1 Secy. Metcalf Ordered to San Francisco to Investigate Alledged Discrimination In Treatment of Japs. ALL ACTION WILL AWAIT HIS INVESTIGATION THERE Administration is Convinced That local Politics of Small Variety is Back of All the Trouble. Publishers' Press! Washington, Oct. 26- The president is determined to avoid a break with Japan if it is possible. Secretary Metcalf of the Department of Commerce and Labor will start for San Francisco tomorrow as the special commission of the President to investigate the alleged discrimination against Japanese children by the scfcool authorities which it z charged, constitute a violation of our treaty obligations with Japan. The secretary will confer with the governor of California, the mayor and school officials of San Francisco, and with all other persons whose information may be of value in arriving at the facts In the case and will bring back to the president at the earliest possible moment as accurate and comprehensive report of the whole matter as he is able to prepare. , , - Will Await Metcalfs Word. Until the president hears from Secretary Metcalf he will not attempt to take any action bearing upon the situation. Indeed, were h3 desirous of moving in the case he would probably be at a loss to know how and where to begin. lie does not know yet just what was done against the Japanese by the school officials. -Neither does he know whether or not the treaty obligations of the United States would be violated if such discrimination as la alleged has taken place, nor whether it Is in the power of the national government to right the wrong if wrong has been done. All these facts must be determined betore the head of the administration can take any action towards disciplining the parties responsible for the stirring up the trouble on the coast or placat ing the aggrieved Japanese. Gocd Man for Work. The President regards Secretary Metcalf as the very best man at hand for the delicate- task assigned. He is a Califomian by birth and fife long experience and knows not only the people he has to deal with but Is familiar with the political considerations that enter into the equation to be worked out. That local politics ofa very small variety is back of all the trouble the administration is convinced, but that does not obscure the fact that the trouble is there and in plenty. It is quite likely too that Ambassador Aoki, who first brought the matter to the attention of Secretary Root yesterday, knows the springs which are moving the automata, and is confident as the American authorities that the trouble will be ended with the closing of the polls on election day, but in his diplomatic capacity he cannot well overlook such a flagrant insult to his people as the reports charge to San Franciscos door.

DISCUSSES HOW TO GIVE PRAYER Dr. Elliott Shows Great Difference Between Praying and Saying Prayer. WHEN PRAYER HAS EFFECT NOTED EVANGELIST SAYS THAT IT DOES NO - GOOD TO PRAY WHEN SPIRIT OF UNFORGIVENESS IS IN BREAST. Before a large nd appreciative congregation composed of members of various denominations Dr. Elliott, for a third time addressed local church goers last night at the South Eighth Street Friends church. With masterful command and familiar words he discussed the Lord's Prayer, taking each separate statement and demonstrated its import and beauties. The Evangelist took his text from Luke, "Lord teach us to pray" and defined the meaning of 'pray as is meant by the text and not as the majority of persons seem to think it. "Teach us to pray," the Doctor said in speaking on his theme, "and not to say prayer." Continuing he sited. "One may live as one pleases and say -prayer, one might, live a life of crime and deceit and say prayer, one might live an inconsistant life and say prayer, yet that is not praying. I want to call especial attention to prayer and will give a model, 'Our which art in Heaven and on through that wonderful and expressive justaxposition of divine words. I expect for the rest of my life to go on using that prayer for it has the Spirit of the Lord in it. I can't say why it is called the 'Lord's 'Prayer, and I don't suppose that there are any pastors In the. pulpit today that can tell why it is called by that name. In reality it is not the Lord's Prayer, but was that given to the Deciples in answer to the petition of one of their number. You cannot take a step in prayer until you get into the right relationship to God." "Saloons are a legitimate business. just as much so as the business of the church," was the startling statement and comparison made by the Doctor, "Just as much so, I say, as long as wc give them licenses to run. Just as much so, in a legal sense, but not just as much so in a moral and Godly sense." In conclusion Evangelist Elliott observed. "We can't pray until everything is healed between us and our neighbors, until every bit of ill feeling has been eliminated and there are no misunderstandings. No Christian should ever hargor in his breast any spirit of unforgiveness." ANNIE OAKLEY WINS WINS AGAINST HEARST "Willie" Hearst is having troubles ' all of his own. His campaign In New ; York is only a small portion. An Illinols court recently rendered a judgment to Annie Oakley, reputed to be j the champion wing shot of the world, for $27,000.

EST PRAISE City Superintendents of North ern Indiana Compliment Supt. Mott, School Board and the Teachers. THE BUILDINGS FOUND TO BE ALMOST MODEL ONES In Nearly Every Phase ot Work, Richmond Was Shown to Outrank Sister Cities. The Northern Indiana Superintendents Club in session here snt yesterday in visiting the schools of the city and last night at Supt. Mutt's office in discussing what they saw. The meeting last night really resolved itself into a praise service fo rthe system here and Suitt. Mott. The class of teachers, the manner of instruction, the kind of Lui'riing, the decorations of them, the ventilation, the school boards, the manual training department, the- public "'ayground and many other featuics of the schools in Richmond wer? complimented and it was agreed by idl that the Quaker City had one of the very best school sjstems In the West. Practically no recommendations wero made for improving conditions here. A subject of much favorable comment was in the cheerfulness of the teachers and the i freedom of the scholars in making .recitations. The visiting directors paid especial attention to the manner of teaching , reading. This is recognized as the fundamental branch of instruction, and the visitors said that they wero fully convinced after calling on the different classes that Richmond ' has justly earned the distinction of being unusually strong In the department of reading. Decorations Especially Fine. The decorations of the schools here were found to be much better than in most cities. While in many cities the pictures on the walls are cheap affairs, the superintendents found that in the local schools the walls are adorned with real works of art. The rule that a picture must, always be worth "more than the frame In which it was placed, and the frame must never be a shabby affair, they thought was excellent. It was found that the salaries of teachers was higher here tlan those paid generally, over the state. Superintendent Mott's system of increasing the teacher's salary as he became more proflcent In his work was complimented. The number of pupils in a recitation room is 37 In Richmond, much lower than in most other cities. Lawrence McTurnan, assistant state superintendent who is attending the meeting of the club said last night that too much praise could not be given Richmond's schools. Ho said that the people here were especially fortunate in having a superintendent that was progressive in his management .of affairs and that he was given the hearty support of a broad minded school board. He stated that the superintendents were highly pleased with the public play grounds venture here and that they felt the manual training work was well supervised and doing much good. The active members of the club in attendance are: O. R. Baker, Winchester, B. F. Moore, Marion, R. A. Ogg, Kokomo, G. L. Roberts, Muncle, J. N. Study, Fort Wayne, W. A. WirJ, Bluffton, J. B.
