To reach the East school re quires two hours, and gives him only five minutes to spare before the first class in the morning. Miss Rhodes said that one of the ‘Japs admitted that he had but re- cently arrived from Japan, and that he had never been to school in the United States before. Angstead and Rydeen take the same attitude as Miss Rhodes. They feel that their children are entitled to more consideration than the alien element in Seattle. ‘The Star put the matter up to the office of the city superintendent of | schools. “The whole trouble is this,” T. R. Cole, assistant superintendent, sald: “In enforcing strictly a rule made necessary by the greatly congested condition of our high schools, some people are certain to feel that they are being subjected to hardship, But if we make an exception in one case or in three cases, we will have to do the same in several hundreds of others. And then the whole school system would be in a tangle. ALL HIGH SCHOOLS ARE OVERCROWDED “In the first place, we have not jough high schools in Seattle, Ev. eryeinstitution has its complement of portables—every one is very much overcrowded, “So this year we made the rule |that the high schools would take jcare of the pupils in their own dis: trict first, and those from outside the district would have to make other arrangements, To take care of part of the overflow we built the East school, with accommodations for 300 freshmen, It is filled to ca pacity, and there we are. “As to the Japs, so long as the city of Seattle receives them and they are allowed to attend our schools we have to admit them in the district in which they live, the same as we do the children of any other residdnts, whether they are citizens of the United States or not." Both last year and the year be- |fore, Assistant said, th grade schools graduated enough students to fill a new high school, The Roosevelt high school is the only one being planned at present.

LICENSE WITNESSES MAY FACE PERJURY CHARGE It was ascertained that the wit- nesses who signed the application for the marriage license were Agnes London and John Sefston, for whom search is to be made by the prose cutor. “It is Mkely," he said, “that charges of perjury will be filed. They swore thé girl was 18.” € Attorney Jake Kalina, represent: ing Tony, argued for an immediate dismissal of the charge against his client, but the case was continued until October 18, to give the prosecu- tion time to find the license wit- nesses, “The supreme court has held,” said Kalina, reading from a book of law, “that a girl over 14 and a boy over 18 can be legally married without con- sent of the parents. That is what happened in this case.” Sophie's mother left tke courtroom with the girl in tow, but her daugh- ter turned to smile coyly at her young husband. It is understood the mother will attempt to have the mar- riage annulled.
