Mayor Schmitz said:
We have come to Washington with

that we have responded to the presi-
dents invitation is sufficient evidence
that we stand ready to make conces-
sions if we are convinced that i'm so
doing the entire country viii profit by
ou- action. No Californian is willing
to stand on any technicality that will

AMERICAN

Havana, Feb. S.-Governor Magoon re-
ceived a cablegram from Secretary Taft
today directing the postponcment OF the
decree providing for an increase from
e.0Oc to 1900 men of the Cuban rural
guard. pending presentation of the pro-
tests by the Liberals.
Objections 20 the plan Of increase were
voiced at a meeting attended bv n
number OF army officers. General En-
rique Loynaz del Castillo bitterly de-
nounced the United States. and predicted
that the Cubans eventually would he
compelled to resist American domination.
when the speaker hoped he would have
the honor of leading the patriotic army.
General Estonoz. prominent cOlored
leader. was the only speaker 20 approve
the proposed increase, but he demanded
recognition OF negroes in the ranks OF
the army and intimated that the negroes
were prepared to fight for their political
rights.
Resolutions of Protest.
The meeting adopted resolutions pro-
testing against any increase in the armed
force, the formation OF militia of any
kind. and the enlistment I'm the army
Of other than native Cubans. General
Del Castillo predicted an influx of Anleri-
can immigrants. which, he declared
would result in AUGMENTATION OF the rtl-
raj guard and consequent military oppres-
sion OF the Cubafs. Throughout the en-
tire meeting strong anti-American SEN
tinlent prevailed Protest was made
against imposing upon Cuba the burden
OF maintaining the proposed standing
army. A number OF speakers contended
that the fractions members OF the rural
guard had been enlisted by the police
force.
A committee was appointed to call on
Governor MaEoon and present to him
their protests. but up a late hour tonight

Jap Children Not Excluded.

Jap Children Not Excluded.
we have not excluded the japanese
children from the schools of San Fran
cisco. but since the fire the school
board has found il necessary to adopt
the policy of segregation, not exclu-
sion. ip the primary and intermediate
departments. The law Of California
makes the question of segregation dis
cretionary with the school boards in
the various towns and cities of the
state. The law reads that the school
authorities may segregate the chill
drcn of the white and Monaghan races,
and requires that when the separate
schools have been established the chill
dren of the two races must attend the
schools set apart for them. After the
fire we found that the Japanese were
crowdins the white children out of the
schools, and the only course to pursue
was 10 take advantage of the state law
anu establish the separate schools.
This was done. The white children
took the places of the Japanese in the
white schools and the Oriental schools
were Established for the Japanese

white schools if the delegation agree
to make the concession which the pres

THAT would be simple enough. We
would abolish the Oriental schools, and

OPPONENTS HAVE FULL SWAY
Strong Opposition to the Removal of
 Storrs College.

Hartford, April 10-The final hearing on the resolution authorizing the gov ernor to appoint a commission to con- slider the removal of the Connecticut Agricultural college at Storrs to more central location was held in the hall of the house this afternoon when the op- ponents of the measure had undisputed possession of the floor. As was expect ed there was strenuous opposition not only to the removal of the college but even to the appointment of commits sion. Let well enough alone, was the substance of the appeals of the speak CTS, included among whom were several prominent men of the state. It was argued that nothing but harm would result if the college was moved and that all the good work that has been accomplished there during the past ten years, especially in the horticultural line would be put back just that num- Der of years.

 Canton, O., April 1O.-In the presence of 1,200 people Senator Joseph E. Fora ker at the Auditorium tonight deliv- cred an address in which he defended his action as a servant of the people of Obio and declared he is willing to abide by their decision in the future. The occasion of the address was the annual banquet of the Canton board of trade Senator Foraker was down on the programme to deliver an address on "Civic Pride" but his speech was largely directed to his work as senator, and a declaration that he means to al- ways do his best in his own way. He was received with much enthusiasm as he stepped forward to speak!
 Senator Foraker, in discussing pub lished statements regarding the presi- dents attitude toward the senator's speeches at this time, replied to pulp lication mentioning him as one of an anti Roosevelt combination; reviewed the investigation of the discharge of the negro soldiers on account of the trouble at Brownsville, Tex; reiterated his views regarding recent railroad leg islation protested against the infringe ment by one branch of the government of the rights of another branch; de- clared that the representatives of the people in congress are accountable only to the people and are not properly subject to any other influences" denied the right of any one except his constit- uents to call him to account, and sound ed a note of warning against increased surveillance of business men who need no moral regeneration.
 He quoted published report that President Roosevelt has drawn a dead line for Senator Foraker,' and that If he attacks President Roosevelt, Presl- dent Roosevelt will be heard from in no uncertain tones." Senator Foraker said:
 "The wicked flee when no man pur- sueth. I have not forecasted the char acter of any speeches I am intending to make, and if had it would seem in- credible to the average mind that such story could De anything more than a misunderstanding pipe dream of an over- ambitious correspondent.
 That the president of the United
 States should become personally en-
 gagged in a political contest to deter mine his successor is without prece- i dent, unless it be the bad precedent set
 by Andrew Jackson as to Martin Van Buren.
 That lie should enter upon such a struggle with the declaration that he is
 to set limitations upon the freedom of
 speech of those who may differ from him, and that they are to disregard those limitations at their peril, is with
 out precedent even in the case of Jack
 son, and is so inconsisene with the dig

 cities always to be observed, that I feel
 1t duty toward the president himself
 to enter for him, on my own motion, disclaimer of all responsibility for such publication.

INHERITANCE TAX MEASURE
HEARING BEGUN BEFORE THE
 JUDICIARY COMMITTEE.

Bill Defines Classes of Property to
 Which Section 230S of the General
 Statutes Shall Apply in Matter of
 CoIIection--John c. Gallagher Ap-
 pears for Bill Favoring Fixing of
 Saturday Hours of Superior Court
 CIerl--Petition of A. M. Young.
 Hartford, April 1O,-The committee on the judiciary returned to its regular business to-day, after having sat for almost two weeks in hearings relating to the telephone bills.
 The first matter related to bill which would define classes of property which section 236S of the general stat utes shall apply to in collection of in heritance taxes.
 Judge Walter Moves, of the court of common pleas of New London county, spoke in favor of the bill, and in his opening remarks said that Attorney General Holcomb would not oppose the bill. Judge Moves said the proposed act would provide for an inheritance tax on certain specified property of nonresident decedents, and it would not only define the duty of the tax commissioners in relation thereto, but would repeal chapter 6S of the public acts of 1903 and chapter 256 of the pub lie acts of 1905. The property to which the statute would apply and which would be subject to tax would include the following property belonging to de- ceased persons, which shall pass by will on inheritance under the laws of any state or country: All real estate and tangible personal property. includ- ing money on deposit in this state; all intangible personal property, includ- ing bonds, securities, shares of stock and choses In action, the evidence or ownership of which shall be within the state shares of the capital stock of all corporations organized and existing un- der the laws of this state, where the laws of the state or country where such decedent resided shall, at the time of his decease, impose a succession inher- itanee transfer or similar tax upon the shares of the capital stock of corpora tions organized or existing under the laws of such state or country, held at their decease by residents of the state. Judge Moves spoke at great length and called to mind the operations of the succession tax, which Ae considered un- just to stockholders and to corpora tions, and said the act was simply a re- ciprocal proposition.

 Chattanooga, Tenn, April 10.-A sen- sational feature of the banquet given here tonight by the Bryan Anniversary club, at which William J. Bryan was the guest of honor, was the letter and subsequent speech of John Temple Graves, editor of the Atlanta Georgian, who in his letter refused to speak be- cause the toastmaster asked him not to talk about his suggestion that Bryan should nominate Roosevelt for re-elec- tion. Later MT. Graves was induced to go to the banquet hall and deliver his speech. MT Graves in his letter said.
 Dear Sir-I came to Chattanooga yielding to no one in my profound and affectionate regard for MT. Bryan and for the democratic party and it's prin- ciples.
 Tn the course of my speech I tried to make them plain in as warm and glowing sentences as my heart could fashion. I am profoundly convinced that In this period of tremendous eco- homie crisis the only man who can car- ry to successful conclusion the reforms instituted In behalf of the people is the man who si already entrenched in the power and prestige of dauntless cour- age, and is a conspicuous success in tte executive office.
 'I have endeavored in my speech to give my convictions, and these convic- tions are so earnest and sincere that I cannot change them unless better rea- sons are given than have been present. ed to me up to the present time.
 My reasons for stating this convic- tion at Bryan banquet, with MT. Bry- an present, was because I considered 1t the manly and democratic thing to do.
 'The time to voice a sentiment so momentous to the life and prosperity and to the realization of best ideals of a real democracy is in 8 council of the faithful and in the full presence of our great and shining leader who would be there to comment, to approve or to con- demn with the full force of his influ- ence and eloquence, as he might see fit.
 If I had made this speech in the nortb, and with mixed audience pres ent, it would have carried a suggestion of trucking, or the appearance of seek ing favors where the other party was stronger than my own.
 Tt appeared to me that the only fair and honest thing to do was to speak my convictions in full council and with open voice. In this belief my speech, upon the request of the Associated Press, ias already been sent out to the newspapers of the country.
