GUARDS INTEREST
OF ENTIRE WEST
ADMINISTRATIONS POLICY IS TO
COMBINE THE MAXIMUM
OF EFFICIENCY.
ISSUES STATEMENT
Sets Forth the Governments' View Of
the AntI-Japanese School Legisla-
ton Now Before the Cali
fornia Legislature.

Washington, Feb. 9.-"The policy OF
the administration Is to combine the
maximum of efficiency In achieving
the real object which the people Of the
Pacific slope have at heart, with the
minimum Of friction and through,
while the misguided men who ad-
vocate such action as this against
which / protest are following a policy
which combines the very minimum Of
efficiency with the maximum OF insult
and which, while totally failing to
achieve any real result for good, yet
might accomplish An infinity Of harm"
In this language President Roose-
welt Monday in a long telegram to
Speaker p. A. stanton, OF the Cal
ifornia assembly. set forth the gov
erAment's view of the Anti-Japanese
school legislation now before that
body.
Cause for Irritation.
The president stated that the bill
gives Just and grave cause for irrita-
tion and that the government would
be obliged Immediately to take action
In the federal courts TO test such
legislation because II is held to be
clearly a violation Of the treaty OBJ
legations Of the United States. The
telegram to Speaker Stanton was sent
only after a conference with Senator
Flint and Representative Kahn, Of
California and F. X. Lane, OF the inter
state commerce commission.
Concluding his message to Speaker
Stanton, the president says:
III In the next year or two the
action OF the federal government fails
to achieve what IL Is now achieving.
then through the further action of the
president and congress, II can be
made entirely efficienct. am sure
that the sound judgment of the people
of California Will support you. Mr.,
Speaker, in your efforts. Let me re-
peat that at present we are actually
doing the very thing which the people
Of California wish 10 be done and to
upset the arrangement under which
this is being done can do no good and
may do great harm. If In the next year
or two the figures OF immigration
prove that the arrangement which was
worked so successfully during the
last sixth months is no longer work
ing successfully, then there would be
ground for grievance. and for the re-
veraal by the national government Of
It's policy. But at present. the policy
Is working well and until It works
badly 1t would be grave misfortune
10 change Il, and when changed It can
only be changed effectively by the
national government"

thereto. He said he had come to Wash

it's membership. and that the results had
been far greater than he had ever hoped
for. He thanked the members of the
church for the manner in which they
lined briefly how the work has grown in
the period of his passionate.

MAKING READY NEW STREET
Work Started on Thoroughfare Un
der Railway Bridge.

Active work preparatory to opening the
new street under the steam railway
bridge at the foot of 18th street south
west, to connect 18th with Water street
was started yesterday.
Several teams and plows were put to
work blowing up the semi-frozen earth
in order to cut the old coal yard
through which the new street will run,
down TO grade. Considerable material will
have to be removed In order to bring
the ground to grade preparatory to the
construction of granite roadway and
sidewalks.
For several weeks. ever since the South
ern Rail way Company removed an old tenn
porary bridge into the yards at the foot
of 18th street, drivers OF heavy teams
have been using the way under the steam
railway bridge as a short cut from 14th
to Water street and in the opposite direc-
ton.
The ground, which has been used for
years as coal dump, was soft and soon
became little better than a quagmre
through which pedestrians could not go.
Oftentimes wagons would sink hub deep
in mud.
Travel has been temporarily stopped at
this point while the street building opera
tons are In progress. In about a month
the street will be completed and ready
for use.

SCHOONER NEELY OVERDUE
Her Loss Feared, Although Agent
Still Has Hopes.

The four-masted schooner William
Nicely. Capt. Holm, which sailed from
Carteret, n. j.. for Savannah December
26. has not yet arrived at her destina-
ton. 1t Is feared she has fallen a Vic
tim to the winter gales that nave
swept the Atlantic In the past month.
The vessel has aboard a cargo of
about LOO tons of fertilizer. Since she
left Carteret no tidings of her have
been received.
In addition to the master the vessel
carried a crew of ten men. All, il is
feared, have persisted.
The agent of the vessel at New York
has not given up the schooner for lost
1t has several times before taken from
a month to six weeks to make voyage
similar in length to the one on which
It last sailed.
1t IS possible that it might have been
blown out to sea many miles off the
course and is now working its way
back to the coast, and will be reported
as arriving at some port. The Nicely
was built at Fairhaven. Conn, in 1891
and is owned at Matawan, n. J.
