Washingtn, ID. c., Dec. 12.--"It is

you take charge of the treasury port
folio March L." said Senator Aldrich,
who talked with the president today
about Cortelyous nomiation as secre-
tary of the treasury, which was held
up by the senate finance committee
yesterday, because no date was speci-
fed as to when the nomination would
become effective. The senator said
sight.

tween Aldrich and the president, the

Senator Raynor on Japs.
Caustic criticism of President
Roosevelt's position on the Japanese
question prefaced Senator Raynor's
discussion In the senate today, of the
constitutional question Involved. If
the military and civil forces of the
government are to be used by the
president, Raynor said, il becomes
very important to know the exact
power of the president in the matter,
because" he said, "it is quite seri-
Gus matter IL view of the great ca.
lamity that has lately beallen me
city of San Francisco, for the presi-
dent to contemplate the bombarding
of the city at this time, and to de-
clare his intention to proceed against
the country school trustees of Cali
for2ia. IL there is no justification or
pretext upon which such ferocious
proceedings can be undertaken. The
president is exercising a great many
functions-the executive, the legisla-
tive and the judicial, lawful and un-
lawful, constitutional and unconstitu-
tional. If he can take possession of
the schools of California and compel
that state TO admit Japanese students
contrary to the laws of California,
he can with equal propriety send US
an amendment to the Santo Domingo
treaty and demand the admission of
the negro children of Santo Domingo
into the white schools of South Caro-
lima or any other state of the union"
Raynor contended that the power
Of a state to regulate its public
school system is logically among its
powers, and that the government has
no right in any treaty TO provide that
citizens of foreign lands shall possess
privileges in the public schools of
state that are prohibited by the laws
or constitution of the states in which
they are claimed.
Plea for Navy Yards
The ability of the government navy
yards to turn out waTships equal in
all respects to those built under con
tract, in the opinion of Admiral Capps
chief of the bureau of construction for
the navy in his annual report has
been fully demonstrated. He urges
that at least one yard on the Pacific
coast and one on the Atlantic should
be given a reasonable proportion of
new construction in order that such
yards may always be available for
any work which the government may
desire. He recommends the building
of additional dry docks, capable of
docking the largest vessels at both
Norfolk and Pensacola. aud for the
enlarging and rebuilding OF dry dock
No. at the New York navy yard.
