Mayor Bchmlts and hla assoc isles conferred wlih the president today, snd assured Mr. Rooaevelt that, the MU amendment to the Immigration was entirely eatiafactory to them. Secretary Root participated in the conference and made a report on bia negotiations with the republican leaders in congress and the Japanese embassador. While the Cglifornlana are still hopeful that Viscount Aokt, the Japanese ambassador, will agrea to separate schools In California, they stand will ing to rescind the order establishing the oriental schools and again admit Japanese children to the white schools. Mayor Schmiti today pointed out to President Roosevelt and Secretary Root the i advantages that will he gained by the Japanese children if the oriental schools are maintained and expressed a willingness to give the Japanese equal educe, tlnusl facilities to those given the while children of San Francisco. If the Japanese government will agree to this proposition the school board will establish a sufficient number of oriental achool housea to accommodate the Japanese and will give the children Instruction. Mayor Schmits rays the Japanese make faster prog- j greaa In the oriental school than they j do in the white achool and that In the mixed school the Japanese only retard the white progress. Another conference will he held ntt the white house Friday and in the I meantime Pie id dent Rooaevelt hopes to be able lu assure Mhyor Schmits and hla asacolates that the Immigration bill. Including tha exclusion amendment, will he passed at this session of congress. Mayor Schmits' Proposition. Secretary Root will 'ascertain Japan's attitude on Mayor Schmits' proposition fur separate schools and. the mayor's assurance that the Japanese are' not to be discriminated against, but are to have equal educational advantages with the white children. If the proposition does sot meet frith Ambassador Aokla views, the school board will abolish the oriental schools. Ad that may prevent an amicable net-- i lenient on the whole question Fridgjr will be the unwillingness of congress . to pass the immigration MIL dlftusalng the question today Mayor Sehmits said: "The popoaed amendment to the immigration Mil meets with onr approval so far aa the question of excluding coolie labor is concerned. It la a alep in the right direction. But y the school question has not been settled, and I do not want it understood that we have accepted the Immigration clause aa a price 'ta recode in the srhool controveray. While, as I have aald all along, wo are willing to make any concessions that we believe for the good of the country, we want to reach an agreement, if possible, for the maintenance of the separate schools with aa understanding that the Japaneae are to have the same faculties as the while children. We stand willing to build additional school housea in sections of tha city where they will be convenient to tbe Japanese children. We hope to reach an agreement at Friday's conference 'hat will provide for separate schools. One thing is certain; we will never agree to admit adult Japanese to the white schools.
