that alien laborers are brought into

oHoATgs OPENING ARGUMENT
Associated Press.


Washington, May 1O.-A special ses-
sion of the supreme court was held to-
day to hear arguments upon the con-
stitutionality Of the Geary Chinese ex-
clusion act Argument was opened by
Joseph H. Choate of New York, for pc
titioners for writ of habeas corpus
He said there were two questios at
issue: First, shall one hundred thous-
and helpless residents of this country,
under authority Of an act of congress,
without review by its courts, be de-
ported to their native country; and
second, in case the emperor of China
shall tomorrow feel inclined to follow
the example of this great enlightened
country and expel from his domain,
Americans residing therein, shall the
voice Of this people, either through the
government, its press. or by individ-
uals, be prevented from uttering a sin
gle protest.
Solicitor General Aldrich followed on
behalf of the United States. He con-
tended that the Geary act had not for
its purpose the deportatio nof Chinese
laborers, but to provide a system Of
Identification, which is a lawful pur-
pose and has never been disputed. The
methods are lawful, and the act rea-
sonable and humane. Aldrich main
tanned the right of congress to require
registration for the Identification of
citizen or aliens. Concluding, Aldrich
said the police. power rested with the
state, the nation or the people, and
intimated that it would be better for
the Chinese If the nation retained con-
troll. for in view of the temper of the
people In msoe states, any action taken
by the people of those states would
-he- drastic in character, hav-
of the obnoxious race.

A shooting affray occurred near Pill
lar Rock yesterday afternoon, as re-
suit of which Dan Gagnon, half-breed
may lose his life The victim was shot
on board Grants whisky scow by Ma
than Pickernell for whom he was boat
puller. Gagnon was brought to st.
Mary's hospital last evening, and was
seen by an Astorian reporter after his
wounds had been dressed. His account
Of the circumstances leading to the
affair was in part confirmed by the
statement Of George Vinson, an eye
witness to the shooting, from whom
the following was obtained: Before
the occurrence" said vinson, several
Of us were on the scow, and Gignon
said to me: 4 wonder what is the mat
ter with Nathan, he has been quar-
relsome with me all day. Shortly af-
ter Pickernell remarked that Pete San
vich was the best oarsman on the riv-
er Gignon replied that he would bet
twenty dollars that he could out row
him and could take him on the beach
and whip him afterward. Some words
followed and Gignon hit Pickernell
with his open hand. The latter then
went to his mothers house and seized
gun. When he returned Gignon made
an attempt to grab the weapon, but
failed and was shot In both legs above
the knees. The two barrels were dis
charged. Pickernell then reloaded his
gun and left, and took hold of Dan,
who was about to fall, and brought
him here"
DIR. Estes who attended Gignon, is
afraid Of blood poisoning, and says
that the muscles Of the unfortunate
mans legs. above the knees are
frightfully mangled. The gun was
about two feet distant from Gagnon
when discharged. and the shot tore
holes several inches in diameter In his
legs Up to late hour no word Of
Pickernell's capture was received.

A CALIFORNIA COLLAPSE.

San Jose, May 10-The Bank Of San
ia Clara County today closed Its doors,
The action was brought about by the
discovery that a shortage of from
$15O,OOO to 100000 existed. c. C. Hay
ward, cashier of the bank died last
week and yesterday, H. H. Leonard,
vice president and manager, informed
all of the directors that irregularities
existed in the books. This afternoon
Leonard filed petion in insolvency,
fixing the liabilities, at. $1900OO. and
assets at $144,OOO The belief is that
both Leonard and the dead cashier
used the money in mining stocks and
real estate. Leonard's schedule showed
that he had borrowed $1S7,0S2 from the
bank, most of the notes being unse-
cured.
