REPLY
To JAPANESE.

The Board of Education addressed
the following communication to *
Uyeno, the Japanese Consul, yesterday,
Affirming their stand in excluding Jap
anese children from the public schools
and directing that all Orientals attend
a special school provided for them
To the Hon. K Uyeno Esq, Consul of
Japan:
Dear Sir-I have the honor to trans
nit to you herewith the reply of the
Board of Education to your esteemed
communication of October II, In Wh1cn
you make reference to an order issued
by this department that all children
of Mongoian descent attend the ORR
entail school on Clay street which
school has been set aside for their use.
The Board of Education in making
an order such as mentioned above is
guided by the provision OF article ~,
section 1862, of the school law OF the
State of California, to which law the
Board of Education would respectfully
invite your attention and which reads
in part as follows:
(School law of California, 1908, page
81. article TO- Primary and Grammar
Schools, section 1662):
Trustees shall have the power to ex-
clude all children of filthy or vicious
tagious or infectious diseases and also
to establish separate schools for In
dian children and for children of Mon
golian OF Chinese aescene bTisbed men sqrn Inn
dian, Chinese or Mongolian children
must not be admitted into any other
school, etc.
AS almost the entire Japanese quar-
ter is in locality easy of access to
this Oriental school and is situated
practically the same as the other
schools in the city where children are
required to walk several blocks, often
times in the burned district, 1T was
thought that no hardships whatever
would be placed on any Japanese pupil.
Since making the order alluded to the
Board of Education has ascertained
that there are some fifty very small
children that would be affected there
by. and the board has under advisement
a plan to accommodate these tots at a
school much nearer their place of abode
than the Oriental school.
The Board of Education regrets that
it cannot comply with the request you
have communicated in your letter. e..
that the order made on the llth inst
be rescinded. In conversation with
your secretary the feasibility of hav-
ing the State law tested in the tederal
courts has been discussed, and such
disposition of the matter would be
highly agreeable to this department.
We can but refer you again to that
section of the State law under which
the order was made and express regret
that you have found cause for protest
in the application of the same. Yours
respectfully,
E. c. LEFFINGWELL.
Secretary Board of Education.

FILES OBJECTION
To ORDINANCE.

In Difference to a protest filed by the
Building Trades Council the Board of
Supervisors yesterday postponed until
next Thursday the final passage of the
ordinance designed to prohibit the over
crowding of cars.
Joseph Kelly, representing the Build
ing Trades Council, objected to the sec
tion of the ordinance requiring police
men to arrest any passenger who rides
on the steps or the running boards of
the cars. Kelly argued that the PEN
atty should be directed against the
company and not the passenger who
is compelled to get to his work or
destination. Kelly said the company
has forty-one idle cars and fifty-seven
generators at the Geneva-street car
house, and these should be pressed into
service to prevent overcrowding.
Supervisor Sanderson at first in
sisted that the ordinance be finally act
ed upon at once, with a view to pre-
venting further accidents, but con-
sented to a postponement until teXt
Thursday, when other representatives
of the Building Trades Council will be
heard from.
Supervisor Wilson called attention to
the report of the special committee to
the effect that the United Railroads
is planning to put more cars in COM
mission and to open up new lines. VIII
son introduced a resolution giving the
company thirty days to equip its cars
with Enclosures to protect motormen
from interference.
The United Railroads was directed
to- remove all debris from Haight
street, between Stanyan street and Ma
sonic avenue, where recent excavations
have been made by it, in order that
sewer outlets and cesspools will be
free from obstructions and also to re-
move the debris from Sacramento
street between Fillmore and Devisa7
dero, for the same reason.
A petition was filed by merchants
south of Market street for the imme-
diate placing in order of Sixth street
from Market to Channel, so it can be
used for teaming purposes. The petit
TONERS say that the Southern Pacific
Company has $500 loaded cars to be
delivered to various parts of the city
and it's inability to deliver the mer-
chandise is attributed to the fact that
no street is passable except Third
street in that vicinity. The petition
was referred to the joint street and
finance committee.
Ordinances were finally passed order
ing the laying of sidewalks on the
south side of H street, between Eighth
and Thirteenth avenues, and accepting
a deed from the Pope Estate Company
for the opening of Shrader, Cole and
Belvedere streets.
The board ordered a sewer built in
Harrison street, between Fourth and
Sixth, to cost $4,000.

NORTH GERMAN 6
ACTS Tackled.
Plans to Test Reinsurance
With Cosmopolitan, Which
Is Claimed to Be Illegal
DESIRED

While the North German Insurance
Company of New York is informing its
San Francisco policy holders that they
must either take % cents on the dollar
or see the company go into the hands
of a receiver, proceedings are under
way that may result in having a re-
ceiver for the North German much
sooner than the stockholders desire.
The insurance of buildings against
fire in the United States promises to
be very profitable in the near future.
There is a scarcity of insurance in all
large cities in the United States. The
rates have been raised, not only on the
Pacific Coast but also in large Eastern
cities, where the increase is something
like 25 per cent.
Every fire insurance company desires
to keep it's plant in existence, whatever
the representations of insurance bluff
ers may be. There is no money in go-
ing out of business and much proht In
semaining in the ring. Hence the move
of the North German Insurance Com
pany of New York is regarded as bluff
by many policy holders who are wait
ing to see what will happen.
Now comes in c. Sumner Best and
his attorney. Robert Van Iderstine. who
say that suit will be begun against the
North German Company, that the legal
ity of the proceeding by which the re-
insurance fund of the North German
was turned over to the Cosmopolitan
Insurance Company will be attacked,
and that various suits are in view.
The proceedings, so Mr.. Best said yes
terday, will begin liz about two weeks
In New York The Cosmopolitan COM
pany reinsured the North German nine
DAYS after it was Incorporated by prac-
tically the same men who are promi-
nent in the North German company
The lists of officers of the two com
panies include the same persons to some
extent the Loebs preponderating
No outsider knows what the losses
or the assets of the North German COM
pany are The facts have been Kept
back by the company and no sworn
statement has been made. The general
belief is that the North German com
many can nav much more than 25 cents
on the dollar. Suits are projected In
an attempt to get the best settlements
for policy-holders that is possloie. AN
accounting is desired also, says MI
Best.

ToNOPAH. Oct. 22.--At the Office of
the Tonopah Extension it is announced
that the president of the company,
Donald B. Gillies. will arrive mere on
his return from the East in a lew days.
Some time ago it was reported that
Charles M. Schwab, who is heavily in
terested in the Extension, would come
to Nevada with Mr.. Gillies, but II is
not thought probable that he can get
away. Mr.. Gillies is working on the
preparation of plans FOR mill TO be
installed at the Extension, TO treat the
piles of ore on the dump.
The erection of this plant Will be
taken up as soon as the big mill OF the
Bullfrog Shoshone Company is well un-
der way. The Shoshone is controlled
by the same men who hold the ma
jority of the Extension stock, and mat
ters relating to the two big properties
are settled to the mutual advantage OF
both. The Extension lis a shipping
mine and has been so for some time
past, paying good dividends to its
stockholders. The Shoshone will be
numbered among the. biggest producers
of the State as soon as the mill is
in operation, and for this reason 1t has
been determined to give that mine the
preference in point of time.

TAILOR IS ROBBED
BY FOUR MEN.
Thugs Hold Up w. Cohen
on Kearny Street and Re
ieve Him/of His Money
ONE MAN

-Four men held up and robbed W..
Cohen. a tailor. shortly before s o'clock
last night. Cohen lives at 1851 Van
Ness avenue and was on his way home
when the men assailed him. The rob
berry occurred on Kearny street, near
Pacific. at a time when many persons
were passing in the vicinity OF the
robbery. Cohen says he recognized
one of the men as Peter Ordway. an
ex-convict. and who is known TO the
police as a desperate thug.
One of the men covered Cohen with
a revolver while another man rified
his pockets and relieved him Of S25.
Two other men stood close by and
acted as lookouts while two we're per-
forming the deed.
After they had succeeded In getting
all the money Cohen had they ordered
him TO proceed down the street and
threatened him with death il he made
an outcry
Cohen says he is positive in his
Identification Of Ordway. Il knew the
Cohen, and / was satisfied to let him
take my money from me so long as he
did not injure me.
Il dreaded the robbers would hit
me on the head with a gaspipe or some
other instrument and when they told
me to go down the street and not to
make an Outcry proceeded. satisfied
to lose my money without being In
jured."
Cohen reported the holdup to the
police. >

SECRETARY METCALF FINDS
DETENTION QUARTERS CROWDED
Suggests That Examination Boards Be
Established Abroad to Prevent
CONGESTION.

NEW YORK, Oct. 22-After visit
of inspection to the immigrant station
on Ellis Island today Victor II. Met
calf, Secretary of the Department of
Commerce and Labor, declared that the
detention quarters on the island were
too small and overcrowded. The Sec
retary was accompanied by Frank p.
Sargent, Commissioner General of I'm
migration.
Secretary Metcalf hoped that Con-
gress would make an appropriation to
increase the accommodations, and sug-
gested that one way of 1essening over
crowding would be to establish exam
ination boards In European ports to
determine the eligibility of immigrants
for admission.
The Secretary said he would favor a
change in the present law which ex-
cludes~boys less than 16 years old who
are unaccompanied. Under this law, he
said. a lot of good material is constant
1y going to waste.

BEATTY WELCOMES
FIRST TRAINS.
Extension of the Railroad
Means Much to the Rich
Mining Zones of Nevada
SHOWN
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO. THE CALI

BEATTY. New. Oct. 22.-With the
booming of dynamite. the Kissing of
rockets and the glare of eolored fires
Nevada's new city of Beatty gave Wig
orous welcome to the first solid pas
Senger trains operated TO its limits over
the Las Vegas and Tonopah Railroad.
This event has been considerably de-
ferred from various causes. the princi
pal one being a great scarcity Of rail-
Way material. Two days ago the track
laying crews of the company brought
its lines of steel to a temporary termi-
nal at Beatty and they have been
quickly followed by solid trains of
Lake who are making the trip to view
this new line of desert railway and to
look over the marvellous mineral zone
which It's lines bring into contact with
the outside world.
The Los Angeles and Salt Lake
trains were combined at Las Vegas,
where the main line of the Salt Lake
route was left behind and the journey
commenced over the new railway. The
Los Angeles party was carried in four
standard Pullmans and one day coach.
the train also carrying the private cars
of President ]. Ross Clark of the Las
Vegas and Tonopah and superintendent
L. P. Cullen of the Salt Lake route.
These private cars were filed with
ACPAOSChtdlANCc VI lAc press ana Tdll-
way experts who were anxious to view
this vast example of desert railway
construction. From the Mormon capt.
tai three well filed sleepers and in ad-
dition train filled with local passen-
gers made a second section Of the dedi-
cation special. One slight delay held
both trains back so that the arrival at
Beatty came after nightfau and the
programme of the welcome was of ne
cessfty curtailed. The Beattyites, how
ever, are making up in enthusiasm for
the omitted section of their plans and
the town is most enthusiastic over the
coming of the railway, which makes it
real part of the commercial world of
the Pacific Coast.
Tomorrow will in reality be the day
of celebration, and in addition the pro-
gramme calls for a thorough presenta-
tion of the claims of the Bullfrog dis
trict to the distinction of being one OF
the really great mining camps of the
West. Many of the several hundred ex-
cursionists will make a stop of several
days and will carry their Investigations
over large area of the country.
The opening of the Las Vegas and
Tonopah Railway places the BuIlfrog
district, as well as several other min
eral zones cut by its lines. in position
where their facilities are on a par with
any other district in the West.
The builders of this railway are SEN
ator Clark of Montana; his brother, J.
Ross Clark of Los Angeles, and r. c.
Kerens of st. Louis. The terminal of
the new line will be kept at Beatty for
but short time, as work is already un-
der way on the extension of the line
north TO Rhyolite and Goldfeld- But
even though it's distinction as a terni-
nal will be short. Beatty means to de-
rive every possible advantage from it's
situation.
