CAN'T BE PUNISHED.
Violation of the Exclusion Act Not
Crime.
A New Orleans Circuit Judge Defines
the Geary Act-Deportation Is
the Only Redress.
Special TO THE MORNING CALL

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 1o.-Judge Billings
In the United States Circuit Court qua shed
the indictments against several Chinese for
violating the exclusion act, and defined the
powers Of Government officials. He said in
brief:
THE statute relied upon by the pros
ecutiDg officers Is found in the fourth sec
ton OF the act OF Congress OF May 8, 1892
That statute. IL seems 10 me, deals with the
coming in of Chinese as police matter and
10 Is the re-ensctinE and continuing OF what
might be termed q quarantine against the
Chinese. They are treated as would be IN
fscted merchandise, and Imprisonment is
rot punishment for crime, but the means
Of keeping the damaging individual safely
I'LL he can DO sent away. In q summary
manner and as . political matter this
ceminR In is to be prevented. The matter
Is dealt with as political and not criminal.
The words used are those ordinarily found
In the Criminal Statutes But the intent Of
Congress lie, as II seems to be unmistakable,
that after the unlawful presence Of an alien
ID determined, he must be sent back TO his
country by the Treasury Department at
Washington, and to prevent unreasonable,
and possibly oppressive detention, Ii must
be within one year. Meanwhile he must be
Kept from entering the community of the
people Of the United States, and therefore
IL to be imprisoned to prevent expense to
the Government and as sanitary matter he
10 20 be made to work.
This, 10 seems to me, is the meaning of
the clause relied upon to authorize the trial
and punishment for crime. There is
nothing 10 the statute declaring 1t shall be a
crime or a misdemeanor for Chinaman to
come into this country. Unlawfulness is not
made the basis of criminal procedure or de-
tsDtiop, but rather made a warrant to send
him back. The Imprisonment spoken of in
the statute is that which Is necessary TO
sffectuate bis return. 1t seems to me that
section deals with proceedings before
the commissioner conducting an examina-
ton, which is political and NOT criminal,
and amounts TO a direction to him, and the
authorities who conduct the transportation
or removal back to China, aud Is two-fold-
ffst, that the Chinese adjudged to be here
uplawfuliy shall be removed within year,
and, secondly, that until the removal lie
shall be kept In prison and made to work.
I'm accordance with these views must
direct that this indictment be Quashed. and
that the defendant be remanded to the Gus
fody of the commissioner 10 be dealt with
according to law.

special says; The probable failure Of the
monetary conference is so discounted here
that the failure will make no impression.
The principal Austro- Hungarian papers
rdicule the prophecy OF terrible conse-
quences. eoDtending that any action such
as is foreshadowed Ia President Hsrrlson's
