JAPANESE BARRED
FROM SCHOOLS.

President Altman of the Board OF
Education announces that all of the
Japanese children attending the schools
have finally been elected from the
buildings where white children We're
in attendance. Under the State law
Orientals are not allowed TO attend
schools where white children are
taught.
Since the April disaster the japanese
have attended the primary and gram
mar schools in large numbers, crowd
ing out the American pupils Several
weeks ago the Board of Education de-
cided that the Japanese must go, and
to this end issued the necessary orders
The Japanese clung on tenaciously and
did not leave promptly. They were
segregated, however, one by one, until
at the present there are none in at
tendance.
Provision for the disbarred children
has been made. however. and they will
be taught the elements of the English
language without charge Both Chi
nese and Japanese children have a
school of their own, Slaintained by the
State. White children are excluded
from attendance In reference to the
exclusion of the Japanese school chill
dren. President Altman said:
The board is merely carrying out
the State law. 1t provides that Asiat-
les and white children shall not at
tend the same schools. The japanese
protested vigorously and were not in
clined to obey the order of the board.
When they ascertained that we were In
earnest, however. the order was
obeyed."

NORTH BEACH ALSO
To Be CLEANED.
Acting Mayor viii Support
Debris Removing Crusade
Inaugurated by Duffey
GOOD WORK GOES ON

In further outlining plans for clean
ing the city streets, so well inaueu.
rated by Works Commissioner Duffey.
Acting Mayor Gallagher said yesterday
that the streets in the residence section
Of North Beach. especially Montgomery
avenue, will receive the attention of
the Board of Public Works when the
business thoroughfares have been
cleaned of debris. This is for the pur-
pose of facilitating the extensive
building operations that are being con-
Quoted in that LOCALITY. The acting
Mayor said:
North Beach Is improving very rap
idly. I believe there is more building
OF homes in that section than in any
time. If the streets are cleaned now it
will permit the buildings to 90 ahead
more readily, and the rains Of winter
will not cause SO much trouble
In addition to improving the Police
Department I will largely confine my
efforts during the time ] am acting
Mayor to the cleaning and lighting Of
the city. There are many other things
that should receive attention, but It
will not do TO divide our forces so
much that nothing will be done well.
That is just the trouble with the Unit
ed Railroads. 1t begins too many i'm
provements at once, and now we have
streets torn up all over the city as a
result of its not Icing able TO get the
WOTk NnlSRSQ-
In connection with the street work
there is another thing that I will in
sist on, and that is the repairing of the
streets by the San Francisco Gas and
Coke Company and similar CONCERNS
where they have been laying their
pipes It has become a habit with
them to dig up the asphaltum and
leave IL in loose state until ii is their
convenience to repair the pavement
This causes the pavement to wear away
into holes and makes it uneven All
these companies that must tear up the
streets for laying pipes will be COM
PEELED to repair completely each street
injured before they can get permits to
work on other streets.
President Duffey of the Board OF
Works said yesterday that he would
put goo men at work today to clean
Pine street so as to accommodate
teaming traffic while parallel streets
are being put in condition for running
Of street cars. One hundred laborers
will be put to work to clean Kearny
street and another hundred will work
out Market street, from New Mont
gomery.
The contractor for the repaving and
sewering of lower Market street was
told by Duffey that he must complete
his contract within ninety days after
the articles are signed
