Robbins Says City Should Have Had an OraJ Hearing in Lincoln Suit. - ""TY STUDY SAYS NOT HE CONTENDS THAT THE CITY'S ATTORNEY DID NOT ASK FOR AN ORAL HEARING HIS STATEMENT. Attorney John F. Robbins, who represented the city in the case of Mrs. Emma Lincoln against the municipality, which case was recently passed un oa by the Supreme court, the judgment for $5,000 damages as awarded by the lower court being sustained, said yesterday the Supreme Court had promised to hear oral argument on the points at issue, but lor some cause had not notified 1i,v Vik 4ViA OA ro c r Via nnn. - J: " sidered.

The lighting of the streets, it is contended, is a governmental duty the same as the patroling of the city by police. The Supreme Court, however, failed to take this view of the case, but should a petition for a rehearing be filed and receive favorable action, the city's main point of contention will be along this line. City Attorney Study occupies a rather peculiar relation to this action. Previous to the time that he was made city attorney and before he had any idea hat political conditions locally would soon pilot him into the position he now holds, he was the attorney for Mrs. Lincoln and won the suit. His first duty being to his earlier client, he coul not therefore, as city attorney, look after the interests of his later client in this case. City Attorney Study as "Mrs. Lincoln's , attorney does na Relieve that the city was entitled to present oral argument in the case. Attorney Thos. J. Study said to the Palladium last n.ght: "As attorney for Mrs. Lincoln in this suit, if the city filed a petition for an oral hearing I know nothing of it. Suffice to say, the city never filed such a petition and had no right to do so. It is strange that Judge Monk should promise a party something which they had no right to and for which they had not even asked. "As Mrs. Lincoln's attorney, I asked for an oral hearing, but did not get it. That I did not get it Is no for the citv to claim a rehear. ing.

JOVEIIILES ARE UNDER ARREST

Hayes' Theater Robbery is Solved and Others Will Be Shortly. INFORMATION IS GAINED HOWARD RUSSELL AND IRVIN HART ARE ALLEGED TO HAVE CONFESSED TAKING PART IN ONE CASE MORE ARRESTS. Yesterday afternoon Prosecutor Jessup filed information in the Wayne Circuit court against Howard Russell, aged fourteen and Irvin Hart aged fourteen charging them with having entered the Hayes Bros.' Col onial theatre on South 7th street and stealing $5 in money and a gold watch. The affadlvits filed with County Clerk Haas were signed by Supt. Bailey of the police departmenL The police say that Russell and Hart admitted that they had taken part in the looting of the box office of the theatre,. They vigorously denied tiowever that they knew anything of num erous other robbery cases that have developed recently. The cases of both will be referred to the juvenile court for disposition. Having cleared up one of the rob beries and having evidence in their possession which doubtless will clear up all or most of the others, the police department feels that it has been vindicated In 13 original claim that the looting of Main street stores as being, done by juveniles. Other arrests will follow and before many days elapse the o1ice say, the boys who are alle" " ne robbed tho safe of the Mrris book store will be i; s. Supt Bailey says he has ab-u. ,te information as to how this "job" was done and also as to who took part in it.

HALE OPPOSES MEASURE SENATOR FROM MAINE CHARGED THAT VALUABLE GUNS WERE GREASED AND PUT AWAY THERE BEING NO NEED FOR THEM. I Publishers' Press. J Washington, D. C, Dec. 18. Tho committee on military affairs of the Senate made It perfectly plain in a debate In the Senate this afternoon that it would oppose any further appropriations for coast . defense until legislation was " passed providing enough men to man the guns already mounted. The discussion came up over tho consideration of a bill . providing for an increase in the artillery corps and its deep "significance ' lay in the fact that the opposition to the measure came from Mr. Halo, the chairman of the committee on naval affairs. The Senator from Maine declared that there was always a strong pressure for increases in money and men for the army. In replying to tho uec- ; iaration of Mr. Warren that there were now three times as many guns as there were men to handle them said that a lack of puns and of men j Mr, warren interjected the remark r tw wr no enemies it was i -"" " " - - a wonder the government expended ! oxk tisnnnonn nnmiallv for fortifi- . oKftnt tis.ooo.000 annually for fortifi cations. He charged that valuable guns could be found in coast fortifications greased and covered with canvass and said that in case of war this great defense system would be rendered useless because there would be no one to man the guns. He said he expected to call his measure up later and press it before the fortifications bill was acted upon so that lt could be determined whether congress inJ tended to fool away any more money.

MESSAGE Of! THE

FRISCO

SITUATION

Metcalf's Report Goes to Congress with a Special Message by President, TREATY TO BE ENFORCED PRESIDENT MEANS TO USE EVERY EFFORT IN HIS POWER TO KEEP PEACE BETWEEN THE TWO GREAT NATIONS. Publishers' rress.1 Washington. Dec. i8. Transmitting to congress a report made to him by Victor H. Metcalf, secretary of commerce and labor, concerning alleged discrimination against Japanese at San ' Francisco. President Roosevelt sent a short special message to congress, in which he says: The report deals with three matters of controversy first, the exclusion of the Japanese children from the San Francisco schools; second, the boycotting of Japanese restaurants, aad third, acts of violence committed against the Japanese. As to the nrst matter, I call your especial attention to the very small number of Japanese children who attend school, to the testimony as to the brightness, cleanliness and good behavior of theea Japanese children in the schools, and to the fact that, owing to their being scattered throughout the city, the requirement for them all to so to one special school Is impossible of fulfillmen and means that they can not have school facilities. Let me potnt out further that there would be no objection whatever to excluding from the schools any Japanese on account of age. It is obviously not desirable that young men Bhould go to school with children. The only point I the exclusion, of the children thems ves. The number of Japanese children attending the public schools in San Francisco is very small. Tha governmen has already directed that suit bo brought to test the' constitutionality of the act in' question; but my very earnest hope is that such suit will not be necessary and that as a matter of comity the citizens of San Franc sco will refuse to deprive these youn; Japanese children of education an 1 will permit them to go to tho echo -Is. The question as to the violence agaiast the Japanese is most admirably put; by Secretary Metcalf and I have nothing to add to his statement. I am entirely, confident that as Srcrtary Metcalf says, the overwhelming sentiment of the state of California-is for law and order and for the prot ction of the Japanece in their pers-ins and property. Both the chief of pol'co and the acting mayor of San Francisco assured Secretary Metcalf ttat everything possible would be done to protect the Japanese in the city. I authorized ' and directed Secretary Metcalf to state that If th are "was failure to protect persons and property, then the entire power of the federal government within the limits of the constitution would .be used promptly and vigorously to enforce the observance of our treaty, the supreme law of the land, which treaty guaranteed to Japanese residents everywhere In. the Union full and perfect protect'on for their, persons and property; and to this end everything in my , power would be done, and all the forces of the United States, both civil and military, which I could lawf ullyemploy, would be employed." Metcalfe Repert.' Dealing with the school question. Secretary Metcalf attributes the exclusion resolutions . adopted by the San Francisco school board May , 6, 1905, and Oct. 11, 1906, In which provision Is made for a separate school for orientals, to the influence of the Exclusion League, which claims to have over 78,000 members In California, three-fourths of them In San. Francisco. The day the resolutions went Into effect there were 93 Japanese pupils In 23 schools, ranging in age from 7 to 20 years. 25 of them born In the United States. The report says: "The oriental school, set apart for Chinese, Japanese and Korean children. Is In the burned section. There is only one Japanese student attending this scbool at the present time, and there are n) Japanese children attending any of the othr publio schools. I visited the oriental school In company with the Jaranese consul and found it to compare favorably with with many of the new temporary structures erected la the city. The course of ln?tructi,a Is exactly tie same as at the other r.bllc schools, asd competent teachers are assigned for duty In this school. Nearly all the pupils, attend'n-s this school have to be taught the English la-sjuags." The report says s-ntiuent in the state is very strong aa'cst iapaase yous men attend'n? r'rr.ry schools, that the same objrccn vruld be ma3 against American young rrn, and that the ob'ectfon 5s reasoneble. The press in San Francisco rpholds the schoolboard. All politfcil parties had platform planks in favor of Japanese and Korean exclusion, and the legs!ature March 7, 1905. adopted a resolution urging the restriction of Japanese immigration. Other evidences of antiJapanese feeling are cited. Mr. Metcalf eays In the report: "I talked with a number of prominent labor men and they all said that they had no objection to Japant-sc children attending
