INDORSED BY GEARY.
Chinese Treaty Approved by the
Author of the Registration Act.


WASHINGTON, March 26-Representa-
tive Geary, Of California, Trainer of the
Geary Chinese registration act, has caused
some surprise by coming out in approval
of the new Chinese treaty. He does rot
agree with those who have argued that
it amounts to abrogation of the Geary law,
but looks upon 1t rather as recognition of
the registration principle which is the fea-
ture Of the law that bears his name. He
says: while believe that such laws are
justified by the spirit and letter OF the old
treaties. yet IL is idle to ignore the fact
that through all our attempts at legislating
upon the Chinese question we have in
CURED the hostility of a very large num-
Der Of people in the East who look upon
all Chinese. legislation as in bad faith, be-
this country and China"
He regards the proposed treaty as an ad-
vance on the PRESENT one in that 1t allows
while the present treaty provides only for
its suspension.
Mr.. Geary says: 1.-The much-abused reg
istry system. is recognized at last, even by
the Chinese government. This Is also gain
for us. for, when the Chinese accept this
friends have no cause to complain"
The California member sums up his
views Of the treaty as follows: For this
treaty. with a few changes, which 1 have
no doubt Will be Incorporated In II, the ad-
ministration Is entitled to great credit for
having finally settled the Chinese question
and l confidently hope such will be the
result. If there was nothing else to con-
suit but the sentiment of the Pacific coast
the task for any administration would be
easy in dealing with the Chinese question:
but our people must remember the large in
tereSts represented by the greater number
of people throughout the rest Of the United
States in representing the great financial,
political and religious interests which are
always battling against them. 1t Is a
cause of congratulation that the admin
istration has had the courage to recog-
nize as fully as II has the wants Of the
Pacific coast"

She Lost Her Beauty, Got Fortune, but
Failed to Win Back Her Husband.

CHICAGO, March 26.-The marriage of
Gilbert E. Bailey and Mrs. Carrie Earring

daughter of a prominent New York poll
tician. The couple settled on a ranch near

prairie fire. In the fire Mrs. Bailey was
burned so frightfully and disfgured that
her husband, il is said, ceased to care for
her, and she left him, going East Soon
afterwards she inherited fortune, went
to Paris, and, by a skin-grafting operet ton,
much of her former beauty was restored.
She returned to Chicago to find that Bailey
had secured a divorce, and was ardently
wooing Mrs. Harrington. Mrs. Bailey pur-
chased acknowledgements residence on
Michigan boulevard, and attempted to re-
gain her former husbands affections, but
with ill success. After several stormy
scenes she returned East broken-hearted
and Yesterdays wedding at Jersey City
ended the romance. Gilbert acquired some
fame as a newspaper correspondent In Hon
duras and during the Pine Ridge Indian
outbreak. His last wife is beautiful and of
