Certified copy glven to United States District Attor- mey Deviin.”"—Message wired to Presi- dent Roosevelt yesterday by President Walsh of the Board of Education. In the telegram quoted above, Mayor Schmitz and the school board flashed their formal surrender across the con- tinent to the national capital. With the swish of the big stick still sound- ing in their ears, they met yesterday and calmly resolved that the schools of the city be thrown open to Japanese pupils. It was the same body of men which, but a few weeks before, had de- parted for Washington determined, so they said, that the rights of California and San Francisco should be upheld. As though ashamed of the work that they were to do, the Mayor and the school hefird met vesterday in secret conference. It required two sessions, one in the morning and another in the afternoon, both star chamber perform- ances, to complete the task. After the ard had adjourned President Walsh urried to a telegraph office and sent the news to President Roosevelt. United States District Attorney Dev- |1in was also informed of the board’s action and, In accordance with instruc- tions from Washington, he will, dismiss the sults begun In the courts to force the local schools to -admit Japanese children.

LIKE THE COLLINS CASE Those who have noted a remarkable | similarity between the Collins case and the trial of Ruv{‘rivrfll('d the fact yes- terday that it was exactly at this stage of the proceedings that Coilins became a fugitive. Four jurors had been drawn to try Collins on July 7, 1903, | and an adjournment was taken till the following Monday. Four jurors have been drawn for Ruef and an adjourn- ment is announced for Monday.

Ruef, who is on the | way that Collins traveled and who is “golng quite nicely now, thank you,” as one of the prosecution put it last inlghl. has arrived at the point where | his prototype thought Canada advisa- | ble. Ruef may entertain similar ideas bout foreign residence, but he will inoz be able to carry them out—not whlle Elisor Biggy is on guard. The ready-to-be-trted Mayor must | wait his turn, but the trial of Ruef will be swift and he will not have to walt many weeks to learn the fate of the man that took him up a fiddler and taught him how to be a boodler. On Monday next the jury box will be filled by the drawing of eight adadi- | tional names. Then the men will all | bs examined. The Incumbents of the | Jury box, in the order of the drawing, are: $ J.
