Skilled and UnskiIIed Japanese
Cannot Enter America.
SETTLES RACIAL AGITATION
American Laborers May Not Enter
Japan, Nor Japanese Workers
America IL President Roosevelt
Fuifills Promise.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-The Jap
anese children are to be admitted to
the white schools Of San Francisco un-
der certain restrictions. Skilled and
uskilled laborers coming from Japan
are barred from the main land of the
United States and American laborers,
skilled and unskilled, are to be ex-
cluded from Japan. This is the basis
of an agreement between the Pres
ident and Mayor Schmitz and the San
Francisco school board as an adjust
ment of the anti-Japanese agitation
brought about by the segregation of
Japanese children in San Francisco
schools. The agreement means that
the schools of San Francisco will be
conducted in the same manner as they
were before the board Of education
adopted the resolution last October,
providing for the segregation of Jap
anese children in San Francisco will
be conducted in the same manner as
they were before the board of educa-
ton adopted the resolution last Octo-
Der providing for the segregation of
Japanese, except that adult Japanese
who are in primary grades must con-
tinue to attend Oriental schools and
Japanese children under 16 will be ad-
mitted to classes with white children
of their own ages.

on Previous oeeasion---Search-

SPOKANE, Feb. ls.--A Wallace,
Idaho, special to the Spokesman Re-
view says that the feature OF the day
OF the Steve Adams trial was the evil
dence OF Archie Phillips. He testified
that Tyler told him OF threats made
by Adams and Jack Simpkins, but he
was not allowel to state the nature
OF these threats, Phillips next went
on to state how on one occasion he
saw Adams and Simpkins coming up
the trail toward Tyler's cabin. Adams
who was armed with a Winchester
stopped hundred yards from the cab
In and Simpklns, who carried no wea-
pons In his hands, went about 100 yards
beyond the house. Tyler and Phillips
sat on log In front of the cabin and
soon bullets began to whistle past
their ears, unpleasantly close. They
got up and went inside the cabin. Ten
shots were fired, four from UP the
creek whore Simpkins had gone, from
revolver and six from where he saw
Adams, from rifle. He could distin-
guish the difference between the wea-
pons by the sound of the explosion
Phillips was the last man to see Ty-
Ter alive and testified that on the
night before he disappeared he had
eaten his supper at his cabin. Mrs.
Phillips gave Adams a bottle of horse
radish and identified 1t as the one pro-
duced In court. The shooting de-
scribed by Phillips occurred about a
week before Adams disappeared
In company with Frenchman
named Boule he had tried to find Ty-
Ter. Boule went to Santa to tell of
Tyler's disappearance, Boule returned
on August 10, and 1t was decided to
make big search the next day. Early
the next day Phillips heard fusillade
of shots which killed Boule and wound
ed Lindsay, his companion. Boule's
body was found with five shots In 1t.
Phillips returned to Santa with his
wife and child and the sheriff and
Boule's body was discovered within
thirty feet of the simpkins cabin by
the sheriff.

THREATS OF WAR.
Cuba Would Play Part of Daniel to
Americas Goliath.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1S.--A dispatch
to the Herald from Havana, says that
open, signed threats of war against
the United States If 1t does not get out
of Cuba, are now being made by the
leaders of the Liberal party to whom
everything has been given by the
American provisional government, ex-
cept absolute control. The party is
Unsuitable and impatient over the de-
lay of the American withdrawal when

These leaders, the dispatch says. re-

might be surer guarantee of peace
than the unkindled rule of any Cuban
faction.

Thaw's own story OF the killing Of

to DR.. Britton ID. Evans. an alienist,
last August, in the Tombs. DR.. Ev-
ans today repeated the prisoners
words to the jury that Is trying Thaw

fought hard last week against the In

defense say Is conclusive proof that
Thaw did not know his act was wrong.
only the testifying physicians had de-
clared that In their opinion Thaw was
Insane at the time he made the state
ments. However, the rules Of evidence
permitted the introduction OF the pris-
oner's words. In further bulwarking
their contention that Thaw was In
sane when he killed White, the de-
fendant's counsel today succeeded In
placing before the jury the will exc
cuted by Thaw on the night of his
marriage. in April. 1905. and codicil
executed at the same time. Again
Jerome fought the evidence, but he sig
nificantly withdrew his objections af-
ter Evans had given his opinion that
Thaw was insane at the time he exc
cuted the bill. The fact that the dis
trict attorney seemed disposed to let
in testimony of every character, pro-
vided there is preliminary opinion from
the witness that the man was of un-
sound mind at the time to which the
testimony refers, was taken today as
further indicating that Jerome may,
at psychological moment, If he
deems his hand strong enough, de-
mand the appointment of a commits
sion to pass on Thaw's present state
OF mind. The will and codicil We're
offered in evidence today as cumula-
tive testimony of Thaw's mental un-
soundess prior to the killing Of White.
In his will Thaw provided that his
executors set apart $4,000 and more If
necessary to investigate his death, In
case 1t was not a natural one, or was
In any way suspicious, and for the
prosecution Of persons who should be
found instrumental in his taking off.
In codicil Thaw left to a lawyer
at Pittsburg $500 to be used in Sc
curing redress from White and another
person whose name was not allowed to
be read, for the benefit of four young
women, who, Thaw declared, had been
victims of degrading assaults" in the
"house furnished and used for orgies
by Stanford White and other inhuman
scoundrels." Thaw also bequeathed
sums OF $4,000 each to DR.. Parkhurst,
Anthony Comstock and lawyer

At 9:15 this morning the House con-
vened and at once resumed the work
of passing House bills.
A peculiar sitaution exists in regard
to final passage of House bills now.
The Senate has laid on the table the
joint resolution introduced and passed
by the House for adjournment early
Sunday morning. The Senate wants to
adjourn Friday evening and hopes to
bring the House to this way Of think
ing. But If the Legislature does ad-
journ Friday night, all the House bills
considered today are being taken up
illegally and the House is only vast

SALEM, Ore. Feb. 1s.-Governor
Chamberlain has vetoed S. B. 1874,
Smith, providing for selection of two
of the present normal schools by a
Board Of Regents. His action throws
the normal school situation In chaos.
This veto may be sustained in the SEN
ate by combination of normal school
senators, for sustaining the veto would
make 1t too late to introduce another
two school measure and would save
all four schools until next session.
The veto says that the bill would not
be sustained in the courts if it should
become law and the board should
attempt to designate which two nor
mails be left. The power of making
the selection Is delegated by the Con-
stitution to the Legislature, and that
body cannot, under a we'll established
principle of law, delegate its power to
any man or set of men.
There is no reason" says the mes
sage, why the Legislature should not
itself eliminate two of the normals, in
stead of trying to shirk it's duty and
so avoid the responsibility"
This Smith bill slipped through the
Senate despite the opposition of the
normal school combination. The COM
bine, however, is strong enough, stand
ing together, to sustain the veto, thus
killing the bill and giving all four nor
mails q chance,
The Senate adopted resolution this
afternoon to adjourn one minute past
midnight, Friday. This means that af-
ter today, no bill can pass both Houses
without a two thirds vote.
