had bartered away its sovereign
rights for the sake of obtaining the
exclusion. of Japanese, and it could
not be sure of this exclusion SO long
as the enforcement of the law was left
to the Presidents discretion.
The President Culberson added. 'is
being supplied by Congress with a club
to hold over the California authorities.
If they do not surrender their control
over the schools the President will not
indorse exclusion.
FACTS WE'RE MIssTATED
gress has seen f1t to misstate the stu
alton in California in the interest of
the japanese. And the Japanese, tax
ing their cue from the President, assert
a claim that great injustice has been
done to them on the Pacific Coast.
I'm each of his messages the Presi-
dent has nlisstated the situation to the
effect that the Japanese had been de-
MED the privilege of education. when
the truth is that they had only been
denied the right to attend school with
white children"
The situation that would arise from
the adoption of the provision. Culber-
son said, would be this:
THE President will have authority to
exclude Japanese laborers and coolies
and he will hold that authority and the
exercise of It in abeyance and over the
heads of the California authorities and
will keep out the laborers and coolies,
provided that the civil authorities of
California will admit their children In
discriminatory to the public schools

ALAMEDA, Feb. 16.-Hans P. l. Jen-

through the left lung tonight by
Charles F. Moller. also a carpenter.
The shooting took place in front of
the Moller residence. 22f91s Encinal
avenue. where Moller had been lying
in wait for his victim.
Moller, after shooting Jenson, broke
into his home through rear door.
His wife, daughter and sister-in-law,
Mrs George Pierce, and her children
fed and hid In a nearby stable until
after Moller had disappeared Jenson
was removed to the Alameda Sani-
tariu1n, where DR.. J. e. Clark said, af-
ter an examination of the wound, that
1t would probably result fatally.
The shooting was caused by Jenson's
interference Friday night when, ac-
cording to the family, Moller attacked
his wife and threatened to kill her.

DEMoRALIZING CONDITIONS
Beyond the utteranres IN his letter
Captain Duke would say nothing yes

that he has been forced to get along
with a staff of assistants, part Of
whom. acting under the protecting
cloak of Chief Dinan. have been guilty
Of fnsubordination on several occa-
sions- He has been held responsible
for the prosecution Of criminal hunt
ing with a. force composed largely OF
men out Of sympathy with him and
who knew that the chief OF the de-
partment was unfriend1y to their cap
tain. This has led to a demoraliztng
condition, and It has resulted in the
resignation of Captain Duke. who feels
he cannot run his department satisfac-
torily under a superior officer who does
not like him and who. 1t is said. Is
anxious to discredit his work
There have been several Instances
OF late where Duke was reminded OF
his powerlessness to control the work
ing personnel under him. though he
declined to admit the fact yesterday.
TT would be ungracious OF me-" he
said. 'even If I had a grievances. to
criticize my subordinatas in this de-
partment and 1t would be equally fool
ish for me to criticize my superiorA I
am not satisfied. with the conditions
that prevail IN the detective depart

ice. have resigned No. I have no
idea who my successor viii be-
Chief Dinan was equally uncertain
as to Dukes successor. and said he
would have to discuss that matter with
Commissioner Leahy. VINO was reported
out OF town yesterday. Commissioners
