THE GEARY ACT IN JE- PARDY.
foreign affairs last night in refusing to
accept Geary's amendment providing
for an absolute means of Identification
by photogrsphing or otherwise, in order
to prevent the use OF Chinese register
certificates by others, resulted in de-
clsion by the Pacific coast members, led
by Geary and White to fight tae bill
tooth and nail.
1t appears that this Identification pro-
vision is deemed essential to Everett to
the extension of time of registration;
that the underlying and private reason
for tee termination of the fight for the
extension measure is fear Of a new law
TO be again barred by the supreme
court. This would re pen the whole
question, and, by a decision of the SUI
preme court, the Geary exclusion law
might be made unconstitutional. IT, e
decision by which is constitutionalIty
was upheld was only rendered by a ma
Jorlty OF one in the supreme court. JUS

here and it IS feared that in case the
matter should again come before the
| court the former decision might be re-
versed.
Geary declares that while it nav be
| impossible to defeat the Everett bill in
the house, in case the committee on
rules brig it in in order it can be de-
feat5d in the senate.
