surveyor of the Port of San Francisco.

st. Johns resignation was asked for
to take effect on March l. but he re-
fused to resign and exerted influence
to remain in office. The Treasury De-
partment meanwhile passed under the
control of Secretary cortelyou and he
was unable until this week to reach
ST. Johns case. Orders have been sent
to San Francisco which will divorce
ST. John from his job, unless he has
already resigned
Treasury officials are beginning to
wonder what kind of adhesive plaster
ST. John wears. They say. however,
that all predictions as TO his losing his
job will come true this week.

By Ira E. Bennett

WASHINGTON. March H.
Negotiations between the United
States and Japan for an exclusion
treaty have come to halt on account
of the failure thus far of the San
Francisco Board of Education to carry
into effect its agreement with the Presi-
dent to admit japanese children to the
public schools. The threatened enact
ment of anti Japanese Legislation by
California has also operated to block
the efforts of Secretary Root and En-
bassador Aoki to reach an agreement.
The President has accordingly re-
quested Governor Gillett of California
TO withhold his approval of any legis-
Iation affecting the Japanese until a
letter relating to the situation can
reach him.
Secretary Root was at the White
House until nearly midnight Saturday
comforting with the President on the
Japanese situation. During the confer
ence a telegram was drafted and sent
to Governor Gillett asking him not to
sign bills passed by the Legislature af-
fecting the Japanese and advising him
that an explanatory letter would be
forwarded. The letter was then writ
ten and mailed. The President and
Secretary Root did not know at that
time the California Legislature would
adjourn on March u. and it is possi-
Bile that the contents of the letter will
be telegraphed to Governor Gillett at
Sacramento.

SCHOOL BOARD REMIss

In his letter the President explains
that the Japanese Government is will
ing to enter into negotiations for an
exclusion treaty, but insists upon the
preliminary condition that Japanese
children shall be admitted into the pub
ance with the assurance given by
Mayor Schmitz and the Board of Edu-
cation when in Washington. Japan
gave its consent TO the enactment of
the amendment to the immigration bill
excluding Japanese laborers from the
mainland OF the United States. but it
was with the understanding that the
school controversy should be settled
first.
Thus far the Board of Education
is feared here that the California Leg
islature may enact such laws as ito
prevent the board from admitting dap-
anese children into the schools. If this
is done the japanese Government Nill
not only decline to enter into negotia-
t1onS Tor treaty, Dut IL VIII Wltnnold
its consent to the enforcement of the
exclusion amendment
1t is understood that Governor Gill
lett was advised by the President that
he would not put the exclusion amend
ment into operation unless the San
Francisco Board of Education proved
Its good faith by admitting Japanese
children into the schools. Ii the board
is prevented from doing this by new
legislation it viii be inferred that Cali
fornia is not desirous that the exclu-
sion amendment shall be inforced.
PLEDGE MUST BE KEPT
At any rate. the President makes it
plain to the Governor OF California no
steps will be taken toward exclud-
ing Japanese laborers until this coun-
try shall have discharged in good faith
its obligations in the school contro-
versy.
While the conferences between Secre-
tsry Root and ambassador Aoki have
been entirely cordial. it is said that
the Japanese position was found to be

The opinion prevails that the city

then if the public persists in drown
ing themselves in the sea OF municipal
ownership 1t will be necessary for the
city to erect plant of it's own, which

People in the remote parts of the

they want water they must build their
own mains and this was the feeling
that impelled the Highland Land COM
