Says Metcalf Upholds
the School Authorities
Director Oliver Corrects
Prevailing Impression

School Director David H. Oliver
stated yesterday that Secretary Metcalf
before his departure for Washington,
told the School Directors that he be-
l4eved they we're clearly within their
rights in establishing separate school
TOT japanese pupils. This would tend
to correct the impression that Score
tary Metcalf had decided to favor tho
Japanese in his report to the President.
The Secretary's report, 1t may be as
sumed, will conform to his assure ncee
to the School Board
Attorneys versed in international law
believe that the treaty between japan
and America in no way covers the
points at issue and the best that the
united states can do for the island en-
pre- is to institute a test case In the
Federal courts, as has already been
done. Such a case, 1t is asserted. can
be decided only in favor OF the local
authorities.
Since the question has attracted
worldwide attention the meeting ar
ranged for this morning between the
school Directors and American Consul
Henry B. Miller OF Yokohama will he
of special interest. Miller is IN Calf
fornia on leave from his post in Japan.
That the matter will be taken to the
Supreme Court for final decision Is now
quite evident, and il II is decided there
that the Japanese are not Mongolians. a
contention that has been made to d.
vert the enforcement of the law re-
curing that race to be kept in schools
separate from white children, ii is quite
certain that the State Legislature at It's
next session will pass a new law 10

can be learned, the attitude of President
Roosevelt is to let the law take its
course.

rector Oliver. land the President should
realize that fact. 1 believe our law is
right and that ii should be enforced.
II the President wants to become I'M
popular he can easily do so by endeav-
oring to force the Japanese into schools
with American children"
In an interview yesterday afternoon
Director La f. Walsh expressed senti-
nents similar to those OF Mr.. oliver
lie no. only faVors the enforcement of
the law keeping the Japanese in sepa-
rate schools. but he is also a strong be-
lever in the principles of that kind of
legislation.
This is a matter that affects the
future as well as the present. said
Mr.. Walsh. TO force the white chill
dren TO mingle with the Japanese in
the schools will give rise to continual
disturbances, for they can never asso-
ciate agreeably in that way. If the
matter is decided in favor of the Jap
anese, 1t will be settled only tenn

asky in the point at dispute.
The Belvedere matter is another one
that promises to develop into SEN
sation. E. b. Williamson will be among
the star witnesses called before the
jury in connection with this matter,
and. if stories current along Fillmore
street are true, he has information in
his possession that will make the in
dictment of Eddie Graney certain.
Graney is the man to whom Nathan
son is alleged to have paid over the
dividends on stock that went to Ruef
for protection. and is said to be quite
willing to explain all he knows about
this and other matters connected with
the resort.
The city printing and stationery
CRAFTS will also be probed by the jury
this week. That both were CRAFTS, rep
resenting thousand of dollars to the
men concerned in them, is generally ad :
mitted, and several indictments may
be predicted If the evidence said to be
in possession of Burns is to be relied
upon.

hunting from a boat in San Leandro
Bay near Seal Creek Point. this morn
ing, 16-year-old Charles Z. Sisenvine
Of 1S7 Belvedere street, San Francisco,
accidentally shot himself in the neck
and died instantly. The report of the
gun was heard by William Mccarthy OF
2s31 Twenty-third street and Frank Je-
rome Of 1868 Twenty-second street, San
Francisco, who were hunting ia a boat
drifting about 200 yards from Sisenvine
They noticed the young hunter fall i'm
mediately after the discharge of the
gun, and at once roweo 20 the
scene. Sisenvine had fallen overheard
and was dead in a foot of water close

water. and was in a position that indi-
Gated that IL had been dragged from
the boat muzzle first The gun was not
a hammerless, and il is supposed that

and the gun was discharged. The load
OF shot took effect in the right side of
the boys neck and almost severed the
head from the body.
Sisenvine came here early this morn
ing from his home in San Francisco

Fate OF the Chief
Hangs in the
Balance
Police Board Is to
Take Up Case
of Oman

The suspension of Chief of Police
jeremiah Oman, pending the outcome
OF trial on charges of perjury and con-
spiracy, is now being discussed by the
Police Commissioners.
The Commissioners are not inclined
to act hastily in the matter, and are
willing that every concession be shown
to Oman that can be rightfully shown.
Sentiment in the board is unanimous
on this phase of the matter, but on
others it is divided. The line of cleav-
age lies between Commissioners Umb-
sen and Creswell on one hand, and on
Commissioners Leahy, Haggerty and
Mayor Schmitz on the other. The at
titude of the latter as allies of Ruef
is in every way favorable to Oman. and
it is a question IL they will attempt
to interfere with him ultimately in any
way.
Oman. under the charter. is entitled
to a hearing before he can be removed
from office. This hearing will be I'M
doubtedly given him, but just what
may develop from 1t is conjecturtl.
The general opinion is that an e tort
will be made by Ruef to keep Dinan at
the head of the department and turn
Tic lib lAtOt d SOTI VI ICIli-
porary withdrawing
Ruef reasons that now that Dinan
is in the same boat as himself that
his usefulness as an agent will be
enhanced Il for no other reason than
the obvious one of self-preservation.
The head of the Police Department oc-
cupies a position that can be made pc
culiarly effective in the defense of
Ruef, Schmitz and other Indicted city
officials. This was demonstrated not
long ago. when the witness, Albert An
drieu, was. seen by agents of the adj
ministration just as soon as he left the
Grand Jury room and advised that he
would be driven from town if he per-
sisted in 'squealing." These intimidat-
ors of witnesses are all member6 of the
Police Department. Special Agent
Burns has a list OF them and detailed
Information as to their tactics of at
tempted repression.
The fact remains. nevertheless that
they are a constant source of trouble
to the graft prosecutors and cannot
easily be curbed.
Ruef is aware of all these facts and
desires Oman to remain Chief of Police
in fact. He will have the support OF
Leahy. Haggerty and Schmitz IL the
will undoubtedly escape suspension.
Commissioners Creswell and Jmbsen
are not agitating the speedy suspension
of Oman, but believed that the hear
ing he is entitled to should be a
hearing in fact and that if he is un-
able to disprove the facts charged
against him in the two Indictments
that he should be suspended pending
his trial

Rev. William E.Graffis
Is Looking for Riots
Fears japanese Will Be
Killed in This City.

ITHACA, N. Y, Dec. 2.--"Let Amer
lea beware how she settles this prob
lem of excluding Japanese children
from the San Francisco public schools
or the Japanese from America, said
Rev. William Eliot CRAFTS of this city
tonight. DR.. GRAMS has been a stu
dent OF the state of public opinion in
Japan for the last forty years and is
said to be well informed on that sub
ject.
Remember the Japanese are as
proud as Lucifer and as conceited as
we are ourselves" continued DIR. Gratis
"A league in California, formed for the
exclusion of the Japanese and Koreans,
has been the real cause Of the trouble
The matter did not become acute till
after the fire In San Francisco, since
which time the Japanese, who work
for cheaper wages and are more stead
fast and Industrious than most white
iaborers, have bought property In the
better part of the devastated city which
is arousing the wrath of the agitators
l am afraid that this Question Will
finally lead to riots. In which some
Japanese will be Killed. Then their

out afresh at intervals.
The National Government con-
tributes nothing to the education OF
children. That is done by the States
separately, and they have a right to
make laws governing the use of this
money. Thus we have laws to prevent
Indians, Mongolians and other races
from attending school with white PEG.
pie.
so far as the Board of Education Is
concerned. it has no alternative in the
matter. The State contributes the
money and directs us regarding it's use.
1t prohibits us from putting white chill
dren with those Of other races, and we
must do as directed
Since the question of keeping the
Japanese out of the schools with white
children has been agitated, various
legal authorities have given informal
opinions on the matter. Many law
yers who have made a study of inter-
national treaties are OF the opinion
that the treaty between Japan and the
United States does not have any bear
ing on the school question. 1t is their
opinion that the treaty simply gives
the Japanese equal rights with Amer
leans in a legal sense and not socially
nor in any way connected with educa-
tional work. They believe that the
higher courts of the land will interpret
the matter in the same way.
Members of the Board Of Education
are ignorant OF the arguments that will
be presented before them this morning
by Consul General Miller. He simply
asked for permission to meet the board
for the purpose of talking the subject
over with it and he has given out
no personal sentiments on the matter
The meeting OF the Consul General
and the members of the Board of Edu-
cation will take place at Pine and Lar
kin streets, in the rooms of the Board
of Education at $40 this morning, and
be present.

Supervisors Desert the
Weekly Caucus

Indicted Boss Ruef and his Board of
Supervisors held their regular Sunday
night secret meeting in Hamilton Hall
last night and discussed plans of de-
Tense. Mayor Schmitz was not pres
ent, but he was represented in the
meeting by George Keane. secretary
Of the Board Of Supervisors.
Some OF the members became dissat-
ished with the meeting early in the
evening, and one by one they departed.
At one time those on the inside evil
IDENTIFY became suspicious and con-
clUded that some one was evesdropping,
for Supervisor Phillips was sent out
to investigate. He bumped into re-
porter in the hallway, and being sat
isfed that the representative of the
press could not hear what was going
on, he returned to his fellows.
One of the last to leave the meet
ing before il adjourned was Supervisor
McGUshin. When asked what was be-
ing done inside. he declined TO say.
but he stated that Schmitz was not
present, although he acknowledged
that Ruef was in the conference.

Indictments Rob Ruef of State Patronage
Indicted Scheme
to ObStruCt the
Proceedings

ng the forthcoming tactics OF the
snen indicted. Not only viii the charge
of intimidating witnesses be made, but
an effort viii likewise be projected TO
summon grand jurors as witnesses TO
testify al the hearing OF Ruet and
Scbmitz.
BY summoning these jurors the Ruef-
Schmitz forces hope to effect one OF
their most telling coups against the
graft investig gators. They expect by
this means TO constantly delay the
progress Of the inquiry and to fuster
Heney to an extent that will greatly
impair his efficiency as a hunter of
corruptiOnists.
Neither Heney nor Burns was in
clined to discuss the plans Of the graft
ers when questioned concerning them
last night.
The charge that witnesses have been
threatened and that their testimony has
been secured under duress can be easily
disposed OF when the time comes said
Burns. Further than this I don't care
TO say anything"

FIREMAN CHARGED
WITH ARSON

MARYSVILLE, DEC. 2.--Charles b.
gard. member of the Marysville Fire
Department. was arrested by Policeman
MCCOY today and charged with arson.
He Is credited with having set at least
nine small fires, none Of which did any
great damage, and is believed by many
to have started the fire that destroyed
Turner Hall and another building last
summer
Bogard had been under suspicion
some time, but not until this morning,
when he was caught in the act of set
ting FIRE to partly burned residence
on W street, was the evidence Sufficient
to cause his arrest. He was seen by a
woman to start a, fire and then te1e-
phone the Fire Department to send the
chemical engine.
One night last week two fires were
started in the same building and alarms
were promptly turned. in no damage
resulting either time.
All the fires credited to him have
been in closely built blocks, but alarms
have always been prompt even though
the fires were started at all times OF
the night
Bogard ranks as hoseman In the
Fire Department. He is being sweated
and probably will confess.

jurcd ut Market md vap No..

ii. j. Belcher, who is thought to be a
real estate dealer of Redding, was
probably fatally injured on Market

east bound car.
Ihe car struck him while going at a
swift speed and hurled him to the
ground. He was picked up by Police
man II. T. McGrath and removed to the
Central Emergency Hospital in an ex-
press wagon. which McGrath impressed
into service.
At the hospital 1t was discovered that
beicher was suffering from a fractured
Skull and that his condition was seri-
Gus. The man remained unconscious

tity was established through papers

Dives and the Stationery Scandals Are to Be
Taken Up by the Grand Jury
Busy Week Ahead for Men Conducting Local Graft Investigation

Heney is not yet done with his In
yestigation of the municipal horse
shoeing contracts. This Is another
matter on which the testimony OF
Graney viii be sought, and the little
blacksmith will be in the spotlight OF
the jurys doings for the bigger part
of the week.
That the jury viii go into the graft
in connection with trolley, telephone
and other big, corporation franchises
this week is not probable. Heney Will
eventually sift, all of the matters, but
the tangible things he has to work on
this week preclude the likelihood of
the introduction of the former to the
Grand Jury for some days to come.
The City Auditors office stunds a
chance of figuring in the proceedings
this week. Douglas Young. expert ac-
coutnant, in the employ of Heney and
Burns, has. been, going over the books
Of this and other municipal offices re-
