BURKE FINDS NEW FLAW
Says State Law Conflicts With RoOse-
veIt-Schmitz Agreement

City and County Attorney Burke has
discovered a new flaw in the agree
ment between President Roosevelt and
Mayor Sehmitz that he believes will
be fatal to any legislation by the
Board of Education concerning the
Japanese children in the local schools.
According to the statutes the School
Board can enact no 16-year age limit,
but must either throw the schools open
to all Oriental children up to 21 years
of age or else segregate them without
respect to age.
Section 1852 of the Political Code
sets forth that all children between
the ages of and 81 years shall be
given the right to attend the public
schools, except as otherwise provided" "
The exception referred to is the clause
of the same section that provides that
in cases where Oriental schools are
established no Oriental student shall
be allowed to attend any other school.
Under this rule there can be no sep
crate school provided for Japanese
over 16 years of age for if such is
provided all Japanese children, re-
gardless of age, must attend it. If such
a school is not provided there can be
no 16-year age limit. on account of the
provision that all children up to 21
years must have access to the school
privileges.
Assistant City Attorney Baggett de-
clared that nothing had been gained
by the attempted compromise, as a
principle could never be compromised
in the way that a matter of dollars
and cents could be, and that nothing
had been received in return for the
bartering away of the rights of the
State to conduct its own schools.
AS a matter of protest, / think that
the parents of San Francisco school
children should openly display their
feelings in the matteR' Baggett sug-
gested. Il believe that on the day
that the schools are thrown open to
Japanese school children all parents OF
white pupils should withdraw their
children from the schools for at least
one day. Such a measure would serve
better than any amount of argument
as an expression of public opinion in
relation to the school question"

NAVAL PRISONER SAYS
He WAS NAL TREATED
James ]. Howard Tells Story
Of Cruelty to Board at
Mare Island

Vallejo, Feb. 20.-James ]. Howard,
a fireman in the navy, who was brought
TO trial before a court-martial board
today on charge of having attempted
to assault Commandant Lincoln Kar
many, commander of the marine corps.
He has been confinedtin the dungeon of
the prison on Mare Island for six
months, part of the time in double
irons, and when he took the stand he
told a story of harsh cruelty that he
had. been subjected to while imprisoned.
Howard swore that because he had
complained of the treatment accorded
him Gunner Sergeant Timothy McCar-
thy and Corporal Charles F. Burial
called at his cell at late hour one
night and dragged him forth, and after
taunting him as he stood helpless in
double irons, beat him over the head
with a blackjack until hesfell suncon-
scious.
According to his story, the prisoner
was then dragged back to his cell,
where he was left to lie on the GOLD
floor all night, his injuries having
weakened him SO that he could not
raise himself to his cot.
Mccarthy and Burial denied that
they had maltreated Howard. The case
was concluded today and taken under
advisement-

scHMITz PARTY IN NEW YORK
Tell of Brilliant Success They Achieve,
at Capital


NEW YORK, Feb. 20.-Mayor Schmitz
and colleagues. Williams. oliver. Alt
man, Boyle, Roncovieri and Leffin gwell.
arrived in this city today. All are reg
istered at the Imperial. except Schmitz,
who went to the Waldorf. Tonight
the entire party attended the theater.
Some of them saw George Washington
Jr." at the New York Theater and
others the Red Mill" at the Knicker-
booker. Mayor Schmitz was in the for
mer party The Mayor will remain here
until Friday and then leave for San
Francisco.
The visitors came to New York smil-
ing and jubilant, and declared that they
had issued from the Washington con-
ference with honors In fact they gave
the impression that they had easily
swept away the clouds and cleared the
Presidents vision on the school ques-
ton with such diplomatic skill that
before they parted an entente cordiale
was so firmly established that all were
calling each other by their first names.
I'VE told the President" said VIII
liams, that California proposed to run
itself on the Japanese question. Presi-
dent Roosevelt told us that the question
had been misrepresented. He said that
certain interests had tried to curry
favor with him and had misrepresented
the facts, believing that as he was an
ardent Federalist. he would be glad to
take the opportunity of settling the
State rights matter.
president Roosevelt authorized us to
tell the people of California that he
would use his best efforts to exclude
Japanese skilled and upskilled laborers
He said he would bar all who could
not prove themselves to be bona fde
students"

10 HOURS AS AGAINST IS HOURS

."Chicago to New York in ten hours
by the Chicago-New York Electric Air
Line Railroad" There are people who
look upon that statement as visionary.
or if they admit that such a thing may
be possible they picture to them
selves a train scooting along at a
speed that threatens disaster to every
body on board.
As a matter of fact, there Is nothing
difficult or dangerous at all in operat-
ing a ten-hour schedule under the con-
ditions that will prevail on this road
In the first place, If it is practical for
the New York Central and Lake Shore
9pads to operate in eighteen hours. the
Air Line will be able to operate in
134 hours with no other advantage
tha-1 the shorter distance we have TO
travel. Our l}Ee will be $50 miles
shorter than the Vanderbilt system.
But, in addition to that. the Air Line
will be without material grades or
curves and will have no grade cross
ings, either highway or railroad. 1t
will not run through any large cities,
and hence trains will not have to slow
down as they must do when running
through cities like South Bend. Cleve-
land, Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse and
Albany.
In addition. the Air Line will not be
required under electrical operation to
change engines, as they must do on a
steam operated road. and in that re-
spect considerable time will be saved.
Then, too. electric trains will not have
to stop for water or coal, in addition
to which the use of electricity will
enable them to make a higher rate of
speed than can be made by locOmO-
tives. though that will hardly be neces-
sary in view of the other advantages
the Air Line will have.
The facts are that the Air Line will
be able to operate q ten-hour schedule
with Just as much safety as the Van
derbiIt and Pennsylvania systems are
doing today in eighteen hours.

PROBATION OFFICERS
Fishers Bill. Differing From Senate
Measure. Passes the House

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 20.-Assembly-
man Fishers bill providing for the
appointment and pay of probation off,
GERS. passed the Assembly today with
out opposition.
This puts the two houses at variance.
Fishers bill places the appointment of
probation officers in the hands of pro-
baton committee chosen by the State
Board of Charities and Corrections.
Senator Leavitt does not like this
feature of the measure. He wants the
probation officers named by the Su-
perior Judges, thus making the po-
sitions subject to political pull, re-
gardless of the fitness of applicants.
In carrying out his ideas Leavitt
forced an amendment to Senator Mel
SONS probation officer bill. now on the

1t is now understood in administra-

President Roosevelt and the members
of the general naval board do not be-
lfeve that there will be war with Japan
in the near future. but there is a strong

American naval strength in the Orient
