NAVY PROMOTIONS.
Special Message Advocates Radical
Changes in System.

Washington. President Roosevelt
Monday sent to Congress a special
message on the personnel OF the navy,
in which some radical changes in the
methods of promotion now in vogue
are advocated. The messags in part
is as wollows:
| "In my last three annual messages
have invited the attention of the Con
gress to the urgent necessity of such
legislation as will cause officers OF
the line OF the navy to reach the
grades of captain and rear admiral
ct less advanced ages, and will give
them more experience and training in
the important duties of these grades.
"Under the present archaic system
OF promotion, without parallel in the
navy of any other first-class power.
captains are commissioned at the aver
age age of fiftysiX and rear admirals
at the average of sixty. The system is
the result of long-continued preju-
dice in favor OF method of promo
ton by which all lieutenants in order
Of seniority pass through the several
grades until they eventually become
rear admirals; a method which sacri
| fees the good OF the service to the in
terests OF the individual mediocrity."
The Presideht transmits a bill, re-
commended by board OF six ofhcers
appointed by the secretary of the
| Navy, AVID says:
The bill herewith transmitted to the
Congress has been formulated by the
secretary and is based. except in few
details, on the recommendation.
Should 1t be enacted into law it will
cause officers on the sea-going list to
reach the grade of captain at forty
eight, and rear admirals at fifty-fivc,
and will assure their serving seven
years in the grade of rear admiral,
thus enabling them to become thor
oughly skilful and efficient in these
grades.
"The accompanying bill also estab-
fishes the grade of vice admiral. This
grade has long existed in all other
principal navies of the world in order
to obtain a selected grade Of skilled
commanders in chief.
"If the proposed plan Of promotion
Ia carried out 1t will as compared with
existing law, make a saving of more
than 81, 10000 during the next seven
years.
81 am firmly of the opinion that up-
less the present condition Of higher
command personnel is rectified by ju-
dlcious legislation, the future OF our
navy will be gravely compounded"

SCHOOL TROUBLE
PRESIDENTS MESSAGE ON JAP
ANESE EXCLUSION.
APPEALS TO SAN FRANCISCO
Declares That Japanese Will be Fully
Protected - Commends Secre-
tary Metcalf's Report.

shington.-Following is the Pres
ident's message transmitted to Con
gress Tuesday:
Il enclose herewith for your infor
nation the final report made to me
personally by Secretary Metcalf on the
situation affecting the Japanese in San
Francisco. The report deals with three
matters of controversy-frst, the ex-
the San Francisco schools; second,
the boycotting of japanese restau-
rants, and third, acts of violence COM
mitted against the japanese.
"As to the first matter, l 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
behavior of these Japanese chilren in
the schools, and to the fact that, owing
| to their being scattered throughout
| to go to one special school is impossi-
| be of f.lfilment and means that they
cannot have school facilities. Let me
| point out further that there would be
no objection whatever to excluding
from the schools any Japanese on the
score of age. 1t is obviously not desir-
able that young men should go to
school with children. The only point
is the exclusion of the children them
selves. The number of Japanese chill
dren attending the public schools in
| San Francisco was very small.
"The government has already di-
rected that suit be brought to test the
constitutionality 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 protec
ton of the japanese in their persons
and property. Both the chief of police
and the acting mayor of San Francisco
assured Secretary Metcalf that every
thing possible would be done to pro
tect the Japanese in the city. author
lied and directed Secretary Metcalf tt
state that if there was failure TO pro
tect persons and property, then the en-
tire power of the federal government
within the limits of the constitution
would be used promptly and vigor
ously to enforce the observance of oul
treaty, the supreme law of the land
which treaty guaranteed to japanese
residents everywhere in the Union full
and perfect protection for their per
sons and property; and to this end ev
erything in my power would be done
and all the forces of the United States
both civil and military, which l could
lawfully employ, would be employed
call especial attention to the conclud
ing sentence of Secretary Metcalfs re
port of November &c, 1906.

INDIANS WEALTH.
Great Progress Being Made by the Rec
Men,

shinSton.-Considera of the
Indian appropriation bill carrying
sS,2OS, 900 was begun Monday in the
house. Representative Sherman Of
New York, chairman of the Indian af,
fairs committee, made an extended ex.
planation CT the measure and incident.
ally discussed the whole Indian ques,
tion.
It was shown that the total Indian
population is now 2S4,2S0, and that the
Indian is rapidly assuming citizens
dress Ten years ago there were
81 600 Indians who wore citizens
dress while last year the number was
116OOO. Ten years ago $4,000 Indians
read English, while last year the mum.
Der had increased to $4,000; those who
speak the language number 10000. OF
the total Indian population $4,000 are
members of regularly established
churches.
The Indian has to-day in the United
States treasury funds amounting &c
$50, 1888, 900, upon which an annual in,
terest is paid amounting to s1.625,OGO.
The government pays to the Indian an
nually under treaty obligations more
than S750,000 The lands owned by the
Indians outside of the territories
amount to 51,47S,000 acres, or an aver
age for every man, woman and child
of 2Tl acres.
REPRESENTATIVE Sherman denied that
the Indian is gradually disappearing.
and said that statistics show that last
year there were 316 more births than
deaths.

SUGAR BEET PAYMENTS.
Large Sums Disbursed by Greeley, Ea
ton and Windsor Factories.

Greeley.-Saturday payment for the
November deliveries of beets was
made by the Greeley, Eaton and Wind
sor sugar factories. The Greeley fac
tory paid $4,000; Eaton, $215,,
900; Windsor, $4,000; total, s6O4,.
600. The monthly payroll for
workmen at the three factories is
$4,000, and the expenses 100000
which, added to the foregoing,
makes a total of $4,000 put into cir
culation by the three factories during
the last few days. The September de-
livery of beets brought $1S5OOO, and
October $311,O0O, which, with the
monthly payroll and expenses of the
three factories has made the three dis
tricts richer by S1,500,000. 1t is quite
probable that the December delivery
will equal that of November, and it will
be February 1st before all beets are de
livered, which will prolong the sugar
campaign into March. All beets are
dug in northern Colorado and there is
a good prospect that practically all
will be used by the factories without
loss to the farmers from freezing OF
having.
The Beet Growers Association OF
the Greeley district met Saturday, with
25O present, to consider making con
tracts for growing beets for sugar fac
tories next season. They united to
man against SLIDING beets in the field
at $3.50 a ton, as offered by the sugar
company, as they claim the extra 81
| cents does not pay for the shrinkage
in sliced beets, to say nothing OF the
extra expense of labor. The farmers
believe that if the factories wish tc
have the beets sliced the work shoulC
| be done by the factories.
The growers also object to tht
clause in the present contract which
| requires a grower to wait until Octo
| Der goth to deliver unless ordered ear
lier, and desire the privilege of deliv
| ering beets by October 18th. A com
mittee was appointed to draft con
| tract embodying the desires OF tht
growers and submit it to the suga1
| company.
Henry C. Watson resigned as pres
ident of the association Hnd Charlie!
Mason was elected in hil place.

METcALF'S REPORT.
Secretary Describes Japanese Troubl,
in San Francisco.


Washington-In his report to the
President on the Japanese complaints
In San Francisco Secretary Metcalf
says:
at seems that for several years the
Board of Education of San Francisco
had been considering the advisability
of establishing separate schools for
Chinese, Japanese and Korean children
and May 6, 1905, passed a resolution
declaring its purpose to do this.
October 11th the board passed the
following resolution:
Resolved, That in accordance with
Article X, Section 1862, of the school
law of California, principals are
hereby directed to send all Chinese
Japanese or Korean children to the
Oriental public school situated on the
south side of Clay street between Pow,
ell and Mason streets, on and after
Monday, October Is, 1906.
The action of the board in the
passage of the resolution of May G
1905, and October II, 1906. was un
doubtedly largely influenced by the
activity of the Japanese and Korean
Exclusion League, an organization
formed for the purpose of securing the
enactment by the Congress of the
United States of law extending the
provisions of the existing Chinese ex
cluslOn act so as to exclude japanese
and Koreans.
"The Oriental school, the school SCI
| apart for the Chinese, Japanese ana
Korean children, is in the burned sec
| tion. There is only one Japanese stu
| dent attending this school at the pres
ent time, and there are no japanese
| children attending any of the othel
| school
Il found the sentiment in the state
! very strongly against Japanese youn:
men attending the primary grades.
"The press of San Francisco prett,
generally upholds the action of thu
Board If Education.
| MANY Of the foremost educators II
the state, on the other hand, are
strongly opposed to the action of thu

the law and the protection of prop
erty and person you looked to them t

in San Francisco were afforded tn,

them that if the local authorities wer,
not able to cope with the situation o
if they were negligent or derelict il
the performance of their duty, then tn
entire power of the federal govern
ment within the limits of the constitr
tion would be used, and used prompt
