bHcome memory Of the past.
The decision Of Judge Ross, handed
down on Wednesday, in which he
authorizes the issuing Of warrants for
the arrest OF Cinnamon under section o
oflthe Geary act, was not long in bear
Ing fruit.
EArly yesterday morning six COM
plants were sworn out against China
men.
The complaining witnesses were the
farmers OF the Cahuenga valley, who, q
1sw months ago organized protective
association.
The complaints were drawn up by At
torney Willoughby Cole. The papers
were then delivered to Judge Ross Tor
signature.
The Judge, however, refused to issue
more than three warrants, and neld
over the remainder until later in the
day when the other threeawere issued.
should the complaints be drawn up
in iorm. there will be no barrier to the
wholesale removal of Chinese who have
failed to register from Los Angeles.
Tbs Cahuenga farmers association de.
clare their Intention of swearing to
compl Aints against every Chinamsn in
the Cahuenga valley.
The Council of Labor only await the
trial OF the first Chinaman under the
decision of Judge Ross, to commence
similar proceedings against the Chinese
residents OF this city.
These proceedings would in all likeli-
hood have been taken some time ago,
as the trades unions presented COM
plants to Judge Ross some time ago for
him to pass upon, but owing to Judge
Ross thinking the trades unions desired
an order to compel United States Com
missioner Van Dyke to issue warrants
on the complaints under the exclusion
and registration clauses of the Geary
act, no action was then taken. .s
The Chinese of this city apparently
realize that the beginning Of the end ia
at hand.
Not since the passing of the Geary act
has there been so much excitement in
Chinatown.
Knots of despondent looking celestials
discussed the situation yesterday, and
already a number OF them have left
town for the interior and less accessible
portions of the state.
A prominent Chinaman told q reporter
yesterday that his countrymen had
given up all hope OF remaining in the
land of dollars and were prepared to &C.
cept the inevitable.
Mr.. Carlin, leading member of the
Cshuenga farmers Protective association,
in speaking OF the case to HERALD re-
1rter yesterday said that it was a. mat
'rr of self-preservatioh for the people
there to get rid of the Chinese. Some
ears ago the farmers there had hired
Chinese laborers. These men soon
learned the early vegetable business out
~ which the farmers had been making
large profits. and renting land from nom
residents went into the business them
eelves.
The white farmers soon found that
,i.y could not compete with, their Chi--

The Geary law is in the statute books,
and see no reason why it should not be
enforced"
POSITION OF THE FEDERATED TRADES.
Sixteen complaints were filed two
months ago with Judge Ross by w. H.
Mitchell, attorney for the Federated
Trades, under section of the Geary act.
Judge Ross has promised to render
speedy decision on these cases.
movement will soon be inaugurated
by the Federated Trades for the purpose
OF raising 5000 fund for the deports-
ton of the Chinese in this city, The
money will be placed in the hands of a
committee, who will advance the same
to the United States marshal to be used
in paying railroad fares to San Francisco.
where the steamship company will &C.
cept orders on the government for their
pay. Members of trades unions will be
asked to contribute one days pay for
the purpose, the money thus raised to
be loaned to the United States marshal
and returned when he is recouped by the
government.
II this plan Is carried out 1t means the
wholesale depopulation of Chinatown,
as the cost of transporting q Chinaman
to San Francisco will only be about 500.
The committee OF the federated trades
having the matter in charge estimate
that If necessary SIC, 900 can be raised in
two weeks for this purpose. An effort
will soon be made to bring the matter to
head just az soon as decision is rem
dered In the present cases.
