WAH TU.
The Leperous Chinaman Still 0ccu'
pies UnmoIested Furniture Car.
HIS CASE TO DATE.

Wah Tu, the, leperous Chinaman
who was shipped to this city by some
one south of here, still occupies the
furniture car, No. 7479, and no one
seems inclined to disturb him. Like
the lion, he is master of the situation,
and looking out from his sleepy, wa
terry eyes he seems to dare any one to
touch him.
AS stated in The Citizen yesterday
afternoon, United States Attorney
Chiders was looking up the law in the
case, and he has telegraphed to the at
torney general at Washington, ID. c.,
for his opinion in the matter. UP to
o'clock this afternoon no answer had
been received from the attorney gen.
eral, and it is certainty that Wah Tu
will continue to occupy that particular
furniture car until the attorney gen.
eral decides who is responsible for his
appearance here and who will have
charge of his case for further disposi-
ton.
At the United States marshal's office
this morning, Chief Deputy Mckee
han stated that Chinese Inspector
Meehan, who was expected today, fail
ed to arrive from Ell Paso, but that the
inspector had also wired the attorney
general at Washington certain facts in
the case. Mr.. Meehan will notify the
marshal's Office when the attorney
general is heard from. The inspector
is expected here tomorrow morning.
Yesterday afternoon, Ben Williams,
special officer in the secret service OF
the Santa Fe railway, swore to com
plant that Wah Tu was unlawfully in
United States, so the case could come
under the attention of the United
States marshal, but the complaint has
not as yet been approved by United
! States Attorney Childers and will not
! be until advices are received from the
attorney general.
There is no clash between the rail
way company and the United States
marshal's Office" said Chief Deputy
| McKeehan, "but there is one thing GER
! tain under the new Chinese exclusion
/ law Ben Williams or anyone else not
! connected with the United States mar
shals office or in Chinese service has
/ the right to swear to a like complaint.
/ This office, in this particular case,
where the expense will be heavy to
1 take care of the leper, cannot act with
out authority from the attorney gen
eral."
What is the leper's right name?"
/ queried the reporter.
Il have placed the name on our
books as The Citizen has it-Wah Tu,'
answered Mr. McKeehan, but like all
/ the smusgled Chinese he may have
a dozen aliases. FOrnoff and Leather
man have more to do with the Chinese
department of the office than do, and
they say that the fellow is rightfully
named-Wah Tu."
The switchmen are supplying the
poor fellow with food and water, and
he seems to be doing as well as could
be expected under the circumstances.

Legal Guardian of Children.

"It will re observed that by the or
gauic act the Board of Childrens Guar-
dams is constituted the legal guardian
OF all the children committed to 1t by
the courts. with full power to board
them in private families. and in ins.i-
tutions willing to receive them, and by
the above cited act of March 3, 1901, the
judges may commit to the board child
rcr under seventeen years of age, con-
victed OF petty crimes. to be cared for
by the board in n like manner.
MY first impression was. concludes
Mr. Duvall. that the Board of Child
ren's Guardians stood in loco PARENTS,
and had the legal right to commit its
wards to the reform schools; but the
difficulty lies in the fact that the wards
have been committed to the board by
ar order of the court, namely, by a NJ
dicial commitment; the court had au-
thority TO pass an order % commit
either to the Reform School o. to the
Board OF Children's Guardians, and Il
exercised its authority in the premise
by committing to the board for the pur-
poses specified in its organic act.
