regarding the Japaaeea altuatiun, the Sun

from the seat of govarnment, know a good
deal about what goes on In Washington

They had read and heard of other out.
fits that had been "summoned to Wash
ington" to "talk things over," and how
such outfits had left the White House
swearing that the present president
wouldn't know how to go about making a
mistake if he tried, and they were deter
mined that Jfhls thing shouldn't happen to
their mayor and school officials.
Bo b fore the mayor and the rest of the
Washington bound outfit left Ban Fran
cisco they were plainly told that they would
be expected to stand by the Ban Francisco
view of the Japanese question and that
any evidence or even symptom of craw
fishing on their part would be taken by the
coasters a a deliberate "knock at Cali
fornia." Idayor Schmlts and bis herd
duly promised that they'd be good and
left for Washington.
But the San Francisco folks were going
to make sura They kept right at the
Bchmlts delegation at every stage of that
party's progress across the continent At
every atop the train made a raft of tele
grama was banded to Mayor Bchmlts and
his oompaniens signed by officials and citi
aens of Ban Francisco. "Buck up and stay
burky" waa the general essence of all of
theae telegrams addressed to the train on
which the party travelled.
"Don t welch,1' one telegram read. "You
don t hare to bo cocky, but you're ex
pected to stick." read another. "Don't let
anybody talk your arm off." waa ono ad
dressed personally to tha mayor. "If you
stand pat you'll be patted wbea you get
back. If you don't " was another one.
' At ono stop midway aoruaa the oT41nnt
tha party reocived no less than alxty-threa
telegrams from the thoroughly wound-up
San Franciscans of which tha following are
a few samples:
"Be different. Roosevelt runs everybody.
Don't let him run you."
"You're for California and not Teddy.
Remember that."
"Take a brace. Don't be putty."
' "You're going against the tolklst with
the teeth. Show him yours If ba tries to
corral you."
, "Don't ba quarter horses. Stay the dla
tanca" "No curling up. Stay with it."
"Don't fall for that hynoptlc gag."
"We're watching you carefully, boys."
"Show soma spine."
"Look out for that mollycoddling stuff."
The man you're going to brace la a aboot-
iat"-
"Don't get run down between the bases."
"We know he's great and a wonder and
all that atuff. But be's wrong about the
Jap thing hera and don't let him make you
think he's right"
"No hufBrag. ,
-li there's clinch, look out for those
kidney roastera He fights with both
mltu." , ....
. "Yiouj can't bo in agreement with the big
aticker and wtth your neighbors out here,
too."
"Ask him if he meant it when ha wrote
that he'd aend the United States army
against us If wa didn't behave."
" Stop, look and listen.' "
When tha niayor and hia party -reached
Washington, do? tired, they found another
large package of telegrams awaiting them
at their hotel, all of which they read be'ore
they turned in.
Before going to bed that first night.
Mayor Schmlts and his associates, in a
body, visited a well known Washington
cafe, frequented by notables, and partook
of soma liquid refreshment A Ban Fran
ciscan residence here this winter caught
then In 'the act. and ha promptly sent a
wire to Ban Francisco aettlng forth tha
statement that the first thing the party
did upon reaching Washington was ' to
repair to the splderweb groggery and com
up to tha ntnea Thla telegi&s; waa pub
lished In some of the Ban Frandco news
pa per a Tha mayor and hia bunch gut
results from that telegram by tha basket
ful on the following morning.
Here are a Jew of the telegrams they re
ceived from their watchful Ban Francisco
neighbors:
"lie ported that you're all rummy. Stop
it"
"Btick to tha waterwagon until you've
don your business."
"Flag tha red eye. The Heap Big Stick
might smell your breaths."
"Papers hera say you're all spiffed to
the ayes. Better be good."
"Don't let 'am get next to your rummlneaa
at tha White Housa Folks are thrown
out of there for mighty little cause. Re
member Mrs. Minor Morria
"Win your point first and get your sou
afterward."
"Stated hero that you all got pickled last
night Why. Bchmltsyl"
vli you can't bo good, bo careful."
"Eleventh Commandment Thou Shalt not
be caught with the good a"
"Dutch courage Is all right, but' don't
let tha boose take you."
"Can't you people have it out with him
without getting all lit np in advancer
"Be Jonardaba for this one cruise, any
how." "If you must drink, get under cover."
"Aa long as you don't fill up on sake
it's all risht"
After the first conference of tha mayor
and his party with tha president the im
pression got out that the president bad
forced the Ban Franciscans to admit a
good many things that helped his alda of
the argument This impression waa wholly
wrong, for the Ban Franciscans were an
unyielding lot from the beginning, but it
reached the Ban Francisco papers, and
then the mayor and bis bunch were pos
itively covered with telegrama They are
said to have received no less than 314 on
the day following their first talk with the
president, and many of '. them were hot
onea Several of the dispatches were of
considerable length, notably those Bent by
various labor organizations of Ban Fran
cisco, but thi.se sent by Individuals were
crisp and to tha point, and generally of
the aame tener aa those sent while the
party was on its way to Washington, as,
for Instance, th following:
"Bo you weie hot-aired, were your'
"Joined the snow sbovelera, have youT"
(Easterners are often alluded to by Cali
fornia folks as "now ahovelers.")
"Stated hera that you're backing down.
You've got to com back bare sooner or
later. Remember that"
"Don't be fooled by promtsea Promises
are made; get them in writing."
"Bad impression created here by report
of first conference. Don't be bamboosled."
"Tha Jap coolies have got to be kept
out of tha United States, and Japs that
have have got to ba kept out of Califor
nia schools. These are tha two points.
Don't recede from them."
"He may string you, but ha can't string
aU of ua"
"If there's going to be any bulldosing.
beat him to it We're with you on that."
"Let him do tha talking if it tickles him.
But you get results."
"Being said her that you're becoming
hypnotised. Better buy some green gog
glea" The above are only specimens. Borne of
the telegrams were couched in terms a
great deal stronger. Nor did the alert Ban
Franciscans cease distributing this con
fetti of dispatches at any stage of tha
proceedings. .Every day during the con
ferences tba mayor and Ms party were
swamped with messages from their Ban
Francisco friends, aa well aa from un
friendly onea whoa messages were of a
threatening nature. It is said that the
president waa keenly disappointed when he
found how "stubbornly" they resisted his
offhand and somewhat cocksure presenta
tion of bis alda of tha controversy. Tha
preaident. If thla ba true, could have bad
little appreciation of tha predicament In
which the mayor and hia party found
themselves when they were "summoned"
to Washington.

DUBLIN. Feb. 24. -Special. Dr. VM.
mond O' Meagher Condon of Atchison,
Kan., will on Sunday, March 10, unveU
the Manchester's Martyrs' memorial la
Tipperary. It Is stated that he will on
that day perform a function and occupy
a position to which, so far as we are
aware, there la no parallel in history.
The memorial will be unveiled by a man
who nearly forty yeara ago stood in tha
dock with Allen, Larkln and Gould, who
was tried on the same evidence. Identified
by the aame witnesses, convicted and tried
and sentenced to death by the same judges,
but against whom the evidence, tainted
from the first, waa so utterly untruslwc
thy that ha was reprieved.
Allen and the others declared solemnly
that they had not intended to burt Ser
geant Brett. Dr. O'Meagher Condoa in
hia speech from the dock at Manchester
at that time uttered a phrase which ha
since become historic. "I have nothing,"
he said in concluding bis speech, "to re
gret or to take back. I can only aay,
Ood save Ireland."
