PRESIDENT SENDS SECRETARY
METcALF TO SAN FRANCISCO
ON MISSION.
DEMAND THEIR FULL RIGHTS
PRESIDENT ANXIOUS TO DEMON
sTRATE TO JAPAN SINGER
iTY OF AMERICA.

Washington, Oct. 2s.-President
Roosevelt last night directed Victor
H. Metcalf, secretary of the depart
ment of commerce and labor, to go to
San Francisco and make thorough
and complete inquiry into the situation
affecting the exclusion of Japanese
children from schools provided for
white children and the determination
to place Japanese pupils in separate
schools.
Asks Full Rights for JaFs.
The determination to send Secretary
Metcalf to San Francisco was one OF
the results of the request made by
Viscount Aoki, the Japanese ambassa
dor, who at a conference with Secre-
tary Root yesterday asked in behalf of
his government that the Japanese sub
jects in California be accorded their
full rights under the treaty of 1894
including that of the children to at
tend the public schools Of San Fran
cisco.
AlIay Feeling in Japan.
1t is hoped that the expressed de-
sire of the administration to secure
the treaty rights Of the Japanese will
tend to allay the anti-American feeling
in Japan until the whole matter is dip
lomatically adjusted.
The inquiries to be instituted by Mr.
Metcalf are supplemental to the steps
initiated in San Francisco Thursday
by direction of the department of JUS
tice to compel the authorities to re
ceive Japanese pupils.
Look Into Boycott.
Incidental to the school question
Mr.. Metcalf will pay some attention tC
the charges made by Count Aoki that
Japanese restaurant keepers in San
Francisco have suffered indignities
At least seven Or eight reports have
been made concerning a boycott inau
gurated against these restaurants
The Japanese officials in Washington
say they realize that these demonstra
tons and the exclusion of the school
children are acts local in character
but they say it is hard to convince the
people of Japan that the central gov
eminent is not responsible.

may Be Clue TO
OCEAN TRAGEDY
FOUR HUNDRED LIFE PREsERv-
ERs COME ASHORE NEAR
CAPE HATTERAs.
.PLUCKfD FROM JAWS OF DEATH
FLORIDA STORM VICTIMS, ADRIFT,
PICKED UP AFTER ONE
SUICIDES

Norfolk, Va, Oct. 27-A maritime
puzzle that may be the result of an
ocean tragedy came ashore near Cape
Hatteras yesterday in the shape Of
more than 400 life preservers.
Between Hatteras and Big Kinna-
keet the beach is strewn with cork
Jackets. Some are marked "Caswits.
Rettrnvayurcer, G. r. p, No. 10S,341."
Others are stamped "Sealanan." Two
bear the name "Smeskf" Three miles
north of Big Kinnakeet part Of
white yawl boat and fragment of a
boats gunwale washed ashore. There
are no marks on this wreckage.
Probably Passenger Ships.
Because all the life preservers and
the pieces of wreckage came on the
beach in such limited area. and be-
cause of the large number of jackets,
shipping men here are of the opinion
that whatever the cause may be, it
occurred not far from the coast, and
that If there is a wreck it is probably
that of passenger ship. A search
among the marine records has failed
to reveal any names that correspond
with those on the life preservers, and
life preservers are generally markd
with the name of the boat they are
on. 1t is probable a revenue cutter
will be sent out to search off Hatteras
for further traces of wreck.
Driven Mad by Suffering.
Counting the minutes, which SEEM
ed to them to be but few, intervening
between them and death; bruised,
bleeding, hungering and athirst, five
men adrift on a bit of wreckage off
the Florida coast saw one of their
companions whose sufferings had driv-
en- him mad, throw himself into the
sea to death, and not long afterwards
ship which was coming saved their
lives.
The five survivors of one of the
greatest tragedies which has ever oc.
Cured on this coast were landed here
yesterday by the British steamer
Heatherpool, Capt. John Grieves, COM
handing.
Dashed to Pieces by Cyclone.
The survivors, with about 145 9TH
ers, were constructing a concrete via
duct for the Florida East Coast rail-
way through the Florida keys and
were aboard Houseboat Nc. 4, which
lay anchored off the coast on the night
of Oct. II. The great hurricane which
swept over the coast struck the house.
boat about 1 o'clock on the morning
Of Oct. 10. and No. broke adrift. The
houseboat soon afterwards foundered
and all of the $50 men aboard were
thrown into the sea. The houseboat
was dashed to pieces by the waves.
Many Were Killed.
Many of the men were killed by
heavy timbers which struck them as
they were struggling to find means Of
rescue. Six men dashed together two
timbers and lived on this raft until
one man became mad from suffering
and injury and threw himself into the
sea.
