 The testimony at the inquest was of most sensational character Huggard testified that McClanaghan had insulted his wife; that he had seen them together and that he had frequently requested McClanaghan to leave Marshall. He had been very kind to the McClanaghans and tried in every way to avoid the trouble. The "unwritten law" will probably be offered by the defense at the trial.

CASE 0F JAPS
 UP IN CONGRESS President Roosevelt, Mayor Schmitz, and San Francis. co School Board Reach Understanding in Dispute
TWO BILLS WANTED
Secretary Root Was Present at White House Conference and Say, He Will Do All in His Power to Settle Dinerence People and the Japs.

Washington, D. C., Feb. 14.-If the amendment to the immieration bill, proposed by Secretary Root, ex- cluding foreigners, who use their passports to secure admission to the united States, "tO the detriment of labor conditions in this country" is accepted by the senate and house and the immigration bill is passed at this session of congress, the San Francisco board of education will rescind it's order establishing the Oriental schools unless the Japanese government agrees to a proposition for separate schools, which will pro- vide equal facilities for the Japan csc children.
 By this means the Japanese school controversy will be settled insofar as President Roosevelt, May or SchmitZ and the San Francisco school board are concerned, leaving the entire matter up to congress.
 Mayor Schmitz and his associates had conference with the president and Mr. Roosevelt was assured that 1 the amendment to the immigration Dill was entirely satisfactory to them. Secretary Root participated in the conference and made a report on his negotiations with the Repub- lican leaders in congress and the Japanese ambassador.
 While Mayor Schmitz and the members of the school board are still hopeful that Viscount Aoki, the Japanese ambassador, will agree to separate schools in California, they stand willing to rescind the or der establishing the Oriental schools and again admit Japanese children to the white schools. Mayor Schmitz pointed out to President Roosevelt and Secretary Root the advantages that will be gained by the Japanese children if the Orien- tai schools are maintained, and ex- pressed a willingness to give the Japanese equal educational facili- ties to those given the whites of San Francisco. If the Jepanese gov- ernment will agree to this proposi- tion the school board will establish sufficient number of Oriental schools to accommodate the Japan csc, and will give the children in- dividual instruction. Mayor Schmitz says that the Japanese make faster progress in Oriental schools than they do in the white schools, and that in the mixed schools the Jap anese only retard the progress of the white children
 Another Conference.
 Another conference will be held at the White House Friday and in the meantime President Roosevelt hopes to be able to give Mayor Schmitz and his associates assur- ance that the immigration bill, in- cluding the exclusion amendment, will be passed at this session of congress.
 The only thing that will prevent an amicable settlement of the whole question on Friday will be the un- willingness of congress to pass the immigration bill. This, it can be stated on the highest offical author ity, is now the only possible hitch that can be encountered in the ne-

Stamps as Detectives.


The new series of postage stamps
to be issued by the United States this
year will be a great departure from
the stamps to which letter writer's are
accustomed. Hitherto similar stamps
had been used all over the country,
and there has been no means of de
termining from what Office they have
been sold to the consumers. All this
will be changed under the new system
and every post office of the land will
receive due credit for the amount OF
postage stamps which It sells, which
furnishes the only basis upon which
the business of the office can be esti
mated.
The new postage stamps of 1907
will bear on their face the name Of
the city and state in which they are
sold, and Il will make no difference In
what part of the country they are
used, the civ Of their origin will have
the credit for their sale.
Postage stamps in the past have
proven to be exceptionally negotiable
plunder for the light-fngered gentry
The Chicago post office a little while
ago was robbed of nearly 100000
worth of stamps of small denomina.
tions, and 40 trace of the perpetra
tors was ever discovered.
