RICE WAS LAX
 IN VICTORIA Admitted Sixty Japanese Believed to Be Con-
 tract LabOrers.
Dumped Into California From British Columbia With
 Certificates.
They Told the Same Gauzy Tales as Did Those Refused a Landing
 by Commissioner North

Commissioner of Immigration North has completed his examination of the sixty Japanse IaboreTs who arrived by the steamer. Puebla from Victoria and found that each of them held a certif1- cate from the United States Immigra- tion Commissioner at Victoria entitling them to land. This left Commissioner North and the special board of inquiry nothing to do, the certificates being regular and the Japanese having been admitted to land even before they ar rived at this port.
 The new immigrants were Of worse character han the batch of thirty three who were refused a landing the other day by the Commissioner and who are now uuartered on the Belgic, pending their appeal to the Secretary of the Treasury. They said that they also were farmers md that they in tended to study agriculture in CaIlfof- mia by walking from farm to farm ana watching the wheat wilt under the dry north wind and fruit blossoms freeze on the trees. They bear all the ear marks of contract laborers.
 Under this new and unexpected phase of affairs Commissioner North wired Commissioned General Powderly for advice, and yesterday received a dispatch reading as follows:
 
 retsrv of the Treasury and Canadian trahsportation companies aliens holding certificates of admission from the United States Commissioner in Canada are sub feet only to medical examination at port of entry in the United States.
 T. V. POWDERLY, Commissioner-Ge General of Immigration
 This matter" said Commissioner North yesterday, may develop dis cussion between the transportation companies. If we keep shutting out this class of Japanese laborers at Sar Francisco and if the Commissioner al Victoria keeps letting them in, the transportation companies whose lines terminate at San Francisco will kick In order to avoid this friction and not to injure the trade of San Francisco while at the same time performing my official duties cOnscieutiously, l have invited United States Commissions Rice of Victoria to a conference with me, in order that we may agree upor a uniform system or standard of exam ming and dealing with alien immi- grants suspected of coming here on la Dor contracts. He has accepted the invitation, and we have hope that the matter may be adjusted satisfactorily to the interests of this port, as well as of the Government.

Governor Markham.
 During the session of 1895 he was ln- strumental in securing the passage of a bill making an appropriation of $200,- 900 to the Affiliated Colleges.
 When the coyote scalp bounty ques- tion matter was agitating the Boards of Supervisors of the different counties of the State he drafted and introduced a bill to repal that notorious act and was successful in carrying the meas ure.
 He was a strong advocate of the measure granting terminal facilities to the San Francisco and San Joaquin Valley Railroad, aiding materially in the passage of the bill.
 In 1896 he received the Non-Partisan nomination for Supervisor, but met de- feat at the polls.
 When, by an order of Judge Wallace, the Board of Supervisors were busted from office for failing to fix water rate, Governor Budd appointed him to fill one of the vacant places

 Shortly after o'clock yesterday af- ternoon Mrs. Schof1eld recognized the Trueworthy girl on Fourth street, and she started to speak to her. Evidently thinking that she had intended to have her arrested the erring girl ran up Mission street and darted into St. Pat rick's Church, where she tried to con- ceaI herself Detectives Sullivan and Graham happened to be in the vicinity, and seeing the girl running, they fol- lowed her into the church. She was at once taken to police headquarters and closely questioned. She at first de- nied her guilt. but finally broke down and made a confession. A portion of the iewelry which she had stolen was found in her possession.
 To the detectives the girl admitted that a short time ago she entered a room in the Hotel St. Nicholas aud stole several pieces Of JeWelry. Her scheme was to visit hotel and after entering the parlor she would appal- entity dmuS6 UeTSell Dy lHc piano. AS one of the women guests left her room the girl, with the aid of a skeleton key. would at once enter the apartments and make a thorough search for jewelry and other valuables. After satisfying herself that she had not overlooked anything she would then leave the hotel as mysteriously as she entered.
 Last night the detectives recovered several pieces of jewelry which the girl had stolen. They were found in a pawnshop on Third street, where she had sold them.
 Edna is not unknown to the police. Some time ago she was arrested for stealing some jewelry, but on account of her tender age it was decided to send her to the reform school.
 After few weeks incarceration she escaped with several other girls by climbing over high fence which sur rounded the institution. To-day the detectives intend to place several charges of burglary against her.

 the Police. Claims That the Girl Vol untarily Came to Her
 Room. Frequently Left the Place to Meet Certain Race Track TOutS.

Ran Awav From Home Intending to Go to Alaska, the Land
 of Gold.

Mrs. Cav Thomas, the woman whom Irene Lynch accuses of having held her a prisoner in a room in the Glenbrook House, was arrested yesterday after noon by Detective Anthony and taken to police headouarters. To Chief Lees she said that she fir: met Irene about a week before tke latter disappeared Subsequently, she frequently met Miss Lynch at the race track.
 Irene told her that she was dissatis fled with her home life and had deter mined to run away. She begged Mrs. Thomas to allow her to live with her until she could better her condition. Mrs. Thomas, after considerable per SuaSiOn, consented to tdhe lHe clti1S girl to her rooms.
 The day after Irene disappeared, as the story runs, she telephoned to Mrs. Thomas that she was on her way 10 the rooms of the latter. NotWltnStand- ing the positive denial of the girl that Mrs. Thomas held her a prisoner the woman told Chief Lees that Irene ire ouently left the room to visit various male acuuaintances. She would return in few hours, and, according to Mrs. Thomas, she gave evidence of having drunk to excess. The girl, she said, was in the habit of sending notes to race track tOuts and 1ockeys, asking them to call When told that her pa rents were making strenuous efforts to locate her she merely smiled and said that she would never return home. It was her intention, so Mrs. Thomas states, to go to Skaguay or some other Alaskan point, where she intended to seek employment Mrs. Thomas was accompanied by the mysterious Jack. !" who Irene claims had assisted Mrs. Thomas in abducting her.

MYERS ARRESTED
 FOR PERJURY
Was Arraigned Before Judge Campbell and Will Be
 Tried on Monday.
Notary Henry May Also Get Into Trouble on Charge Of
 Felony.

Judge Hunt yesterday adjudged Der nard F. Myers guilty of perjury and or dered him into the custody of the Sheriff. The perjury that Myers must account for was committed in the divorce suit of Dies vs. Dies. While action was pending in this case it seemed that the attorney for the plaintiff served a summons upon the defendant to appear in court and show reason why he should not pay the ali mony that was demanded. The defend ant did not appear and a bench warrant was issued for him.
 He denied that he had ever received the summons, and in the investigation of the matter it was shown that Attorney Howe got Myers to appear before Notary A J. Henry and swear that he had served the summons upon the defendant, which he had never done.
 In the order of commitment Myers was taken before Judge Campbell and ar raigned and the case continued until Monday. Howe is a diSbarred attorney and it now appears that he got Myers to sign his name to a paper, the contents of which the latter says he did not know, and then Howe took the paper to Henry and got him to affiX his seal to it. This is a felony and Henry may get into trou- blea for affiXing his seal to a document without the affiant being present to be sworn.
