FULL GROWN JAPANESE Ex-
CIUDED FROM SCHOOLS

San Francisco, Feb. 25.-All Jap
anese over 21 years of age were ex'
cluded today from the Sausilito
schools. in accordance with the de-
cision of the school trustees that no
children over school age should have
the privileges of the schools. Trouble
arose over a Japanese 81 years of
age, named Sum Cho, who was en-
gagged as a servant and essayed to
spend a share of his time in the pri-
mary department of the schools. The
principal refused to admit him, and
his employer, an attorney, appealed
to the trustees. This action resulted
il the exclusion of other japanese
already in the schools. 1t is expected
the attorney will take the case to the
courts.

TRAClN6 THE MURDERER
Believed to Be One of Numerous
Band The Murderer Placed in
Jail at Colorado Springs in Order
to Avoid Lynching.- Guiseppe
Tells Why He Did the Murder.

| Denver, Colo, Feb. 25.-Most of the
priests of the Catholic church in this
city believe that Father Heinrichs,
who was murdered by Giuseppe Guar
naccio, a Sicilia1 anarchist st the
communion service in ST. Elizabeth s
church Sunday morning, was mark
ed man from the time he arrived
here last August. 1t is believed that
the plot to kill him was laid even be-
fore he left Paterson New Jersey.
Through the efforts of Chief of Po-
lice Michael Delaney it is hoped that
parts of the country will be placed
under arrest within a few days. De,
la1ey said today: I'VE have traced
Giuseppe and his band from the stone
quarries of southern Italy and locat-
ed most of the towns where they
live. After going to Spain and South
America they came to this country
and at first all lived at Paterson, aft
erwards scattering. We have located
four who were detailed to work in
of them"
In the meantime, Giuseppe, who is
kept in Jail at Colorado Springs in
order to prevent lynching, vehement
archist body that wishes to murder
priests or that there was a plot at
| the bottom Of the shooting. q did
| the killing he says, ION my own ac
count, because 1 hate priests of all
kinds'
The body of the murdered priest
was placed this morning upon the
sanctuary of ST. Elizabeth's church,
will lie in state until after the public
| funeral services tomorrow. The Fran
ciscan Brothers held a private cere
mony over the body this morning,
after which the doors of the church
were thrown open, and during the
day a constant procession passed
| through the church to look upon the
face of the martyred priest. The
Franciscan Brothers were surprised
after the murder to learn that Father
Leo wore next to the skin heavy
chains, to each link of which was
attached hooks sharpened to needle
lpoint. The body and arms are SCARED
lshowing that he has been undergoing
his unusual self-imposed penance fol
many years.

Washington, Feb. 25.-Chinese di-
tails and the calling of a conference
of viceroys and provincial governors
in Manchuria, all bearing upon the
relations between China and Japan
and China and Russia, have led the
State Department to expect delivery
by Mr. WI, the newly appointed Chi
nese minister, of some special mes
sage on the subject soon after his ar
rival in Washington, which should ba
in the course of a fortnight. In tho
meantime nothing tangible is before
the state department beyond the pro-
test of American textile manufactur
ers and exporters against the blow
delivered their trade by the Japanese
administration of railroads in Manchu
ria When the matter is formally
brought to its attention it is proba
BILE the state department will take
some action, but as far as can be ga
thered there is no present intention
of making an effort to secure joint
action in the nature of compulsion
directed against Japan.
Germany Also Interested.
Berlin, Feb. 25.-Sun Pao Ki, Chi
nese minister at Berlin, received in'
structions some weeks ago from Pc
kin to discuss with the German for
eign office the Japanese treatment OF
trade in Manchuria and to broach the
possibility of the United States and
Germany entering into a special agree
ment concerning the maintenance of
equal trade opportunities in all Chi
nese territory The foreign Office has
received his suggestions in courte-
Gus. inquiring, but non-committal man
ner China's idea of special agree
ment between the United States and
Germany appears to rest in the be-
lief that these two alone of the great
commercial states would be likely
to oppose seriously JsCan's DISPOSE

in Manchuria in favor of her own me-
chants.

ARMY CAR MAY TAKE
LEAD IN AUTO RACE,

Laporte, Ind, Feb. 25.-The social
ed Army" car, carrying a message
from General Grant in New York to
Fort Leavenworth, Kas., reached Mi
chigan City early today, and after a
short rest resumed the trip for Chi
cago. From present indications it is
almost certain that the Army car will
reach Chicago ahead of the American
car. The latter lost much time in
northern Indiana, particularly after
leaving the rolling prairie, by taking
roads where the snowdrifts were
practically insumountable. The French
car left New Carlisle this morning,
working a weary way through the
snow.

for debates. These are always gladly
sent, as by this the city receives the
best kind of advertising.
Professors in economies regard the
Des Moines plan as representing one
of the great events in the economic
history of the country. They believe
that it marks the turn from the old
style of municipal government to the
newer and more democratic form of
commission government.

that juries in a saloon case have no
authority to pass on that point In
his opinion the jury is to decide mere
ly whether or not the saloon keeper
kept his place open in violation OF
