The courtroom was almost stormed
today by a crowd of men eager to hear
the evidence. A special detail of po-
lice was necessary to control the
throng.

two hours the attorneys argued regard

him. The court finally ruled against
the state and Young was excused.

JAP CASE IN THE SENATE
senator Rayner, with Resolution, Opens
Discussion in Upper House.

Discussion in Upper House.
Journal Special servioe.
Washington, Dec. 5.-The doctrine
of states' rights as involved in the
Japanese school question, taken in con.
nectlon with the president IS observa.
tlons on this subject in his annual mes
sage 60 congress, was brought before
me senate yesterday and will form the
pasls OF discussion during the next
few days.
The suggestion of the president that
Inc civil and military power of the
government should be exercised in
cases similar to that which has arisen
IN San Francisco, aroused some of the
southern senators. Mr.. Rayner OF
Maryland was among this number. He
prepared resolution, which he offered
immediately after the reading of the
message. The resolution follows:
Wants State Backed Up.
Resolved, That in the opinion of the
senate this government has no right to
enter into any controversy with any for
elgn government relating to the public
school system Of any Of the states in the
union.
Resolved further, That it is the opin-
ion of the senate that there is no pro-
vision In the treaty between the United
States and the government of Japan that
relaCes In any manner to this subject or
IN any way interferes with the right of
the state of California to conduct and ad-
minister its system of public schools in
accordance with its own legislation; and
Resolved further That it is the duty
OF the president Of the United States to
notlfy the government Of Japan and to
notify any foreign government with
winch the question may arise that the
public educational institutions of the
state are not within the jurisdiction of
the United States, and that the United
States has no power to regulate or SUI
pervise their administration.
MIR. Rayner regards this feature of
the president s message as the most in.
defensible recommendation Mr., Roose
welt has yet made
b \ Misinformed, They Think.
Among the senators generally the
president IS chapter on the ;Japanese
suit of si1iforms&ion. The leading
lawyers OF the senate agree with the
president that treaty is the supreme
law of the land and must be recog-
nlzed as such by each state. There is
ultterence of opinion among them as
to whether the treaty between the
United States and Japan permits Jap.
anese children to attend any public
school they may select. A majority
contend that no such provision is con
tanned in the treaty and that it has not
been Violated by the action of the San
Francisco authorities.
Senator Perkins of California took
a conservative view of the PRESIDENT Is
suggestions and said: IT agree with
the sentiment expressed by the presi:
dent as an abstract proposition, Just
as any patritotic citizen would, but !
ton to the school trouble in San Fran
cisco. We have violated no treaty. The
action in the school trouble was no
more a violation of treaty than the
order for the vaccination of all the
pupils in the San Francisco schools.''

Washington, Dec. 5:-Congressman
Butler Ames of Massachusetts has be-
gun a propaganda for an Immediate
movement in the interest of tariff re-
vision. He says he is not undertaking
to secure action at the present session
Of congress, but is urging upon repub-

preston of their determination to i'm
mediate revision Of the inequalities
present in our tariff laws, so that all
possible notice to the country at large
may be given as to the time of revi-
sion.'

taken up Immediately after March 4,
and would have the caucus determine
the best method Of procedure, and
whether the whole tariff laws Should
be revised or only particular schedules
amended. y - ~
