TYYASHINGTON, Sept. 1s.-Pres-
M ident Taft has directed the
v navy department to hold the
Pacific feet at San Francisco
until after the Panama-Pacific expo
sition ground breaking ceremonies.
This order was issued at Erie. Pa,
yesterday after the president had
listened to the earnest arguments OF
a San Francisco man who called upon
him to explain why the presence of
the feet was desired.
kilograms had been received by the
president urging him to hold the feet
at San Francisco, but he had refrained
from acting because he feared an or
der from him might be construed to
mean that he personally wished the
feet to remain because of his visit
TO San Francisco.
Great Coast Event
It was at once explained to him that
the ground breaking ceremonies have
taken on the aspect of a great Pacific
coast celebration, which will be at
tended by thousands of people from the
interior who have never seen warship.
1t was to give these persons the bene-
ft of a glimpse of Uncle Sans fight
ing ships. as well as to add to the
brilliance of the celebration. that the
request was made 10 hold the fleet at
San Francisco.
The president was assured that no
one in California would believe that
his order would be inspired by the de-
sire to exploit his own visit to San
Francisco
When the president learned of the
elaborate preparations that are being
made for the ground breaking cere-
monies, he expressed surprise and graf
ification. and also at once agreed that
it was proper for the fleet to remain.
He. accordingly. issued directions to
the navy department.

REVOLT MENACES SPAIN
KINGDOM IN A TURMOIL
Especial Gable TO The CALI

Especial Gable TO The Call
M ADRID, Sept. 18.-All Spain
IVA threatens today to become a
volcano of social turmoil.
The revolutionary movement, which
began with general strike in Bill
bao, is, threatening the entire coun-
try. The railroad men are on the
point of striking.
The step taken by Premier Ca
nalejas in declaring martial law in
the centers of disturbance appears
only to have aggravated the unrest
of the toilers. The hot blood of
southern Spain is not terrified by
the flash of naked sabers. There
have been numerous clashes be-
tween troops and strikers and the
encounters frequently have been
marked by bloodshed. especially in
Bilbao.
These things make increasingly
significant King Alfonso's recent
remark to Don Lind Rua. the re-
publican leader. whom he received
on board the royal yacht at Bilbao.
Your political operations" the
king is reported to have said, form
no obstacle to my receiving you
with the same affection as others,
and with even greater pleasure l
am monarchicaI because / was born
a king; had It been otherwise. no.
body knows what my opinions
might have been. Who knows but
that we shall soon all be republi-
cans?"
Premier Canalejas has been
called the last hope of the house of
Bourbon.
IF that be true say the radicals,
the house of Bourbon can con-
slider that it is lost"
The atmosphere in Spain is
throbbing with intrigue and revolu-
ton. There are secret meetings,
wild conf1scations by the police,
mysterious arrests and hurried
movements of troops. From this
condition of affairs there is no re-
lief in sight.

D. T. Bateman, school superintendent
of Santa Clara county. writes to The
Call to correct the impression, con-
yeyed in a recent dispatch from Sacra-
mento. that he was in favor of forcing
Japanese into the public schools.
To satisfy a number of queries put
to him regarding the status of certain
japanese children at Alviso, Bateman
wrote to State superintendent Hyatt.
and it was this letter which gave rise
to the impression of the Santa Clara
superintendents attitude, which he
says is mistaken
L am not in favor of forcing the
Japanese into our public schools nor of
having them mix or mingle in any
manner with our school children says
Bateman in his letter to The Call.

NS. NATIONAL
 INDUSTRIAL INSURANCE
By MARY BROWN SUMNER

Exclusive Service The Survey Press Bureau)
 Since the New York compensation law was declared unconstitutional. there have come into prominence two movements, for state and for national insurance respec- tivelA', against industrial accidents. Both have back of them the strong argument that such insurance, which has been Tn operation for thirty years in Germany, costing the worker nothing, tile employer only an inconsiderable state insurance premium in place of the heavy industrial insurance premium he pays in America, and. in consequence of the cheapness, put ting only light burden on industry, would yet give the worker payment on Il generous scale during the whole of his lncapacity, and in case of death would give his children support during the whole of childhood and his widow during the whole of widowhood. In contrast to these awards compensation laws of the New York type provide for only a limited period and may be regarded more in. the nature of measures for "tiding over a short period than for providing adequate com pensation for loss By common consent the insurance system is acknowledged to be the best, and the. question has been simply whether the best system is, for constitutional reasons. too good for America Since the check on the ground of unconStitutionality given to compan- sation Legislation by Judge Werner's de- cision on the New York law several learn ed lawyers, have gone deeply into the constitutional question as applied to lnsur- ance. They feel as a result of this study that state insurance has better constitl- tional basis than have state compensa- tion systems, and that national nsur- ance has a firmer basis still. Two states, Montana and Maryland, have for over year had state insurance systems in the mining industry, and within the last few months Ohio and Washington have passed state insurance laws covering most co., equations. These laws are based like the compensation laws on the police power. but they are furthermore backed by tho supreme court decision in the recent Okla homa bank insurance case that the sei4- ure of property in an ineonsiderable amount for the public good is constitu- tional This backing for the small com pulsory insurance premium is of course. entirely lacking for the large seizure of property under a compensation law. test case has been brought under the Washington act and a few months will prove how strong the police power, thus modified, will be in proving the constitu- tionality of state insurance.
 The case for national insurance does not, as does state insurance. depend on
