Circuit Court. Attached to the State
suit is request of Attorney General
Bonaparte that the United States be
made a party to the suit in order
to enforce treaty rights with Japan.
The complaint declares the boy is
not a Mongolian and that for twenty
years California has recognized that
Japanese are not Mongolians and de-
clares that it is case of unjust dis
elimination The new contention is
made in the declaration that the
United States has aided California
in granting her school lands. which
were given with the understanding
that the schools be conducted ac-
cording to the Federal constitution
and all treaties Hereunder. The
suit in the Federal court is a bill
in equity containing substantially the
same allegations. City Attorney
Burke declared tonight that the Fed
eral attorneys had broken faith in
the matter of an agreed statement
of facts and had included things to
which he objected. He will now pre-
pare a bill for the present legisla-
ture which will specifically exclude
Japanese from the schools and place
them in the same category with Chi
nese, Malays and Indians.

Pittsburg, Pa, Jan. 2S-Albert
Houck found the body of his wife
lying on table of her room, burned
to crisp, when he returned home
from work late last night The police
department and coroner are making
a rigid investigation of the death, but
so far have failed to reach a definite
conclusion. Their hrst theory of ac-
cidental death was abandoned when
it was discovered that nothing else in
the room was burned, not even the
table on which the woman was
found. When the woman's husband
arrived home, the doors were all lock-
ed, all lights in the house were out
and he was compelled to climb
through cellar window Whether
or not the woman met with foul play
the police are reluctant to say, but
considerable mystery surrounds the
death.
