 Washington. Fsh. 6.--The Preaident today received teleHraphic copy of ! resolution adopted yesterday by the Los Angeles. Cal. Chamber Of Com merce, on the Japanese school question. which expresses the belief that the public sentiment of California. espe- ciaily of the southern part, upon the question of the exclusion of the Japan- csc from the general public school system of the State has been tn some extent misrepresented and Is largely misunderstood.
 The sentiment is expressed that upon the main proposition, whatever may be the diversity of opinion upon the constitutional and, legal phases, the board Is assured that "the general trend of public opinion in Southern California Is decidedly adverse to any discrimination against the Japanese as a people in matters of public school privileges and they believe that this opinion Is based upon consideration of equity and justice and "a held aIto- gether independently of any attitude which the Jaraneae Government has assumed or may assume fin regard to the question

GAS PUT OUT FIRE
ODD INCIDENT AT RECENT
BLAZE IN HARRISON.
Commercial Acetylene oompsny's Gaso-
meter Tilted Up, but Plant Was
Not Damaged. s.

Investigation has shown that on edd
thing occurred at fire which de-
stroyed the plant of the Presto -Isit8
Company. at Harrison. last saturday.
The bell of the 10000 cubic foot gaso-
meter of the Commercial AcetyleHs
Company, adjoining the Prest O-Bite
plant. which supplied the gas for both
the PrestO-Lite and the Safety Stor-
age cylinders, was hit by Prest-O-Lite
tank and the force of the blow tilted
the bell. breaking the water seal and
liberating the gas from the holder.
The puff of this pure gas as IL was
liberated, blew out the fire and then
iared up, but the damage done to the
gasometer was slight
The fire started in the Prest- O-E.ite
building through the careless handling
of leaky automobile cylinder and
this building was entirely destroyed.
small building of the Commercial
Acetylene Company. used for labora-
tory purposes, was practically de-
stroyed, and the f1remen could not un-
derstand why water would not extin>
guish the blaze until one of the work
men of the company came along and
discovered that the flame was caused
by escaping gas from one of the large
Safety Storage Cylinders, such rs is

lie went into the burning building
and shut off the gas. severely burning
his hands. for the tank was almost red
hot, and the fire went out. While many
of the charred railroad tanks of the
Commercial Acetylene Company went
through the fire, none exploded, and
Monday morning tanks were being
charged as usual from smaller gaso-
meter.
