II- - Japtnew Washington, children are to be admitted to the white echooli af Ben Francisco, rent rict ions; skilled and unbilled laborers coming from Japan, barred from the main lanJ of the VnlTsd Si area, and American laborer, ere, skilled and unskilled, are to be excluded from Japan. This Is the besie of the agreement between President Roosevelt Secretary Root, Mayor Schmits ana the Ssn'Francisoo scbiail board as an agiadjustment of the tation brought about by the segregatBan ion of Japanese children la Francisco schools. The agreement means tbat the schools of Ban Francisco trill be conducted In the sanre manner as they were before the board of education adopted the resolution last October providing for the segregation of the Japanese, except that adult Japanese who are In primary grades must continue to attend the Oriental schools and that Japansse children under sixteen will be admitted to classes with white children of ln vnde-rerta- anli-Japane- tbeir own ages. While the resolution of the school Children board, as amended, reads: of alien birth," It Is freely admitted by Mayor Schmlti and hla associates, that the requirement will apply only to the Japanese children, and that the change In the wording was to make it plain to the Toklo government tkai was intended no discrimination gainst Japaaeea children. Assistant City Attorney Williams of Ban Francisco, who has acted as legal advisor to Mayor Bchmlta and the board of education since negotiations have been pending, said tonight; To understand the exact meaning . . of the statement given out by Mayor Schmits today, it will be neceaiary to reed between the lines. The tmly cuaeeeskm we have made is to admit Japanese ehlldrea to the white school, while in return the administration has brought about the exclusion of Japanese laborers from this country Mayor Bchmlta said: "This la only temporary agreement. President Roosevelt hss given us direct sod positive assurance that he wlQ at once begin negotiations with Japan for the purpose of bringing about a new treety that will exclude Japanese laborers, sklllej and unskilled. from continental United Btatss." Mayor Schmltis statement of tbe agreement follows: We And that the administration and congress ire entirely alive to the situation In California and anxious i meet the wishes of the Californians. They are also desirous of keeping on the beet possible terms .with Japs) and of doing nothing which may breaa the friendship between that country and the United States. It has been explained to us that the form of action is ken by the school hoard of Baa Francis 00 In relation to the Japanese school question has been completely misunderstood snd an attack upon the Japanese and that this misunderstanding and mlaconstrnct !oi has been and I one of the chief obstacles in arhlerlng the purpose California rea-- !' has in view, this purpose being to situ re hy honorable and amicable sgreiment with Japan the mutual from the two Countries of the laborer, skilled and unskilled, of earii country. This earnest desire A the people of California and, we may dil. in our belief, of tha people of the entire Pacific coast, to check the come ing of Japanese laliorers and our willingness and desire that Japa ehoiil similarly put a stop to the going of American laborers, skilled and from no uimki'.lid, to Japan, spring motive other than to bring about corn-,rcial and Industrial conditions tj th- eatlsfsctory understanding of the friendly nations.

"The national government has no purpose whatever to attempt to Infringe upon the rights of California as a sovereign state, and the purpose at the administration of the national government was merely to fulfill n bounded duty to a friendly nation with which It bad a. treaty to aacer-tal- n aa a matter of international comity and courtesy whether or nut by the true construction of that treat' such right or rights had been accorded to the subjects of Japan. In view of our numerous Interviews with tha President and our understanding thereof, we feel that the question whether the right at lsue was 0.' was not given by treaty has been passed and has been absolutely eliminated frum this controversy snd the proposition Involved la one of comity and publje policy. Such being tha case, we are fully In accord with the view of the admin stration to the effect that the attainment of the exclusion of all Japanese laborer, skilled or unskilled, should not be complicated with or endangered by the exercise of the right of segregation by the school board, authorised by section No. IMS of the penal code of the state of California. As condition to the modification of the resolution, we respectfully Insist that the legal proceedings heretofore Instituted he dismissed forthwith and that It la expressly understood that we hive not conceded and do not concede and do not intend to concede that our action was la violation of any of tha stipulations of the treaty between the United States and Japan, but on the contrary, we do claim and assert tbat If any stipulation In said treaty contained Is inconsistent or conflicts with the power and authority given by section No. 1M2 of the penal code of the state of California then so far as old treaty tends to prevent ihe board of education from regulating Its own school affairs, as sn exercise of local police power, such provisions In said treaty are nugatory and void. It therefore Is proposed by the hoard of education of Bun Francisco to modify the order segregating the Japanese public school children of Ban Frlnclsco heretofore made by amending the resolution to read aa follows: Sestlon 7 Children of si alien races who speak the English language, la order to determine the proper grade which they may be entitled to be enrolled, must first be examined aa to theta educational qualifications by tbe principal of the school where the application for enrollment shall have been made.1 Section I That no child of alien birth over the ages of 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 or 16 years shall be enrolled In any of the first second, third, fourth, fifth, nJxth, seventh of eighth grades, respectively. Section. 3 If said alien children shall be found deficient In their ability to apeak or deficient in the elements of the English language, or unable to attend the gades mentioned In section 2, bv reason of tbe restriction mentioned therein, such children shall be enrolled In special schools or In special classes established exclusively for such children as and In the manner the board of education shall beem proper and most expedient " The state department, since the passage today of the Immigration MU, la prepared to take np again the negti-atlon- s that were already in progress with the Japanese government looking to the regulation of Japanese Immigration into tbe United States. It la expected the negotiation will result in an agreement between Japan and the United States for the withholding by the former of pass ports to Japanese of the laboring classes seeking to enter the United States. For several years past the Japanese government baa 'declined to Issue any passports, but tbe intention la to make this matter of formal agreement la possible. In the short time remaining of the present session of congress It Is not possible. It Is sid. to frame anything In the nature of a treaty, which would require the action of the enate. In fact. It la by no means certain that a formal convention is necessary to Insure the continuance of the present Japanese policy of refusing passports to the United States to coolies, so It may be decided to give this agreement another form than a treaty. The department of commerce and labor, being In charge cf immigration, will st once upon the signature of the immigration bill proceed to Instruct the collectors at the various ports of placed upon entry of the restrictions tbe admission of Immigrants hy the Is to be made new acts.

Once the testifying physician had declared that la their opinion Thaw was insane at the time he mail the statements. However, the rules uf evidence permitted the introduction uf the prisoner's word.
