Japanese School
Question In Congress
DEBATE DURING WHICH THE RIGHT CALIFORNIA
sEGREGATING ALIENS IN SEP ARATE SCHOOLS UPHELD
FURTHER PROTECTING AMERICA PASSES AFTER
DEBATE BY MAJORITY o.

The school question which has sud-
denly been revived in California was
discussed in Congress at some length
on December II, and in view of the ca
bled report of the passage by the As
sembly of the California legislature of
a law to require Japanese to attend Sc
parate schools, the debate is of special
interest. The act under discussion
was an act to make it an indictable Of
fense in federal court for any two or
more persons to conspire against the
rights of an alien, which rights are Sc
cured by treaty. The bill passed by a
majority of one, but in the discussion it
was several times stated that California
or any other state had absolute power
to decide who should attend schools.
Following is some of the discussion:

DR.. BISHOPS MIND
HAS GIVEN WAY

Rev. Serene E. Bishop, d. D., the
venerable scientist and theologian, has
been stricken with senile dementia OF
somewhat violent type. So as to afford
him skilful care anG treatment, his
family has concluded to place him in
the Asylum. DR.. Bishop seems to real
ize something of his condition, for he
cheerfully consents to be taken to the
institution, saying he knows DR.. eter-
son and has confidence in him.
From a stroke of paralysis year
or two ago, DR.. Bishop was confined
to his home. His mind retained its
accustomed activity as readers of The
Star have occasionally known through
his contributions to this paper. A few
weeks ago DR.. Bishop had another
stroke and was reported critically i'll,
but that his mental powers should col
lapse before the end was not expected

point out some limitations which were
on that power. Now, this proposed
law does not undertake to say what
rights can be conferred upon aliens.
What it does undertake to say is this:
That when the government of the Unit
ed States confers a right upon an alien
as a result of a formal treaty made
with sovereign power, that it owes
it to its standing as a member of the
great nations of the world to see that
that right is maintained and enforced.
(Applause). This matter is not a new
proposition. President after President
has sent messages to Congress asking
that something be done to give the
Federal government power to enforce
it's treaties. What a humiliating posi-
tion the United States is in when it is
called upon by government with
which it has entered into a formal
treaty to enforce right guaranteed by
such treaty, and has to answer that il
has not power, and that such foreign
nation will have to look to a State
which that nation does not recognize.
Now, ! agree with this much of what

THE CHARTER DECISION.

Lorrin A. Thurston, in a published
letter, shows that the charters of the
Rapid Transit and Hilo Railroad com
panies are not affected by the recent
decision of the Supreme Court on the
Pearl Harbor Traction Co. case. They
received their charters from the Re
public Of Hawaii in the transition pc
Rod, which Congress ratified in the
Organic Act. Mr.. Thurston also shows
that none of the plantation and mer-
camille companies are affected, they
having incorporated under the general
law.

"Brigands and highway robbers"
are the terms Attorney Magoon applies
to those who are seeking to get hold
of the person of DR.. Atcherley and
land him in the asylum. He further
says that any lawyer who would make
such contentious as the attorney gem
eral makes in the case is not fit to
hold the job of attorney general, and
doesn't know as much as a schoolboy
ought to know.
"It is the most outrageous proceed
ing in violation or liberty that ever
took place in this country" said Ma
COON. 1T is not Atcherley's fight, but
everybody's. This man was set free
by Judge Robinson on habeas corpus
and the attorney general proposes to
ignore the decision on a claim that
a mere appeal acts as a Supersedeas, =
which is so absurd, unfounded and
ridiculous that no lawyer who advanc-
es it is fit to be attorney general.

AqCHERLEYS ARE ON Guard In LAWYER MAGOONS OFFICE

erley "siege" remains this afternoon
almost precisely as it was yesterday,
the only change being that the guard
force at the Magoon building has been
reduced to one man. Special police
stroll around there once in a while
however, but as there is nothing do
ing" they are soon off.
DR.. Peterson, superintendent OF the
Insane Asylum, was down this morn
ing, looking for news. He says he
is still searching for Atcherley.
Technically, that is correct, for while
he has him treed he has not actually
laid hands on or even seen the man.
Sheriff jarrett was in conference
with the Attorney-General just before
noon. 1t is understood that the lat
ter has some plan in mind, but what
that is could not be learned. Jarrett,
after the interview, stated that he
would continue the guard at the Ma
COON building, but merely to prevent
a clash between the Atcherley forces
and the asylum guards.
Atcherley and his wife were moved
last night from the spare room at the
Eva end of the Magoon building into
Mr.. Magoon's offices. There they are
fitted up in fairly comfortable shape
and, to all appearances, intend to stay
there until the Supreme Court takes

WHEREBY FINANCIAL EQUPOIsE RECLAIMED.

In giving out a financial statemen
covering the last six months OF the
biennial period ending on June 30
next, Governor Frear this morning
made the following comments:
"At the beginning of the period
there was a treasury balance of a lit
tie over $313,00O net cash. We are
figuring on saving round $2OS,OO0 by
leaving portions of the appropriations
unexpended. There is figured a deficit
of about 100000 that the Legislature
appropriated over the revenue.
THAT is notwithstanding we save
about $20S,000 not expended, we are
still left in a hole of about $4,000"
Asked how it was proposed to meet
this deficit in the next biennial period,
the Governor said
There are many ways:
"By increasing the revenue.
by reducing salaries.
by wiping out positions
by reorganization and rearrange-
ment so as to accomplish the work
with less machinery.
''By action of the Legislature which
will avoid expenditures in some ways" ."
