not his and that the demand for this
legislation was made in three demo

his victory, for l think we should

Mr.. Blaine is the youngest son of
the Maine statesman. He was first
married to Marie Neyins, now the
wife of DR.. Bull, of New York He is
about 80 years old. He has resided
since his fathers death chiefly in
Washington, with his mother and sis
ter, Mrs. Harriet Blaine Beale. He
has not figured extensively in society
since the separation some years ago
from his first wife.
Young Blaine has never shown any
marked aptitude for work. He was
blackballed by one or two clubs in
Washington. He refused to study
when at school and was expelled from
several institutions Later he tried
newspaper work in Pittsburg. He
was not a brilliant success and took
up the study of law, which he after
ward dropped.
Young Blaine first began to have
an identity of his own when he held
lucrative government clerkship
granted him because he was the son
Of the famous Maine statesman. He
distinguished himself by swearing he
had fallen head over ears in love with
the daughter of congressman
Palmer, and by inducing her somehow
to elope with him to New York. Some
weeks later the girl was found there
living alone, and in spite of the Blaine
prestige a scion of the house was
ostracized from Washington society.
BuC he was still in the world. He
emphasized this fact by once again
falling in love. this time with such
admirable taste that no one but his
family disapproved the choice. The
elder Blains, who happened to be Oft
in Maine, raised a dreadful row. to
which Jimmie only gave heed sufH

Ihere have been many similar cere-

was the wedding of Nellie Grant to
AlgernOn Sartoris. 1t Is the only other

palities in the conduct of their local af-
fairs half dozen able bodied hornets
nests in the Senate will break loose
early in the session.
Senator l. lint and Benjamin Ide
Wheeler of California both called at
the White House yesterday TO see the
President and TO advise him from diff
ferent points of view that any interior
ence by the Federal Government or any
assumption of q right to interfere with
the school system of San Francisco or
any other city would provoke riot.
Senator Flint declared that the Fed
eral Government would make a great
mistake because there was a disposi-
ton in San Francisco to pass local
ordinance limiting the age at which pu-
pills will be received in the public
schools. This would do away with
most of the complaint, because a ma
jority of the Japanese students are
adults, with whom white parents are
not willing to have their young chill
dren associate.
Secretary Metcalf has come from the
coast intimating that any attempt Of
the United States Government, by
treaty or otherwise, to regulate the
schools of any city on the Pacific Coast
would be resented instantly and could
be enforced only by the use Of troops
ators are arriving in Washington In
perfect flame of excitement because
they have been led to believe that the
Japanese agitation in San Francisco is
merely a decoy for an attempt to break
down the whole system OF separate
schools for negroes in the Southern
States So far as the intention of the
administration is concerned. the South
ern Senators are entirely mistaken,
because the President and Secretary
Root have nothing more in view than
the maintenance of friendly relations
with Japan, a nation with which we
have had traditional ties of friendship
and which is just now particularly val
liable to US in a commercial way.
While the administration is thus
clearly acquitted of any intention TO
apply its theories to the negro ques-
ton, il none the less is true that the
situations are so closely concerned that
if the Japanese by the power OF the
United States can be put in the public
schools in San Francisco in spite of
the local law, a full blooded negro
with a certificate of citizenship from
France or Germany or Great Britain
and there are thousands Of such-could
be forced into the white schools OF
washington, Charleston, Atlanta or
New Orleans.
The result is that the Southern and
Pacific Coast Senators are rapidly get
ting together. They will defeat any
treaty in the future which seeks TO
give alien citizens the right to attend
local public schools in spite OF local
laws

RELIES on PRESIDENT
Japanese Embassy Not Concerned Over
School Question

WASHINGTON, Dec. Japan has
every confidence that President Roose-
welt will adjust the California school
controversy entirely to the satisfaction
Of both nations. Feeling this conf
dence, Japan has ceased to be agitated
over .He situation. The japanese news
papers are emphatically moderate in all
their notices Of the affair. and so far
as the japanese nation is concerned
there is absolutely no reason for the
revival OF the newspaper notoriety in
this country"
The Associated Press was today au-
thorized TO quote the Japanese embassy
as above. II was further said that
there were no new developments in the
situation of any character: that the
matter was IN the hands of President
Roosevelt. and HIS Willingness and abil-
ity 20 act was entirely relied upon.
