ANTI-ANARCHY RILL.

Mr.. Ray Is Drastic-Chinese Have
Friends.
WASHINGTON. Dec 1S.-Chairman
Ray, of the house committee on judi
ciary, introduced an anti-anarchy meas
ure, which probably will be the basis
of legislation on that subject i'm the
house. The measure is very elaborate,
and brings together features of the many
propositions made for dealing with The
subject. 1t provides the death penalty
for assaults on the president or other
executive officers. It is made a felony
to advise or teach the overthrow Of the
government or any interference with
government offices. The death penalty
also is provided for conspiracies in this
country leading to the killing of for
eign king, emperor, president or other
ruler.
The house committee on foreign affairs
had an informal hearing today on the
subject of Chinese exclusion, the members
of the Asiatic association being heard in
a plea for fair play for Chinese mer-
chants, while Representative Kahn, who
represents the San Francisco district in
Guiding Chinatown, and Herman Gud-
stadt, representing the American Fedora
ton of Labor, spoke for rigid exclusion.
The members of the ASiatic association,
who spoke for more favorable trea tnlent
of Chinese merchants, maintained that
at a time when the United States was
seeking trade opportunities in China
there should be no harsh legislation
against the Chinese, particularly Chi
nese merchants.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1S.-Capt Diaz Mo

MAY LOOK UP MIR. DIcKEY.
Deputy Examiner Likely to Look Up
Clerk of Courts Accounts.

It is likely that Deputy Exami Ter
Koerner, when the hearing III the shirley
atty case IS completed, will turn his At
tention to the office of clerk of the courts
with a view to finding whether Mr..
Dickey has been guilty of malfeasancc
in office, in not collecting fees from title
for partial copies of judgments given by
him from his office.
1t is asserted that the law requires the
clerk to charge a fee of so much :,.r
folio or partial copies of papers in his
office. This fee amounts to about 70
cents for each judgment which has bean
given to the companies.
There are four companies which ave
been securing these copies, which would
make the amount due the county for
each judgment 81. The average number
of judgments filed daily for past twelve
or 81 800 per year, is said to be due the
county from this source for copies gwen
out during the past twelve years.
