Rasis Of Agreement.

Washington-The basis of the agree
ment reached between President
Roosevelt, Secretary Root, Mayor
Schmitz and the members of the San
Francisco board of education on the
Japanese school controversy, made
public by Mayor Schmitz, provides that
"all children of alien races, under 1G
years of age, who speak the English
language, may be admitted to the
white schools. Special schools are to
be established for children of alien
birth who are deficient in the elements
of the English language"
Assistant City Attorney Williams, Of
San Francisco, who has acted as legal
advisor to Mayor Schmitz and the
board of education since negotiations
have been pending, said: ITO under
stand the exact meaning of the state
ment given out by Mayor Schmitz, it
will be necessary to read between the
lines. The only concession We have
made is to admit Japanese children
to the white schools, while in return
the administration has brought about
the exclusion of Japanese laborers
from this country"
Mayor Schmitz said: This is only
a temporary agreement. President
Roosevelt has given us direct and posi-
tive assurances that he will at once
begin negotiations with Japan for the
purpose of bringing about a new treaty
that will exclude Japanese laborers,
skilled and unskilled, from continental
United States"

Sentiment on Coast Has Chanued.
From the telegraphic reports I
receive from San Francisco" the
mayor said, the newspapers have
changed their tactics, and are now in
clined to give us a fair deal The
sentiment of the coast people has
changed since they are satisfied that
we are trying to bring about a solu-
ton of the school question that will
be for the best interest of the state
of California. The tone of the mes.
sages we are now receiving is praise
rather than criticism"

COPPER FOR GOLD.
Bank of England Branch Swindled in an
Unusual Way.

4 remarkable story of halfpennies be-
ing substituted for half sovercigns was
told at the Manchester city police court
recently, when Henry Douglas Amber
son, who had been employed at the Man
chester branch of the Bank of England
and after abSconding had been arrested
in Canada, was charged with stealing
t1OS1.
In stating the case for the prosecution
+. f. Smith, NJ. F., said that the pris-
oncrs duty was that of separating light
weight gold coins from those of full
weight, and he had to put the full weight
coins into bags which he had to label and
sign. On July 81 he absented himself,
and on August , the bank issued TWEEN
ty-fve bags of half sOvereigns to MesSrs.
Williams. Deacon's bank, and fourteen
of them, which had been made up by
the prisoner, were found to have been
tempered with, half sovereigns having
been replaced by the necessary number
of halfpennieS to make up the correct
weight. Two other bags in the banks
treasury which bore his signature were
also found to have been tempered with
in the same way, and the total sum
missing was tlOSl.
On September 13 the bank received Il
letter from the prisoner in Winnipeg, in
which he practically admitted his guilt
and made reference to the mad act he
had committed.
Evidence was given by number Of
bank clerks, including a retired dctec-
tive inspector, named John WO0lvcn,
who, describing his search for Anderson,
said he went down to Whitstable-On-Sea
and found the prisoners wife and family
living there. In a drawer he found t641.

His Self-Denial.

Not long ago we heard a mans little
daughter say to him: Papa, can't l
have a nickel to buy some gumY He
was a good, kind man, and he didn't re-
fuse her roughly. He patted her on the
head and said: Daughter, your old dad
can't afford such things. 1t takes all
our money to buy bread and meat and
keep you and mamma in shoes" She
looked disappointed and walked away.
Presently he started home. He felt as if
a hot one would help his appetite and
put him in a more cheerful frame Of
mind in which to greet his family, 50 he
walked in and put his right shoe upon
the footrail. "What'H you have, boysY'
he asked. EI'll take a Tom and jerry
myself" Some of them took 'er straight,
some took it diluted with setter. No
body condcscended to take beer. Our
friend pIanked down a dollar. When the
barkeeper rang up the register it showed
50 cents Thus it is that a family man
often denies himself for the benefit Of
her and the children. Lamar.
