HOW CHINAMEN GET IN,

Evnsions of the Law.

Lawyers Get Big Fees for Aiding in
Evnsions of the Law.
Washington, May 2S.-In response to
a resolution of inquiry the attorney
general sent to the senate the cor
respondence relating to the Illegal
entry of Chinese into the United States.
The documents enclosed cover the
smuggling IN Of Chinese at the ports
of Plattsburg, N. Y, and st. Albans,
Newport and other ports in Vermont,
on the pretense that emigrant China
men are natives, and therefore citi-
zens of the United States, the plan of
proceeding being TO have Cinnamon at
the port Of entry swear that they are
the fathers of the immigrants and that
the Sons" were born in the United
States. This oath, under the law, as
sures the release of any Chinaman ar
rested for violation of the restriction
law.
In letter from United States Dis
trict Attorney Poucher. dated Oswego,
N. Y, he says the practice of import
ing Cinnamon after this manner has
long been in practice at st. Albans and
other places in Vermont. He says there
arc atlol nesS regularly engaged IN as
sisting Chinese immigrants to evade
the law, and that some of those in Ver-
mont are making from $1,000 to $4,000
per year in the business. He adds the
remark that he has no doubt that the
Cinnamon come in under a stipulation
to pay the lawyers stated compensa-
ton upon their release. San Francisco
is almost always given as the place of
birth. and it is impossible to discredit
the evidence. The Chinese seek arrest,
In order to have the matter settled in
the courts after this manner.
District Attorney Senter, of Vermont,
In letter strenuously denies the re-
port of combination to promote this
class of immigration In order to in
crease the fees of federal officials, and
says he is anxious to find means Of
putting stop to it. Special Examiner
Chalmers says there are a number of
Chinese brokers engaged in the busi-
ness. An amendment to the law is sug-
gested to remedy the evil.

A CITY OF MEN.

Some Interesting Facts About the
City of johannesburg, South Africa.
It may be a surprise to those who
have simply heard of johannesburg,
South Africa, in connection with the
Jameson raid or as the center of vast
Sold-mining region, to know that the
place, which, in 1852, contained only
few mud huts, is now a city coyerlngI
an area Of fifteen square miles and
having population of 100000 souls.
For years past steamships have been!
bringing to it about 1000 persons a.
week from Europe, Australia and
America, and in its buildings the city
has low a metropolitan air.
There are lots of idle white workmen
in the city, however. The mines OH the
Rand having to a great extent been
worked out, people thereby thrown out
of employment flocked into the city,
still further congesting the labor mar
ket. Numbers Of good artisans are
proWling over the veldt now, only too
glad of meal whenever they can oh
tain it, and uncertain where they shall
lay their wearied bones at night to rest.
wages are extremely low. bricklayers
and carpenters earning only $3.50 a
week. Masons are paid even less
$3.50; plasterers receive $3.50 and min
ers $3.50. Bookkeepers receive from
S75 to $96 month. The cost of living
is very high and the cheapest drink one
can buy costs - cents. Brady costs
25 cents a glass.
The craze for wealth is the one that
dominates Johannesburg. Everything
else is subsidiary to this AS Il result
there are few of those higher institu.
tlonS that cultivate the aesthetic taste.
There are no schools of art. no Iheatars
worthy of the name, no museums. no
art galleries. With the exception Of an
occasional lady driving out, shopping,
or some miserable native woman, 'the
female form divine" is rare sight. In
deed, Johannesburg might, with truth
fulness be rechristened the City of
Men.
Zymotic diseases are very prevalent.
Indeed. the death rate from them is ex-
cessively large. In London the 2ymotic
death rate is 1.6 per annum. That of
thirty-three Of the large cities OF the
world averages 10 per 1000 per an
mum, while that of johannesburg for
the month Of November corresponded
to an annual zymotic death rate OF 1911
per 1000
