EDITOR
~ - E6Er IT SETTLED

Following closely the opinion of the deputy
city and county attorney, the supervisors give ev,
ldence OF intention to restrict the civil service
commission to little more than nominal powers
The attitude of the board was shown last
night in adopting two reports each of which re-
fuses to accept as authoritative or advisable the
work of the commission in making large mum,
Der of changes in the administration of the pO-
lice and fire departments. With one exception,
that of Supervisor Pacheco, the board adopted
the reports, in which such criticisms as the fol,
lowing are thickly sprinkled:
1--WE recommend that the remainder of the report
(as and regulations and manuals for the two
departments) be taken letter from three private
citizens"
AS a report of the Civil Service Commission it is
out of place"
"All of these powers are as far from the control
of (civ seryice) commissioners they are from
that Of the board of harbor commissioners" -
Right or wrong, such criticism as this shows
that the board of supervisors and the civil serv-
ice commission have reached the point where a
definite settlement Of the commissions powers is
Imperative. &c., -
1T the commission has no authority to promul-
gate rules, regulations and manuals for the con-
duct of the police and fire department, it might
as well stop useless expenditure of energy.
If the commission has no authority to work
for the improve1nentzof discipline in the depart
ments, to work for more equipment, it might as
well end a fruitless and thankless task
"Such use of power is usurpation of the pow
ers of the board Of supervisors" says one of the
reports adopted last night
If this is the case, it should be definitely es-
tablished now. The courts are at hand for an
of the law. Why not secure that
Interpretation speedily?

JAPANESE PAPER
TO RETRACT TALE

Calling on the Nippu Jill to make
a public retraction and apology for
the story published a few days ago,
alleging a criminal assault on a Jap
anese woman by three colored SOL
| letter to Editor Sega of that paper,
worded in straight-from- the-shoulder
language.
The department commander, as
soon as the sensational story was
picked up and printed by the Ameri-
can morning paper, started an inves-
tigation, and also had a translation
made of the original Japanese article.
which proved to be even more denun-
ciatory. against the American soldier
than that printed by the morning pa
per. The Investigation, as stated in
the Star Bulletin, proved the entire
tale to be fabrication, the truth be-
ing that three white soldiers had fore
ed entrance into . house, bluffed a
Japanese into taking drink which he
didn't want, and handled his wife
somewhat roughly, after which disor-
derby conduct they were put out by
the husband. No one was beaten up,
and no. criminal assault was accom-
pIished or ATTEMPTED '">':.~
General Funston tells Editor Sega
in his letter that he must retract the
! false statements through the columns
J of the Nippu jill or stand confessed as
malicious d'sturber OF the peace and
a breeder of racial tl-feelfng, in a
place which Is silgnIarly free from the
latter. He points cut that the true
facts could have been, easily ascer-
tanned by the simple process of ques-
tioning the alleged victims of the as
sault, but that this was not done, and
an ineendiary article, calculated to
raise ill-feeling between the Japanese
population and the troops, given pub
licity. .~~,:.f. L.. -.
THE publication of this article is
one of the grossest pieces of injustice
against the American soldier that I
have ever come across" said General
Funston this morning. II do not mini
mize the actual offense committed,
and If it were possible at this late date
to apprehend the three white soldiers
who raised the disturbance IN the
Japanese home they would undoubted-
ly stand trial, and probably get heavy
sentences. However, there Is vast
difference between rough house dis
turbance and a capital crime, and to
spread such a tale broadcast was in
excusable / wish that our libel laws
we're such that suit could be brought"

CHINESE-A AMERICAN
GUARDsMEN MAKE A r..
SPLENDID SHOWING

The Chinese-American company of
the national guard assembled at guard
headquarters last night, the recruits
being given their first instruction In
the school Of the soldier. The men
showed a marked aptitude for the
work, and soon mastered the rests,
facings and steps, the Instructors hav.
ing no trouble in getting quick results.
Sixty men turned out.
It had been intended TO form the
company into squads last night, but a
heavy rain prevented work out OF
doors, and the two rooms Of the bun
galow are too small to permit Of any
company formation. >
Tuesday was chosen as the drill
night, and until the new armory Is
completed, the men of the new CON-
PAW will meet at guard headquarters
on that evening at 1880. 1t is expect
ed that the armory floor will be ready
for drilling In two weeks.

CHINA LOSING TERRITORY

The Republic of China is evidently losing ter
ritory by her inability to compose internal at
fairs and present united front to the aggres'
sions of Russia On November new Russo
China agreement was signed at Picking, by which
the autonomy of outer Mongolia was recognized.
Associated Press dispatches say that Russia CON
tinues to acknowledge Chinese suzerainty and
undertakes to refrain from colonization or mill
tary occupation of the country, aside from con
sular guards.
The agreement provides that autonomous out
er Mongolia shall comprise those regions former
ly under the Jurisdiction of the Chinese governor
at Urga, the Tartar general at Uiassutai and the
Chinese governor at Kobde, but since no detailed
maps of the country exist, the exact future from
tier will be the subject of negotiations

until recently Senator O'GorTnan of New York
was believed to be the only Democratic member
Of the upper house who would insist that no final
action on the new bill be taken at this session,
but a little more than a week ago he was def.
ntely Joined by Senators Hitchcock and Reed.
The committee still contains four .stanch sup
porters of the Wilson policy Owen, Hollis,
POmerene and Shafroth
These four, however, were outmaneuyered and
outyoted by coalition. Of the other Democrats
with the Republicans on the committed This
coalition succeeded in voting into the bill amend
ments which, says Chairman Owen rather bitter
N, "alter the entire theory Of the bill" The
amendments were as follows i

That each regional bank be controlled by nine d.

THE SERVICE STANDARD UPHELD

Qualification that the men of the 25th
infantry have been fully cleared of an ugly
charge against three Of their number will be gen
orally mingled with indignation at the gross ex-
aggeration of the affair in portion of the press
The Star Bulletin, after learning last Satur-
day of the alleged assault, ascertained that no
report had been made either to the police or the
army authorities and thatSthe rumOr itself was
so vague and unsuBstantiated as to>be open to
Immediate suspicion For that reason this pa
per declined to print the story though OF its own
accord it began to look into the facts Later
when a portion of the press gave the affair eA,
treme and detailed publicity, and the police anu
army officials began their investigation, all the
essential facts were printed in this paper and 1t
was at once seen how distorted were the earlier
versions it,
The men of the service quite naturally have
resented the unfairness of their treatment in the
publication of idle rumor. We believe in giving
a square deal to every man, whether IN Khaki or
civilian clothes, and the 25th has come out of
the affair with cOlors flying, In fact, the
entire service has been exonerated of the worst
