WASHINGTON NOTES.

The report of the Medical Lake hos
pital for the insane February first

for feeble minded children shows 1913
present
The Walla Walla city council has
adopted the report of the special COM
mittee appointed to outline the extern
sion Of the city's boundaries in order
to bring the population up to 10000.
The district it is proposed to annex
10 half as large as the present area
Of the city.
The hoo-doo on Lake Chelan steam
ers still continues. Sunday the Lady
OF the Lake, the largest boat on the
lake, sank at her moorings in Lake
side. 1t is not known whether the &C
cident was caused by the ice causing
the planks to spread or by muskrats
gnawing through the hull. AS the
boat lies in shallow water, it can prob
ably be easily raised and the damage
repaired.
An affidavit signed by Chester
Thompson himself was presented to
Judge Smell in Tacoma, demanding
an immediate trial on the charge of
insanity. The demand was overruled.
Immediately following this Judge
Thompson Chester's father, appeared
in the supreme court and asked for
a writ of mandamus compelling Judge
Smell to grant Chester an immediate
trial.
Michael Maelf, an Italian of Lewis
ton, Idaho, was shot by an unknown
Italian at Spokane recently. The shot
being fired directly from in front, but
doing no damage because of the heavy
clothing of the man assaulted. Maelfi
wore a slicker, an overcOat, a sweater
and five fleece lined undershirts. The
bullet, believed to have been fired
from A caliber revolver. made a
blue mark about the size Of a quarter
on Maelie's chest.
J. p. Wood of Seattle has prepared
a bill for presentation to the legisla-
ture. Mr. Woods bill is drawn up
with the object of making a state
law to cover the operation Of pool and
billiard rooms as far as minors are
concerned. The striking feature Of
the proposed act is that, upon the sec
ond conviction Of a person for this
offense, the place of business shall be
deemed a public nuisance and ordered
abated by the court. Tables, cues,
balls and fixtures may be sold upon
execution to satisfy the payment of
fines and cost.

Port Au Prince, Hayti Feb. -
The relations between the govern
ments of Hayti and Germany are
strained about the refusal of the Ger
man bankers, Hermann & 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

The japanese school controversy is
settled in so far as President Roose-
welt, Mayor Schmitz and the members
of the San Francisco school board are
concerned. An amicable adjustment
of the question now rests with con-
gress. If the amendment to the immi-
grafton bill proposed by Secretary
Root, excluding foreigners who use
their passports to gain admission to the
United States 'to the detrMment of
labor conditions 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 resind its order
establishing the oriental schools, unless
the Japanese government agrees to
proposition to separate schools which
will provide equal facilities for the
japanese children.
Mayor Schmitz and his assistants
oonversed with the president Wednes-
day and assured Mr.. Roosevelt that the
amendment to the immigration bill
was entirely satisfactory to them.
Secretary Root participated in the
conference end made report on his
negotiations with the republican lead
ers in couer 9ss and the japanese am
b s'ador. While the Californians are
still hopeful that Viscount Aoki, the
Japanese ambassador, will agree to
separate schools in California, they are
not willing to resind the order estab-
fishing orier tai schools and ag lin adj
NIT the Japanese to the white schools.
If the Japanese government will agree
to this proposition the state will estab-
llsh sufficient number of Japanese
schoolhouses to accommodate the Jap
anese and will give the children indi-
vidual instruction. Mayor Schmitz
says the japanese make faster progress
in the oriental schools than they do in
the white schools and that in the mix
ed schools the japanese only retard the
white children.

man. Now he is spending a year in
Jail.
Before this article is printed certain
other eminent shanghai rascals will
have got their dues and the court will
have moved on to Tien-Tsin to repeat
the same procedure there, and later to
11ankow and Canton.
Judge Whitley has a court staff after
his own mind-Dr. Frank Hinckley, a
Columbia graduate, as clerk of court;
j. Bassett as District Attorney and o.
r. Leonard as marshal. In the collec-
tion of evidence he has been largely
dependent upon one member of the
missionary body here, and at Tien-Tsin
expects another missionary to perform
like service.
All this has a relation to missions,
to the boycott, to the American repu-
tation generally and to the relations be-
tween China and America. The man.
ner in which Chinese have been treat
ed by Americans here as well as by
the immigrant authorities in the States
has been a potent factor in inflaming
them against America. From such acts
as the throwing overheard of their Chi
nese boatman, instead of paying him,
by three American sailors (this hap
pened near the anchorage of the Unit
ed States steamship Quarus, at Chink-
lang, the night 1 arrived there), to the
wholesale defrauding Of the govern
ment and native investors by rail-
way concessionaires, the Chinese have
come to regard Americans with sus-
picion and hatred. BY compelling JUS
ttce and good behavior on the part of
his countrymen Judge Whitley is GER
tain to work a vast change in the at
titude of the Chinese toward America.
The American missionaries will be
among the first to feel this. With in
significant exceptions they personally
do only good to the Chinese; most OF
them who have suffered death in China
have done so because Of the misdeeds
of others. Moreover, when the mission
airy does not have to explain away the
conduct of his fellow countrymen he
will have a better hearing for his mes
sage. That is why, at a time when
many of his fellow citizens are pulling
wires in Washington to hamper Judse
Wilfey's activity, the missionaries are,
as a body, hailing his work with en-
thusiasm and welcoming him as the
most effective missionary of them all.

bered, these are not statistics of the
native CITY, but of the foreign settle
ments, over which the Chinese have no
control whatever. The modifying
spectacle has more than once been
presented in Shanghai of heather Of
ficials vainly pleading with the repre-
sentatives of Christian nations to close
out or restrict certain forms of evil,
notably opium resorts, gambling
houses and brothels, for the sake of the
thousands of Chinese who are being
ruined therein. Shanghai's foreign pop
u1ation is $4,000, of whom HOO are

than a little furnished in times past
by Americans, official and unofficial.
] The day after his arrival he calmly
announced that American lawyers who
expected to practise in his court must
pass examination as to their profess
sional qualifications and present certifi-
Gates of their moral character. That
would seem an innocent enough pro-
cedure, warranted by practise in the
United states, until one has heard de-
scribed the type of legal shysters who
for the most part infest Shanghai,
making its badness worse. Eight men
attempted the examination. Six OF
them failed ignominiously to attain an
! average of 60 out of a possible 1OO 1t
is said by those close to the judge
that had these men passed the exam
ination all but one of them would have

At least. one of them is renegade

CONSERVATION AMONG CROOKS.
Here was a sensation for Shanghai
The rejected men had been doing DUST
ness in this city for many years; their
records were, presumably, an open
book. so there is significance in the
fact that | have been able to find no
body to question the essential justice
of the courts action. Naturally, tne
men can not practise In the BRUSH
court and their face is gone utterly.
This swift. summary, ominous action
set Shanghai's underworld agog. What
would this as yet uncomprehended
Judge do next?
Nobody had to wait long to discover.
Passing his action on the common law,
nudge Whitley summoned before him
eight proprietresses of the most lnf1u"
antial resorts One escaped by plead
ing Spanish citizenship, which the Dis
trict Attorney was unable to disproYe.
The Spanish consul issued certificates
for two American girls" but they We're
ignored by the court, and ne AFTER
wards attempted to withdraw them
The girls pleaded guilty, thus leaving
the Spanish consul in an unpleasant
predicament. So each of the accused
persons. except one, received fine OF
$1,000. which was more eloquent than
many lectures. The immediate result
was to send post-haste out of Shang-
hal and out of China more than half a
hundred american girls whose reign
in the Far East seems now to have
been forever broken. Of course, all this
is revolutionary here. When supposed
ly respectable Britishers and Ameri-
cans objected, the judge dryly remark
ed that America was willing to sur
render the monopoly of this sort Of
trade and reputation.
Then a notorious character, a man
higher up" fell into the tolls on the
charge of running a gambling den and
house of designation. He is now spend
ing six months in Jail, with leisure to
contemplate the ACCESSIBILITY of leav-
ing China. Another man, hotelkeep-
err and a Crook" was up before the
Judge upon a civil charge; he had rent
ed to a syndicate of Chinese certain
gambling privileges at the racetrack,
when he knew full well that gambling
had been interdicted by the Municipal
Council Hearing these facts, the
judge, in open court, ordered GRIM
inal information lodged against the
