The pretty young woman who has accompanied Pem- broke and his parents in court, and who it was understood was a sister of the defendant, is in reality Miss| Grace Eaton, his sweetheart. Every day since the beginning of | Pembroke’s trial the young woman has attended court. As she was always with Pembroke’s mother, and as she resembles the accused not a little, the| supposition that she was a sister arose | quite naturally, and no effort was mada | to contradict the reports published that | such was the relationship between the | girl and the youth. Today the secret| came out, and the young woman, taxed | with the story that she was the in- tended bride of young Pembroke, blush ingly declined to either affirm or deny that it was true. She admitted that she was the daughter of the late Daniel Eaton, formerly a well-known Eastern railroad man, and lives with her mother at 1220 Harrison street. Pembroke took the same stand as his sweetheart and said that their secret would be made | known after his trial. | Testimony for the defense in the ase was continued today, two brothers of the defendant being examined.

The purpose of this was to broaden the restriction in order that it should not ap- pear to be aimed Airectly at Japan. It is prob- able that the President and Secretary Root mcted upon this line and obtained assurance from Japan that 1o objection would be made to the exclu- sion from the mainland of all Asiatic laborers coming from the insular possessions. so long as Japanese were not especially mentioned.

Congress s &s anxious as ihe President to settle the Japanese question be- fore furtber friction occurs. iverybody realizes that the continued influx of Japanese fnto Cali- fornis can have oply one outcome. Ever since the President told us Californians that he bad changed Lis position on the question of ex- clusion and was with us, we have belleved | that some srrangement would be made which would settle the whole question. The President chenged bis position because he preceived that | friction with Japan would increase so long as coolies poured into the coast States, He was | forced to conclude that exclusion was the only | way to avold eventual war. e prospect of obtaining even partial ex-| clusion is of course exceedingly gratifying to us.

He said, in part: | Because the people of California have taken a decided stand in favor of the exclusion of | Asiatic coolles, they are too frequently referred to as belng intolerant and provincial. They are neither. On the contrary, they are among the | most tolerant people in the whole world, while | San_ Francisco, the splendid metropolis of the Golden State, 1s one of the most cosmopolitan | communities on the face of the globe. Walking along her busy thoroughtares one meets repre. sentatives of every race of every land, of every clime, and 'even the occasional Immi- grant from the distant Indies, clothed in the | strange, fantastic garb of his native land, | scarcely excites passing comment. And it is not at all strange that such should be the case. The very manner in which the State was set- tied bred a spirit of tolerance from the very ng. In this eountry of ours, with its diverse and sometimes conflicting interests, it takes a long time to bring about a decided sentiment on | such an important question as the exclusion of any particular race. In the matter of Chinese exclusion, altbough the residents of California were practically a unit on the subject, it took four long years of constant and aggressive agi- tation to bring about the enactment of the first Chinese immigration law. And although a quarter of a century has roiled around since | then. 1 think the overwhelming sentiment of | the people of this country is in favor of the rigld enforcement of those laws, provided al- ways, that no personal indignities are visited upon ' those Chinese who are especlally ex- empted from the provision of those laws And therefore, the people of California, with | the experjences of the past to guide tbem, have looked forward to a long and bitter struggle to| secure the extension of the exclusion laws to| Japanese and Korean coolies. But the incident | of the segregation of the Japanese children from white children in the primary and gram: mar schools of San Francisco at once brought the question of the exclusion of Japanese la- borers into the foreground and made it a burn- ing, vital ssue. But in the matter of the seg- regation of puplls, an effort has been made to create the impression throughout the country | that Sen Francisco bad denied all Japanese | children admission into her public schools. No such step has even been contemplated. The ac- tion of the school board simply contemplated the consolidation of all Japanese school children under ome roof, and it has been generally ad- anese and other Orlental children was equal as good as were the schools attended by white children. The corps of instructors were ex- perienced in thelr work and compared most favorably with the teachers in the other schools of the city. It is not my purpose to diseuss this school question this evening. My individual opinion is, and always bas been, that every State In the Union has the absolute right to regulate her own schools in any manpner she sees fit and that no ontsider, not even the Pres- ident of the United States, has the right to interfere. Bt the courts probably will pass upon the subject; anything I may say upon It will be purely academic. Unfortunately, how- ever, the discussion of the school question has constantly carried more or less war talk in its train. Personally, I have never taken any stock in such talk. 1 bave always felt that the good common sense of the two nations would assert itself, and that a solution would be found that would_be creditable allke to the people of our own Government and the government of Japan. 1 belleve wuch u programme is now fairly under way, and that there is every prospect for an early settlement of the much discussed question. And in its solution, I hope the question of the exclusion of Japanese coolies will likewise be determined. JAPANESE LINE TO COAST Steamships Are to Ply Between Homo- lulu and This Port HONOLULU, Feb. 6.—The appear- ance in several Japanese newspapers of advertisements offering transporta- tion to the coast for $80 on board the steamship Ohio has created consider- able interest in labor circles. This ad- vertisement also promises the estab- lishing of a line of two steamers which will make three calls at Honolulu monthly. The text of one of the ad- vertisements is as follows: The " steamship Ohlo, 8400 tons, 15 kuots, bas accommodations for 1000 men. The fare between Homolulu and San Francisco will be The first :rlp ";g ] 1 be made from Hono- of the Pacific trade.

The steamship company owning the Alameda bas thelr passports and their eyes examined, without reason, and charge a fee for the latter service. This company will never glve its pas- sengers that kind of inconvenience. The ‘Call- fornia Transfer Steamship Company, in order to avoid those inconven! , bas decided to open a line here and have two steamers on it, mak- ing the passage three times a month.

Before begin- ning operations on the safe they over- powered Ceno Gwerder, the night watchman at the college, bound and gagged him, and then, safe from inter- ruption, proceeded to wreck the strongbox. Shortly before midnight three masked men suddenly sprang .upon Gwerder, who had just visited the clock tower. They hurled him to the ‘ground and, threatening him with death if he made .an outery, bound his hands with his own necktie and his feet with the strap of the watchman's clock. They then forced a gag between_ his teeth, and throwing the helpless man into a clump of undergrowth calmly went about their criminal project. The office safe was quickly blown open and rifled. The cracksmen on leaving the building released the hands of the night watchman and escaped be- fore an alarm could be given. Deputy Sheriffs H. K. Clark and Wil- liam Moffitt hastened to the college from this city, but were unable to dis- cover any trace of the safe-crackers, although the surrounding country was searched until an early hour this morning. The explosion awakened many of the occupants of the building in which the safe was blown, leading a number of | the girl students to believe that an earthquake had shaken the structure. Many of them fled screaming from their rooms and huddled together in the halls in their fright. When it was learned that safe-crackers had been at work in the college the panic became greater, and many of the girls precipitately fled to their rooms and locked themselves in, fearing that the robbers would[ return to loot the dormitories. | ' Around the Bay | BURGLARS CONVICTED—Oakland, Feb. 12.— Willlam G.
