scHMITz DESCRIBES POSITION
Mayor Grants Interview Concerning
Japanese School Problem
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Feb. S.-"Not that love
San Francisco less, but my country
more was born in San Francisco
and am COR her first, last and always,
but still above all am an American.
I would concede my position rather
than see it become injurious to the
country"
These words, uttered by Mayor Eu-
gene SchnitZ of San Francisco in chi
cago, explain the position he now holds
on the Japanese segregation question
that has involved the national govern
ment and the people of San FRANCISCO
in the present controversy.
Mayor Schmitz, four members OF the
board of education of San Francisco
and the superintendent of the San
Francisco schools spent three hours IN
Chicago yesterday, en- route to WASH
ington, D. c., in response to an invi-
tation from President Roosevelt.
1--WE have prepared no case be-
cause we don't know exactly what Is
the purport of our mission" saidMayor
Schmitz. "The president did not say
what the nature of the hearing would
be further than that we are to have a
discussion on the Japanese matter.
"I suppose it will be discussed be-
fore the president and his cabinet. We
probably can give a good deal of in
formation concerning the demand of
the people of San Francisco that has
not yet reached the president
II cannot say that the matter will
reach an entirely satisfactory settle
ment during our visit, but 1 hope it
will The law, as a mater of fact, is
nothing new, but the enforcement OF
it seems to have created an agitation.
The law to segregate the Mongolians
in the schools was made in 1881, but
the Japanese claim they are not Mon
golians. The Chinese have always been
segregated in the public schools. The
Japanese think they are better than
the Chinese. 1 don't care to criticise
President Roosevelt. 1t is simply a
question of national treaty rights and
state rights"
Concerning the reclaiming of the dew
astated city, the mayor said the prog
ress made is almost beyond compre-
hension. "a building has been built
for every forty-five minutes since the
quake" he said. Wages are high for
skilled labor and living expenses are
naturally high in proportion"

POISONED BULLET
KILLS GOVERNOR
S. A. ALExANDERovsKY SHOT
BY ASSASSIN
Unidentified Young Man Takes Three
Lives at Pensea, Russia, and
Commits Suicide In
Theater Loft
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
PENSEA, Russia, Feb. SIS. A. AL
exandrovsky, governor Of Pensea, was
shot and killed by n young man as he
was leaving the theater last night. In
q desperate attempt to escape, the as
sassin also killed the assistant chief OF
police and a policeman, and wounded
the manager of the theater. Before the
terrorist could be captured he shot
himself, and during the night died In
hospital without being Identified.
The bullets which he used in his re-
volver were discovered to be poisoned.
M. Alexanderovsky, who was well
known as chief commissioner of the
Red Cross in the field during the war
between Russia and Japan, had just
stepped out of the oor of the theater
when youth pushed his way through
the crowd and shot him in the neck.
He fell dead on the spot. The assist
ant chief of police, who was s anding
near the entrance, tried to draw his
revolver, but was shot dead by the ter
rorist.
Seeing it was impossible to get
through the crowds outside the build
ing, the murderer dashed into the the
ater, firing wildly. The manager at
tempted to grapple with him and the
murderer fired at him, but the shot
missed the manager and killed a po-
liceman.
Wounds the Manager
In a second attempt to capture the
assassin the manager was severely
wounded. The terrorist fed through
what he believed to be one of the exits,
but found himself in the ladies' cloak
room. An attepdant, realizing the sit
uation, pointed to some stairs as a
means of egress. and as soon as the
assassin disappeared the attendant
locked the door behind him. The stairs,
however LED to a loft, and the MUIR
derer subsequently was found uncon-
scious from a bullet wound from which
he died in the hospital.
M. Alexanderov5ky was an official of
the finance ministry of Russia. When
inaugurated in 1903 he was appointed
commissioner general to the st. Louis
exposition.
He arrived in New York August Is
of the same year for a fifteen days
stay in this country in connection with
the work of establishing the Russian
exhibit. On his return he was placed
in charge of The Red Cross field work
and in February, 1904, started for the
Far East and established his headquar-
ters at Harbin. In December he was
replaced by Prince Vassilitchkoff as
head of the Red Cross in the field, his
removal, it was said at the time, being
due to scandals when had arisen in
connection with the Red Cross service.
General Kuropatkin. however, offered
him high position in the hospital
service, which NJ. Alexanderovsky de-
clined. Hhe Indignantly denied the
charges of misappropriation of Red
Cross funds and challenged his accus-
| ers, who. however, refused to fight him
The name of Governor Alexanderov-
sky was mentioned last November In
connection with ,he grain scandals be-
cause Of which M. Garko was relieved
from the direction OF the relief and a
commission appointed to take charge.

VACCINATION LAW
STILL IN FORCE
Sackett's Bill Repeating the Existing
Measure Defeated by Vote of 81
to 27 - Assembly Floor
Scene of Battle
BY Associated Press.

BY Associa ted Press.
SACRAMENTO, Feb. S.-The fight
between the anti-vac~.r tionists and
the champions of vaccination was
waged on the assembly l-oor for over
two hours this afternoon and resulted
in victory for vaccination.
Sacketts bill repeating the present
general vaccination law was defeated
by a vote of 81 ayes and 27 noes. The
bill was lost by four vote, as it re-
quires IL votes to carry a measure.
Notice of a reconsideration of the vote
was given.
Eshelman of Ber!. eley had introduced
bill making it a misdemeanor for
school authorities to make vaccination
a prerequisite to admission to the
schools This was buried so long in
the committee on public health and
quarantine, composed of three physi-
clans and an undertaken, tl.at Sackett
presented a measure to repeal the en-
tire law. Sackett's measure was sent
to the committee on education, which
reported 1t favorably.
How Law Works
The school super, l.endents of the
state and other EDUCATIONAL authorities
have been the prime movers in having
the law repealed, claiming that thou
bdnuS OF were DelllB ueillcu an
education on account Uf 1t.
Sackett, Eshelman. Pyle, Percival and
others made hard fight for the bill.
Percival is the only Christian Science
member of the assembly
Sackett said the efficiency of vaccin-
alton was not the issue; it was merely
a question of removing the burden of
the enforcement of the law from the
school authorities and place 1t else
where. He declared that there were
102, ,898 children of school age in the
state who were not attending public
schools.
"It is death to the education of thous-
ands OF children" said he. For Gods
sake for Gods sake remove the bar
rier."
Sharp Debate Follows
. Cotton declared that the school super
intendents and teachers were attempt
ing to shirk their duty by wanting the
law repealed, to which cackett hotly
replied: 1.-The educational men and
women In this state are not all fools
when they ask that this burden be
do we need lawyers to tell US our duty"
Saekett is school superintendent.
Eshelman said that one-third of the
children in Berkeley were being kept
out of the schools by reason of the vac
clnation law and declared that some
counties in the state openly defied II.
Pyle stated that more deaths had oc-
CURED In California In the past ten
years from vaccination than from
smallpox. Percival made r. eloquent

"CURLY BOSS" WILL STAND
TRIAL IN NEAR FUTURE

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb 8.-By a
stipulation agreeable to both sides it
was arranged today in Judge Dunnes
court to dispense with the examination
of the grand jurors as to their alleged
bias and prejudice in the trial of Ruef
and Dinan for conspiracy and the trial
of Dinan for perjury.
This brings these cases practically
to the same point as that reached in
the Ruef and Schmitz extortion cases,
and the actual trial will probably begin

MRS. HARRY THAW
TELLS HER STORY
IN ITS ENTIRETY
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Feb. S.-Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw again today was the central
figure at her husbands trial. She was
still on the stand, her direct eXamina-
ton unfinished, when the usual week.
end adjournment until Monday morning
was taken.
Picking up the threads of her life's
story where she had dropped them the
evening before, the girl wife of the de-
fendant-always, she declared, telling
her story just as she had related 1t to
Harry Thaw from time to time-brought
the narrative down to her wedding In
Pittsburg, April 4. 1905, and their re-
turn to New York following a honey
moon trip in the west,
She declared she had heard White
call to her on the street once after this,
and that on another occasion when she
passed him in a cab she noticed his cab
turn around and follow her in the direc-
ton of a doctors office, where she was
going to have her throat treated.
Mrs. Thaw had taken upNthe story at
the time of her return from Europe in
October 1903, following her refusal of
Thaw's offer of marriage on the ground
which she related yesterday. On Mon
day she may be called upon to finish
the relation of the events which Is
claimed by the defense brought on the
explosive impulse in the diseased brain
of the defendant and caused the killing
of Stanford White.

Doubts Cleared Away

While today's testimony lacked the
personal quality which made yester-
days recital so dramatic, impelling,
enthralling and pathetic, it served TO
clear away some of the doubts and In
ferences which remained from the in
complete details as to the full extent
of the revelations she claims to have
made to her husband. There were repe-
titions, too, at the suggestion of coun-
sci and incidents which had not been
gone over in the first years of Mrs
Thaw's acquaintance with Stanford
White We're brought out in completion
of the life story.
District Attorney Jerome, who had
Throughout silently listened to the
young wifes statements, sent a thrill
of excitement through the court room
late in the day by vigorously protest.
ing against this defamation of the
dead.
SIS there no limit" he exclaimed ito
the aspersions that are to be cast upon
this man? Your honor well knows
cannot, under the law, controvert any
statement this witness might make
against the memory of Stanford
White"
In the most bitterly sarcastic vein
Mr.. Jerome spoke of this tattle of the
Tenderloin, and declared the court had
the right to limit such testimony, until
competent evidence has been adduced
here to show that this man is, or was,
of unsound mind. We don't know
whether this defendant ever was in
sane" he concluded.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-02-09
Question Brings Protest

The question which called out the
vehement protest from the district at
torney was addressed to Mrs. Thaw by
Mr.. Delmas, and it's purport was
whether or not Harry Thaw had at any
time told her about other girls who had
met fate similar to yours at the
hands of this man."
What man." snapped Mr.. Jerome.
Stamford White" replied Mr.. Del
mas with the GOODNESS of voice and
manner characteristic of him; and then
he added still in the same low tone,
"Who else?"
Justice Fitzgerald held that the dis
trict attorneys suggestion was a good
one and he thought the defense should
lay a broader foundation to show in
sanity before proceeding along the
lines surrounded by Mr. Delmas' ques-
ton.
I'VE will proceed to do this as soon as
possible" announced Mr.. Delmas.
Mrs. Thaw declared today that Stan
ford White, during the year which fol-
lowed her experience in the room of the
mirrored walls repeatedly sought to
have her visit him alone.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-02-09
Wanted to See Her Alone

"I told Harry" she said, that Mr..
White had begged me, had pleaded and
cried and scolded and done everything
he could to make me come to see him
alone. | refused and he told me I was
cruel and that 1 was cold as a fish and
not a human being. / told Mr. White
did not care to trust him.
After my return from Europe and
during the months l would not see
Harry Thaw because of the dreadful
things Mr.. White and his friends told
me about him." she declared "Thaw
accused me of improper relations with
the architect.
Il told him it was lie, and 1 had
not" she testified, with an emphatic
show of feeling.
The defense had Mrs. Thaw tell OF
her acquaintance with Jack Barrymore,
the actor, Mr.. Barrymore was in the
court room one day during the early
part of the trial at the instance of the
district attorney, it was said. MI
Delmas asked Mrs. Thaw today to tell
what she had told MIR. Thaw of her
acquaintance with the actor.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-02-09

She said she had first met Barrymore
at a party given by Stanfor White the
year following her Introduction to the
architect.
81 thought him very nice" she frank
ly said. lone day at Mr.. Whites stu
dio he said; Evelyn, will you marry
me?' l said L don't know He asked
me a second time, and again l said: I
don't know and everybody laughed.
Mr. White told me 1 would be very fool
ish to marry Mr. Barrymore, and my
mother said so, too, and we all quar-
relied and the upshot Of the whole thing
was that Mr.. White said 1 ought to be
sent away 20 school, ard was, to New
Jersey"
After leading the witness to tell, in
chronological order of the incidents
of her wedding with Thaw in Pittsburg,
