SUED IN LOS ANGELES.
Leading Commercial Bodies Attack Wells Farqo Com
 pany'S Stand.

LOS ANGELES. July 22-The unnatri- otic attitude of Wells, Fargo & Co.'s ex- press in refusing to attach one-cent rev. enue stamps to consignments offered it will be taken up in united action by the Board of Trade and Chamber of Com merce, backed by the Merchants and Manufacturers Association, which has already begun suit against the corpora tion. The plea of the corporation for not affixing stamps is that 1t has joined a and that it has no power to act inde- pendently.
 Frank P. Flint. United States Attorney, who brought the recent suit against the company at the request of the Merchants and Manufacturers Association, is quoted as saying:
 Since the law went into effect the members of the Merchants and Manufac- turers Association have offered Wells, Fargo & Co. 200 packages, of which they have kept record. In each case the company has refused to attach the stamp to the regular receipt. I have filed suit against the officers of the company for $50 penalty for each infraction of law, and will at the same time prosecute them criminally, the penalty for the latter be- ing fine of $500 to $1000 Imprisonment for six months, or both, in the discretion of the court.
 II consider the position of Wells, Fargo & Co., as being utterly indefensible. There doubtless be a large number of suits brought against the company, and it will not only be put to great expense, but will make itself unpopular throughout the country, losing a large amount of busi- ness thereby

apply for admission here he would be in duty bound to allow them to land.
 Assistant Secretary Howell's position is indorsed by a leading attorney of this city who has devoted his atten- .tion for years to handling Chinese cases, and Is thoroughly familiar with every phase of the exclusion laws. Speaking of Collector Jackson's opin- ion, as given In yesterdays Call, this attorney said:
 'In the first place. it has been con- ceded from time immemorial almost that every sovereign power has the right to regulate foreign immigration as it sees fit. It can say who shall and who shall not come into its terri tory, and can even go so far as to eX- clude such aliens as 1t chooses after they have entered it's borders. With this principle fully recognized by every civilized nation it only remains for the legislative power of country to adopt such restriction measures as 1t may deem necessary.
 'In the case of the Chinese In Ha- waii, they are subject to direct control by the National Congress, for like the other Territories, the islands are gov erned directly by Congress.
 "The Chinese there are all under con- tract and every contract contains clause that they shall De returned 10 China at the expiration of a stated period. They are not residents of the Hawaiian Islands; they have no domi- cile there in the strict meaning of the term; nor do they expect to remain there permanently Having entered those islands on such terms prior to their becoming United States territory the Chinese cannot claim the right to enter any other portion of the United States in violation of the existing ex- clusion laws passed by Congress and ratified by treaty with China.
 "One thing Is certain Congress has full power to pass any law regarding them it may think proper, even to ban ishing them from the islands, and l have no doubt that legislation will De enacted bearing on the Chinese in Ha- waii soon after Congress convenes. In the meantime, I know of nothing in the present laws that would give Collector Jackson authority to admit them to this port. If he thinks they are en- titled to land let him make a test case. It is an easy matter to bring up one Chinaman from the islands and the Collector can order his landing. The Chinaman could be arrested and the case taken into court. 1 am will ing to stake my reputation as prophet that the court would deport the China man in short order, for the law is ex- plicit that all Chinese must be provid ed with certificates of registration to entitle them to land"
