TERRIFIC DOWNPOUR
NEAR oCEANA

Much Alarm Caused at San
Francisco by Light
ming
TBy Associated Press.1

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. THE
roar of thunder and the vivid glare of
lightning preceded the breaking of a
storm today that did considerable
damage along the railroads in the CEN
trail part of the state.
The electrical display was followed
by terrific dOwnpour of short dura-
tion and heavy showers have contin-
ued at intervals throughout the day
and night.
A landslide at Oceana, between
Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo
on the Southern Pacific, has blocked
traffic there and will not be resumed
until tomorrow. Yosemite valley is in
the grip of a fierce snowstorm, the
ground being covered to a depth of
several feet and heavy snow is re-
ported from other sections.
The thunderstorm caused consider
able excitement in this city and sur
rounding country, but no damage be-
yond broken sewers is reported.
Lightning struck the fiagpole at the
St. Matthew Military school near
Belmont street during the course of
the storm and was torn down.
Fer the first time in nearly thirty
days the weather forecast for this vi
cinity is for clear weather tomorrow.
On the valley line a heavy storm is
raging in the Tehachapi and about San
| ia Paula, and the northbound Owl train
has been tied up for the night at Mo-
jave.
Both routes will be resumed in the
morning when there is less risk in op-
Grating the trains.
Tht present damage is not extensive,
and as clear weather is anticipated to-
morrow throughout the storm-sWept
area it is believed conditions will be
normal by tomorrow evening.

SAYS ONLY INSULT COULD
MAKE JAPANESE OUR FOES
Prominent CoIoradoan Declares Cow-
ardIy Abuse Would Be Necessary
to Change Their Friendship

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, Feb. z.
TT is my firm conviction that none
but the most cowardly insult and un-
righteous discrimination could bring
the Japanese nation to the point of
breaking the time-ohonored relations of
friendship with our people. Japan
looks to us with utmost rfiendliness as
an elder brother in the family of ma
tions.''
In these words, G. S. Phelps, secre-
tary of the international committee of
the Y. M. c. A, who for years has been
stationed at Kioto, Japan, expressed
his opinion of Japan's attitude toward
the United States
He continued: "The criticism of many
European nations that we are con-
ceited, narrow and provincial is partly
justified by our attitude toward other
nations. The new world civilization is
not to be Anglo-Saxon, Germanie, Slav,
Latin or Mongolian, but it will be cos
mODOlitan''

SENATOR NEWLANDS
SAYS NATION MUST
CONTROL JAPANESE
Continued from Page One,


but which, if given play on American
soil, would develop the strongest form
of race antagonism.
THAT history teaches that it is i'm
possible to develop each homogeneous
people by the juxtaposition of races
differing in color upon the same soil;
that under such Conditions race toler-
ance means an undesirable race amal-
gamation, and that race intolerance
means ultimately race war or the re-
duction Of one race to servitude.
Our Duty to Ourselves
"That therefore our duty to our race
and our institutions and the mainten-
ance of friendship with races differing
in color, alike demand that we abandon
the attempted adjustment of these
questions by treaty and pass a national
law to take effect upon expiration of
existing treaties, emphatically declar-
ing our country is open to white immi-
grafton alone; that such immigration
shall be restricted to those of constitu-
ton, character and training that will
ultimately fit them for American citi-
zenship and that other races shall be
excluded from immigration except for
purposes of trade, travel and educa-
ton" -
Senator Newlands adds that dignifed
legislative action of this kind could not
be made the ground of Offense by any
nation affected; that Japan herself
would be the first to take similar action
were the integrity of her race and her
institutions threatened; that the United
States had always been friendly to
Japan in her struggle to maintain and
protect her territorial and race integ-
rity, and that such action was entirely
consistent with absolute friendliness
between the nations

Board of Estimate Committee
to Confer With P. S. Com
mission on Fourth Ave. Line.

The select committee of the Board Of
Estimate now has full charge OF the
Fourth avenue, Brooklyn. Subway pro-
ject. The Board to-day placed the mat
ter in the committees hand, with in.
structons to confer with the Public
Service Commission with the view Of
making a change in the contracts. This
before displayed a disposition to co.
operate with the commission. The ac-
ton was taken on motion Of Comptroller
Metz.
1T seems to me-" said Mr.. Metz that
there ought to be some settlement OF this
Fourth avenue controversy, and some
harmonious understanding between the
Commission and this Board. There has
been no. cooperation between us, It
seems to me about time we arrived at a
mutual understanding. He then made
formal motion which was adopted
without comment. Preceding this Mayor
Mcclellan called attention to the fact
that the Board was still restrained from
acting on contracts awarded by the
Commission for six sections Of the sub.
way by the Metz-Levy injunction.
The old Council Chamber was filed
with scores OF South Brooklyn citizens.
While hey had been hoping to see
action in the subway question they
were not disappointed at the develop
uents.
