BERLIN, April 5.-The power of sug-
gestion in literature has just been DEM
onstrated here in a most remarkable man.
ner. Baron Won Litziwic, a member of
the Prussian upper house, aged sixty
eight, was travelling from Stettin. His
sole companion in the compartment was
a young man who was reading a book en-
titled "A Fight on Locomotive"
Suddenly the young man became very
much excited. He drew revolver and
fired nve shots at the baron Some of these
shots struck Won Litziwic full in the face
After terrific struggle the baron finally
succeeded in opening the carriage door and
climbing along the footboard to the next
compartment, In which were several la
dies, the train being in motion ell the
time
Startled by his unexpected appearance
and by his bIood-stained face some of the
ladies tried hard to push him on the foot
board Others, however, helped him into
the carriage In the excitement the young
man who had been reading "A Fight on a
Locomotive" succeeded In making his es-
cape, and no trace Of him has AZ yet been
found

METCALF SAYS
JAPS ARE
RIGHT
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 13.-The
Call will say tomorrow that Secretary
Metcalf before leaving for Washington
today confided to few intimate
friends that the sentiment of the peo-
pie of San Francisco, If not of the
whole state, was opposed to allowing
Japanese or Chinese children to mingle
freely with Caucasian children in the
public schools, and that 1t was likely
that the statute providing that Asiatic
children be taught in separate schools
would be strengthened at the coming
session of the legislature.
The secretary said further, according
to the Call, that it was his opinion as
a lawyer that the treaty between the
United States and Japan guaranteed
to the children of Japan resident in
this country the right to an education
in the public schools without discrim-
ination, and on an equal plane with
the children of the most favored ma
tions, and that he would so report to
President Roosevelt.
He was further of the opinion that
the word "Mongolian," strictly inter-
preted, meant natives of Mongolia;
that the Japanese could not be brought
under that designation and that the
federal courts would declare the state
law unconstitutional.

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.-Secretary
Root has accepted an invitation to at
tend the dedication of a window to the
late John Hay in the synagogue of
Keneseth Israel congregation at Phila-
delphia on December 2.
Oscar Solomon Strauss, who is to
succeed Secretary Metcalf as the head
of the department of commerce and
labor, also will attend the dedication
ceremonies.
DIR. Krausskopf, pastor of the congre-
cation, said today that the perpetual
tion of the memory of the late Secre-
tary Hay by the installation of a
window in Jewish church is a de-
cided innovation, and will be the first
instance where non-Jew has been
honored by the installation of any sort
of memorial in a Jewish house Of
worship.
This exception is made because of
Mr.. Hays service in behalf OF the un-
fortunate Jews at Kishineff, Russia,
and in recognition of his efforts to pre-
vent Jews from being Disseminated
against in any way.

SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 13.-The
Call today says:
1t became known in Federal circles
that recent locations of land in Kern
county by agents of the Standard oil
company have been made the subject
of Investigation by government off,
.ciais. As a result 1t is asserted that
indictments will follow. te
The land was taken up by the
petroleum combine ostensibly for the
gypsum deposits, but in reality for oil
purposes. That the character of the
land had been carefully studied is
shown by the fact that a flowing oil
well has already been developed
The inquiry is being made through
the office of United States Attorney
Devlin of San Francisco.
Federal agents have been at work
for several weeks in Kern county
From their preliminary reports 1t is
believed that the manner in which the
land was secured will warrant indict-
ments on the part OF the Federal
grand jury.
