The ad- ditional cost will approximate $46,000, but the money is available, as the steel work of the struct did not cost as much as the origi imates allowed. Instead of conv the money back into the treasury department has decided to finish the erior of the building in a highly ornamental and durable fashion. — e-— Lundstrom’s $2 50 and $3 50 Hats Are dependable and best value.

Limited Number of Farm Laborers Wanted by Growers. “Resolved, That it is the sentiment of fruit growers of California that the Chi- nese exclusion act should be so amended as to admit a restricted number of farm laborers.” x The foregoing resolution, introduced by C. H. Rodgers of Watsonville, was adopt- ed yesterday forenoon by the California State Fruit Growers' Convention. The convention also adopted the follow< ing resolution, presented by A. R. Sprague: Resolved, That this State Convention of Fruit Growers heartily approves of the organi- zation of local associations to be centralized for the management of a growers' sales egency in the city of San Francisco, and to this end it orders the appointment of a com- mittee of seven to promote it, and invites volunteer aids for such organization work, and urges that every one willing to assist In this work in his own locality should corre- spond with the chairman of the committee to arrange for h organization work in his sec- tion. In accordance with the foregoing reso- Iution President Cooper announced the appointment of this committee as fol- lows: A. R. Sprague, Sacramento; A. T. J. Reynolds, Sacramento Valley; A. N. Judd, Pajaro Valley; John Swett, Mar- tinez; Willlam Berry, Alameda; A. N. Nourse, Stockton, and J. W. Reams, Sui- sun. GREETING IS EXTENDED. This message from St. Louis was read to the convghtion: B. N. Rowley, California Fruit Growers' Convention, San’ Francisco: The St. Louis Universal Exposition extends cordial greeting and assurance that the best facilities in many ways ever offered horticulturists will be pro- vided them. I hope and expect that Californla will be well represented. F. U. TAYLOR, Acting Chief Department of Horticulture. The committee on legislation, to which was referred the resolution in reference to the state draining districts, reported approval of the same and the resolution ‘was adopted. Professor E. W. Hilgard read an enter- taining and instructive essay on “Cultural Treatment of Arid dnd Alkali Soils.” Percy T. Morgan_ president of the Cali- fornia Wine Association, contributed an excellent paper on -the topic, *Grape Growing and Wine Industry in Caiifor- nia.” In closing Mr. Morgan offered these suggestions: OUR WINES IN DANGER. Our Senators and Congressmen, _and Senators 2nd Congressmen of other States who are friendly to us and to.the wine industry of the United States, must be instructed, written to, conjured and beseeched to be on their guard against the eo-called reclprocity treatles. 1f you will notice, in almost every one of them the wine industry is made the victim; it it is Portugal, or France, or Ger- or Italy, or any other country to be the a the’ first victim for the sacrifice that comes to the mind of the admipis.....ion appears to be the wine industry. Only the other day. the newspapers recorded the fact that into our new possession, Porto Rico, the wines of Portugal were to have reciprocal advantages. This is & direct blow to California, for after peying the heavy expense for cooperage and the freight on wines to Porto Rico, California is Iittle better off with the reduced tariff, in competition with the cheap surplus from Europe, than if no tariff existed. We have been looking to the new territories acquired by the United States and to ! the Cuban d_for a market in which our influs- try could find expansion. But unfortunately we are regarded in Washington as a distant and politically unimportant corner of this great country; able men who could politically benefit us by reason of thelr experience and acquaintance with the intricacles of legisia- tion are seldom allowed by the people of Call- fornia to retain thelr seats in Congress for more than one or two terms. “ISMS” ARE FAVORED. New “4sms” of all kinds are apparently more favored by the people of California than are he interests of their great State; they appear o think that they can continually change their Representatives in Congress and then expect obtaln any recognition from ‘‘the powers that be,” when experience has demonstrated that until & man has been in Congress for several sessions he is as valueless in gulding legislation as a ship without a rudder. (Ap- plause.) The people and the growers of California are more {0 blame for the scant regard which is given to California interests in Washington than is the administration. The magnificent and uypright man who now graces the Presiden- | | timl ‘chair cannot be expected to absorb ® by intuition conditions Wwhich -affect every corner of this vast country, and unless these conditions are brought to-his attention, and to the at- tention of Congress through the proper Con- sressional channels by men whose -long ac- quaintance with their colleagues ¢ favorable aitention, the President cannor be expected to know that here on the Pacific Coast we_have a tariff in the shape of rallroad freights on cooperage stock westbound, and on_wine eastbound, which goes a long way toward neutralizing the customs tariff on wines landed on Our Eastern seaboard from abroad &t prices Initially so low that an attempt to compete woul starve and destroy the Califor- nia wine industry. . At noon the convention took a recess until 8 p. m. In the interim the delegates paid a visit to the State University. EVENING SESSION. The convention reassembled at 8. p, m., President Ellwood Cooper presiding. Professor E. H. Twight gave an inter- esting essay on ‘‘Adaptation of Various Resistent Stocks to California Lands.” One of the most acceptable papers of the convention was contributed by George C. Roeding of Fresno. It was entitled, “Haryesting, Packing and Marketing the Calimyrna Fig.” In the absence of the author of the paper it was read by Mr. Isaacs. The convention adopted a resolution ad- vising the prune growers to follow .the example of the orange and raisin men and organize on the co-operative basis. On motion of Colonel H. G. Shaw, the convention extended a vote of thanks to the State Horticultural Society and the several contributors for the success of the meeting. The San Francisco news- papers were also thanked for the reports of the convention. After some discussion concerning the next meeting place, in which a sentiment favoring Fresno was expressed, the con- vention at 10 p. m. adjourned sine die. A CAMPAIGN OF SHOE EDUCA- TION. With Buzz-Saw and “Window of the Sole” the Regal Proves Its Merit. A “‘campalgn of education” is in progress in all the Regal Shoe stores at San Franclsco, the principal instructor being a savage looking 20-inch buzz-saw, which cuts up shoes in the Regal show windows. The Regal people use genuine, old-fashioned oak bark tanned leather in the soles of their shoes. Although oak sole leather has advanced in price in recent years, the Regal Shoe Com- pany has stuck to it, believing that the stand- ard of the Regal should be maintained In spite of expense. All shoe soles are painted black, and as a leather man himself cannot choose oak tanned from the cheaper grades through the black coating the Regal people have devised two methods of ‘‘education.”” The first is the buzz- saw, which rips apart all kinds of shoes and lays bare their material and construction. The second is the ““Window of the Sole,” wich is a seal pasted on the Regal sole before the black paint is applied. The edge of the seal can be lifted up, and the buyer can see for himself that the sole is genuine oak bark tanned. —_——— Ask Damages for Personal Injuries. Margaret Sheehan, whose son, Daniel, was severely injured by the breaking of a wheel in the metal polishing shop of Manton Hammond last August, flled a suit for $25,000 damages against Hammond yesterday. She charges that Hammond was negligent in failing ta inform her son of the condition of the wheel. A suit for $10,000 damages was filed by Edward J. Albrecht against T. H. B. Varney. Varney, it is alleged by Albrecht, owns an automobile, which ran over and se- RACE QUESTION IN THE 3CHO0LS Judge De Haven Rules Against a Chinese Pupil. Law Discriminating Against Mongolians Is Declared i Constitutional. Ll By the terms of an opinion handed down yesterday, United States District Judge De Haven decided that the State of California has a right to discriminats against persons born within its bound- arles on the ground of race. The opinioa was rended in the matter of the bill filed by Henry Wong Him, a native of Cali- fornia, against Mary E. Callahan "and the Board of Education to test the boy’s right to attend the public schools in the same manner as the boys of other races. In rendering his decision Judge De Haven said: The complainant is an infant and native born citlzen of the United States, of Chinese parentage, and seeks in this action, brought by his father, for a decree against the princi- pal of the Clement Grammar School in the city and county of San Francisco and the members of the Board of Education of . that city and county which shall restrain them from preventing the admission of the compiainant into the Clement Grammagr School of San Fran- cisco as a pupll. The bill alleges that all chil- dren, irrespective of age and nationality, ‘are permitted to attend said grammar school, with the exception of children of Chinese descent, and that the defendants exclude the complain- ant from the right to attend this school upon the sole ground that he is of Chinese descent, and claim the right to do so under the pro- visions of section 1662 of the Political Code ot the State of California, which gives to the trustees of school districts the power to es- tablish separate schocls for children of Mon- golian or Chinese descent, and further provides that: “‘When such separate schools are estab- lished Chinese or Mongolian children must not be_admitted into any cther schools.”” It is further alleged that this statute is in conflict with, the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States in that it deprives the complainant of the equal protec- tion of the laws of California relative to his right to admission as a pupil into the public schools of the State. * * % The sole ground of complaint is that the maintenance of sepa- rate schools for children of Chinese descent is a discrimination against such children, and it is alleged that such discriminatfon is arbitrary and the result of hatred for the Chinese race. The validity of the statute referred to does not depend upon the motive which may in fact have actuated the members of the Legislature in voting for its enactment. Upon such an in- quiry the courts have no right to ent®r, if the law ‘does not conflict with some constifutional limitation of the powers of the State Legisla- ture. * * o Tt {s well settled that the State has the/right to provide separate schools for the children of different races, and such action 18 not forbidden by the Fourteenth Amendment. to the Constitution, provided the schools so es- tablished make no discrimination in the educa- tional faciliti November’s Immigrants. , Richard Eccleston, statistician for the United States Immigrant Commissioner, makes the following report of the arrival of alien immigrants at this port during November.

Oscar Holliday Banghart, the famous young {lustrator, is an enthusiastic prophet of the coming supremacy of American artists. Mr. Banghart knows whereof he speaks, as he studied under the most famous masters in Paris, Mu- nich and Dusseldorf, where he met the best known artists in Europe. He be- lieves that the day is not far distant when Parisians will attend art classes in New York, instead of as at present our Ameri- can art neophytes flocking Parisward. Of late years our American illustrated weeklies have shown great improvement. Life, Colliers’ Weekly, Frank Leslie’s, etc., are now no whit inferfor to the great London weeklies so far as their .art con- tents are concerned. Charles Dana Gib- son, A. B. Wenzell and Oscar Holliday Banghart are the three illustrators best known to the magazine reading public. All three have made a specialty of what for want of a better term may be called “society subjects.” Gibson and Wenzell excel in_depicting men, while Banghart is second to none as a delineator of the American girl. He has an extraordinar- ily dainty touch, and probably no other American artist has so wide and enthusi- astic a clientele of feminine admirers. The originals of Banghart's {llustrations for various magazines have always com- manded very high prices. No contempor- ary American illustrator seems so sure of a brilliant future. And the best of it all is that Oscar Holliday Banghart Is absolutely unspoiled by the extraordinary success he has made. He is to-day, with the plaudits of New York’s leading art- ists ringing in his ears, the same simple, kindly, democratic gentleman that he was when he sat upon a high stool managing an immense business enterprise. An exhibition of the originals” of Oscar Holllday Banghart's twelve famous pas- tels, . entitled “When Cupid Holds the Reins,” “‘Morning Glories,” ‘‘Vanity,” “Between the Acts,’ “A Fairy Masquer- ader,” “Only a Rose,” “The Coquette,” “Dorothy,” ‘‘Beauty at the Links,” “The Summer = Girl,” ‘“When Hearts Are Trumps,” ‘‘Cupid Balts the Hook,” was recently held in Chicago. - Not since the exhibiXon of “Drawings by Phil May” has there been in Chicage 80. successful an exhibition of original drawings by a living artist. Some of the ictures fetched very considerable prices. he sum total of the sales is ‘marvelous, in view of the fact that it is but five or six years since Mr. Banghart returned from Paris. He is a Jmme ‘worker and commands his own prices. Society wom- en in New York almost beg to be allowed the privilege of sitting for him, so great is his vogue as a painter of the 400, — e RABBI VOORSANGER PRAISES EMIL ZOLA Declares That He Loved Justice and That His Name Will Live in History. / Rev. Jacob Voorsanger delivered an in- teresting sermon last night in Temple Emanu-E1 on Emil Zola and his famous defense of Dreyfus. He declared that the French author was imbued with the de- sire to do justice and that he uncovered the corruption of the military for the benefit of his country. He sald that at the time Dreyfus was on trial France was intoxicated with her own injustice. He praised Zola for his defense of the perse- cuted Dreyfus and declared that his name should be linked with the names of the great men of Israel, and that it will be |’ written in history. He said Zola, as an author, belonged to the realistic school. Rabbi Jacob' Nieto preached on “God and Man.". He sald that when we pray we pray to satisfy our own consclence. He declared that God does not need our prayers or our supplications. He asserted that the perpetuity of a nation depends on the nation’s idea of God, and that the idea of God a people is to have when they are at the helght of their power is foresha- dowed In their early history.
