The opinion says: SEPARATE SCHOOLS. “Discrimination against children. of school age, however descended, is not possible under either constitution or statute, and children of Mongolian de- | scent cAnnot be lawfully excluded from | schools attended by white children un- | 1ess separate schools for their educa- | those schools attended exclusively by | children of white parentage. (Ward vs. | Flood, 48 Cal., 688.) | “It follows that the Board of Educa- { tion of this eity and county may estab- {lish separate schools for children of | Mongolian descent, and that when such ‘ schools are established, with education- al facilities equal to other schools in | the same district provided for children of white parentage, children of Mongo- | lan descent ‘must not be admitted to | any other school.’ | “From the records of the Board of EEducatlon { learn that there is now a ;zepnmte school, known as the Chinese | Primary School, to which Mongolian | children of either Chinese or Japanese | descent may be admitted. This is a | school of five grades and possesses fa- | cilities equal to those provided for | schools of similar grades attended by | white children, and so long as it exists’ |and s maintained: by the Board of | Education as a separate school for the | education of children of Mongolian de- | scent such children requiring Instruo- tion In such grades ‘must not be admit- ted to any other school.” ADMISSION OF CHILDREN. admission of such children City Attorney Long Holds|Mercury in the Government Schools Must Be Opened Any Discrimination Against | Forecaster Sets Forth How | dren or those of Chinese descent can-| Yesterday the temperature was down | lic schools.

But San Fran- cisco has its fog again, and the evi- dence of this may be secured readily from the people of the Sunset district and Carville. McAdie's records show ! that California has had plenty of hot Septembers during the last fifty-five years, and he is disinclined to prom- | ise comfortable conditions for the rest | of the month. He is still puszling over the question of how his, data told him to predict cool weather for last Wednesday, which was the hottest dag San Francisco ever saw. Speak- ing ef his notable error, he said: “It was simply because I did not know enough. Certain conditions bring ‘about certain effects, but we do not |always know all of the conditions. | We have no Information about affairs | 5000 feet above us, and yet a change up there often upsets all our calcula- tions. Forecasting is not, unfortu- nately, an exact science, and our pre- | dictions cannot be given with mathe- | matical accuracy. We hope some day to have sufficient data to be able to tell the weather for. a whole season in advance. Meanwhile we have to do the best we can with what we have.” San Francisco is considered by | Willis Moore, chief of the United States Weather Bureau, to be the most | @ifficult forecasting station in the country. McAdle averages better than any other forecaster in the service, according to the officlal records. For the last two years his predictions have Lbeen absolutely correct a trifle more | than nine times out of ten. That he ' has his work at heart is evidenced by |the fact that he pald for weather | cablegrame from Manila last week when his department would not In- cur the expense. 1 AN INDICTMENT Reasons That Impel Grand Jury to Action Are Not to Be Reviewed in Court KENNEDY LOSES BATTLE State’s Highest Tribunal Establishes a Precedent for Criminal Procedure BT i _The Supreme Court established the precedent yesterday that no tribunal can go back on an indictment by & grand jury. The question arose in the case of Willlam Kennedy, - who 1is charged with complicity in the mur- der of Policeman Robinson on Va- lencia street about two years ago. In accordance with the decision rendered the mulatto must ence more go to trial. ‘Kennedy was convicted of murder in the Superior Court on the testimony of an accomplice. On appeal the Su- preme Court declared that there was insufficient evidence to warrant a con- viction - and a new trial was ordered. | When the case came up for hearing | the Judge of the Superior Court dis- | missed the proceeding and discharged | the prisoner, who was immediately rearrested. Kennedy was subsequent- | 1y released on a writ of habeas cor- pus. District Attorney Byington went before the Grand Jury and secured the reindictment of Kennedy on exactly | the same evidence that the Suprems | Court had declared insufficient to con- | viet. When the prisoner was brought to court again he was discharged and re- | arrested. In all he was discharged | nine times and-as often taken In cus- | tody as he left the courtroom. His at- torneys appealed to the Supreme Court | to set aside the indictment. The court ' had already placed itself on record as ! deeming the evidence insufficlent, but | the question to be decided was the| right of a tribunal to consider testl- | mony given before the Grand Jury ! with a view to reversing the actlon of | that body. It is held that this cannot be done and Kennedy must answer to the charge of murder once again. Unless new evidence can be produced he will never go to San Quentin, for the State's highest tribunal holds him technically guiltless on the facts shown | thus far. —————————— For the real thing in printing see Hvl.d Knowles Company, 24 Second st.

Conroy With Withholding Papers. Buit was filed yesterday in the Su- perior Court by the Manchester Assur- ance Company against Thomas J. Con- roy, its former agent on gfi: coast, | for $25,000. An order is asked | compelling the defendant to give the | plaintiff corporation access to certain . books and papers and to restrain sub- | agents employed by him from inter- fering with the business of the com- plainant. Conroy was employed as agent for the Manchester Company from Au-| | gust 14, 1900, until August 13, 1904, when he was succeeded by Frank J. Devlin. His territory Included Cali- fornia, Oregon, Washington, Utah, Montana, Wyoming, Nevada, Colorado, New Mexico and Hawall. According to the complaint, when Conroy was removed from his position he failed to turn over to his successor certain books, letters, papers and coples of ! reports, which he is said to be using' for the benefit of a rival wmpnny1 by which he is now employed. The complainant accordingly asks for compensatory damages and a restrain- ing order. p—— e — Trapper’s Ofl cures rheumatism and neuralgia Druggists, 50c flask.

She gave him the earrings and since then she has not seen him. She says that Pittman also took with him her gold watch, valued at $100; a heart locket, valued at $85, and $900 in colin. She reported the case to Captain Martin on Friday evening and he ad- vised her to get a warrant in the morning. The wires were set in mo- tion and it is sald that Pittman has been found.
