BOSSES Do NOT
REPRESENT STATE

When Mayor Schmitz of San Fran
cisco, unoer indictment on the charge
of accepting bribes, and members of
the San Francisco school board reach
Washington in response to a telegram
from President Roosevelt, inviting
them to the national capital for a con-
ference on the question of excluding
Japanese from public schools they will
find there a telegram indicating that
the officials of San Francisco, or even
the entire northern city, do not repre-
sent the whole of California or the
Pacific coast.
A telegram was sent to President
Roosevelt by the Los Angeles cham
ber of commerce, and 1t was forwarded
for the purpose of showing the presi-
dent that the radical anti-Japanese at
titude of San Francisco does not repre-
sent the sentiment of the entire Pa
cific coast.
The chamber of commerce, while be-
ing opposed to coolie immigration and
deprecatinG the custom of sending
adult Japanese to school with white
children, considered that wrong inn
preston was being given on the gen.
eral sentiment on the coast toward
the Japanese and the body believed
that it voiced the opinion of the citi-
zens o. Los Angeles that the presi-
dents demand that the treaty rights
of the Japanese be Upheld.
THE chamber of commerce thought
that an entirely wrong impression was
being made by the radical partisans Of
the San Francisco school board" said
PRESIDENT w. j. Washburn. I'VE did
not think their utterances reflected the
true sentiment of the people of the
coast and we so informed the presi-
dent"
Further than this President Wash
burn declined to discuss the telegram
and the chamber refused to make pub
lie the text of the message.

President Receives Telegram

WASHINGTON Feb. 6.--The presi-
dent today received a telegraphic copy
of a resolution adopted yesterday by
the Los Angeles chamber of commerce
upon the Japanese school question,
which expresses the belief that the pub
lie sentiment of California, especially
of the southern part, upon the question
of the exclusion of the Japanese from
the general public school system of the
state has been to some extent misrep-
resented and is largely misunderstood.
The sentiment Is expressed that on
the main question, whatever may be
the diversity OF opinion upon the con-
stitutional and legal phases, the board
is assured that the general trend Of
public opinion in Southern California
is decidedly adverse to any discrimi-
nation against the japanese as a peo-
pie in the matter of public school priv
ileges and they believe that this opin-
ion is based upon considerations OF
equity and justice and Is held alto
gether Independently Of the attitude
which the Japanese government has
assumed or may assume In regard to
the question"

SUGGESTIONS for Motorists

If your brake fails to work at criti-
cal moment, run into something cheap.
If you desire to make an impression
on a young lady, run over her.
Common humanity dictates that you
stop when the tires are out of wind.
BY seating your best girl in front
with the chauffeur you will have some
thing pleasant to look forward to dur
ing the ride.
Should your auto overturn leave your
seat Immediately.
If a man gets in your way and is
run down he should apologize. If he is
dead demand an apology from his wife.

Baron kuroki of the Japanese army
has been abandoned. The war depart
ment which accepted the invitation of

fleets in Hampton Roads and high Of
ficials OF the American army and navy
have seTt regrets. Mr. Tucker is in

night q statement on the subject was
refused. 1t is understood that other

Washington, May 11.-No one at the
Japanese embassy tonight would
vouchsafe an explanation Of the calling
off of .he invitations to the dinner Of
Henry st. George Tucker to General
kuroki and the other military and
naval officers from foreign lands now
in this country to attend the James
town exposition. At the nome of Sec
retary Taft it was stated that he had

declared that ne knew nothing about
he matter. Inquiries in other quarters

ly entertained that there was a conflict

President Tucker left here tonight

possible to obtain a statement from

meat.
/. The coming conference of republi-

in administration circles and from re-
marks made by cabinet officers after
meeting today the inference is that
this came up for large share of dis
cussion.
The position of the Taft people,
from what this member of the cabinet
said, is believed to be that the presi-
dency and the senatorship in Ohio
should be considered separately. Sec

thugs, called in Paris "Apaches" who
cut fire hose, pillaged the houses from
which the occupants had been turned
out by the firemen and stabbed one
policeman who was trying to hold the
