REGISTRATION.
The Chinese Must Sign With Uncle
Sam or Go.

L. B. Ayers, the register agent
who is in Carson for the purpose of
signing the Chinese who wish to COM
ply with the Geary law. which goes
into effect May the 9th, has not had
a rush of business this trip.
He says of the negligence on the
part of the Chinese to take out Ger
tifcates of residence:
sit seems that the Chinese six
companies have assessed all the
Cinnamon in the United States from
one to five dollars and managed to
accumulate nearly a million dollars
with which to fight the law. They
do not seem to understand the pro-
lection it gives them and until we
place few hundred of them in the
penitentiaries at hard labor for not
having certificate of residence, they
never will.
"Why only yesterday Quong Hing
one of the Chinese merchants of your
city, told me that the six companies
had instructed them not to sign I'M
der pain of severe punishment. What
the punishment consists of l do not
know, unless it compels them to take
a bath or fumigate themselves. He
furthermore says that they don't
propose to do it, and that they con-
slider the laws made by the six COM
panies superior to the laws of the
United States.
eff this is the case it is about time
to show the Chinese the error of their
ways and give them dose of 7. 5.
law, or else quit making statute
books. The Chinese are getting too
thick in this country and We propose
to graduate the supply and the en-
forcement of the Geary law will be
the method.
''If the test case soon to be made
is knocked out, and / believe it will
be, the heathens will be compelled
to show their certificates or else suf>
fer the penalty"
"Will it not be great expense to
the Government to ship the offend
ers back to China as this law pro-
yides after they have finished the year
at hard laborl'
''Not particularly" continued Mr..
Ayers, ''we can send them over on
our new cruisers by the hundreds
and style the voyage trial trip. We
can afford to spend few million
dollars to enforce this law and if
necessary it ought to be spent.
"The six companies will spend
every dollar they have secured by
their assessment and it will be the
means of scattering some Chinese
money among Americans. Perhaps
it's a good thing flor us) that they
are attempting to fight the Law.
Since have been in Carson but one
Chinaman has been registered and it
don't seem that any more propose to
come to time.
Mr.. Ayers has his headquarters IN
Sacramento and is pretty generally
known in Nevada. He has won
derful memory for names and faces
which causes him to accost every
other man he meets, remembering
Just where he met him and under
what circumstances.
