1.-THE day has gone by when tho people

making a hard bargain he will keep 1t.
He does not quarrel with outsiders. His

cluslvely in his own highbinder scraps,
which concern the whites not at all.

this coast, is often a trlckster. quarrel

ity which are current here should be taken
with a pinch Of salt, but there is no doubt
that the Jap in an American community
is far from being the quaint, clearly,
honest. smiling little fellow he is pictured
to be at home. There is enough of the
Malay in him to keep him at cross pur-
poses with the white man at all times.

The significance OF the action Of the San

are not called upon to srapple with the in
nux OF Oriental immigrants that affiict
cities on the Pacific coast. In San Fran
cisco the policy of the school board. It is
explained. is not exclusion. but segrega-
ton. Separate schools are to be provided
for japanese children. The reasons prompt
ing this policy are explained by Ira p Ben
nett, San Francisco correspondent. in
letter to eastern papers.
Mr. Bennett says the agitation against
the Japanese Is becoming more general and
intense. San Francisco IS its center. While
labor unions are the strongest opponents
Of the Japs, the agitation Is by no means
confined to organized labor THE chief

schools here in great numbers. crowding
out white children In some cases. Parents
object to the association Of haif-growh or
even fully grown Orientals with their
children and cases are cited with more or
less evidence to prove that vicious habits
have been acquired by American youth
through this contact
1.-THE young japanese who are using the
American schools as a means Of acquiring
English maintain themselves by waiting on
table, scullery work. and as Wallets. etc
Few Of them are able at first to do any,
work which comes into direct competition
with American labor The rough laborer,
the railroad digger, is another kind OF Jap.
and there are some of these on this coast,
but they are not numerous. Gangs of them
are employed in Washington. Oregon,
Idaho, Utah and Nevada. but the Jap who
comes to California is a different sort He

exactly what he wants and how to get il

Japanese immigration did not become a
serious matter until about the time of the
Spanish war. Japanese laborers were Inn
ported into Hawaii, but they did not come
TO this coast in large numbers. At FIRST
the Hawaiian sugar planters were delighted
with the little brown men. They thought
they were ideal laborers, until the camps
became little bells on earth with conti-
mental squabbles AS the Japs increased
In number they became insolent and made
life unbearable for the Portuguese and
other laborers. Now the Hawaiians are
anxious to get rid OF the Japs, who are
pouring in and making themselves exceed
inRly offensive. Since the 'Russo-Japanese
war the little men are very concelted. II
is no uncommon thing In Hawaii, and even
in California, to hear Jap boast that the
Americans dare not exclude him. He Is
sure his country could whip the United
States or any other country.
"The immigration reports show that over
II 900 Japanese entered the United States
In 1896, and the number arriving In 1906
will greatly exceed that figure. More than
half Of the Japs came under the flag at
Hawaii AS no account is kept OF passen-
gers arriving from Hawaii, II Is impossible
to tell what proportion Of the $500 Japanese
arriving at Hawaii last year continued
their journey TO California. The number
was very large. This year the japanese
entries by way Of Hawaii have been larger
than ever before. Every steamer from the
islands brings its contingent Of the brown
men, sometimes several hundred at time.

OF the people of the coast II the immigra-

the feeling is most intense IN those labor
ing people who are themselves recently
from foreign lands.
Many OF the leading citizens Of this
coast believe that the time has nearly ar
rived when the japanese must be excluded,
and for the same reason. They believe tho
the japanese are evading the contract
labor laws In many cases. And even II the
contract laws are strictly enforced. they
believe the japanese will continue to come,
under the system OF assistance. The jap.
like the Chinaman. will work for wages

PETITIONS BOARD
To CUT GRADE.

The Market-street and Eureka VAL
ley Improvement Club yesterday Pc
titioned the Board of Supervisors to
order the grade of Market street, from
Fifteenth to Waller, to be changed as
follows: Commencing at Fifteenth
street at the point at which the center
of Market street Is lis feet above base
and running thence on a uniform grade
to Waller street, a distance of about
5000 feet, thus establishing the grade
at Market and Church streets at 100
feet, Market and Dolores streets at
S0h feet and Market and Guerrero
streets at s4k feet The petition
says:
This proposed change of grade
would affect the intersecting streets
for one block only with the exception
of Hermann street, which, being at
present impossible. may be properly
omitted from consideration. The
change would be OF immense benefit.
as 1T would make Market Guerrero and
Dolores streets practically level and
adapted for business purposes"
The petition was referred to the
street committee. Similar action was
taken on the petition of the Nc
Donald Lumber Company for permis-
sion to lay spur track on King street
near Third.
The communication from the Fire
Department calling attention to the
fact that the horseshoeing shop now
occupied by Edward Graney and To-
Gated on the Public Library site on Van
Ness avenue is the property of the
department named was referred to the
finance committee. Graney is paying
SIS per month ground rental to the city
and must vacate on twenty-four hours
notice by the Board of Supervisors.
The request of the Board OF Works
that the sum of s14.700 be set aside to
meet the increase OF wages of skilled
laborers employed by that department
was referred to the finance committee
The board temporarily disposed of
the petition to remove the hump on
Golden Gate avenue, between Taylor
and Hyde streets, by adopting a reso-
luton instructing tho City Engineer to
prepare a uniform reduction In the
grade so as not to damage surround
ing property.

Supervisors Again Ask
for Franchises of the
Union Street Road
OBJECT TO DELAY

Unless the franchises OF the Union
street road are submitted by the off,
cials of the company to the Super
visors' judiciary committee this morn
ing the City Attorney will be called
upon to determine if the franchises
should be declared forfeited.
A committee from the North Beach
Improvement Club appeared at yester-
days meeting of the Board of Super
visors TO urge that a permit be issued
Tor the operation of the Union-str
read by electric power. Baldwin said
that the district is sadly in need of
transportation facilities
Supervisor Gallagher replied that the
responsibility for the delay in the re-
construction Of the road lies with the
Presfdio and Ferries Company, which
had been requested by the board to
submit a copy of its franchises and
had failed to do so.
1.-THE board will brook no more de-
lay" said Gallagher. IF the company
persists in it's course a suit may be
brought to determine the legality of
and the period for which the franchises
were granted, or the board may adopt
a resolution declaring the franchises
forfeited"
supervisor Rea, with some spirit, said
the company should be allowed to cleo
trize its road, as he was satisfied that
its franchises are legal Rea submit
ted a petition with 200 signatures urg-
ing that the road be allowed to run.
Supervisor Wilson moved that the
company be given until 10 o'clock this
morning to submit it's franchises to
the judiciary committee, and in default
thereof that steps be taken for the
reads operation by the city in connec-
tiop with the Geary-street road.
Gallagher held that the company's S
failure to start it's road warranted the
board in declaring the franchises for
