ARREST IAPS BY WHOLESALE
Complications Are Feared as Result
Of Conditions at San Antonio.

of Conditions at San Antonio.
San Antonio, ex.-International diff
fculties are now threatened as a result
of the promiscuous arrest of japanese
by the police department of this city
on charges Of vagrancy in spite of the
fact that nearly all of them claim to be
employed and all of them have money.
L. S, Mogi, a wealthy japanese resi-
dent of this city, said today about the
action OF the police:
"They make arrests almost every day.
| don't know what they charge the
japanese with. l don't know why they
arrest them unless it is to win the negro
vote. If this continues | will have to
appeal to the japanese consul, and if
| hear of any Japanese being mis-
treated | will appeal to the consul i'm
mediately to have these apparently pur-
poseless arrests stopped"
The police are making charges of va
grancy against the Japanese. Thus
far none have been fined on that charge,
The arrests are being made by direct
order of the mayor.

THAW JURY COMPLETE
TWELFTH JUROR IN CELEBRATED
CASE SECURED.
JEROME is NOT SATISFIED
Makes Efforts to Secure Removal of
Jurymen With Whom De.
fense Seems Pleased.

New York, N. Y.-The selection of
the twelfth juror came as a complete
surprise at the end of a long and
tedious day-the eighth of the tria.-
and Immediately after this last mem
Der of the trial panel had been sworn
in Justice Fitzgerald adjourned court
until 1O:30 O'Clock Monday morning.
Jerome Not Satisfied.
District Attorney Jerome, who has
been contending since Thursday att.
ernoon for the removal of one Of tGe
men now in the jury box, but who
has failed TO gain the consent Of tie
defendants counsel to a change, was
still reluctant, as court adjourned, 10
begin the actual proceedings without
further opportunity to plead with
Thaw's attorneys. At his request,
therefore, Justice Fitzgerald ordered
all talesmen who have not yet been
examined to be in court Monday morn
ing ready for jury service in case any
are needed
Defense Notified to Be Ready.
Mr.. Jerome announced that If there
should be no change in the situation
in the meantime, the state would pco
ceed to place all its direct testimony
before the jury at the Monday morn,
ing session. The defense was nCri-
fed to be in readiness to proceed
by Monday afternoon.
Defense Satisfied and Ready.
I'VE are entirely satisfied with the
jury" said Clifford w. Hartrdge,
Thaw's leading counsel, and he pdded
the intimation that he would not con.
sent to any further alterations OF the
personnel
THE defense win be ready to pro.
ceed the minute the prosecution has
finished its case" declared John B.
Gleason, another of Thaw's attorneys.
State Will Make Opening Brief.
Assistant District Attorney Gartan
will make the opening address for the
prosecution His remarks will be
brief. The state will then introduce
such witnesses as are necessary to
prove Stanford White was shot and
killed by Harry X. Thaw on the Mad
ison Square roof garden the night of
June 25 last In announcing that tae
introduction will not require more than
one session of the court, Mr.. Jerome
is evidently of the opinion that the
cross-examination of the states wit.
nesses to the actual events associat-
ed with the tragedy may not be very
extensive.

President Declares Order Excluding
orientals From Schools Must
Be Reseinded.

Washington, D. CA most seri-
ous and unexpected crisis has arisen
in the heretofore friendly relations ex-
listing between the United States and
Japan. The utmost eXertions OF
trained diplomacy, according TO Pres
ident Roosevelt himself viii be neces-
sary to avert open hostilities, precipi'
tated by Japan.
One paramount concession to Japan
Is essential to restore the semblance
of friendship--the educational authori-
ties Of San Francisco must restore Jap
anese children TO the same privileges
of public school attendance they en-
joyed before the fire and earthquake.
1t is stated that the only preyenta-
tive of war between the United States
and Japan is the withdrawal Of all
action taken barring Japanese children
from equal participation with white
children in the common facilities al
forded for education.
Appeals to Californians.
The president has sent for the pres
ident of the San Francisco board of
education and the superintendent OF
schools, plainly and unequivocally to
inform them that their edict Of 1on'
admission for Japanese children must
be withdrawn. He will appeal to their
patriotism. He will ask them as
American citizens to abandon the pol
icy of exclusion, He will advise them
that this is the first step in the dIrec-
ton Of solving the problem without an
open breach.
President Roosevelt, in a conference
lasting less than one hour and half,
convinced the entire California delega'
tion in congress that the existing sit
uation is extremely critical, and they
must make some sacrifice of state
pride for the general good. He did not
differentiate as between the Japanese
government and the Japanese people
but made the broad, sweeping compre

Every member of the California del
egation was impressed by the presi
dents utterances. They were salts
fed that a more serious and critica
situation is at hand than had been pre-
viously anticipated. They promised
to render all possible assistance II
seeking to obtain the removal of re
strictions imposed on japanese schoo
children by the educational authorities
of San Francisco. They also pledged
themselves to maintain a patriotic 81

reached when he dwelt on the species
Of gambling known as dealing in
futures, and the sale of cocaine. He
said there was no more harm in playing
poker than dealing in cotton futures,
the worst form of gambling known TO
the American people. He said thai
some people who pretended to be Chris
tians dabbled in cotton futures from
Monday morning till Saturday night,
and urged the grand jury to indict
svery man that they could find who
had made contract in cotton futures.
As to the cocaine evil, the judge said
that any druggist who would sell the
stuff to negro ought to be in the pen
itentiary, and that the druggist who
would was the greatest enemy to the
colored race.
