DEPORTING CHINESE.
Seventeen Prisoners Under a Large
Federal Guard.

Federal Guard.
large party Of Federal officials from the
State Of Michigan. accompanied by Z. S.
Peti', Chief of Police Of Port Huron, ar
rived in this city on a special car Among
the party were James Bates, special agent
of the Treasury of Detroit; E. S. Furger-
son. Chief Deputy United States Marshal of
Adrian; George A. Winslow. Chief Deputy
United States Marshal of Detroit; Hiram
Smoke, Special Agent of the Ire asury Of
Detroit; f. S. Petit. Chief OF Police Of Port
Huron, and Columbus Edgerton, d. Cong
don and w. F. Blythe. prominent citizens
Of Detroit and particular friends of the
Federal officials. The expenses Of the trip
are borne By that generous individual
known throughout the country as Uncle
Sam.
The object of the visit Of this formidable
array Of Federal officials was TO escort to
San Francisco seventeen Chinese who had
either been smuggled or stole their way
across the Canadian border.
The Chinese were captured and tried be-
fore the United States Comm ssioner at
Detroit. who sentenced them TO deportation
under the Geary act. Then the commits
si0ners ordered the Chinese. who had been
convicted Of being unlawfully in the cOun-
try, 10 be taken to San Francisco for depOr-
tatiOn and given into the custody Of the
Collector Of the Port, who should in turn
give them into the custody of the United
States Marshal until thew were depOrted.
When the order of deportation was given,
so one Of the party stated yesterday. there
were over 100 applications from Federal
Ofllce-hoders in Detroit and In the vicinity
TO take the Chinese 10 California. The sue
cessfui ones were those who form the party

ton Of Chinese found unlawfuIly in the
country under the Geary act will cost as
much the $4,000 appropriated for the en-
fOrcement Of that law will soon have a large
hole knocked through il. All the party say
that they had a splendid time on the road.
aud like what they have seen OF California
immensely.
On their arrival the Federal party took
the Chinese in their charge to Collector
Phelps and obtained a receipt for their pris-
Oners. This practically ended their bus-
ness. and the party proceeded to see the
town OF which they had heard so much.
In the afternoon Chief Of Police Petit of
Huron and the Deputy United States Mar
shals ia the party called upon Chief Crow
ley and Captain Lees and snapped stories
ABOUT criminals and prisoners. Chief Petit
was anxious to see the City Prison at the
new City Hall, and later went out there TO
make an inspection He had apparently
been very much disguised with the damp,
dirty, dark and ill-smelling hole at the old
City Hall. but thought that the accommoda-
tions OF the new prison were all that could

@"No more hanging" is the motto of sew

They have set to work to tear down the
scaffold. and they declare that they Will not
stop until they have done it.
The Society of Daughters of the Good
Shepherd. a powerful organization of ladies'
In California. is at the head of the movement
for the abolition Of capital punishment in
the State for any. offense.
This movement has been agitated a long
while in the ranks of the order, and now
the members have commenced to act.
Mrs. S. NJ. Theall took the lead of a dele
CATION OF six ladies and waited upon tile
Senate at Sacramento recently with the out

scented to champion their cause in that
body
The biz as twill be introduced will amend
the Penal Code 50 as to read as follows:
Treason against this State consists only
In levying war against 1t, adhering to its
enemies or giving them aid and comfort,
and can be committed only by persons Ow-
Ing allegiance 20 the State The punish
ment Tor treason shall be imprisonment in
the State prison for life.
Every person guilty Of murder I'm the
first degree is punishable by Imprisonment
in the State prison for life and every person
guilty OF murder In the second degree is
punishable by Imprisonment in the State
prison not less than ten years.
THE power to grant reprieyes, commuta-
tons and pardons after conviction is vested /:
First, in the Governor of the State for all
offenses except murder. treason aud cases
OF impeachment upon such conditions and
with such regulations and limitations as he
may think proper: second, in the Supreme
Court Of the State and the Governor of the
State for the otfense OF murder in the first
degree, and thId. ia the Supreme Court
and the Legislature jointly for tile offense
Of treason.
THE Supreme Court may suspend the
execution of the sentence upon conviction
for treason until the case can be reported to
the legislature at Its next meeting. when
the Legislature may either pardon, direct
the execution OF the sentence or grant
further reprieye"
Mrs. Theall is very enthusiastic on the
subject of this bill.
Capital punishment cheapens life" she
said, "and tends 10 ObiteTate that sacred

Il don't think the prisoners should be
kept in idlenesS. but then they should not

Capital punishment is barbarism and

But although Mrs. Theall vigorously holds
10 these views, there are many others who
just as vigorously hold to views that are
radically opposed 10 them.

the subject will be able to work any ''re-

ton run riot. and torn and mutiIated the
once grand scenic beauties Of the floor Of the
valley.
TINS CALL first drew attention to this
sp0liation Of the valley, and gave as testi-
mony the stories Of artists and appreciative
campers who had once known the grandeur
and beauties Of tile valley, before tie hands
of ALLEGED "impTovers" committed their
merciless dep7edauons under the orders
and sanction of Incompetent commissioners.
Next the scientist john Muir told how
the valley he had ITayer>ed for thirty years,
and loved on account Of the poetry and
idealism in every line Of Is forest and floral
scenery, had been robbed of some Of its
beauty. BE said that all that was de-
stTucti6le in the valley had 5een destroyed,
that its bloom and finish y ere things Ct the
past, and thar ali nat remained was the
indestTuctibie portion In the shape f the
unTiven rocks, fTOWBiDg cliffs and beautiful
hills carved BY a sculptor whose work
could not be destroyed by the hand Of
man.
In every instance those who testifed-and
their number is uumeTous-to the mutila-
tion Of the floral and forest setting and en-
broidery Of the valley thought that the COM
mIssiouers should not be allowed to 20 on in
this work of spelling SPOT which was one
OF the great gardens Of the world. and held
and advocated that the valley should revert
10 the National Government in order to be
spared from complete destruction.
So indiscTininate has been this cleaning
away If so-caled ''brush," that the beaut-
ful az leas, which once lifted their snowy
blossoms to the breeze from rocks now as
barren as quarry, can no longer be met
with by the visitor, who once delighted to
inhale their fragrance standing on a rock to
see the silver shimmering Of the Bridal
Ven as it Weaved its beautiful sheen around
th- fair face Of the imaginary Spirit Of the
Fails.
Under the head Of brush" to make room
for cows and hogs much Of the fora Of the
floor OF the valley has disappeared. aud
with it the bloom and finish Of the Yosemite.
How many crimes against the valley have
been committed in the name Of Improve
ments" cannot be understood except by an
actual view Of the sp0lation.
TaEe the neighborhood Of the Stoneman
House, for instance. al the time before it
was erected. when mutilation had already
been far advanced, and look at it now after
going through a course Of the Commission
eTs' improvements"
Almost every yestige of the forest and the
flower has disappeared. and every glimpse
OF the picturesque has vanished into thin air.
