NEW EXCLUSION
ACT PROPOSED
United States Attorney
Woodwork Makes
Amendments.

United States District Attorney Mar
shall B. Woodworth has forwarded to
each member Of the California delegation
TO Congress a copy of his suggestions re-
specting the re-enactment of a Chinese
restriction act. These suggestions are
embodied in bin prepared by him.
Section provides that all present laws
on the subject be continued in force for
ten years after May 5, 1902, with certain
necessary amendments.
Section 2 provides for the registration
OF all Chinese laborers lawfully in the
United States at the time Of the passage
Of the proposed act. AS amended, the
section empowers United States Commits
sioners as well as united States Judges
70 try and deport Chinese found unlaw-
fully in the country. ANY registered
Chinaman hereafter convicted Of felony
shall be deported from the United States
Section provides that any person aid
ing or abetting the landing or attempted
landing unlawfully Of any Chinese person
shall be punished by five years imprison-
ment or a fine Of $1,000, or both.
Section includes fishermen. laundry
men, miners, hucksters, peddlers, FISH
dryers, gamblers and lewd women as la
borers.
An appeal. by the United States Attor-
ney from the judgment of acQuittal by a
Judge or Commissioner is also allowed.
Slave owning, whether the slave be Of
native or foreign birth, is also defined as
g crime.
The object Of this amendment is that il
shall apply to those holding to involun-
tary service native-born citizens of the
United States. There is no general law
against slavery in the revised statutes
other than that applying to negroes and
mulattoes.
The present law simply applies to per-
sons OF foreign birth. By amending the
act as herein suggested, much of the evil
that now exists in the Chinese quarters
IN holding to involuntary servitude Chi
nese girls born within the United States
would be done away with by prosecu-
tions, which, under the law as it stands
at present, cannot be done.

Isham Reavis. administrator of the
estate Of Inez Oppenheimer, has petit
toned the Superior Court to confirm the

curities. The bonds were the property of
Ruth Oppenheimer, daughter of the late
1nez Oppenheimer, who lives in Nebraska

ardson County in that State when he
heard that the sale of the bonds had been
ordered wrote to the Superior Court of
this county giving it as his opinion that
as the owner Of the bonds was only &
years of age Government securities were
a good investment.
