There Is little love lost between the
Chinese students who are iocking in
icrowds to Toxic to learn western civil
i~ization at second hand and their Japa-
nese fellows. The Chinese students live
their own life apart from the japanese,
with whom they mix as little as they
lean. This Chinese mode OF life is wholly
repugnant to Japanese feeling. The
Chinese students refuse TO smoke Japa-
nese cigarets. which have the names

proclamation to burn their sacred letters.

DECISION BY VANDEVANTER
Court of Appeals Reverses Federal
Judge at Denver in Accident
Insurance Case.

st. Louis, May pa decision was hand
ed down by Judge Vandevanter in the
United States court of appeals today
holding that wound within the mean
ing of an accident insurance policy. COW
ering blood poisoning contracted by a
physician in a surgical operation must
be an abrasion of the skin or membrane
whereby germs are introduced into the
blood. Conversely, the court decides that
mere contact of particles of septic mat
ter with a membrane where no eruption
or rupture is caused is not a wound. al
though infection and injury or death may
follow.
The case was that of John B. ThOmp-
son of Denver. the dentist. against the FL
deity & Casualty company of New York
in which a judgment of 81 ,009 against the
insurance company was obtained in the
federal court at Denver. This is reversed
by Judge Nandevanter's decision. While

Let us make this a fight to the knife
to see that no federal officer, regardless

bound to win. All the money, efforts and
influence which can be brought to bear
by the officehoiders cannot stem the tide

SAN FRANCISCO
CAN TAKE ROAD
Geary Street Railway Bound to
Turn Over the Line to the
City Upon Demand.

San Francisco, May 20--District attor-
ney Langdon today is taking steps to
cause the surrender of the Geary street
railway to the city. This action would be
in accord with legislation taken about
two years ago, when the franchise of this
road having expired, a temporary license
to continue operations was granted, with
the reservation that, upon demand. the
road would be turned over to the city.
Resultant of bond election, the last mu-
nicipal budget carried an appropriation of
1900 for municipal assumption of the
road. The Geary Street company. since
the expiration of its franchise, has been
paying into the city treasury a stipulated
percentage of its gross earnings. This
revenue was cut off by the street rail-
way strike which went into effect May I.
A resolution was recently introduced at
meeting of the board of supervisors de-
claring the Geary Street cOmpanys per-
nit to be forfeited This resolution has
not been acted upon. The district attor
ney's action. if action be taken. will be in
support of this resolution.
