Atlanta Man Twice offered Treasury
Place Making $4,000 a Year.

Atlanta Man Twice offered Treasury
Place Making 100000 Year.
The officers of the Treasury Department
today had strange experience. few
months ago in making a selection from
one of the eligible registers of bookkeepers
at the civil service commission their at
tention was attracted by the most excel
lent papers of young man from Atlanta,
Ga, and they were so business-like and
presented such neat clerical appearance
he was selected and rendered a position at
$500 year. In due course of time the de-
partment received a communication stat
ing that at that time he was so
busily engaged that he very reluctantly
declined the position. A few months after
ward his name was again certified, and
he was again selected and rendered a po-
sition at the same salary. He again, in a
very courteous and business-like letter,
declined the position for business reasons
He appeared at the department today and
called on the proper officers and after
paying respects and thanking them for
their selection he stated that the reason
he did not take the position at the times
rendered was that he had a business posi-
tion that was now paying him $40 600
year. He stated that he was born in
Pennsylvania and drifted from there to
Wilmington. Del. where he entered the
1ecHnlcdl institute at tnat place and COM
pleted four years course. He obtained
the means for his college course by sell
ing newspapers in the mornings and after
moons before and after classes. After
finishing his course at the institute he
went to Atlanta. Ca, and engaged in his
present business. Being in a position to
enjoy rest from his hard labors he
stated that he was taking a vacation,
which included a trip to Halifax, Nova
Scotia. the Buffalo exposition and other
In hot
country. and being on his return home
and passing through Washington he called
at the department to express his thanks
for the twice-offered appointment, which.
under the circumstances, he thought he
very wisely declined

speak of this case as the most UNIQUE thai
ever came under their observation.

DEATH OF SENIOR VICUNA.
Ihe Minister of Chile ExDfred n,
BnffRln-

dispatch was received at the State De-
partment at noon today announcing the
death at Buffalo of Senor Don Carlos
Maria V1cuna, the minister Of Chile to the
united states, and one of the best known
and most capable of South American states
men, The notification came from Senior In
1anta, first secretary of the Chilean lega-
tlon, who has been with the minister at
Buffalo, and gave no details beyond the
simple announcement that Senor vicuna
mad passed away. He has been ill for some
time with pneumonia, and after throwing
on the first attack suffered a relapse, from
which he was unable to rally Owing to
his being the diplomatic representative of
Cnne 10 the United States the government
Will snow every consideration of respect
and honor to the deceased Besides being
minister from Chile he was commissioner
to the Pan-American exposition. and lately
commission.
Senor Vicuna came to WASHINGTON about
three years ago, succeeding Minister Cana.
who was transferred to London The VI
cunas nave been prominent in South Amer
lean affairs, and the minister soon endeared
himself to the officials and diplomatists in
Washington by his charming personality
and ability. He was accompanied nv his
wife and family. who have been an inter-
esting acquisition to the diplomatic circle.
OF late the legation in Washineton has
been closed. the minister and family and
the entire official establishment being re-
moved to Buffalo, where Chile had taken
the lead OF South American republics In the
magnitude of its exhibit.
AS yet no word has been received az to
the details OF funeral arrangements. Owing
to the distinguished position of Senior VI
cuna In Chile that country will undoubt edly
desire to have his remains returned for IN
terment on Chilean soil. Whether the re-
mains Will be brought to Washington is vet
to be determined Soon after the recent
OF the dispatch announcing the minister's
death Secretary Hay sent a message Of
coincidence to the bereaved relatives and
friends.
Contracted Death Illness ON Trim,
Minister Vicuna went to Buffalo from
Washington July 18 to attend the cere-
monies incident upon the formal opening of
the Chilean building at the Pan-Amer1can
exposition He took to bed the day after
his arrival the result of cold contracted
on the journey. This developed into pneu-
monia, which had since become further
complicated. Senior Vicuna was believed,
however, to be improving, but during last
night suffered relapse, from which he did
not rally.

IMMIGRATION OF JAPANESE
IF OF DESIRABLE CHARACTER 1T
WILL BE WELCOME.
Contract LabOrers Will Not, However
BE Admitted to the States
or Hawaii.

Kogoro Takahira the Japanese minister,
called at the Treasury Department today
and had a talk with Mr.. Taylor, the as
sistant secretary, regarding several mat
ters in which the Japanese are interested.
One of these was the question of Japa-
nese immigration to Honolulu. Some time
ago when there was great. hue and cry
on the Pacific coast about the heavy immi-
grafton of japanese to this country. the
government of Japan issued an edict for
bidding immigration to the United States.
The consequence was that there have been
comparatively few arrivals from Japan.
Efforts were made IN Hawaii to have the
japanese government change its edict SO
that japanese could go to Hawaii to work
In the sugar plantations.
No Contract Labor Permissible.
Mr.. Takahira today asked Mr.. Taylor II
Japanese going to Honolulu would be re-
fused admission, saying that his govern
ment had been considering the matter of
amending it's edict SO to let some of its
citizens come to this country and Homo
lulu. Mr.. Taylor informed the minister
that If the japanese went to Honolulu un-
der any kind Of a contract either verbal
or written. they would be detained and de-
ported. but If they sought admission in
the ordinary way they could not be de-
tained if they were desirable people
Sugar Planters Want Japs.
1t is understood that in the near future
number of small parties Of Japanese
will go to Honolulu, where it Is probable
that they will be Immediately employed by
sugar planters, who are eagerly seeking
labor of this kind. The sugar planters are
now taking Porto Ricans to the islands.
but would much prefer the japanese, who
clean.
Mr.. Takahira also conferred with Mr..
Iaylor as to an official of an important
Japanese bank, who is detained at Homo
luiu. Ihis official was on his way to this
country to inspect some of the branches
OF the bank. but was held at Honolulu.
