Mayor and Education Board
Confer With President

WASHINGTON, Feb, g.
Mayor Schrnitz and the members
of the Board of Education of San
Francisco met the President by
appointment at 5 o'clock this aft
ernoon and discussed the Japan
ese situation for over an hour.
Secretary Root was present. The
discussion was preliminary to a
further conference on Monday,
with the object of reaching some
definite agreement whereby the
San Francisco authorities might
be willing to rescind their action
segregating Japanese school chill
dren.
A significant feature of today's
conference was that not a single
member Of the California delega-
ton in Congress was present.
When Mayor Schmitz and the
School Board were sent for it was
understood that they would come
here to confer with the President
and the California delegation. The
President relied upon the delega-
ton to impress upon the school
authorities the necessity Of TAX
ing action to placate Japan as a
preliminary TO making amicable
arrangements for the exclusion OF
lborers from this country.
Yet the President did not in
vite the California delegation to
today's conference. Members OF
the delegation endeavored to con-
ceal their feelings in the matter.
They declared that the reason
why they were not invited to par
ticipate in the conference was be-
cause one Of their number had
talked too freely regarding the
first conference, in which the
President had spoken with arraz-
ing frankness OF the danger OF
rupture with Japan unless steps
were taken Immediately TO mend
the situation. The President had
obtained a pledge OF confidence
from the delegation, and the pub
lication OF the conversation was
extremely embarrassing to him.
At today's conference the Presi-
dent again sought to keep the
facts from leaking out by obtain
ing the promise of the San Fran
ciscans that no statement should
be made to the press. Mayor
Schnlitz was accordingly very re-
served when he left the White
House and the others referred all
inquirers TO him. Mayor Schnitz
said:
Nothing has been decided on
any proposition pending. Nothing
viii be settled, If it is settled at
all, until Monday or Tuesday,
when another conference will be
held. At that time, I think, a de-
cision viii be reached. The dele
cation and the President each pre-
sented his side OF the case. The
meeting was entirely friendly, but
am not prepared to say that It
was satisfactory.

CH|LD'S EVIDENCE
MAY SAVE FATHER
Ten Year-OId Anna KnudSOn
To Take Stand in Behalf Of
Her Parent.
CHARGED WITH MURDER
LITTLE ONE WILL TESTIFY THAT
THEIR HOME WAS HAPPY ONE
BEFORE HER MOTHERS NYS-
FERROUS DEATH.
Publishers Press.J

Chicago. Jan. 12-Despite a desper-
ate effort to exclude then from the
court room, ten year old Anna Knud-
son has practically forced the court
to accept the testimony of herself
and her little brothers. Gustave and
Wilfred. in favor of their father,
Knud o. Knudson, the millionaire
West Pullman contractor charged
with poisoning his wife, Augusta.
The three children will take the
stand Monday. The prosecution pre-
vailed on the court not to let them
even sit with their father during the
trial lest they prejudice the jury.
The defense questioned the wisdom
of accepting them as witnesses.
Shut off from telling her story to
the jury Anna began campaign of
publicity through the newspapers
which regularly printed her letters
commenting on each days testimony
as it was brought out in court.
So telling were her blows that her
fathers lawyers changed their plans
and determined to summon her in an
effort to save the contractor from the
galloWs.
Annals testimony will be along two
lines She will absolutely contradict
the witnesses who have declared the
Knudsons home life unhappy and
Knudson seemingly to have rejoiced
as his wife's illness grew more and
more serious.
There could have been no kinder
husband or father, she said. In her
own mind she has analysed his own
behavior after his wife died and is
convinced that his grief was unfeign-
ed.
Then she will turn her attention to
the witnesses for the prosecution.
Most of these have been women who
were much with Mrs. Mrs. KnudSon
shortly before her death. Anna says
they were friends neither of Knudson
nor his wife, that they envied the
wealth of the contractors family and
that some of them manifested their
dislike SO plainly that Knudson won
their positive hatred by seeking to
drive them from his home.

UNION AS
RESULT OF TALK
Mrs. Baldwin Heard by Many
Sunday School Teachers
at Reid Church.
ADDRESS VERY EFFECTIVE
SUNDAY SCHOOL WORKERS FORM
ORGANIZATION IN ORDER THAT
THEY MAY GET GREATER GOOD
FROM WORK.

AS a result of the interesting and
highly instructive address given yes

terian church by Mrs. Baldwin, the

which will be held January 20, in the
First English Lutheran church at
three O'Clock.
Mrs. Baldwin, who has been promi-
nently engaged in the primary Sunday
school in Indianapolis for many years,
gave some good sound advice to her
hearers. She said that the teachers
should tell the simple, but effective hi
BILE stories, in simple and effective
manner In telling these she said,
the teacher must see them as The chill
dren see them, and never point out the
moral AS general rule, the chill
dren comprehend this long before the
story is at an end Telling them the
moral, spoils the story, she said.
ITO be the primary teacher in fact
as well as act, the teacher should de-
vote fifteen minutes each day to The
study of the lesson. Three of the
fundamental principles on which 1.-The
success of primary teaching lies. is
that the teacher must by all odds
know the bible, must know the chill
dren, and the environments which sur.
round their home life, and lastly, but
not least, the teacher must know the
methods and principles of teaching.
She said 1T takes infinite love, inf
mite tact and infinite patience to teach
children
feature of the Primary Union, the
name of the organization of primary
teachers, will be that the lessons will,
at each meeting, be taught as the
teacher would teach his or her class
Of small children. Condolences and
experiences will be exchanged and the
workers of all the different denoinina-
lions will work together that the
small children of the city may profit.

ball team has declared that he is in
favor of having twelve men comprise
the football team. He said he hac

sensation of the trial was sprung. After admitting to Prosecuting Attorney Rhoton that he had re- ceived more than a hundred dol lars on the Argenta bill, Hinkle said that he received $500 at Herman Kahn's office. Hinkle was on the stand for fourteen hours, and said the sen ators named received money on several bills, among them being the Argenta annexation bill, the Felsenthal district court bill and the beer inspection bill.
 He also testified that T. L. Cox gave Covington $5,000 to look after bills affecting railroads, his share for his part in that work being $1 ,500. He said that $1 ,000 was put up to pass the Felsenthal bill, and his share was $1O0. Gov ington distributed this fund.
 Senator Butt, he said, was paid $500, then withdrew from the presidency of the senate race in favor of Covington. Hinkle also testified that Covington told him that he paid Senator Gross $250 to vote against the Little Rock Ar genta remuneration bill. He un- derstood the money on that bill came from Mayor Faucette, of Argenta.
 On cross examination Col |. Murphy asked the witness with whom he divided the $7, 800 which he got at the office of Herman Kahn.
