SETTLE JAP MIDDLE.
PRESIDENT and CALIF0RNIANS
AGREE To AGREE.
School Question Can Be Adjusted
Without Danger of Any Serious Diff
ficuIty With Japan--State Depart
ment to Conclude Diplomatic Nego-
tiations as Result of Conference.

President Roosevelt and the authori-
ties of San Francisco have reached
the mutual understanding that the
California Japanese school question
can be adjusted without danger of any
serious difficulty with Japan. 1t was
authoritatively stated that the one &C
complishment of the first conference
was a mutual understanding that a set
tlement could be reached which would
be satisfactory and leave no ground
for trouble.
The California delegation came to
Washington, it is said, with nothing
in the nature of an ultimatum, but
rather open to the consideration of
any basis of settlement which the ad-
ministration might propose.
The conference took place at the
White House Saturday afternoon. 1t
was attended by President Roosevelt
and Secretary Root, representing the
administration, and Mayor E. E.
Schmitz, the members of the board of
education, the superintendent of
schools and the assistant city attorney
of San Francisco, representing the
educational interests of the city.
The conference in accordance with
an understanding reached earlier in
the day, when Mayor Schmitz saw the
president, with Representative Kahn
and Hayes, began shortly after 8
o'clock. The Californians rceched the
executive Offices shortly before that
hour and halted for a few moments on
the steps, where they were photo
graphed in a group. Preceding their
call, the president had been closeted
for some time with Secretary Root,
presumably to talk over the situation
This over, the president cordially
greeted the Californians who had been
shown into his Office and after brief
formalities the conference was begun
Secretary Root remained, al uhc
presidents request, because of the
fact that whatever diplomatic negotia-
tons may arise as a result of the de-
cision finally arrived at will have to
be conducted by the state department

which such representatives have been
sent increase the ranks of their repre-
sentatives to the United States.

HAYTl GROWS sPITEFUL.
Refuses to Heed Requests of Foreign
Ministers.


Ministers.
Port Au Prince, Hayti Feb. 49,
The relations between the govern
ments of Hayti and Germany are
strained about the refusal of the Ger
man bankers, Hermann e. Co.. by di-
rection of the court at Port Au Prince,
to return to the Haytian government
large sums of money alleged to have
been obtained fraudulently. Among
the alleged transactions of Hermann &
Co. with the Haytian government was
one which is said to have proved favor
able to the government. This was
concluded by the Haytian minister of
finance, the German legation and Her
mann & Co.
The German minister demanded that
this transaction, as well as others, be
annulled, but the Haytian government
in terms that the German minister
deemed offensive, refused to acquiesce
and at the same time demanded the
withdrawal of the phrase objected to-
This also was refused. Fears are en-
tertained here of grave complications
ensuing.

General John Wanamaker, whose beau
tiful country home at Jenkintown was
burned recently, says he thought that
$1,000, 900 is a fair estimate of the
damage. The treasures in the house
had been gathered from all parts of
the world. Among those destroyed
was Mr.. Wanamaker's collections of
china, valuable tapestries, rare old pot
terry and antique furniture, which can
rot be replaced. Most of the statuary
sculptured by men who died centuries
ago, was also ruined.

One does not need to grasp the hand in

about good handshake which is the ST

possessing a great deal of personal mag

without even so much as the slightest
pressure of the fingers. Others may have
a good grip, which is more like a clutch.
There is no set rule for handshaking I'M
