RESULT OF CARELEsSNEss
MANAGER MORGAN DEPLoREs
 AN UNLUCKY OVERSIGHT.
Assertion Made That Salicylic Acid Is Not So Injurious as Sup
 posed-Blackmai Sug- gested.

The seizure and condemnation by Mexi- can wine inspectors of nearly three dozen barrels of cheap California claret wine on account of its containing saltcylic acid has caused couSternation among the prominent wine makers of this State. They believe that the publication of the fact will work serious injury to the in dustry that win take long time to over come and which dealers in the foreign ar ticle will not be slow 10 take ad vantage of.
 These are the facts: Frederick Navarro, a commission merchant in the City of Mexico. ordered carload of high grade and young wines from II. J. Woollacott. who placed the order with Cosmo Morgan, the southern representative of the Cali fornia Wine Association. The latter sent to the home office in this city for the goods. which consisted of thirty-five bar rels of cheap wines and twenty-three bar res of high grade wines. a carload lot. The agents in the south diSclaimed any responsibility for the sending of wines charged with the acid complained of and asserted that if there was any blame it lay with those in the home office who sent the car to the City of Mexico.
 r. T. Morgan, manager of the California Wine Association in this city. was seen yesterday regarding the matter of respoH- SIbIlity. He was greatly disturbed and made no OeIelSe or what ndu been OOQt. On the contrary. he acknowledged that q great mistake had been made in sending away wines that had not been tested.
 We have been punished enough by what has taken place." said he, and the easiest way is to tell the truth about the affair It is one of the rules of the asso- CiatiOn to have our inspector make tests of every lot of wine that comes in from the country. In this case the precaution was not taken and the wine, after coming in from the country immediately was put on the car, with the other high grade wines, without the usual test being made l suppose that it is true that there was salicylic acid in the wine complained of for the Mexican inspectors said there was and as 1t was destroyed we did not re- Ceive a sample of il for d test. This wine was a cheap lot for a cheap trade. and hence the oversight. The use of this acid In wine is not for the purpose of adutera- ton, but for preservation. 1 suppose that the grower found that his wine was be- ginning to ferment and put the stuff into it to save it until il could be used. If we had made the discovery the complaint would never have been made for our rule Is to deal only in pure wines. We greatly fear that this expose will iniure the trade of the entire State and give the enemies of California wines the weapon that they are too ready to use to hurt our industry
 In discussing the use of the acid in new wines, Mir. Morgan did not attempt to

CHINESE PERJuRERs.
Judge de Haven Puts Up the Bars Against Hosts of Mongolian
 Raiders

United States District Judge de Haven rendered an opinion yesterday which will be gladly received by the friends of white labor. It was in the case of Jew Wong Loy, who sought to obtain admission to the United States on the ground that he was born in California United States Commissioner Heacock before whom the testimony was taken, refused to recom- mend the landing of the applicant because he did not believe the witnesses. Judge de Haven'S opinion upholds the recom- mendation of the Commissioner and adds:
 Congress has not enacted mat when person of Chinese descent claims to have been born in the United States he must establish such fact by testimony of witnesses other than Chinese. This omission cannot be supplied by the court, and therefore Chinese persons are com petent witnesses in cases of this char acter but their credibility Is for the court to determine, and in proceedings like this, where only this class of witnesses testify that a Chinese person applying for ad- mission was born in this city, unless the court is fully satisfied of the truth of such testimony it's finding should follow the presumption that a Chinese person con- ing from China and seeking to land in the United States is an alien and not native born citizen of this city,
