of San Francisco.
Washington Dec 6-The Calif0r

ceived what they consider satisfac-
tory assurance that he president did
not desire to be understood as say
ing in t1e japanese section Of his
message that he would use military
force OF the United States in forcing
japanese into the California schools,
in which white children are taught.
1t is said to have been his purpose
to convey the idea that he would use
the military to protect Japanese
against mob violence. Californians
take no offense at this Interpretation
of the message and agree that the
chief executive should do all in his
power to protect Japanese as well as
all other foreigners against violence.
Inquiry today disclosed the fact
that the legal proceedings TO be TAX
en- in San Francisco by the United
States district attorney in the matter
of admission of Japanese to the pub
lie schools of tha city without dis
criminaion, were inspired by Secre-
tary Root, who expressed the opinion
that it would be one way OF erect
lively disposing of the controversy
That the presidents views on the
subject meet with the hearty approval
of the Japanese government was MADE
evident today when Viscount Aokl'
the Japanese ambassador, said that ne
had personally thanked the president
for what he had said.
A rumor that a new treaty between
the United States and Japan was TO
be negotiated, designed to remedy
any defects in the one now IN force
was set at rest today when both Wis
count Aoki and Secretary Root, un-
eouiyocally denied that such a thing
even was in the proposition.

he was fearful that suc:l state OF

we have in L. I. Parrot one of the

SMALLPOX At RERIOTS.

do their trading, ana there is dange
OF bringing the germs OF smallpox
their clothing.
Whenever smallpox prevails neg
;e:.y city OF town it is safer for all c..
tizens Of that town or city to be sue
cessfully vaccinated. While there IS
very little danger of a serious out
break Of smallpox in Sumter owing to
the fact that nearly OF our citizens are
successfully vaccinated. nevertheless
there is always certain percentage
if people who escaped successful vac
cination, and there are also numbers
of new corners who have never been
vaccinate6. Sumter has escaped hav-
ing smallpox during the past winter
while surrounding towns have had
quite a number Of cases. But the dis
ease is now getting closer and closer
to Sumter. and successful, vaccination
of every citizen will keep it out Of
Sumter entirely
