CHIHUAHUA DOGS DYING OUT.

in responding to numerous inquiries
from persons in the United States in
regard to the purchasing of Chihuahua
dogs. says:
The Chihuahua dog, which as late
as 20 years ago was quite commonly
to be found in Mexico, is a curious
little creature popularly supposed to
be cross breed between the prairie
dog and the jack rabbit The animal
resembles small dog whose weight
Is sometimes not over one and one
half pounds, with a dlsproportionately
large head, bulging eyes and long
ears. Phe hair is usually scanty,
showing the pink skin underneath.
One of the marks is said to be an un-
closed cranial fissure through which
the brain can be felt throbbing under
meath the skin. These little animals
are particularly destructive, and are
constantly scratching at things with
their long claws. They are quite sus-
ceptible to training If taken young
and in numerous instances the breed
has been domesticated, although they
seldom show the usual dog traits of
sagacious and intelligent attach
ment.
Unfortunately within the last 25
years the breed has become so large
ly mixed with small dogs of various
mongrel types that it is now a most
difficult thing to find in Mexico an ex-
ample of the true breed. Such are
sold occasionally at prices ranging
from 200 Mexican pesos (S99.60 Unit
ed States currency upward Even in
Chihuahua these dogs are very rare.
A few recent specimens sold in this
city are said to have been OF the true
breed"

JAPANESE
SCHOOL QUESTION
If immigration Bill Amendment
Goes Through
CONFER WITH PRESIDENT
Mayor Schmtz and others Assure Mr..
Roosevelt That They Are Satisfied,
But Hope for Separate
Schools.
CONFER WITH PRESIDENT

Washington, February 13.-rhe Japan
csc school controversy is settled, insofar
as President Roosevelt, Mayor Schmitz
and the members of the San Francisco
school board are concerned. An amicable
adjustment of the question now rests with
Congress. If the amendment to the immi-
grafton bill proposed by Secretary Root,
excluding foreigners who use their pass
ports to secure admission to the United
States 10 the detriment of labor eondi-
tions in this country" is accepted by the
Senate and House, and the immigration
bill is passed at this session of Congress,
the San Francisco board of education will
rescind its order establishing the Oriental
schools unless the Japanese government
agrees to a proposition for separate
schools, which will provide equal facili-
ties for the Japanese children.
Mayor Schmitz and his associates had
conference with the President this aft
ernoon. and Mr.. Roosevelt was assured
that the amendment to the immigration
bill was practically satisfactory to them.
Secretary Root participated in the con-
ference, and made report on his inyes-
legations with the republican leaders in
Congress and the Japanese ambassador.
While Mayor Schmitz and the members
of the school board are still hopeful that
Viscount Aold, the Japanese ambassador
will agree to separate schools in Cali
fornia, they stand willing to rescind the
order establishing the Oriental schools
and again admit Japanese children to the
white schools. Mayor Schmitz today point
ed out to President Roosevelt and Secre-
tary Root the advantages that will be
gained by the Japanese children if the Or
iental schools are maintained. and eX-
pressed a Willingness to give the Japanese
equal educational facilities to those given
to tile white children of San Francisco.
If the Japanese government will agree
to this proposition, the school board will
establish sufficient number of Oriental
schools to accommodate the Japanese, and
will give the children individual instruc-
ton. Mayor Schmtz says the Japanese
make faster progress in the Oriental
schools than in the white schools, and the
Japanese only retard the progress of the
white children while in the latter's
school.
Another conference will be held at the
White House Friday, and in the meantime
President Roosevelt hopes to be able to
give Mayor Schmtz and his associates as
surance that the immigration -, includ-
ing the exclusion amendment. will be
passed at this session of Congress.
The only thing that will prevent an
amicable settlement of the whole question
on Friday will be the unwillingness of
Congress to pass the immigration bill
This, it can be stated on the highest Of
fetal authority. is the only possible hitch
that can be encountered In the negotia-
tions.
