Senator Rayner Of Maryland Directs His
Shafts Of Sarcasm at President.

Washington, Dec. 13.--N'ith incisiye
sarcasm Isidor Rayner Of Maryland, on
the floor of the Senate Yesterday after.
noon, assailed the Presidents attitude
toward the controversy now raging on
the Pacific coast with reference % the
segregation of the japanese in the public
schools OF San Francisco.
The text of the senator's speech was
the resolution on the subject which he
introduced at the opening of the present
session OF Congress.
Referring 70 the yelled threat in the
Presidents message 10 use the military
and naval forces Of the United States.
If necessary, Mr.. Rayner said:
1t Is very important that we should
know whether the President has any
power in the premises because It is dlite
serious matter, in view of the great
calamity that has lately befallen the
city of san Francisco. for the President

ton or preteXt upon which such Zero,

The President is exercising great
many functions executive, Legislative
and judicial, lawful and unlawful. con
-titutional and unconstitutional. ri ne
is possessed OF the idea that be s. the
supervisor of all the public schools OF
the various states OF she union. we must
either iisahuse his mind OF this fancy
or we must let him know that we agree
with him as to the omnipotence of his
Jurisdiction"
The senator contended that IL the
President could COMPEL the people Of
San Francisco to admit Japanese To the.
schools, he could, with equal propriety,
demand the admission of the negro chill
dren of Santo Domingo into the white
schools of South Carolina.
Senator Rayner laid down two propo
sitions;
First, that there i no provision what.
ever in the treaty with Japan that con,
fers the right that the President speaks
of or gives TO the government Of Japan
the privileges that It claims in connec.
ton with the public school system OF
California OF of any other state.
Second, IL there was such . provi-
sion in this treaty, or any other treaty
comforting this right, the treaty would
be void and without any authority upon
the part of the United States To make
It, and in violation of the constitution
and the treaty-making power OF the
