FLORENCE
Man Named Beatty Arrested for Coun-
terfeiting

Florence, Ala, May 9.-(Special.) -What
promises to be a case of considerable i'm
portance has just been unearthed by the
federal authorities of this district.
A man named Beatty, wits arrested in
Darlington on Friday of last week. by
Deputy Marshal Tompkins and was larged
in the Lauderdae county jail on a charge
of having counterfeit money in his poses-
sion. When arrested he had in his possess

ing up the other end of the gang. The
authorities are in possession of nforma-
ton in the shape Of correspondence, which
leads to the belief that they are on the
track of a big counterfeiting scheme, and
important arrests are looked for.
Beatty will have a preliminary hearing
before Commissioner Smith this afternoon,
If the attendance of tho witness from
Franklin county can be secured. His
scheme was to have the counterfeit money
sent to him at Darlington, and then go
away into Mississippi and pass it. The
coins are a fairly good imitation, though
at close scrutiny can be detected.
1t Is again rumored that the Philadel-
phia furnace property has been sold and
that the plant will be put in operation at
once.

for several days, came into court this aft
ernoon, and Judge Mcmahon said that the
charge against Molneaux has been con-
sidered and dismissed. Molineaux was at
once brought into court. When he arrived
before the bar, Judge Mcmahon asked: rs
there any further charge against the prs
oner?'
There is no existing charge" said As
sistant District Attorney Bumenthal.
Discharged" said the judge abruptly.
There was no trace of feeling on Mo-

chamber of Judge Jerome, where the war
rant was read.
If MolineauX is held on this charge tie
case will probably be submitted to another
grand jury.

CHINESE EXCLUSION ACT
Does Not Apply to Any of Our Insulal
Possessions

Washington, May 9.-Acting Secretary of
War Meiklejohn said today that the Chin
csc exclusion act did not apply to our in
sular possessions. Some three weeks ago
an order was issued extending the laws
and regulations governing immigration to
the United States to the territory under
military control, and collectors of customs
were directed to enforce them pending the
establishment of regular immigration sta
TONS BY some this order was interpreted
to mean the exclusion of Chinese from
Porto Rico, Cuba and the Philippines. This
is a mistake. Mr.. Meiklejohn says that
the order only extended the regular mill
tary laws, not the Chinese exclusion act
and that there was no intention for the
present in making the latter applicable to
our insular possessions.
