COMPLAINT BY JAPANESE
Secretary Metcalf Sent to San
Francisco to Investigate.
INSIST UPON TREATY RIGHTS
Discrimination Against Merchants
and School Children on the Pacific
Coast is Alleged.
As a result of alleged discrimination
against Japanese children by the
school authorities of San Francisco,
which, it is charged, constitutes a
violation of our treaty obligations
with Japan, President Roosevelt has
directed Secretary Metcalf of the de-
partment of commerce and labor to
go to the Pacific coast city as the
special commissioner of the President
to inquire into the charges. The
secretary will confer with the gov-
ernor of the state, mayor of the city
and school officials in an endeavor
to learn the exact facts in the case,
and will bring back to the President
a complete report of the whole mat-
ter.
President Roosevelt is determined
to avoid any misunderstanding with
Japan, and hence the visit of Mr.
Metcalf to the coast. Until the
President hears from his commission-
er he will not attempt to take any ac
tion bearing upon the situation. Mr.
Metcalf, in view of his long residence
in California, is peculiarly fitted for
the mission, and he is expected to
get at the facts in the case without
delay after his arrival.
It is charged that Japanese chil-
dren in San Francisco are excluded
from the schools provided for white
children, and that it is the determina.
tion of the authorities to place them
in separate institutions.
{ The determination to send Secretary
| Metcalf to San Francisco was one sof
the resulfs of the requests made by
Viscount Acki, the Japanese ambassa-
dor, who, at a conference with Sec-
retary Root, asked in behalf of his
government that the Japanese in
California be accorded their full
rights under the treaty of 1894, includ-
ing that of the children to attend the
public sc¢hools of the city.

Unusual excitement in connection
with the reopening of the British

many of whom, despite the protests
of the police, managed to find their
way into the outer lobby of the House
of Commons with the intention of
buttonholing the members in support
of their movement.
A number of the suffragists mount-
ed vacant chairs in the lobby and
began to harangue the few members

The most militant of the women

them. Their hysterical shouting and
screaming brought crowds of mem-
bers from the House, and the un-

SEVEN KILLED IN EXPLOSION
Disaster Occurred in Mine Near
Johnstown, Pa.
FOUR WORKMEN HAD LEFT
Men in Adjoining Heading Knew
Nothing About the Accident Till
Quitting Time.
Seven men were killed and two in-
jured, one very seriously, by an ex-
plosion of gas in the Cambria Steel
Company’s coal at Johnstown,
Pa.
The first alarm of the disaster was
given by John Gilbert, a driver, who
was not in the chamber where the
explosion occurred, but who, as an
experienced miner, felt the earth
tremor which followed. The disturb-
ance was so purely local that men
working ‘in a heading adjoining the
scene of the explosion knew nothing
of the accident until quitting time.
The dead are Sampson Luther, aged
30, shot firer; Constant Fish, aged 45,
loader; Adam Pavlpvsky, aged 25, cut-
ter; Joseph Kamelsky, aged 34, load-
er; Frank Gaviek, aged 30; Mike
Sulada, aged 19, loader; Joseph Pat-
rick, aged 24, scraper.
The injured are Joseph Flack, lab-
orer, and Mike Borovochik, Slav.
Both were overcome by afterdamp.
The explosion occurred in heading
2, off what is known as the Mill
Creek dip, about one mile from the
Mill Creek shaft, and two or three
miles from the scene of the disaster
in the Klondike section of the mine
four years ago. The surface above
the explosion chamber is in Somerset
county.
Superintendent Robinson states that
13 men went into No. 29 in the morn-
ing, but four of them left toward
noon, having completed their prelimi-
nary work. The heading had been
examined for gas, as usual, and an
inspection of the dead bodies as they
lay on the mine floor proved that not
one of the men had taken a pipe,
smoking tobacco or cigaret paper to
work with him. Every one had a
safety lamp, each one of which was
found locked as per teqnitements.
