Doesn't Want Compromise

IT appreciate highly" he said tonight,
1.-The attitude of the president, cabinet
and the Japanese embassy for bringing
about an amicable settlement of the
school controversy, and am also salts
fled with Mayor Schmitz and the men,
hers of the board of education for their
conciliatory attitude.
81 am here as the attorney for the
San Francisco school children in the
federal court, to look after the Japanese
end of the situation, and In this ca
pacity l wish to state that the japanese
want no compromise on the school chill
dren's rights. If thirty-nine Japanese
boys and girls between IS and 20 years
of age are demoralizing the 10000 boys
and girls OF all nationalities in the pub
lie schools, the ooard of education is
welcome to make a rule so that the
adults over the age of 16 years shall
not attend the public schools, but this
rule must be applicable to American,
English, Japanese, German, French.
Italian and Russian children. 1 am at
a loss, however, to find any reason why
twenty-eight boys and twenty-siX girls
from 6 to 15 years old should be seq
regated as demoralizing $4,000 children,
so as to jeopardize 350,000 population Of
San Francisco.
Japanese have been Japanese for the
age of commerce and interdependent
state system of the world cannot be
legislated on race prejudices.
Regarding Coolies
TT is said by some California labor
leaders that there are 10000 japanese
I'm San Francisco, and that they clamor
about the exclusion of the Japanese
coolies because of the fear that 10000
Japanese in Hawaii may come to San
Francisco in course of time. To this
fear let me ask what If all the Japanese
In Hawaii should land in San Francisco
in one day. 1t took more than twenty
years to place 10000 Japanese coolies in
San Francisco and Hawaii You know
that in one year you have had and are
having 153.74S Russian Jews, Hebrew
invasion, and 42,261 Magyars, the
descendants of the Cenral Asian cru
SADIE, not speaking of European coolies
landing by millions.
Japanese school children I'm San
Francisco do not understand what the
board of education means by saying
compromise, because the word COM
promise means the reciprocal abate-
ment of rights. The Japanese children
have nothing to give. Let the Japanese
children go to the public school or else
proceed with the case, one represented
by myself in the United States circuit
court, and by the United States govern
ment in the state supreme court.

Remarkable Nerve.

Philadelphia, Pa, May % =. Seldom

severe test as in the case of Patrick
Greedy, and rarely has a man displayed

With eyes wide open and totally indif-
ferent 10 the terrible pain he must have
been suffering, Greedy sloically watched
surgeon aIDputate both his legs, the
right at the hip and the left just above
the knee. When the operation was over
he thanked the doctor and the attendants
ard after assuring them that he would be

and went TO sleep. He awoke this
mCr1ing IN cheerful spirits aud asked
his nurse how he was getting along.
When told that il was too early to say
anything d. fl nie about his condition he
replied: "Well, / feel all right, so
guess I'll be out of here soon."

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear. There is only
one way to cure deafness, and that is by con.
stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by
an inHamed condition Of the mucous lining
ct the Eustschian Tube. When this tube is
iuhamed you have rumbliDg sound or i'm
perfect hearing. and when it is entirely
closed Defines is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition. hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out Of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
inhamed condition Of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case Of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.
