MEMPHIS, Feb 5.--After three
weeks search, youth who had for

been the puzzle OF Memphis police,
was positively identified as Roy {.
Porter, manager Of manufacturing
plant at Lathrop, Mo. Identification
was made by the father. John w. Por-

memory partially returned, and he
shouted: why, hello, dad"
Immediately afterward he was able
TO call his own name. tell where he
lived and give details OF his business
for the first time In three weeks.
Young Porter disappeared mysteri

BARNETT OPPOSES
CONVENTION HALL

The idea OF convention hall for
Detroit does not appeal TO Estimator
Edward Barnett, Of the Third ward,
at all. He has been rather liberal
member OF the board of estimates. but
balks at the expenditure of million
dollars to bring conventions here.
Detroit needs paving more than a
convention hall" says Barnett. "A
thing OF that kind is a fine-looking
structure. no doubt, but doubt
whether the big conventions do city
SO very much good after all. You
have 10 offer them big bonus TO
come and then they benefit only few
people The downtown hotels and sa-
looms get the bulk of the profit that
comes from the big conventions, but
what good does that do the rest OF the
people of Detroit.
Until the streets of the city are
wellpaved and clean, we might as well
not invite swarms Of visitors here for
they won't get the most favorable i'm
preston. And to get the streets in
condition will require more money.
One building We should have. how
ever, Is the proposed shelter and pub
lie convenience station now and II Is
only fair that the Second ward should
have all equal advantage. Such n
shelter as proposed would be a great
protection TO the public In stormy
weather"

California People Are
Right, Declares Senator

WASHINGTON, Feb 5.-Senator
Perkins, OF California, while unwilling
to talk OF the passage by the California
assembly OF the anti-Japanese school
bill, said that the privilege should be
given the California school authorities
10 furnish separate schools for the
Japanese.
THE people OF California in their at
tempt 10 secure regulation OF Japan
csc attendance In their schools do not
desire to do anything that will disrupt
al treaty policies with Japan,
declared Senator Perkins. The Ques-
ton as TO wehther Japanese should
be admitted to the schools and UNI
versities OF the state should be LETT,
in my opinion, TO the school boards
and the regents OF the colleges.
In the case Of the higher schools
and universities | do not think there
has been or would be in the future
any objection TO having japanese stu
dents. In the lower schools. however,
the objection has been that there were
often Japanese children much older
than the American children and the
former often kept back the latter be-
cause they knew little English ana
had to be taught slowly.
THE people of California are right
on the question The right TO furnish
separate schools for Japanese, as wen
as for other Asiatics. should be given
To the individual school authorities OF
the state as a police provision.
