ROOT SUGGESTED PROCEDURE
Secretary Denies That New Treaty Is
to Be Negotiated

BY Associated Press
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-Inquiry to-
day disclosed the fact that legal pro-
ceedings to be taken today in San
Francisco by the district attorney in
the admission of Japanese to the pub
lie schools of the city without discrim-
ination were inspired by Secretary
Root, who expressed the opinion that
it would be one way of effectually
disposing of the controversy.
That the presidents views on the
subject met with the hearty approval
of the Japanese government was made
evident today when Viscount Aoki, the
japanese ambassador, said that he had
personally thanked the president for
what he had said.
A rumor that a new treaty between
the United States and Japan was to be
negotiated, designed to remedy anySde-
fects in the one now in force, was set
at rest today when both Viscount Aoki
and Secretary Root unequivocaEy de-
MED that such thing was now in con-
temptation.

Woman Found Dead
in Bathroom of
Hotel
Flame Of Small Stove Is
Extinguished Without
Her knowledge
Had Been Married but Six Months
and Wodded Life Was Happy,
According to Her
Friends

Has the gas company claimed an
other victim in Los Angeles?
Has negligence on the part of some
member of that corporation been re-
sponsible for the death of Mrs. Selma
Jaynes, beautiful young bride, who
was found lying dead on the floor Of
bath room in the Iowa hotel, S021s East
Fifth street, at 4 o'clock yesterday
afternoon?
These are two questions which may
never be truthfully answered, but to
person who visits the scene and sees
the mute witnesses of the death of
Mrs. Selma Jaynes the questions are
answered.
Mrs. Jaynes, a bride of six months,
wife of Claude F. Jaynes, a black
smith in the employ of the Los Angeles
Hardware and Storage company, was
found by Clifford Themes, son of the
landlord of the Iowa, sitting on the
floor of the bath room beside a few
articles of women's finery she had
been cleaning with head bowed and
eyes closed in death.
Gas Fills Room
AS she lay the poisonous gas from
a stove used to heat a tank of water
directly above her head continued to
escape, for no flame was burning
when the door was opened by Themes
and the poison had already smothered
out the young life.
| Themes attention was first attracted
while he was on the second floor, di-
lrectly under the bath room. Water
dropping from the ceiling caused him
to look up and see that the plaster
above his head was yet. Thinking
some person had. left / e water run
ming in the bath tub the boy ran up
stairs only to find the bath room door
closed. Turning the knob it opened
and then stuck. Peering in the boy
saw the form of a woman lying on the
floor, and this it was that caused the
door to stop. Hastily calling his father
Clifford pushed the door open and
rushing in turned off the gas, which
was flowing full force.
Physician Too Late
He and his father drew the body into
the hall and a physician was at once
summoned, but when he arrived the
young woman was dead. Without
doubt the young woman came to her
death by asphyxation, the gas escap-
ing through the pipes Of the stove.
How did it happen?" ask her
friends.
For the greater part of yesterday
the gas in many sections of the city
was weak. Did 1t suddenly die out
in this one section while the young
woman continued at her work, not
knowing that the flame had gone out
and that the poisonous gas was kill
ing her until she was overcome and
too weak to open the door?
Six months ago the young woman
was married in the same house and
but few doors away from the bath
room in which she met her death.

BRIBERY BATTLE
WAGED IN COURT
By Associated Press.

By Associate TED Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 5.-The act
ual court battle against the indicted
officials began today when Supervisor
F. P. Nicholas and City Hall Janitor
Peter NJ. Duffy appeared in Judge
Lawlor's court to plead to the charges
of agreedinG to receive a bribe and
perjury.
The court allowed the defense to
proceed separately, and the case of
Nicholas will be the fiji st to be de-
cided.
At the appointed time both Nicholas
and Duffy were present with one Of
their attorneys.
The prosecution was represented by
District Attorney VIM. III. Langdon,
Francis j. Heney and Hiram Johnson.
Rudolph Spreckels and ]. ]. Dwyer
were also present, as well as most of
the members of the grand jury, who
had been subpoenaed by the defense.
The first step in the Nicholas case
was taker by Attorneys Murphy and
Fairball who presented a motion to
set aside the indictments. The motion
was purely technical, presenting the
statutory grounds on which an indict-
ment may be set aside.
Sllldll CllNeT VI Tie BrdHu JURY
was called as a witness and asked a
number of questions designed to elicit
information regarding the finding of
the Nicholas indictment. He said that
he thought all of the members OF the
jury were present at the time and that
more than twelve had voted for the
Indictment. He denied that he had
talked to District Attorney Langdon or
Assistant Heney about 1t. He was not
acquainted with Nicholas or Ruef and
had only sympathy for the defendants.
Juror e. j. Gallagher, the next wit
nies, die not know Nicholas, and all
though he knew Langdon and sympa-
thized with him, this fact did not in
fiuence him in the least in the grand
jury room.
Attorney Fairball admitted that the
defense would attack the validity of
the grand jury.

Issues to Be

Does State Statute Violate
Treaty Rights Of

On This Basis United States District
Attorney viii Lay Controversy
Before the Courts
at Once

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 5.-In ac-
cordance with instructions received
from Attorney General Moody, United
States District Attorney Robert r. Dew
lin this afternoon held a conference in
his office with President Aaron Altman
of the board of education, City Attor-
ney William G. Burk and Assistant
City Attorneys William Baggett and
John Williams to Liscuss the exclusion
of Japanese from schools attended by
whites with a view to arranging suit
to test the state statute which requires
the segregation of children of mon
golian parentage in separate schools.
Proceedings, technically known as a
controversy without action will be
brought either in the supreme court of
California or in federal court.
The points in dispute were practically
agreed upon at today conference, but
the drafting of the statement of facts
was postponed until Friday by unan-
imous consent. Mr. Devlin, in the
meantime, will comm nicate with At
torney General Moody as to whether
the proceedings shall be brought in
the supreme court of the state or in
one of the federal courts in this dis
trict.
He intimated that unless he is in
structed to the contrary he will ask
the highest tribunal OF the state for a
decision.
Mr.. Devlin said that she whole Issue
resolves itself into the question. OF
whether the state statute is in violation
of the treaty rights of Japan. He Is
of the opinion that the law discrim-
mates against the Japanese, inasmuch
as German, Irish and other children
of foreign parentage and descent are
not segregated in separate schools,
whereas the treaty with Japan guar
antees the Japanese equal rights and
privileges with the aliens from other
lands.
1t is on this basis that the United
States district attorney is proceeding
and as only the points agreed upon
will be submitted an early decision is
expected from the courts.
