Here and there the reading of the document was punctuated -with applause, and hearty handelapping from Democrats as -well as Republicans followed it3 conclusion.

SHORTAGE OF RAILWAY CARS

13 TERRY M GOVERN "NUTTY"!

Washington, Dec. 5. President Roosevelt's discussion of the San Francisco school situation in his message was received with great dissatisfaction by the California delegation in the bouse. The members of the delegation from that state are unanimous in their declaration that no treaty rights have been violated in excluding Japanese from public schols attended by whites-. Representative Hayes: said that if any treaty of the United States prevents California from running its schools as it sees fit the treaty is clearly unconstitutional, and should not stand. A meeting of the California delegation will soon be held to discussr the San Francisco situation. The suggestion In President Roosevelt's message that naturalization bo

extended to Japanese is extremely distasteful to the California delegation. Itayner Raises the Main Issue. Rayner introduced In the senate the following resolution cn the Japanese question: "Resolved, that in the opinion of the senate this government has no right to enter into any controversy with any foreign government relating to the public school system of any of the states in the Union; that it is the opinion of the senate that there is no

provision in the treaty between the Urited States and the government of Japan that relates in any manner to tnis subject, or in any way interfere with the right of the state of California to conduct and administer its system of pi'.Mie schools in accordance with its own legislation, and that it is the duty of the president of tho United States to notify the government of Japan and to notify any foreign government with which the question may arise that the public educational institutions of the state are not within the jurisdiction of the United States, and that the United States has no power to control their administration." Courts Mny Decide the Matter. It is expected by the officials hero that a judicial determination of tho rights of the Japanese in California to only school privileges will be secured through the institution of another suit in San Francisco before the federal court. This will be brought by an individual, and will probably take the form of an application for an injunction directed to the school board enjoining them from denying Japanese children from entrance to the public

schools so long as those privileges are conceded to children of other nationali

ties.

Interstate Board lias No Power to Act in the Matter. Washington. Dec. The Intentions and attitude of the interstate commerce commission respecting the car shortage in the northwest are made clear in a letter addressed to Senator Hansbrough by Chairman Knapp, in which he says: "The Inability of shippers to secure cars for the movement of their traffic is reported from various parts of the country, and amounts in some sections, as you observe, to almost a calamity. This matter has given the commission special concern, although we appear to be without any adequate authority to deal with such a situation,"' except in cases of discrimination, lie then says: "We have, however, ordered an investigation of this matter of car shortage and will prosecute It with the utmost dispatch. Already one or more agents have lxen sent to the northwest, and it is expected that hearings will take place in that region within the next two weeks. This appears to bo the most effective course the commission can take."

He Acts So Queerly That His Relatives Have Him Put in a Hospital. New York, Dec. C. Terence McGovem, who is matched to light "Young" Corbett in Baltimore late in January, was taken to the observation ward of the King's county hospital in Bnoklyn for examination as to his sanity. Aecomanied by his wife and stepfather, Joseph Kenny, McGovern arrived from Washington and went t his home in Brooklyn. According to the police he acted in so peculiar a manner at home that Mrs. McGovern was frightened. He then left the house and probed with a stick into the ash barrels along the curb. When the wagons came to remove the ashes McGovern is said to have pursued the drivers with a stick, but said he was doing it playfully. A policeman stopped him and took him to tho station, where McGovern was examined by Dr. Howell, of Seney hospital, who said the tighter appeared to be insane. McGovern went to the hispital without protest.

Texan Who Would Shut the Door of

Military Opportunity. Washington, Dee. 5. Representa

tire Slayden, of Texas, has introduced

a bill which provides that "on or before the 30th day of June, 1007, all enlisted men of the army who are ne

groes, or of negro descent, shall be

discharged from the service of the United States, and thereafter no negro,

or person cf negro descent, shall be enlisted or appointed In the army of

the United States."

In explaining his bill Slayden said:

"The bill speaks for itself. It was not

introduced for buncombe. My purpose N to give the congress of the United

States an opportunity to purge the

army of an admittedly dangerous el

mem. id say tnat tne negroes are

brave is not an argument against this measure. Manv men have been brave:

in fact, most men are in the matter of fighting. The Commafiche and Sioux Indians were as brave as men as can be. Rut no one would serioiisly suggest that we ultimately recruit regiments from them, put guns in their hands and station them near companies of white troops toward whom they entertain Inherent race hostility. The Twenty-fifth Infantry Is manifestly imbued with the same race hostility, and events have shown it to be quite as dangerous as the Sioux or Commanche would be." Apropos to this question of negro soldiers the president has expressed himself to the effect that he is more than willing to send to congress all the papers in connection with the discharge of the negro battalions of the

Twenty-fifth, and hopes the senate will adopt one of the resolutions asking for the papers introduced Monday.

Better Pay for Congressmen. Washington. Dec. a.

Thugs Who Murdered a Penitentiary Guard Are To I5e Given a New Trial. Jefferson City, Mo., Dec. 5. Division No. 2 of the supreme court has reversed and remanded for new trial the convict murder case against Yaughau. Raymond and Ryan, who broke out of the penitentiary a year ago after killing a guard. Judge Gantt wrote the opinion of the court He says that the trial court erred in not giving instructions that the jury could convict any one of the defendants or not, as seemed right. The defendants were tried Jointly, and attorneys for the defendants asked instructions for the conviction of any one separately, but Judge Martin held that they had committed a joint crime,

and all were guilty or all were innocent, and refused instructions. The supreme court says this was a reversible error.

When Saddles Were Unknown. Early Greeks and Romans rode horse3 bareback. They regarded it as effeminate to ride in a saddle. Tho modern saddle, with pommel, crupper and stirrups, was unknown to tho ancients. Nero gave out fancy coverings to his cavalry and the bareback riders cf the German forests used to laugh at them. Saddles with tree3 came into use in the fourth century; stirrups three centuries later.
