca1led Japanese school children" said MT. Ronconveri, are men of twenty to twenty 1.-Two years of age"
 These pupils are largely of the Jap-. anese servant class. working for their board and lodging. They are to be commended for working. but they are not entitled to go to school like little boys and girls.
 We do not deny the Japanese any educational rights. but there are sep- arate schools for them. and those they must attend.
 ''Of course, if the United States de- clares our statute law is in conflict with treatry that's another mattss But at present we are guided solely by California law"

Tokio. Oct. 2s-The course of action pursued by the United States with view to protecting the treaty rights of the Japanese has been somewhat effective in soothing the feelings of tho Japanese people injured by the San Francisco school incident, and accent uating the confidence of the people in President Roosevelt, whose fairness Is praised on all sides. It Is altogether unlikely and there Is as yet no sign whatever that the Japenese will imi- tate the Chinese in boycotting Ameri- can Woods.

GRAND PARADE
Of THE ELKS

DENVER, July 19.-The great
Elks' parade this afternoon was the
most interesting and spectacular
event of the convention week. More
than $4,000 men, each delegation
handsomely uniformed according
to their taste, formed the column
which marched through the princi-
pal streets of the city, accompanied
by more than a hundred bands,
which had come from all parts of
the United States.
The eastern delegates had mostly
confined themselves to uniforms Of
a neat but sober character, but
some Of the western delegations
were arrayed in the most pictur-
esque COSTUMES. One of the large
delegations from the southwest was
dressed in the garb of cowboys and
was cheered to the echo.
