IN CONGRESS
THE JAPANESE QUESTION.
President Suggests Clause in Imml'
grafton Bill Now Tending,

Washington, D C.-That the San
Francisco school question viii be set
tied soon is the general opinion in
official circles. Mayor schmitz and his
associates received q message from
the president saying that he desired to
confer with them at the White House.
It is stated that President Roosevelt,
through Secretary Root, has proposed
to Speaker Cannon and to the chair
men Of the senate and house commit.
tees on immigration, and other Sepub
lican leaders in congress, that clause
be inserted in the immigration bill
now pending in congress which will
bar japanese coolie labor from the
United States. Mayor schmitzs dec
laration fayors such a proposition.
Secretary Root is preparing the
proposed amendment to the immigra'
ton bill, which will exclude all Asia:-
les coming from the Philippine Islands
and the Hawaiian islands from ad-
mission to the mainlands OF the Unit
cd States. Laborers coming direct
from Japan to this country are now de-
MED passports, and the only way they
have been able to gain admission to
this country has been by first going to
the Philippines or Hawaii and later
coming to the United States. It IS
learned from high official source
that this arrangement which is only
intended to exclude the Japanese Ia
borers, until a new treaty can be ne
gotiated with the Toxic government,
haA been accepted by the japanese.

The storm last fall damaged cotton to
such an extent in Mississippi that the
demand for sound seed for planting will
be great this spring. There is move
ment to bring in seed from sections
west of the Mississippi for planting
purposes, and in this there is an ele-
ment OF danger from the boil weevil.
The legislature at its session last year
ala not see fit to continue the appropri-
alton for a boil weevil quarantine, and
the people have no protection whatever
from the importation of seed from in.
fected localities. 1t would be well for
all who purchase seed to insist on an
affidavit accompanying the seed that it
did not come from an infected district.
This will not be absolute protection,
but might prevent the importation OF
this pest. 1t is matter of great i'm.
poHtance and worthy OF careful coasid-

SPEEDWAY DRIVERS WILL

Success of the First Meet
Encourages Amateurs
to Give Another

The success of the first matinee
races of the Park Amateur driving club
on the speedway of Golden Gate park
was so marked that the amateur reins-
men of that organization have decided
to hold another meet on the afternoon
of June %. They feel that as all the
horses were in training and the mem-
bers were keen on the sport it would
be well to keep interest in the light
harness horse alive. The first meeting
of the club gave pleasure to several
thousand spectators in addition to the
members who took part in the racing.
meeting of the directors and MEM
bers has been called for next Wednes-
day night at the Palace hotel. when a
program will be decided upon and en-
tries will be received. Owing to the in
terest being shown in road driving at
the present time it is expected that
there will be a larger entry than on
the occasion of the first meet This
means more exciting racing. although
when the amateurs are driving all the
races are interesting.

astic horseman and riding will again
be one of his favorite diversions TO
relieve the monotony of the training
grind.
There can be no question as to Britt's
condition, as he has been in rough
training for fully year. In this time
he has gone on the road with whatever
boxers were training at Shannon's and
has also had on the gloves with them.
His friends claim for him that he is
stronger than when he took part in
his last fight and that he can hit
harder. These are qualities which only
the test in the ring will prove, although
Britt's outdoor life should have helped
him in these particulars
After Nelson's fight with Cans et
Goldfield he did a lot of theatrical
work, which included boxing some nine
rounds each day with many sparrins
partners. AS these were changing all
the time, it gave him lot of expert
ence.
today to discuss training quarters with
Jimmy. Both the Britts like Shannon's
as training quarters, but 1t has been
pointed out to them that IL will help
the house to have the Californian train
on this side of the bay. where visitors
can watch him work without spending
all the afternoon on the trip to his
quarters Britt mas trained at the
ocean beach in the past, and it is ex-
pected he will be able to find some de-
sirable location out there, where the
conditioning process can go on under
pleasant conditions.
After spending the past winter in the
east Nelson has arrived at the con-
clusion that the climate of California
suits him better than that OF his home
near Chicago and he has decided to
make his permanent home here. His
present idea is that he wants to live
in southern California and he expects
to buy place there.
