OEV[|N SUMMONED
To WASHINGTON

United States District Attorney Dev-
lin has been summoned to Washington
by Attorney General Bonaparte in ref
erence to the Japanese school segrega-
tion question, and will perfect arrange
ments there for bringing the case in
which Keikeichi Aoh is named as
plaintiff before the Supreme Court of
California. This case is being instf-
tuted to test the segregation of all the
Japanese attending the public schools
in San Francisco, and an effort will be
made by Devlin, acting in behalf of
Bonaparte, to have the matter settled
in California court so as to avoid a
clash over the supremacy of State
rights in the supervision of schools
President Roosevelt Secretary of the
Navy Metcalf and other members of the
administration are known to be op-
posed TO the introduction of this uues-
tion in the dispute, despite the recent
utterances in the executive message to
Congress on the expediency of regard
Ing the covenants of international
treaties as the supreme laws of the
land.
Devlin will probably appeal the case
to the Federal courts in the event of a
decision upholding the action of the
Board of Education in passing the res
olutions providing for the segregation.
but he will exhaust every resource to
have a State tribunal settle the matter
before doing so.

BAD CHECK PASSER
MAY Be INSANE

Harry Yeaman. guest at the Ma
Jestic Hotel, was arrested yesterday by
Detectives Reynolds and Free1 on a
charge of cashing a fictitious check for
$50 with the hotel management The
mental condition of the prisoner was
such after his arrest that he was taken
to the Central Emergency Hospital
where he will be held pending an in
vestigation of his sanity.
When the detectives arrived at the
hotel Yeaman had Darricaded himself
in his room and was defying imaginary
beings. 1t took ten minutes persua-
sion on the part of the peace officers to
induce him to open the door. He was
docile, however, on being told that he
was under arrest.
Yeaman had been drinking for sew
eral days He cashed a check at the
hotel on the John S. Cook banking es-
tablishment at Tonopah, New. A tele-
phone inquiry to that place revealed
the fact that Yeaman had no money on
deposit there.

CENTRAL SECTION
ASKS FAIR PLAY
Manager Calvin's Decision
in Spur Track Privileges
Causes Some Discussion
SOUTH UP IN ARMS

The knowledge of the Importance of
San Francisco that E. E. Calvin, vice
president and general manager of the
Southern Pacific, has shown in per-
mitting spur track privileges in the
southern part of the city is bringing
more trouble to the company than was
foreseen. After making his offer to
the Chamber of Commerce. Calvin
headed Jere Burke posthaste to inform
the Board of Supervisors of the COM
panys determination to grant the con-
cession, hoping to thus avoid open con-
test with the Santa Fe and Western Pa
cidc. When Calvin did this he gave no
thoughts to other parts Of the State,
as he felt it his duty to protect the
company's larger interests here.
But other sections of the State that
have long been under the domination
of the Southern Pacific became angry
when Calvin's intentions We're made
public and representatives of Bakers
field, Visalia and Porterville opened a
discussion involving the question as to
why it was that they could not secure
concessions in favor of other roads
when the Southern Pacific was willing
to do SO much for it's competitors in
San Francisco.
Representatives Mcdonnell and Hart
land of the Porterville Orange Ex-
change were the first to come to San
Francisco to look into this question.
They purpose interviewing the South
ern Pacific general manager and they
will be followed by others. 1t is their
hope to break the railroad monopoly
that has SO long worried them and
they purpose to see why it is that they
cannot be favored with spur track
privileges.

JUDGE FINDS FOR
STANDARD OIL
Ohio Court Says Technical
Error Was Committed in
Filing the Information.
INDICTMENTS STAND

FINDLAY, O.. Dec. 24.-Judge Dun
can of the Common Pleas Court decided
today that the information fled in the
Probate Court against the Standard
OIL Company on the charge of violating
the Valentine antitrust law was illegal
and that the case should have been filed
in the Common Pleas Court
Judge Duncan upholds the contention
Of the Standard Oil attorneys that the
Probate Court has no jurisdiction in
the matter and that if there had been
a violation of the law the prosecutor
should have proceeded against the COM
pany through indictments.
The verdict returned in the Probate
Court against the Standard-viz, guilty
of violating State antitrust laws-is
therefore annulled, but todays decision
affects in no way the indictments re-
turned recently in the Common Pleas
Court by. the Grand Jury against John
D. Rockefeller and other officials of the
Standard Oil Company charging them
with violating the antitrust laws.
