FRISCO AND THE JAPS
Metcalf Said to Have Told the School
Directors That They Were
Right.

San Francisco. Dec. 4.-School Di-
rector D. H. Oliver is said to assert
that Secretary Metcalf told the school
directors before his departure for
Washington that he believed they We're
clearly within their rights in estab-
fishing separate school for Japanese
pupils. This would tend to remove the
impression that Metcalf decided to ia
vOr the Japanese in his report to the
president.
That the matter will be taken to the
supreme court is evident. and if it is
decided there that the Japanese are
not Mongolians it is certain that the
legislature at its next session will pass
a law to keep the japanese out of the
schools in which Caucasians are
taught.

Milwaukee, Dec. 3.-If City Al

The complaint which Mr.. Kelly pre-
pared under the direction of the com"
mon council asking relief from
various alleged shortcomings of the
street railway company has been filed
with the state commission. The state
ment regarding the lower fare says:
"That said charge of 5 cents for a
single cash fare and said charge OF

and said charge Of % cents for
package of six tickets good for one

Milwaukee, Nov. 29-The decision

Inheritance estate may be the means
of turning thousands of dollars to the
