Washington, Dec. Looming larg
or than ever the Japanese question
overshadows most OF the other prob
lens before Washington. No one
would be surprised to see President
Roosevelt bring the whole matter to
the attention Of Congress at an early
date.
The president has promised redress
and Secretary Root has made the
point that under the treaty OF 1894
the Japanese have the same rights In
the public schools Of California as the
children Of California have. He also
has sent a cable message to Toxic
promising them the treatment accord
ed the people Of the most friendly Eur
opean nations. The children Of Euro
peans, are Of course, given access to
the California schools.
On the top Of this comes Mr.. Metcalf
secretary Of commerce and labor, who
was dispatched to California when the
president took his trip south, with
the official information that the gov
eminent can not make good this prom
Use. At least, says Secretary Metcalf,
the government cannot do It without
perhaps using the strong arm Of the
United States army and the United
States navy for the purpose Of CO.
ercing the people of California.
San Francisco, Dec. 1.--Acoording
to a statement Of Harry B. Miller,
United States consul general in Yo-
kohama. Japan is prepared to use its
military and naval strength, II Reces-
sary, to fight the discrimination that
has been made by the San Francisco
board Of education against the little
brown men who want to attend the
public schools.
1.-THE Japanese are highly incensed
over this affair."" says Miller, "and to
save their national dignity are willing
to go to war. They feel that they are
powerful in their military and naval
departments, and open comment is
made on the probability Of show Of
arms to compel the American people
to cease discriminating against the
japanese"
San Francisco is sure to resist ev-
cry attempt to interfere with its
school action, contendlng simply that
the japanese who attend the schools
are mostly men and that they should
not be allowed to associate as school
fellows with American children.

Testimony Showing How the Stand
ard OIL Company Killed Com
petition in Brooklyn.
STATEMENT FROM MR.LlBBY
He Says the Trust's "Aggressive In
dustriaI Policy" Entities II to
the encouragement of the
Government.

New York, Dec. 1.-The Interstate
commerce commission began a hear
ing Friday to require the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western Railroad
company to show cause why 1t should
not make deliveries Of oil to whole
sale dealers in Brooklyn. The COM
plainants against the Delaware, Lack
awanna and Western Railroad are
Preston and Davis, Independent deal
ers. Counsel for the compliments
told the commission that Preston and
Davis had paid the railroad company
more than $4,000 a year for OIL
freightage until the service was sud
denly discontinued.
Council for the railroad company
declared that the discontinuance or
delivery Of tank cars at the Wallabout
terminal near where the Preston and
Davis company is located was due to
the danger Of fire.
P. J. Flynn, general freight agent
of the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western said that the first complaint
made against the delivery Of tank oil
at s..e Wallabout terminal was made
by the Standard Oil officials in 1908.
Former Senator David F. Davis,
one of the members Of the complain
ing irm said that the Mehlen Family
Oil company started in business about
the time his company did and It de-
veloped that this company belonged
to the Standard Oil company. Soon
he declared, the Standard Oil company
increased its sale price to his firm,
though the Mehlen Family Oil COM
pany never raised its retail price. In
1898, the price of oil was about double
what it had been when his company
began business few years before.
1.-THE conditions became such that
1t looked as II we would have to go
out Of business" said the witness. Il
went to see the officials of the Stan
dard Oil. 1t told them that the price
was excessive and that 1t was mat
ter of life and death with US. They
told me that the price set would stand
and we could take it or leave it."
The witness said that soon after
this interview he arranged to obtain
oil from an independent company and

FIND OF ANCIENT PAPYRI
Egy ptian Explorers Discover Frag-

II Consists Of $50 Boxes Ranging IN
Date form Second Century BIC.
to sixth Century A. D.

Chicago, Nov. 30.--A cable dis
patch to the Tribune from London
Says:
1t is now possible to give further
details Of the remarkable find Of
papyrI as result or the efforts Of
Doctors Crenfell and HUNT, OF the
Greco-Roman Branch Of the Egyp'
Exploration Fund at oxrhynchus
The find consists Of no fewer than
1870 boxes Of papyri ranging In date
from the second century 3. c., to the
sixth century, A. D. They comprise
all classes Of literature, many frag-
ments Of lost or even unknown clas-
steal works and some most impor-
tant fragments unknown to Christian
literature.
The most important find is a vel
lum leaf containing As lines of COS
pei which has a variation from the
authorized version. The subject 10
the visit Of Jesus and His disciples
to the Temple Of Jerusalem and their
meeting there with the Pharisee whit
rebukes them with their failure t.
perform the necessary ceremonial OF
publication. In the dialogue which
follows which resembles in some re-
spects Matthew XIII, 25, the Phar'
see describes with considerable full
ness and detail the formalities he has
observed, where-upon JESUS deliveries
an eloquent. crushing repIy, contrast
ing outward with inward purity.
"other Christian fragments Of con-
siderable value were found, including
q vellum leaf Of the fourth or fifth
century of the lost Greek original Of
the Acts Of st. Peter, which are
known only in Latin, and a leaf of
papyrus Of an unknown version of
the Acts Of st. John, which differs in
many respects from that Of Keno
phone"
1t will take long time to unroll,
join, and examine this important
find, all of which has been removed
to England. but the explorers are to
be congratulated on their brilliant
harvest Of literature.
