' UNIONS ARE NOT SATISFIED Their Organ at San Francisco Ac cuses Schmltz of Surrender on School Question Agreement Is Not Liked In Japan. STEW LAW PUT INTO EFFECT. HONOLn.f, Feb. 19. Governor Carter has received a request from Secretary of State Root to notify ajrenta of steamship companies that the laborers In Hawaii with pass ports will not be admitted to the mainland. The steamship Mongolia, which I sailed for San Francisco today, car- I ried over 300 Japanese from here. I SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 19. Under the caption "The Weak Spot in the Settlement of the School Question." the Japanese World editorially says today: According to the school matter agree ment between th President and the Pan Francisco committee, "all children of alien races under 1 years of age who speak tiie Knsrllsh language may he admitted to the white schools. Special schools are to be es tablished for children of alien birth who are deficient, in- the elements of the lanfruane." We have heard that the School Board will make detailed rules to determine the standard of admittance and the Board of Education will probably make a strict rule for English-speaking children. The majority of the Japanese children cannot read or speak Kngltsh fluently. According to the agreement, the Japanese children who can not speak English fluently cannot attend the. public schools. Therefore, If the Board of Education shall maliciously make strict rules for the ex amination of Japanese children, then the agreement is weak from the Japanese side. Thus, according to our opinion, the school question should not he settled In that way, and we are not satisfied with our side of the agreement. Hence we wish the Board of En ucatlon would give admission to all chil dren without restriction, as before the Are. JAPANESE PL,EASEI, L-ABOIl NOT I'nlon Organ -Calls Agreement Sur render on School Question. SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 19. The terms of the agreement between the Federal authorities and the Schmttz party at Washington are very agreeable to the Japanese of thla city, according; to a statement Issued today by u. O. Oyama. secretary of the Japanese Consulate, as follows: We have received no official information regarding the settlement, but, If the. news paper reports are correct, I am sure that the Japanee people as a whole will be pleased with the terms. We have every confidence in President Roosevelt In thfs matter. We have Insisted that the Japan- ese as a people shall not be discriminated against and I believe that this is secured by the agreement reached In Washington. Walter Mar-Arthur, a prominent labor leader and editor of the Coast Seamen's Journal, said: The result of the negotlotions In Wash ington Is a surrender on the school ques tion, in return for whrch we receive from the President a promise that he will do what he thinks Is right and good for us In the matter of Japanese exclusion. The fact that the enforcement of the proposed restrictions on Japanese immigration will he left tit the hands of the Secretary of Commerce and lAbor Is not calculated to reassure the people of the West, that offi cial having recently made a ruling which practically nullities the alien contract labor law. These entire proceedings have served one purpose, at least, namely, to demon strate the hopelessness of securing protec tion against Asiatic. Immigration by any meane short of a constitutional amend ment. WOULD OPEX WAV TO JAPANESE Halsey Contrasts Schmltz With Chi nese Christian Workers. OMAHA, Neb.. Feb. 19. The Inter synodical convention to consider the responsibility of the men of the Pres byterian Church toward foreign mis sions, met tonight at the auditorium with the greater portion of the 1603 accredited delegates in attendance. The principal address was made by Dr. A. W. Halsey, home department secretary of the Board of Home Missions, on "Foreign Missions A Great World Force." Ir. Halsey expressed his opinion on the Japanese Immigration question. He quoted a statement to the efTect that tne Hearst papers are advocating the equality of all men. This, he declared, was untrue. He denounced the work of those papers and of the Mayor of San Francisco, in striving to shut out the immigration of the Japanese, declaring that "discrimination against men be cause of their color Is discrimination against the very Constitution of the I'nited Stater." Afterwards, referring to the Chris tianizing of China, he spoke of a cer tain native and his work, and added: "Think of excluding such men from America and allowing the Mayor of San Francisco to remain" Ills remarks were greeted with ap plause. a Resolutions requesting the Senate to exclude Senator Smoot were adopted. Dr. Comer stated that the resolution would be read In, the Senate before the vote was taken on the Smoot case. BITTEK PILL FOIl JAPANESE Don't Like Immigration Law, but Will Swallow It. TOKIO. Feb. 19. The official text or President Roosevelt's amendment of the exclusion bill has been published. As ex pected, it has created the strongest dissat isfaction among the Interested parties, al though their movements or procedure have not yet assumed a definite shape. The Japanese residents of the Hawaiian Islands have telegraphed President Roose velt and the Hawaiian representatives In the House, Indicating the seriousness of the Injury which will be caused to their rights and interests by this legislation. The leaders of opinion here are aware, however, that, under the circumstances, the only alternative is to calmly resign themselves to the situation, hoping the government can arrange with the Amer ican authorities to reduce the sacrifice in the Interest of the Japanese Immigrants to a minimum. They regret the new law lest the San Francisco people, glorying in their suc cess should assume an over-bearing: atti tude. News of this kind would only tend to Injure Japanese suceptlbllltles, which President Roosevelt has been especially careful to avoid. HAD TO MAKE SOME SACRIFICE Japan Comments In Pacific Tone on Final Agreement. TOKIO. Feb. 20. The tone of the lead ing newspapers this morning in comment ing on the settlement of the San Fran cisco school question is eminently pacific. They appear to be reconciled to the situa tion In view of the last clause in article 2 of the existing treaty with the United States. The Nichi Nichi says that It will with hold judgment concerning the success or otherwise of Japan's diplomacy until the naturalization of Japanese by America Is finally settled. Foreign Minister Hayashi. in an explan atory interview, calls attention to the fact that, when the present treaty was concluded. Japan had a great object to attain, the removal of consular jurisdic tion. Before this great achievement could be realized some sacrifice was necessary. "I remember." said he. "that the clause was Inserted at the express wish of the American Government for the reason that the passage of the new treaty could not be secured in the United States Senate without Its insertion." Hawaiian Japanese Protest. HONOLULU, Feb. 19. At a mass meet ing of Japanese held last night, the fol lowing cablegram was ordered sent to President Roosevelt: "The Hawaiian Japanese respectfully protest In the name of humanity and civ ilization, and also In the name of liberty, against the prohibition of their emigration to the United States. It enslaves us per manently to Hawaiian capitalists." The meeting also cabled to the Japanese Foreign Office as follows: "The Hawaiian Japanese are unanimous in firm opposition to the action of the American Congress in prohibiting them from emigration to America which Is in compatible with the Empire's dignity and ruinous to Japanese Interests In Hawaii. Energetic diplomatic opposition is re quested." Schmltz Starts for San Francisco. WASHINGTON', Feb. lit. Mayor Schmltz. of San Francisco, left here to night for that city. Most of the mem bers of the school board departed earlier in the day. WAR ON DEADLY DISEASE (Continued From First Page.) upholstered furniture or useless i floor coverings. Whitewashed or painted walls are better than those covered with wall paper. Consumptives need not be afraid of cold weather, so long as the body Is protected and the feet kept dry. They need to be temperate in all things, and should scrupulously avoid dust, disor der, dampness and bad air. Instead of medicine, they need large quantities of nourishing food. At the sanitariums the inmates are often forced to eat more than they are inclined to take, in order to overcome the wasting effects of the tissue-destroying disease. It is accepted that the surest cure lies In the old cry, "back to nature," and In a hundred mountain regions in the United States one may see rough log cabins or canvas tents, with one side open to the weather, where live all the year round men or women who are be ing cured of what was considered a few years ago an incurable and hopeless malady. And this is how they are doing it. They have clothed themselves warm ly and comfortably; they have left care and worry behind; they are eating four and five meals a day of fruit, vegetables, milk, eggs and beef; they are spending from 12 to 22 hours outdoors each day, lying In big chairs In the sun, or per haps taking short 'walks and a little exercise: they are making- a. point of be ing cheerful and hopeful, and as a re sult of such determination the majority of them will return to their homes re stored to the health which they lost through carelessness or ignorance A young lady who recently spent a year In a western resort for tuberculosis patients said to 'me not long ago with tears in her eyes: "Oh. I wish I were rich. I never wished It before, but now I would know what to do with money if I had it. I would not build art galleries, nor found libraries, nor endow schools. I would just buy yards of beefsteak and tanks of good, rich milk and cream, and car loads of eggs and bread, and I would take them out west to these people the poor ones who are making a fight for life. Oh, what a brave fight they are making, and many of them can't win out, just because they haven't enough to eat. The fresh air can't do it all. I have seen them. I have lived among them, and I know how much many of them need." Bad Investment, Says Rich Man. It is said that the people of the arid regions of the West petitioned one of our multi-millionaires, who gives many millions to charity, to use some of his money for work among the sufferers from tuberculosis. They wanted him to supply the funds to build camps and buy plain, health-giving food for those who would live In them. His reply was to the effect that It would hardly be an Investment worth while, because per sons who might be restored to health from this disease could hardly be ex pected to make energetic citizens who would be factors in the upbuilding . of the Nation. In this the great man was altogether wrong, for there have already come from the camps, the state and private sanitariums, and from homti built In the open, hundreds and hur dreds of men and women who have been restored to health and happiness, and returned to their homes well and strong and capable. A few millions given to this cause would save more lives and do more good than any endowment that has yet been made in this country, where endow ments are so frequent and so munificent. Many of our cities are going in for the work on their own account. In Phila delphia Mr. Henry Phlpps has given Jl. 000,000 for fighting the disease, Denver has two institutions, the National Jewish Hospital for consumptives, to which Gug genheim & Sons gave $30,000. and the Agnes Memorial Sanitarium for people of small means, which is under the control of the Episcopal Diocese of Colorado. In Tennessee the King's Daughters are rsWs ing money for a home for Incurables and have planned to have a tuberculosis branch located In the mountains. Pitts burg has Just opened a sanitarium for the treatment of tuberculosis patients. The National Government is looking after the men In the Army, Navy and marine service. Its general tuberculosis hospital for men of the Army and Navy Is at Fort Bayard, New Mexico. Seamen of the Merchant Marine service, keepers of light-houses, officers and men of the revenue cutter service, of the Coast and Geodetic Survey., etc.. are sent to Fort Stanton. New Mexico. This site was chosen because the sun shines there 340 days in the year. The Navy also has a camp at Pensacola, Florida, accom modating 50 patients. The President is sued an order recently providing for the inspection of all Government officers and an' offer of free medical examination to all persons in the Government employ who are believed to be suffering from tuberculosis. The order also authorized an Investigation of health ' among the Indians and prohibited Immigrants af flicted with consumption from landing. Tomorrow "Growth of the Pottery In dustry In America." REPLY TO ACCUSERS Smoot Resents Charge of Ap proving Polygamy. PROSECUTE ALL NEW CASES Has Only One Wife and Would Allow Xo More Plural Marriages En dowment House Does Not Affect Civic Duty. WASHINGTON, Feb. 19. Speakinar In his own defense. Senator Reed Smoot addressed the Senate today on the general subject of Mormonism. He condemned polygamy in the strongest terms, and declared emphatically that he had taken no oath inconsistent with that he has taken as Senator. After referring the Senate to his testimony, he said it was entitled to a frank statement as to his personal attitude on the subject of polygamy and loyalty to the Government. Ho then said: "First I desire to state as I have heretofore stated to the Senate and to the country, that I am not and never have been a polygamist. I have never had but one wife, and she Is my pres ent wife." Attitude Toward Polygamy. He went on to explain the position of the Mormon Church on the subject of polygamy. He said polygamy had been revealed as permissible, not as obligatory, as generally supposed. Only a small percentage of Mormons had been polygamlsts. The vast majority of adult members from the foundation of the church had Tjeen monogamists. This doctrine was regarded as a part of the religious faith and the law against It had been resisted as an in terference with religious liberty until the highest court upheld it. Then the church issued a manifesto against It and the practice for the future was abandoned. Let Old Polygamlsts Die Out. As to those who' had already entered Into polygamous relations, the general sentiment among the non-Mormon peo ple that the best and quickest way to get rid of the whole question was to let the old-time relations end In death. There was a general acquiescence by the people In this solution, and It is working out a complete and final so lution. At the time the manifesto was adopt ed there were 2451 polygamous house holds In the church. Their number had decreased until It did not exceed 500 when the testimony was taken. As to the alleged polygamous mar riages since the manifesto, Mr. Smoot said any man who had married a poly gamous wife since the manifesto should be prosecuted and suffer the penalty of the law, no matter what position he might hold In the church. Such cases had been rare and had not the sanction of the church, In fact had its express condemnation. Oath Purely Religious. He declared the Endowment House ceremony to be of a purely religious, spiritual nature and denied that It con tained the remotest suggestion of hos tility to the. United States or to any other nation. He continued: And here In the Senate of their country men, upon the -Incontrovertible witness home hy the brave Burvivora and the heroic dead of the Utah light artillery, I hurl back the charge of the defamer that there ever was a word or breath of hostility or dis loyalty In the sacred religious ceremonies In which they or any other persons partici pated as members of the Mormon church. He proceeded to condemn those who declare that this or the other thing is menacing the life of the Republic and declared absurd the myth of Mormon hierarchical domination. He concluded: Pledges Loyally an Senator, And so far as I am concerned. I formally and solemnly aver In every vote and action as United states Senator I shall be gov erned in the future, as I have been In the past, only by my convictions of what Is best for the whole people of the United States, under my oath to support the Con stitution and laws of this Nation. In closing let me say, under my obliga tion as a. Senator, what I have said under oath before the committee, that I have not taken any oath or obligation, religious or otherwise, which conflicts in the slightest degree with my duty as a Senator or as a citizen. I owe no allegiance to any church tr ether organization which In any way Interferes with my supreme allegiance in civil affairs to my country an allegiance which I freely, fully and gladly give. KAISER OPENS REICHSTAG EXULTS IX TRIUMPH OVER SO CIALISTS IN ELECTION. Has Accepted Invitation to Hague Conference and Proposes Develop ment of African Colonies. BERLIN, Feb. 19. Emperor William opened the new Reichstag today amid a gorgeous stage setting in the great white hall of the palace. Identified for centuries with great events in the house of Hooenzollern. Members of the Reichstag, in uniform or evening dress, assembled on the floor of the hall, but there was not a Socialist among them, for, being anti-monarchists and republicans, they refused to countenance . the sovereign In any form. The Empress, attended by the Crown Princess Cecilia and numerous Princesses of the German ruling houses occupied a great box at one end of the hall, while from another box the diplomatic corps surveyed the scene. Among those in the latter box were Ambassador and Mrs. Tower and Professor and Mrs. Burgess. The members of the Reichstag cheered as the Emperor and Empress entered the hall. Following his majesty were the Crown Prlnee Frederick William, the other im perial princes and the princes of the sov ereign houses of Germany, forming a group upon the Emperor's right as he took up his position on the lowest step of the throne. The Imperial Chancellor then advanced, handed his majesty the speech from the throne, and he. holding It in his gauntleted hand, and with helmet on his head, read the speech in a clear, loud voice. Referring to the foreign relations of Germany and to International peace, he said: "The general political situation entitles us to the assurance that peace will con tinue to be preserved. My government maintains with our allies our old. heart felt relations, and with the other powers good and correct relations. "The treaty with Denmark, signed Jan uary - 3.- which was designed to remove disturbing differences by regulating the status of children In choosing their na tionality, will strengthen the friendly re lations with our northern neighbors.'" In regard 'to the approaching confer ence at The Hague, the Emperor said: "Following the suggestion of the United States and the proposals of Russia. I have accepted an invitation to the second peace conference at The Hague, which. In view of the first Hague conference, will be qualified to develop further the laws among nations for the good of humanity and of peace." Alluding to the result of the recent elec tions to the Reichstag, the Emperor said: "The German people were called upon to decide a difference of opinion between the federated governments and the for mer Reichstag, and demonstrated their resolve to safeguard the people and prop erty -of the nation by putting aside all narrow, party spirit. The strong national feeling that united our citizens will ef fectively protect the fatherland In the future. Just aa I am willing to observe conscientiously all my exceptional rights and privileges, so am I confident the new Reichstag, composed of intelligent men, ready to act. will acknowledge that it Is Its highest duty to preserve and strength en our position among civilized nations." Continuing, the speech announced the approaching of various government matters in Parliament, among them being the supplementary budget for the expenses in German Southwest Africa, upon which the Reichstag was dissolved, and measures providing for the construction of the projected rail road from Helmanskop to Kubub, the development of other lines of communi cation with the colonies, the establish ment of the Colonial Ministry and the indemlflcatlon of Germans in southwest Africa, who have sustained losses as a result of tho rebellion in that col ony. The Emperor said he hoped a con siderable reduction of the number of troops In German Southwest Africa would soon be possible, as there wera only a few rebels in the field. Referring again to the elections, his Majesty stated that the healthy spirit In town and country had asserted it self and had checked' the socialistic movement subversive of the state and society. It was the purpose of the cfed erated governments to continue the social work in the spirit that had ani mated his Majesty's illustrious grand father. "And now, gentlemen," said the Em peror, In conclusion, "may the national sentiment and readiness to act which created this Reichstag rule its labors to the welfare of Germany." As the Emperor ceased speaking and stepped down from the dais, the old est member of the Reichstag, follow ing the custom, proposed three cheers for his Majesty, which were still re sounding as the Emperor left the hall. HILL'S ROAD ACCUSED OF RE BATING ON SUGAR. I ederal Grand Jury Says Trust Got Rate Reduced From 52 to 33 Cents. NEW YORK, Feb. 19. The Federal grand jury today indicted the Great Northern Railroad Company on charges that in 1904 it paid $10,000 In rebates on sugar shipments to Lowell M. Palmer, traffic agent of the American Sugar Re fining. Company. A second count of the same indictment charges that $5M addi tional rebates were paid to Mr. Palmer by various railroads in conjunction with the Great Northern. The indictment charges that the Great Northern Company effected freight com binations with the Lehigh Valley, the New York Central and the New York. New Haven & Hartford railroads, the through route of the last named being in combination with the Erie Railroad, the Great Northern Steamship Company and the Great Northern Railroad Company, whereby sugar was transported from New York and Boston to Sioux City. Iowa, at less than the published tariff rates. The latter, the Indictment charges, was 52 cents per 100 pounds, but through an agreement alleged to have been made by Alonzo W. Lake and A. W. Steel as agents of the Great Northern Company, and Lowell M. Palmer, the agent of the American Sugar Refining Company, It is charged that the Sugar Refining Company was granted a through rate on sugar be tween the points named of 33 cents per 100 pounds. It is understood that the general coun sel of the Great Northern have been no tified of the Indictment and will within a few days present themselves for pleading. It is reported still more indictments will follow. Two-Cent Fare for Nebraska. LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. 19.
