Daniel j. Creighton, generally
known as "Dick" Creighton, the
jury briber, was sentenced by Judge

to Imprisonment in the State Prison

The Solicitor of the Treasury,
Hepburn, has given ruling upon
questions submitted through the
Navy Department from Commander
Green of the Alert at Honolulu, re-
garding enlistments of Chinese.
Most Of the wardroOm servants OF
the Alert were Chinese enlisted at
Honolulu, and the Commander de-
sired TO know if the Chinese Restric-
ton Act prevented his bringing
them to the United States, they
being part of the complement of his
vessel. The acting Secretary of the
Navy, Commodore Walker, also
asked whether or not Chinese EN-
| ployed as servants in the navy, who
enlisted as such outside of the United
States, would be permitted TO enter
the United States and at the eXpira-
ton of their term be discharged in
the United States. The Solicitor
decided that these Chinese would
be allowed to land and be dis
charged from service in the United
States. He holds that Chinese
as servants on board United States
vessel are seamen and as such can
not be construed as coming under
the term laborers or immigrants in
the meaning CT the Exclusion Act.
There was nothing connected with
the enlistment of Chinese on the
Alert to show that they were enlist
ed for the purpose of getting into
the United States and that they were
evading the law. Acting Secretary
Batcheller of the Navy believes that
Chinese enlisted Oh board United
States vessels are constructively
within the United States the moment
they go on board the vessel, as the
United States domain extends wher-
ever the flag floats.
