unabio as yet to curq an answer that

any bill' that JVi pasjj dealing with the

who oppose the antl-allen land ownership
bill passed' by the California senate will
hold Its operation in suspense by an ap
peal to the referendum, and tho validity"
of the law will bo tested in the feJeral
tipreme court, accbrdtng. to' President
David Starr Jordan of Leland Stanford
university.
This opinion was expressed by Dr. Jor
dan In an address before the City club
here this afternoon. Dr. Jordan is a dole
gate, to the peace congress now In- session
here.
The case, that in the onlnlon of Dr. Jor
dan, will bo tested In the supreme court.
Will result in a decision as to whether
line can be drawn between tho prop
erty-owning rights of Persians, Ar
menians, Turks and kindred nationalities,
ellglblo (o cltlienthlp, and the Japanese
and Chinese, who are. not eligible under
the federal laws,
Dr. Jordan said, personally, he con
sider the bill unconstitutional.
I am opposed to a state usurping
federal power," he said. "If the United
States maintains It standing among
other nation It must act as a unit; If it
allows California to do something, to
usurp 1U power, and then trie to tU
the blame where it belongs, the question
soon would be, asked. 'WhV Is California.!'
"The Japanese either can be kept out
of the United States with a club or they.
can bo admitted and they will go to
work." '

Social Centers, Vocation
School and Sewing Clnaa.
An evening high (chool, a ipeclal par
ental school, social centers as "people's
unlvorslty," . a .technical hlgn school, a
vacation school, domestic science In
seventh and .eight grades and sewing In
tfre. high school these are the recommen
dations of Superintendent B, U. Graft of
the public schools made In his annual re
port to the board of Education.
Summarized the recommendations of
the superintendent are as follows:
The most immediate need In our city Is
a technical, or Industrial high school. As
soon, at It Is practicable to supply It such
a' school should be created.
"The five schools which are not equip
ped for manual training should bo equip
ped at' an early date.
"Domestic science in the high school
should bo extended to Include sewing.
It ls'd'eslrable'that the work of domestic
science be Introduced Into the elementary
schools.
"I recommend that evening school
work be made to Include high school sub
jects. "On account of compulsory school at
tendance until tho ago of 16. our schools
contain a number of boys who have no
Interest In school work and who are with
difficulty retained In school at all, There
fore I recommertd to the committee on
teachers and Instructions that next year
a special school be established which will
orter special, forms of work for such
pupils.
"It would be a good Idea to establish a
vacation school." This la (or those who
fall in studies or who desire to progress
more rapidly.
'Lectures on sclentlfio, economic, gov.
ernmental and literary subjects In school
buildings, five or at centers being pro
vidHl, and local, talent chiefly used."
President Holovtchlner of. the Board of
Education favors .these plans, and mem
bers of the .board will reek. to have-them
put. Into effect as early as possible next
