WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-The spe-
cial message of President Roosevelt
carrying the report of Secretary Met
calf on the Japanese school question
in San Francisco was sent to both
houses today. The message and re-
port read:
To the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives:
I inclose herewith for your informa-
tion the final report made to me per-
sonally by Secretary Metcalf on the
situation affecting the Japanese in
San Francisco. The report deals with
three matters of controversy-frst,
the exclusion Of the Japanese children
from the San Francisco schools; sec
ond, Che boycotting of Japanese res
taurants, and third, acts of violence
committed against the Japanese.
AS to the first matter, 1 call your
especial attention to the very small
number of japanese children who at
tend school, to the testimony as to the
brightness, cleanliness and good be-
havior of these Japanese children in
the schools, and to the fact that, ow-
ing to their being scattered through
out the city, the requirement for them
all to go to one special school is i'm
possible of fulfilment and means that
me point out further that there would
be no objection whatever to exclud-
ing from the schools any Japanese on
the score of age. 1t is obviously not
desirable that young men should go
to school with children. The only

broken all over town.
The fire spread to adjoining build

ridiculed the idea, saying that she
never would keep such a thing in that.
Examination of the pocket revealed
the missing policy.
Mrs. Evans declined to take the ad-
vice of Mr.. Nixon that it would be
best for her to give up the policy, say
ing that she guessed she would keep
it a while longer, as she might have
use for it,,
Mr.. Nixon wrote the company the
particulars Of the whole affair last
night in reporting the loss. The COM
pany would have preferred the peace
able surrender of the policy to fight
ing the matter in the courts.
Mrs Evans has retained the serv-
ices of Scott Henderson and Oscar
Cain as attorneys, and ner hearing
and that of Monta will probably take
place tomorrow.

On CHARGE Of bETRAY|NG GIRL

companion to Mrs. McCalley and while
with the McCalleys, was we'll and fav-

1t was while living with the Mccall
leys that the alleged betrayal is said to
have been committed. The complaint
states that previous to this time Miss
Villa was a chaste woman and she had
borne an excellent reputation. 1t is
stated that McCalley promised to mar
ry the girl and on the strength of these
promises Illicit relations took place.
Later McCalley left the city. An eff
fort has been made to have the couple
made man and wife and the affair
hushed up, but so far this has been of
no avail.
After a disagreement McCalley left
for Portland and, it is said, the young
woman followed him, begging of him
to right the wrong which he had done.

SLOW TO SHOW UP THE
DOCUMENT

A charge of arson was lodged
against Mrs. l.. A. Evans and James
Montrose (alias Monta by Prosecut-
ing Attorney Lester H. Wilson this
morning.
The police department has collected
all the evidence possible on the case
and is ready for trial at any time.
The trunk belonging to Mrs Evans
and a satchel have been located in the
Freewater hotel and it is said that
the county attorney wishes to exam
inc the contents Of the trunk for
further evidence before going to trial.
The latest peculiar action of the
mysterious woman is in refusing to
deliver up the insurance policy for
s7OO when requested to do so last
evening by E. H. Nixon, agent Of the
Citizens Union.
When visited by the agent last night
she at first declared the policy had
been burned in the fire, then thought
it might be in the satchel She made
a hasty search in the satchel for it in
the presence of Mr.. Nixon, and said 1t
was not there. When Mr.. Nixon called
her attention to a small pocket on the
side of the satchel and suggested that
it might possibly be in this Mrs. Evans

point is the exclusion of the children
themselves. The number Of Japanese
children attending the public schools
in San Francisco was very small. The
government has already directed that
suit be brought to test the constitu-
tiOnality of the act in question, but
my very earnest hope is that such suit
will not be necessary, and that as a
matter of comfy the citizens of San
Francisco will refuse to deprive these
young Japanese children of education
and will permit them to go to the
schools.
The question as to the violence
against the Japanese is most admir-
ably put by Secretary Metcalf, and
have nothing to add to his statement
am entirely confident that, as Secre-
tary Metcalf says, the overwhelming
sentiment of the state of California is
for law and order and for the pro-
lection of the japanese in their per-
sons and property. Both the chief of
police and the acting mayor Of San
Francisco assured Secretary Metcalf
that everything possible would be
done to protect the Japanese in the
city. 1 authorized and directed Sec
cretary Metcalf to state that if there
was failure to protect persons and
property, then the entire power of the
federal government within the linn
its of the constitution would be used
promptly and vigorously to enforce
the observance of our treaty, the su-
preme law of the land, which treaty
