Conference atWhite House Leaves
Issue Still Pending Mayor
SChmitz Makes Statement.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-When the
White House conference was conclud-
ed Mayor Schmitz of San Francisco
made the statement that, although the
president, Secretary of State Root and
the Californians had still further dis
eussed she japanese school question,
nothing definite had been accomplished
and that there would be another meet
ing, subject to the call OF the president.
1t has been agreed that the whole
matter viii be considered ut a cabinet
meeting today. Mayor Schmitz de-
clined to say whether the question OF
excluding the Japanese coolies by con
g%ressional legislation formed Il part of
their proposition which was submitted
to the president i'll writing.
Mayor Schmitz and other members
Of the San Francisco delegation have
received hundreds of kilograms urging
them to advocate Il treaty excluding
the japanese laborer and legislation
by congress to carry the provisions of
this treaty info effect.
The mayor has admitted to members
of the California delegation in congress
that while he is very anxious to reach
a satisfactory agreement with Presi-
dent Roosevelt and stands willing to
make any concessions that will be for
the good OF the whole country, yet he
hesitates in making any agreement that
will not meet with the approval of the
people Of California. The private dis
patches from the coast have in all in
stances indicated the great interest that
the people of California have in the Is
sue.
1t can be authoritatively stated that
the president has appealed to Mayor
Schmitz and his associates to bring the
a~nti-Japanese agitation TO an end by
resembling the school boards order for
the establishment of oriental schools.
Under the California law the ques-
ton of separate schools was left 10 the
discretion Of the school authorities.
and before the earthquake disaster the
japanese were admitted TO the white
schools.
When asked the direct question
whether the proposition submitted by
the San Francisco delegation called for
the exclusion of Japanese coolie labor
from this country Mayor Schmitz re-
piled:
I'VE are not making a treaty and
have not discussed with the president
the question of excluding the Japanese
from this country by treaty. We heard
the presidents views and presented
our side of the questions at issue.
1T now remains for us to modify
our views in order to reach an agree
ment with the president or for Mr..
Roosevelt TO modify his views to reach
an agreement with us. The conference
was adjourned subject to the call Of
the president
