FEAR JAPANESE CRISIS
ROOSEVELT ASSERTS WE FACE
 WAR WITH JAPAN.
CALIFORNIANS ARE WARNED
President Declares Order Excluding OrientaIs From Schools Must
 Be Rescinded.

Washington, D. CA most seri- ous and unexpected crisis has arisen in the heretofore friendly relations eX- istng between the United States and Japan. The utmost eXertions of trained diplomacy, according to Pres ident Roosevelt himself will be neces- sary to avert open hostilities, preclpl- 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- loved before the fire and earthquake.
 It 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 af 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of schools, plainly and unequivocally to inform them that their edict of non admission for Japanese children must be withdrawn He will appeal to their patriotism.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- tion 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- | hensive declaration that Japan desires war, and is seeking preteXt for it's | prosecution.
 1 Every member of the California del 1 egation was impressed by the presi- dents utterances. They were satis- i fled that a more serious and critical situation is at hand than had been pre- viously anticipated. They promised i to render all possible assistance in 1 seeking to obtain the removal of re strictions imposed on Japanese school children by the educational authorities of San Francisco. They also pledged themselves to maintain a patriotic si- lence being told by the president that publication of the real facts, if for warded to Tokio, might greatly hasten the hostilities the administration is striving to prevent

Jap Demands.

Tolsio, Feb.-After careful survey of public feeling here regarding the prospect of satisfactory solution o1 the San Francisco school controversy, 1t may be stated that while the ap' preach of the termination of the dis agreeable affair is welcomed, yet the report from Washington that solu- tion may be effected by mutual treaty excluding the immigration of laborers is generally disbelieved as unreasonable. Acording to the pre-. vailing feeling, solution must be ef' fected on Japan's treaty rights pure and simple.

THAW JURY COMPLETE
TWELFTH JUROR IN CELEBRATED
 CASE SECURED.
JEROME IS NOT SATISFIED
Makes Efforts to Secure Removal of 3urymen 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 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 0;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 ;2en now in the jury box, but who has failed to gain the consent of the 'efendant's counsel to a change, was still reluctant, as court adjourned, to begin the actual proceedings without a further opportunity to plead with Thaw's attorneys. At his request, therefore, Justice Fitzgerald ordered all talesmen who have not yet be.n examined to be in court Monday morn ing ready for jury service in case any are needed.
 Defense Notified to Be Ready.
 MT. Jerome announced that if there should be no change in the situation in the meantime, the state would pco. ceed to place all it's direct testimony before the jury at the Monday morn ing session. The defense was nori- fled to be in readiness to proceed by Monday afternoon
 Defense Satisfied and Ready.
 We are entirely satisfied with the jury said Clifford w. Hartridge, Thaw's leading counsel, and he added the intimation that he would not con- sert to any further alterations of the personnel.
 'The defense will be ready to pro, ceed the minute the prosecution has finished it's case,' declared John B. Gleason, another of Thaw's attorneys.
 State Will Make Opening Brief.
 Assistant District Attorney Gar ran will make the opening address for !he 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 K. Thaw on the Mad ison Square roof garden the night of June 25 last. In announcing that tne introduction will not require more than one session of the court, MT. 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.
