vivid hues. such as sulfur. with a de-
llghtful range from pale yellow into
irown; peacock, so pure that it lies
exactly halfway between blue and
green: and puppies. which range from

TOXIC EDITOR SAYS
FACTS ARE 0VERDRAWN
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
TOXIC, Feb. 1.-THE Hochi Shimbun,
which has been the most outspoken of
the Japanese papers in expressing In
dignation at the action Of the San
Francisco authorities, regrets the mis-
representation Of facts transmitted to
America regarding the meeting of the
privy council. 1t ridicules the care
lessness of publishing such news with
out the full inquiry which the nature
of the subject deserves. especially now
when Japan is open to misrepresenta-
ton by ialarmists abroad.
The general feeling here among the
weli-informed, while naturally indig-
nant and resentful over the San Fran
cisco occurrence, is little concerned
about it in particular. The general at
titude of the American government, 1t
is thought, is absolutely necessary at
this moment to keep strict guard lest
they play into the hands of this party
which is evidently working to utilize
the San Francisco affair to ALLEVIATE
both nations
Japan remembers gratefully its obli-
cations toward the United States, but it
is a mistake to think that the doc
trine exists forbidding total antagon-
ism against it's benefactor under any
circumstances.

ASKS THAT THE SCHOOL
QUESTION BE SETTLED
Rv Associated Press.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Feb. 7.-Wear-
led with delays so characteristic or
Turkish officialdom, the American am
bassador. Mr.. Leishman, has suddenly
raised into prominence the question of
the recognition of the American schools
by communicating directly with the
sultan, urging the necessity of prompt
settlement of the questions.
The ministers thus ignored have been
stirred into unwonted activity and the
departments concerned, acting under
orders from the sultan, have entered
into negotiations with the embassy
The embassy is pressing matters hard
with the hope of a final adjustment,
and the frequent exchange of written
communications, as we'll as visits be-
tween officials of the ports and the
embassy, are expected soon to lead to
satisfactory results.
The question was settled in principle
nearly three years ago, but the OBJ
structiveness and dilatoriness of the
palace and on the part of the part Of
the porte delayed the official ratifica-
tion of the agreement arrived at.

FRANCE FACING
LABOR TROUBLES
New and Important Phase Of Right
of Public Employees to Organ
ize Arises In
Paris
BY Associated Press.

by ASSOClateu 1reSS
PARIS, Feb. IA new and impor-
tant phase of the question Of the right
Of public employees to organize after
the fashion of trades unions has arisen
in France. 1t ill lie remembered that
about a year ago the parce. post men
formed an association and struck for
higher wages. The government re-
fused at that time to admit the pr1n-
ciple that public servants could strike
against the state.
All strikers were discharged and
their duties were performed by soldiers
until the service could be reorganized.
Now the government has had to meet
a far more serious attempt.
The schoolmasters of several dis
tricts, notably Paris and the big in
dustrial centers, have formed associa-
tions (syndicates) upon the instigation
of the Radical Socialists and, more
over, have Joined the General Labor
federation. There was practically no
attempt to conceal the fact that the
purpose of the organization Of teachers
was the propagation Of the doctrines
of anti-militarism as expounded by
Herve and his followers, International
ism as preached by Jaures and the
general idea of the solidarity of the
interests of the working as against
those of the capitalistic class. 80
After considering the subject the
government, which fully realized that
the object of the promoters of the or
ganizations was to concentrate public
education In the hands of the advo-
Gates of "internationalism," promptly
forbade teachers ;yndicates," but as
the French trades union laws are very
broad. some additional legislation on
the subject will probably be necessary.

Women thronged the corridors and

Failed to Keep Promise
BY Associated Press,

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-Represen-
tative Murphy today introduced bill
to repeal the act admitting Oklahoma

constitutional convention of Oklahoma
and Indian Territory had failed to
comply with the conditions of the joint
statehood act. The bill follows:
Whereas, the constitutional conven-
tfon of the proposed state of Oklahoma
now in session at Guthrie, Okla, failed
and refused after organization to adopt,
on behalf of the people of said proposed
state. the constitution of the United
States as required by the act of con-
gress; and
Whereas, by such failure the said
convention is unauthorized to form a
constitution and state government for
said proposed state; and
Whereas, said constitutional conven-
ton is attempting to evade the act of
congress by making a distinction in
civil and political rights on account of
race and color; and
Whereas, said convention has squan-
dered the peoples money appropriated
by congress in unnecessary political
chickering's, thereby leaving no fund to
hold an election for the ratification or
rejection of the proposed constitution;
and
Whereas, the said convention has
wholly disregarded and ignored the dis
bursing of government funds as pro-
vided by congress; and
Whereas, the said convention has
demonstrated it's unftness and incapa-
city to frame a constitution for said
proposed state; be 1t enacted
That the act entitled an act to en-
able the people of Oklahoma and of the
Indian Territory to form a state gov
ernment, etc., approved June 16, 1906,

SAYS UNITED STATES
WILL NOT INTERFERE
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Feb. IA dispatch to the
Tribune from Washington says:
Just at the present time there is not
much prospect of intervention by the
United States in the affairs Of the Con-
go Free state. Some weeks ago there
was a strong disposition manifested
by the administration to do something
for the people in that part of Africa,
who seemed to be the victims of q hor-
rible oppression.
If action could have been secured
in December II Is likely the senate
would have passed the Lodge resolution
and the president would have taken
some diplomatic steps to secure a con-
cert of action by the European nations
Since then, however, danger of Euro
pean complications and the possible
futility of any help for the natives
have become more and more apparent,
until at the present time some of the
most prominent of the Republican SEN
ators seem to have lost interest In the
Congo question and disinclination to
interfere also is manifested In the vi
cinity of the White House and the
state department.
