CHlNAMEN'S DAY.
DISCONTINUED HEARINGS BEGUN
BEFORE COMMISSIONER
Eight Of the Is Cases Nsard Tussrday
But Only Two Co m plstsd-Boys and
Their "Fathers" Very Much
In Evidence.

The hearings in the cases of something
over Is Cinnamon, who have been await
ing an opportunity to prove their right
to admission into the United states under
one provision or another of the immigra-
ton laws, opened Tuesday morning in
the customs house before United States
Commissioner George f.. Johnson. Signs
of the hearings became evident on the
evening previous when fccks of men with
almond eyes and pigtails gathered at the
several laundries In this city where they
are wont to stop during the progress of
the hearings and the names Of inspectors,
attorneys and interpreters appeared upon
the hotel registers. The hearing now in
progress is marked with list which ex-
ceeds in numbers any ever held in the
United States. Eight cases were heard at
Tuesdays session and OF these two were
discharged, two continued until February
2Sth and the remainder held open until
Wednesday. The hearings are expected
to occupy the remainder of the week.
There were indications at Tuesday
hearing of trouble for some of the China
men connected with the operations in pro-
gress. An unusual feature was the pre-
sence of Ralph lizard, i Chinese inspector
from Washington, and j. b. Whittemore,
an inspector in the city of Boston. These
gentlemen were present at the hearings
and assisted District Attorney j. l.. Mar
IN III sumo INSTANCES. MI. lZaTu mas
been working upon Chinese matters in
this section of the United States for some
months and was connected with the in
vestigation in the district of Northern
New York recently as a result of which
two inspectors were removed and some
other commotion caused. 1t is not unlike
ly that 1t is the intention of the govern
ment to make some prosecutions in con-
nection with the witnesses, who profess to
be fathers of the boys" Who gained
admission on the ground of having been
born in the United States and then hav-
ing returned to China.
The conduct of Tuesdays hearing was
along the line of those previously held
and reported. Most of the boys" desir-
ing admttance were accompanied by ia
theirs" who provided the missing links
in their identity. The attorney represent
ing the boys" opens a case by stepping
TO the door of Mr.. Johnsons office and
beckoning to his man or men as the case
may be. Usually three enter. one fath..r
answering for two boys. The father
places himself in the centre of a row of
three chairs and the direct examination
is opened. the names given being com
pared with those upon the warrants. AT
ter a few general questions tine witness
passes to the hands of the prosecuting
attorney and wins or loses the case. The
questions and answers are interpreted by
the official present for that purpose.

UNIVERSITY NOTES,


Base ball practice has begun in earnest
and every day a large squad works out
in the cage Captain Aldinger is watch
ing the men very closely for sore arms or
any injury that may prevent any OF them
from playing He is especially careful OF
the pitchers and consequently only light
work has been done by them as yet.
Bone, '01. however is proving a surprise
thus early, having improved greatly in
form and control since last year. 1t is
possible that he may make some of the
old Varsity men hustle to keep on the
team The other candidates cannot be
sized up yet as the work is largely rou-
tine, batting and picking up grounders.
The cage has been put in good shape and
Il sliding board is almost ready for use.
This is a new feature here, and Should
help the base-running on the first trip
materially. 1t is simple in construction,
consisting of planks fastened together
and covered with carpet. 1t is about 16
feet long by five feet wide. From any
point of view the prospects are bright
for turning out an excellent nine, com
posed for the most part of men who have
had experience in their positions.
Dunlop, SO, who has been i'll at his home
in Poultney, returned to college yester-
