asking for the re-engagement OF Mrs.

among the signers of the petition.

only completed and dedicated three
months ago, but this has not deferred
the women defendants of Mrs. Ashley,

ADDRESSES
STUDENTS IN PARK
st. Joseph's Presentation Acad-
emy Holds Graduation Ex-
ercises in IdOra Theater

BERKELEY, June s.-Rev. DR.. F. X.
Morrison, pastor of st. Joseph's church,
addressed the graduates of the St Jo-
.seph's presentation academy this after
noon at the exercises held at Idora Park
theater, Oakland, on the subject of Our
Men of Today"
Whether we realize it or not" said
DR.. Morrison, there is no greater prob
lem confronting the country than the
education of the children. What the
next generation will be and what the
next generation will do depends for the
most part on what we are doing for the
children today.
IF we can not send our young people
out from our schools with a clear sense
of the duties and dignities of life, with
a certain knowledge of the difference
between right and wrong, then we may
say that our work as educators is a
failure. 1t avails but little TO train a
young mans mind for the highest posi-
tion if his moral equipment units him
for the place.
1T avails little that we train the
minds of our young women so that they
can compete with man in all walks of
life if those finer sensibilities which are
the glory of the sex have not received
a fitting training.
we must train the whole child. mind,
will and agination, and we must inn
press on him that there is higher
sanction for his acts than mere human
convenience, and that above the law of
man is the law of God

). N. R. r. HAULS TRAINS WITH
ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVES

The completion of four big electric To-
way marks a new event in the history
of electric traction in America, as it
means the use of three phase system
for heavy traffic work as well
as the first attempt to handle the
entire traffic ON main trunk line
with electric power.
The Cascade Tunnel in the heart OF
the Cascade mountains, Washington, on
the Great Northern main line, is , and
G3 one-hundredths miles in length, and
the intention is to operate all passenger
and freight trains through this tunnel
as well as in the two yards at each end
of the tunnel by electric power. Tho
plan consists of the development of a
water power of 800 horse power in
Tumwatcr Canyon. The power plant i,
located on the Wcnatchce river, about
three miles west of Leavcnworth, and
the electricity is transmitted about thm-
ty miles to the tunnel.
The approximate cost of the work is
81 $50, 600, and it will be the first at
tempt in the country to handle freight
on heavy grades with anything bnt the
steam locomotives. The electric loco
motives are highly interesting electric
ally and mechanically. They are of the
double truck type; the total length is
Is feet the rigid wheel base however
is only IL feet SO they can take the
curves without difficulty.
The total weight of each locomotive
is ll5 tons and all OF this weight is on
feet in diameter
The motors are wound for pressure
of 500 volts, but the line pressure i.
5000 volts, which makes necessary the
invention OF special step-down trans
formers which add considerable to the
weight of the locomotive.
One advantage of the three phase mo.
tors is an important one in that they
operate at constant speed regardless
of grades and load.
The economy Of the plan is apparent
when it is taken into consideration that
speed of Is miles per hour will be
maintained as against eight miles pen
hour, with the $50 ton mallet type OF
steam locomotives now in use. thereby
enabling the company to nearly double
the hourly tonnage through the tunnel
It will be big improvement over the
present method OF handling passenger
trains, as passengers will not be an
noyed by smoke OF gas. Minneapolis

THIS MIGHT ALLAY THE

ton:
I'm the first place, japanese children
II p to b years of age should have the
right to the use of the public schools

dren should be made to obtain their ed
ucation in their own homes
Teachers in the public schools should
be compelled to pass an examination in
the japanese language, SO that they
might the more readily instruct the lit.
tie pupils in English
japanese flags should be employed a9
decorations in every school house.
japanese should be employed as ian.
TORS, and half the school board in every
town should be made up Of Japanese.
Care should be taken that no musical
program contains the song, columbia,
the Gem of the Ocean" II must be re-
membercd that Japan is also in the
ocean. The song might, perhaps, be al.
tered to columbia. One of the Gems of
the Ocean," but even in this form it
might prove offensive to a proud and
sensitive race.
In the high schools technical classes
should be formed to teach pupils the
imitation of trademarks. This would
save our guests from having to earn it
when they returned to Japan
These recommendations the society
believes, would cffectually settle the
school question to the satisfaction of
Japan. On more general lines the so.
cicty is in favor of the following propos-
ais:
All coast dcfenscs in the Pacific
should be RACED, as they are likely to
give offensc to the proud and sensitive
people of Japan.
No battleships should be kept in the
Pacific for the same reason. Further
more, had we large fleet in the Paci-
fic we might be tempted to deny some
japanese demand which we deemed I'M
reasonable, and thus still further offend
a proud and sensitive race.
a treaty should be made with Japan
whereby we agreed to recognize her do
minance of the Pacific and to with
draw entirely from that ocean in return
for permission to use the Atlantic when
not wanted by some other power.
If practicable. the army should be
disbanded, as the presence of stand
ing force in this country might possibly
constitute an offense to proud and
sensitive nation. Japan, it is believed
would raise no objection to the maintc-
nance of purely local police forces.
The adoption of all these plans, the
society believes. coud not fail to please
the entire peoplc-of Japan.-C. B.
