They Must Serve Their Term in a
state of Durance vile.

WASHINGTON, May 13.-The Supreme
Court, today, sustained the action of Dis
trict Judge Ross, at Los Angeles,
in sentencing Thomas j. Cuddy and
Alexandra Sabin, to imprisonment for
contempt of court. The contempt
consisted of alleged attempts to
bride witness and juror in the hallway
of the courthouse building, but outside
of the courtroom itself. The principal
contention for the sentenced men was
that the contempt powers of the court
did not extend outside the building. The
Court holds that misbehavior anywhere
within the place set apart by the law for
the holding of court is contempt OF
court. The opinion is by Justice Harlan.

LOUISVILLE, May 13.-President CLARK,
of the Louisville Jockey Club to-day tele-
eraphed President Palmer of the Book
makers Association to appear here to-
morrow, and show cause why the associ-
alton should not be ruled off for endeav-
oring to prevent the bookmsker from
going on at the track and for other causes.
This is understood to mean that Colonel
Clark finds himself in suf-
ticiently strong position to force the
fighting and bring the bookmakers
to terms. If the association is ruled off
here, it will, of course, be driven from all
tracks under control of the Turf Con-
gress.

INC Exclusion Act constitutional.

The Exclusion Act Constitutional.
The Supreme Court of the United
States has handed down its decision in
the Chae Chang Ping case, and holds
that the Scott Exclusion Act is constitu-
tional. This settles the Chinese ques-
ton. Hereafter the power OF Congress
to exclude from the country aliens
whose presence is deemed undesirable,
cannot be questioned. Indeed, nobody
ever doubted the power Of the nation to
protect itself from the entry OF any class
of people whom it deemed undesirable.
The tenor of all the decisions heretofore
re ndered by the Supreme Court OF the
United States, in cases of this character
has been to affirm the power. In the
celebrated Passenger cases, where the
whole question of foreign immigration
came up, there was no clashing of opin.
ion whatever in relation to the right oil
Congress to exclude aliens. The de-
cision, however, turned upon the ques
ton as to whether individual States had
this right. Therein the point was settled
that, under the Constitution, the pas
senger traffic was an affair to be con
trolled by Congress, under the section
which gives Congress the power to regu'
late commerce. All the writers on
international law lay down the rule
that the admission or exclusion of aliens
is an element of the sovereignty CT ma
ton, and the exercise of the power being
discretionary, cannot be questioned
We congratulate our fellow-townsman,
Hon. Stephen M. White, upon the con-
spicuous part he took in this appeal.
He was one of the counsel sent by the
Legislature of this State to affirm the
constitutionality of the law. His argu
ment before the Court received the
praise of veteran constitutional lawyers
and we have no doubt be greatly con
tributed to clear away the legal obstruc
tions which the eminent counsel on thu
other side had thrown around the case
1t used to be the fashion to say tina
the Chinese must 60. This phase OF thu
question loses much of its interest in 1
knowledge of the fact that the Chimes
must not come.

San Jose, at Guatemala. knows that old
San Jose Joe has been in and about that

is over thirty feet in length. THIS was as

the Acapulco on the trip before the last,
when spar measuring thirty feet had fallen
over the ships side, and old Joe came
along, and after smelling Of it foated
alongside, measuring exactly Its length.
