Washington dispatch: McKenna OF
California has reported favorably to the
House from the census committee the
bill introduced by Mr.. Morrow to pro-
vide for a complete enumeration OF the
Chinese population Of this country. The
bill proposes to furnish each Chinese
person with certificate describing him,
and that any Chinese person found In
the United States after the taking OF tho
census without a certificate shall be re-
turned to the place from whence he
came.
'sThe necessity for such identification
of the Chinese persons lawfully re-
| siding in the United States" says
the report, ''arises out of the fact
that Notwithstanding the legislation
that has been had for the purpose of ex-
! cluding Chinese immigration, such Inn
| migration continues to come into the
| United States clandestinely over the
| border from Canada and Mexico, and
| promises to continue unless effective
measures are taken to guard the from
tier. or provision Is made as contem-
pIated In this bill for the Identification
| of the Chinese people who are now here
| SO as to distinguish those who shall
hereafter unlawfully come into the
United States"
