YELLOW PERIL AGlTATES
THE CHICAGO SCHOOLS
Chinese and Japanese Apply for
Permission to Attend

CHICAGO, Aug. 3o.-The yellow
peril' in the public schools, which
subject agitated California and other
sections of the nation two years ago,
and the general proposition of throw
ing the Chicago public schools open
to adult aliens, came up at meeting
of the school management committee
of the Chicago board of education
yesterday.
The question arose on the application
of YIN Chan, 2S years old, Chinese
and Yonezi Yamanaka, 25 years Old,
a Japanese, for admission to one OF
the high schools.
The issue came up in open session,
but Immediately was laid over for ac-
tion in executive session. But a halr
hours discussion brought no decision,
and the question will be put up to the
entire board of education tomorrow.
1--WE talked the matter over thor
oughly, but arrived at no decision,
said Theodore w. Robinson, chairman
of the committee. 1T is a grave ques-
ton. If we decide to admit alien adults
to our schools, 1 am not in favor OF
any discrimination. The Chinese and
Japanese have as much right to be
admitted as the Bohemians, Russians
and italians. 1t is up to the board to
decide the whole general question"
81 think we might admit adult
aliens, but also we might impose
some restrictions" said President AL
fred r. JJrion OF the board. For in
stance, we might ask of candidates or
this class certain credentials and quail
ificationS."

.HETCH-HETCHY PERMIT
VALUELESS, SAYS MAYOR
Mccarthy Urges San Franciscans
to Show Necessity for a
New Water Supply

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 30.-Mayor
Mccarthy yesterday expressed his con-
viction that the permit given by the
late secretary of the interior, James X.
Garfield, to the city of San Francisco
to obtain a water supply from the
Hetch Hetchy valley in the Sierras,
was not worth the paper 1t was writ
ten on. He said President TART nad
sI.own this quite clearly to the San
Francisco delegation that went to
Washington recently to oppose Secre-
tary Ballinger's action for the revoca-
ton of the Garfield grant.
He gave the president credit for sug-
gesting the compromise that was
adopted-the appointment OF a board
of army engineers to ascertain wheth-
er the Hetch Hetchy supply was
necessary to the city.
Recently the voters of the city au-
thorized bond issue of $45,000,0O0 for
the Hetch Hetchy waterworks. The
mayor says this vote will be inef-
fective unless congress passes an act
assuring the city's right to this supply
He says President Taft has promised
his support of such measure, If the
ary engineers report is favorable.
In accord with the labor party s
pledge to press forward the develop
ment of Hetch Hetchy, Mayor Nc
Carthy urges that everything possible
be done to convince the government
of the necessity of this water source,
but he suggests at the same time that
part of the bonds authorized for this
work be diverted for the purchase of
the Spring Valley Water company
ent supply is drawn. The voters re-
Gently rejected the proposed bond is
sue for the purchase of the Spring
Valley property.
