NOW
WITHCONCRESS
President and CaIifOrManS Agree
as to the Japanese ROOr' S Bill
TO Keep Coolies Out.

WASHINGTON, Feb. II. - Mayor
Schmitz and the members Of the Cali
fornia school board had Il conference
with President Roosevelt. and on leav-
ing the White House Mayor Schmitz
stated that he had no doubt the presi-
dent and the California delegation
would reach complete agreement on
the Japanese question.
He stated that the action of the con.
ferees on the immigration bill went
very far toward satisfying the Cali
fornians, but that there were two or
three other matters they had in mind
which he thought would be satisfac-
torily cleared up.
The Japanese school controversy is
thus settled in so far as President
Roosevelt. Mayor Schmtz and the
members of the san Francisco school
board are concerned. and an amicable
adjustment of the question now rests
with congress.
If the amendment to the immigration
bill proposed by Secretary Root ex-
cluding foreigners who use their pass
ports to secure admission to the Unit
ed States ito the detriment of labor
conditions in this country" is accepted
by the senate and house and the immi-
grafton bill is passed at this session of
congress the San Francisco board of
education will rescind its order estab-
fishing the oriental schools unless the
Japanese government agrees to prop
osition for separate schools which will
provide equal facilities for the Japa-
nese children.
Mayor Schmitz and his associates at
the conference assured the president
that the amendment to the immigra-
tion bill was entirely satisfactory to
them. Secretary Root participated in
the conference and made report on
his negotiations with the Republican
leaders in congress and the japanese
ambassador While Mayor Schmit2
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 order es-
tablishing the oriental schools and
again admit Japanese children TO the
white schools.

Useful to Know.

Nut stains on dark clothes should
be allowed to dry before any attempt
is made to rub them off. Very often
after drying the mud will come right
off with a good brushing, and leave
little or no mark.
Meat that is highly roasted or well
done" is not as easy to digest as that
which is "underdone" or rare" or
boiled,

The Genial. Villain.

Within his home town, his ward. his
circle, this new type of villain. the
criminaloid, is perhaps a good man, II
judged by the simple oldtime tests.
Very likely he keeps his marriage
vows, pays his debts. mixes" well.
stands by his friends, and has a con
tracted kind of public spirit. He is
ready enough to rescue imperiled ba-
bies, protect maidens. or help poor
widows. In some relations he is more
sympathetic and generous than his
critics. Perhaps his point Of honor
is to give bribes but not to take them
perhaps it is to stay bought or not
to sell out to both sides at once. The
type is eXemplitled by the st. Louis
boodler. who, after accepting $4,000
to vote against certain franchise,
was offered a larger sum to vote for
it. He did so, but returned the first

stand why he had returned it, BE
cause it wasn't mine. he exclaimed,

FOR The DRESSING TABLE.
Three Articles Which May Almost Be
Called Necessities.

The fad for fancy collars and turn.
overs has caused a necessity for two
new articles on the dressing table-in
fact, three. if studs and collar buttons
are worn long, fiat receptacle for
the turnovers, a box to hold collars
and smaller box to hold studs. The
dressing table Is most elastic piece
of furniture. Like the bookcase. it is
always full and yet can be made to
hold little more. Its small drawers
are a boon TO the woman who lacks
bureau accommodations, for, on the
whole, a long, narrow compartment or
drawer is ~ much more satisfactory
place for gloves than a glove-box,
which tales up too much space on
top, just as wells are much more con
veniently and safely preserved folded
UP and laid away than when left on
the bureau twined about a roll Too
many objects on top of a bureau or
dressing table is mistake, both
against good taste and comfort. They
are in the way when dressing and only
too often are not kept as immaculate
as they should be- On this account
celluloid. china or ivory utensils are
better than silver ones. although the
latter are more effective when they
are brightly polished If silver is used
a piece Of canton flannel should be
kept near at hand so that they may be
rubbed off every morning. while once
