SOME FACTS BROUGHT OUT.
Discussion of japanese School Cues
ton Fruitful of Good Results.

ton fruitful or GOOD Results.
In the opinion of prominent government
officials who have followed closely the re-
cent discussion concerning the treatment
of Japanese in San Francisco not only by
the school authorities, but also by the citi-
zens, some of whom instituted boycotts
against them, the experience has been fruit
full of good results to the United States.
In the first place, said one Of these officials,
it has aroused the states to realization
of the fact that treaty rights of foreigners
| must be respected, and that they must be
accorded the fullest protection in their per-
sons and property, il 1t Is desired that the
national government shall not intervene in
their behalf.
From another official, high in the councils
of the administration came the sugges-
ton that the possibilities of the situation
impressed the authorities as never before
and that the ultimate effect will be the
granting of more ships by Congress than
otherwise would have been the case.
A curious feature of the question is the
fact that the treaty with the Chinese en-
pre- whose subjects, except in certain
cases, are barred from the territory of the
United States. contains the most favored
nation clause, and that although the Cali
fornia statutes prohibit Indians, Chinese
and people of Monaghan descent from en-
tering the white public schools, neverthe-
less China could insist on her treaty rights
and demand that Chinese children be al
lowed to do so and not be required to go to
separate institutions. In that respect the
the Japanese rely for the support of their
contention for equal school privileges upon
the first article of their own treaty, which
simply confers upon them the rights of
travel and residence equal to those enjoyed
by citizens of the United States or any
other nation.

TESTS WITH THE TURBINE.
Important Problems Affecting Marine
Propulsion.

The most important engineering problem
of the present day affecting marine pro-
pulson, in the opinion of Rear Admiral
c. w. Rae, chief of the bureau of steam
engineering, whose annual report was made
public today, is that of the steam turbine.
involving as it does such radical change.
Admiral Rae says the bureau has pursued
conservative course with regard to 1t,
preferring to wait before adopting it ex-
tensively until it had been demonstrated as
unquestonably the best system of pro-
pulsion for naval purposes.
"At the same time he says, tests and
experiments have been made whenever
the opportunity offered, and extensive in
ried on 1t is expected that when the
three scout cruisers now building, two
with turbines and one with reciprocating
engines, are completed and their trials
have been held, comparative data of the
utmost value will be obtained. An officer
of the bureau is now abroad making a
thorough investigation of marine turbine
installations already in operation and in
contemplation. and in addition the work of
erecting at Annapolis Md, experimental
turbine engines, condensers, pumps, etc,
is proceeding. In addition to affording
considerable valuable data for the use of
the bureau, Admiral Rae says the opera
ton of the turbines will afford useful
practical instruction to midshipmen and
mechanics prior to the detail of the latter
to ships fitted with such machinery.
Among the important recommendations
for the various navy yards and stations are
the following: New York navy yard, a new
copper shop and building for the storage
of completed machinery; League Island navy
yard, a new building for the storage of
machinery, etc, and an administration
building; Charleston navy yard, new pat
tern shop and an administration building;
naval station, Key West, a foundry; PEN
sacola navy yard a machine shop and an
administration building: naval station,
Guantanamo, a combined boiler and black
smith shop; Mare Island navy yard. new
shops and an increase in the clerical force:
naval station, Cavite. P. l., a pattern shop
and an extension of the present foundry.

PATENTS FOR PUBLIC LANDS.
Secretary Hitchcock's Order to Pre-
vent More Frauds

Acting under order of President
Roosevelt. Secretary Hitchcock has directed
the general land office not to issue any
more patents for pubic lands until each
case has been carefully examined by a
special officer of the Interior Department.
This move was taken, it is stated, in order
to put stop to the alleged land frauds
that have been perpetrated in the western
states and territories recently and which
are at present the subject of prosecutions
by government attorneys
The reports of irregularities in the ad-
ministration of the land Office business,
which have caused Secretary Hitchcock to
institute an investigation of affairs there
and to call for a statement from Com
missioner Richards. are the immedia tie
cause. it is said. for this action on the
part of the President. If anything is going
wrong, 1t is desired to put a stop to it at
once and to ferret out if possible the seat
of the trouble

JEFFERSON VS.. ROOT
HILARY HERBERT ON RACE Is
SUE AND CAPITALIZATION.

NEW YORK, December PA stranger
who got into the Pompeiian room at the
Hotel Astor last evening remarked before
he found the way out again that 1t was
easy to understand the origin and frequent
use of the well-worn- phrase gallant south
ern gentleman" And he had only one
look at that. 1t was the first annual din
ner of the Alabama Society of New York.
and more than half of the 1JO persons pres
ent were women. Seth Low observed when
called to make few brief remarks"
that when he was in Alabama it seemed to
him that they retained all their beautiful
women down there, but now he was in
clined to think that they sent them all
north. The eyes had it.
Next to the Alabama women and Hilary
A. Herbert ex-Secretary of the Navy, the
band was the feature of the evening. 1t
exercised a surprising self-restraint. 1t
never played Dixie until the coffee came.
Alabama!
Mr.. Herbert at the beginning of his adj
dress aroused the mirth of the frivolous
somewhat unintentionally by describing the
arrival in Alabama of a tabled Indian tribe
from the frozen north whose chief. worn
and weary from many months of hardships
and travel, stuck his spear into the earth
and exclaimed: Alabama! Here we rest!"
The ex-Secretary of the Navy devoted
part of his remarks to discussing the action
Of the President in the dismissal of the
negro troops concerned in the Brownsville
outrage and his commentator of the res
ident's course elected the heartiest applause
of the evening
Differs With Root.
Mr.. Herbert took fling at the recent
speech in which Secretary Root discussed
the question of the rights of individual
states, saying:
What difference between the teachings
of Jefferson and the announcements of
Secretary Root in this city recently. when
the titular chief of the present cabinet
made an announcement which appears to
mean that the Constitution ought to be con-
strued SO to allow the federal govern
ment to do anything and everything that
state government ought to do and fails
to do. Under this convenient doctrine il
any one of our states should fail to pro-
vide for a proper admiXture of colors in its
free schools the federal government might
put in It's big stick and stir the pot to the
queens taste; or if in any of our western
states the voters should insist that there
was connection between personal liberty
and the right to drink beer, Uncle Sam
might step in with an order from Congress
and compel our German fellow-citizens to
go dry"

PLANS FOR A FOUNDRY
PROPOSITION BEFORE JoBBERs
AND SHIPPERS ASSOCIATION.

A matter that is said to mean much to
the business interests of the District in
general and Southeast Washington in par
ticular has been presented to Mr.. Wood
worth Clum secretary of the board OF d.
rectors of the Jobbers and Shippers Asso-
citation. He said he will place it before the
board at it's next meeting with request
for favorable action. The matter in dues-
ton is the erection in the Washington navy
yard of a new and modern foundry which
would mean the employment of about 800
additional skilled workmen at nearly 81 per
day each. it was explained. The installation
of such a foundry has been recommended
in a special report by Rear Admiral Mason.
chief of the bureau of ordnance of the
Navy Department
The admiral says that the losses to the
government every year owing to the pres
ent lack of foundry facilities would in a
short time equal the amount necessary to
install the proposed foundry, and that its
increased product would materially add to
the production of armament by the naval
gun factory at the local yard"
The matter has also been taken up by
the organized workingmen of the District,
1t is said and with the cooperation of the
Jobbers and Shippers Association 1t is be-
ieved Congress can be induced to see the
expediency of making the appropriation
for the purpose. 1t is pointed out by East
Washington merchants that many of the
small dwelling houses in that section of
the city that are now vacant would find
thrifty tenants should the foundry be
erected.
Amount Of Money Necessary.
Admiral Mason says the amount neces-
sary to erect and install the proposed
foundry would be about 100000.
Mr.. Thomas w. Smith, chairman of the
committee on the Washington commercial
exhibit at the jamestown exposition of
the Jobbers and Shippers Association,
started for Norfolk last evening, carrying
with him the signed application for ali
the space in section II. which comprises
approximately 27,0O0 feet. This section is
said to be one of the choicest in the manu-
facturers' building. being nearest the main
entrance and partially surrounding the
artistic interior court. Mr.. Clum, secre-
tary of the committee. expects to receive
a telegram this evening from Mr.. Smith
informing him that the compact with the
jamestown company has been entered into
and the preliminary work as to the COM
mercial exhibit concluded.
The bill making an appropriation for a
municipal exhibit at jamestown. witch
has passed the Senate, is now before the
House committee on the District of Co
lumbia, and will not be given further con-
sderation until after the Christmas holi-
days, it was stated this afternoon at the
Capitol.

DISMISSED THE SERVICE.
Life-savers Charged With Neglect of
Duty

Secretary Shaw has announced the dis
missal of Keeper Chauncey D. Pool and
Surfman Jacob o. Johnson from the life
saving service, after reviewing the reports
of Inspector Ballinger of the twelfth dis
trict of his Investigations of the drowning
of four men in the harbor of Holland,
Mich, November q. The Secretary sus-
pended action with reference to the rest of
the life-saving crew, whose efforts to save
the drowning men were unsuccessful. The
conclusion is reached that, although it APP
pears quite probable the men could not
have been saved, the failure of the crew
to make repeated attempts to rescue the
drowning men is regarded as "unpardon-
able
