COMMISSIONER NORTH
DISMISSES NINE MEN
AGREES TO DISCHARGE OF JAPs
INDICTED FOR BRIBERY.
Doubtful Whether the Men Could Be
Convicted, as They Had an
Ingenious Defense.

J. Tart and Y. Nishioka, japanese immi-
grants pleaded guilty in the United
States District Court yesterday Of having
paid money to Deputy Immigration Com
missioner Geffeney for the purpose of in
f1uencing his decision as to their right to
land.
Tart and Nishioka were indicted with
nine others by the Federal Grand Jury for
the offense named. On the immigrants
being lined up by the Commissioner in
the cabin, Tart and Nishioka walked up
to the table at which Geffeney was sit
ting and each slipped a s. gold piece into
his hand under the table The nine fol-
lowed their example, but placed the s.
coins, on top of the table The two lead
ers, however, informed Geffeney that
there would be more money coming after
they were landed.
At the request of United States Attor-
ney Foote, represented. by Assistant
United States Attorney Banning, a noiIe
prosequi was yesterday entered in the
case Of the nine remaining prisoners. The
defendants engaged Bert Schlesinger to
defend them, and the ingenious defense
was set up that they had been informed
at Kobe by the agent of the steamship
company that they would be required to
Commissioner before he would allow them
to land. Under this plea and the fact that
the men paid the money to Geffeney in an
open manner, and that they were entitled
to land, it was argued that a conviction
could not be had.
Mr.. Banning, in pursuance of a rule of
his office, consulted immigration Com
missioner North as to the course to be
Gefeney, informed Mr.. Banning that the
suggested dismissal Of the cases would
be satisfactory to him. Upon this assur-
ance, Mr. Banning went into court and
procured the dismissal of the cases
The two defendants who pleaded guilty
will be sentenced on Saturday.

GENESIS OF THE CHICAGO CLUB.
HistOrian Stirs Up Hornets Nest
in Relating Early Facts.

Chicago. Jan. 12.-The Chicago Cub,
the home of the millionaire, the rendez-
vous OF the brains of. the city is in an
uproar over history of the club just
published by resolution OF the board of
directors. The book Will be suppressed.
L. T. Blair is the author, and a more
frank and ingenious history" it would
be hard TO discover.
The Chicago Club may be said to have
grown out of the old Dearborn Club he
says "a congregation of cong NAL spirits
who began to meet toward the close of
the war in rooms on State Street oppo-
site the spot where the Palmer House
now stands, 10 pass the time of day, sam
pie wet goods or play an occasioaa! game
OF draw
The early status of the club is describ-
ed as follows:
Although the club was a success from
the beginning and nearly doubled its
membership in its first year, it was not
much frequented except on Saturday
nights. when a free lunch was spread TO
attract attendance. There seemed still TO
be some doubt in the community as to its
character.
Some of US, he says. may remember
being amused back in the eighties by see
ing a quiet little old man bring his daily
lunch to the club in piece of paper. This
was Stephen f. Gale, well known among
the old settlers as the chief OF the Nolun-
teer Fire Department of early Chicago"
In speaking of Gen. Phil Sheridan he
says:
He was a frequent visitor to the club
affable TO all and as unassuming as the
humblest.
His appearance was in striking con-
trast to his manner; short, thick body
and neck, a massive bullet-shaped head
close cropped hair, complexion crimsoned
by exposure and high living (the past
phrase is the offending memberl. heavy
jaw. high cheek bones, narrow, eagle eyes
and features of stern and predatory caste
like those of an Indian
Members wonder what he means ''preda-
tory
The millionaire element of the round
table consisted of Marshall Field, George
NJ. Pullman, John Crerar, n. X Fairbank
and T. B. Blackstone"
Mr.. Fairbank was fond of society and
! cards and d nightly speculator."
Referring to the late seventies, Mr..
| Blair says, regretfully:
In those days, number of the young
| er members who were of socable habits
lived in the club They were fuller blood
| ed and more riotous livers than their sue
| cessorS.
The genus is now almost extinct. A
crowd OF them were il the habit of com
| ing from the board of trade in an omni-
| bus, rushing into the hall of the cub
| house at noon. and finishing their trades
| while they ordered lunch. At night tn ir
| favorite rendezvous was the billiard room.
! which was then in the basement, adjoin-
| ing the bar. Here they held nightly me, t
| ings appointing a chairman. whose duty
it was to see that hospitality was equita-
biV distributed and sergeant ia at-ar

one occasion an offender was dropped out

ing that American lumbermen were as

Canadians want lumber admitted free, or
if they cannot get that, the duty reduced
TO 81 and il was then that John Charlie

book at her in the dining-roOm where they
boarded, the book striking her in the face
and greatly disfguring her.
