Syracuse, N, Y, April S.-A repre-
sentative of the Herald has returned
from Quebec, where he saw John F.
Gavnor and B. F. Greene, who are
wanted at Savannah for trial in the
United States Court on charges of
defrauding the government in con-
tract work in that harbor.
In an interview Gaynor said they
knew before they went to Canada that
they could not be extradited under the
present indictments, otherwise they
would not have gone there. Should
they be extradited on new indictments,
he added, they must be tried on those
indictments. and in his opinion con-
viction could not be secured upon them.
Informed that Chief Will1ie disclaim-
ed any effort to bring the fugitives
back. and that the matter rested with
the department of justice, Gaynor
said:
That doesn't look as If they were

SENATOR cULLoM PROTESTS.
United States Cannot AFFORD to Ig-
more Treaty. Obligations with
China.

China.
Washington, April S.-A vigorous
protest was made in the Senate to-day
by Mr.. Cullom of Illinois. against the
passage of the Chinese exclusion bill
in its present form. Coming from the
chairman of the Committee on Foreign
Relations, the protest created q pro-
found impression upon the Senate. Mr..
Cullom while expressing himself as
tn favor of the exclusiont of Chinese
laborers, believed that many of the
provisions of the pending measure
were in contravention of our treaty
obligations with China. He urged that
the United States could not afford to
ignore its solemn treaties, although he
conceded the authority offCongress to
enact the proposed law If Il saw Mt to
do so. AA.Ms
Mr.. Cullom said In part:
"Our trade with China IL worthy of
considerations in dealing With this sub
ject. Under present conditions 1t is as
sure to come to the. United States as
F'the sun shines upon us. if we do not
close the doors ourselves. The Ha-
-waiian Territory, over 1000 miles from
California shores, in the direction of
Japan and China in the Pacific ocean,
is, in the fullest sense, a part of the
United States. The great archipelago,
liiC nllAPP1AlC 1SldnuS6' OVER WHICH the
sovereignty of the United States is
proclaimed, is still beyond and COM
paratively new to China. So we have
opened the way by establishing our
outposts upon the sea to make II easy
for the United States to control the
commerce of that country.
Could Continue Present Lnw
"My belief is we ought not to pass
any laws in disregard of the spirit or
letter of our treaties; that we can con-
tinue the present laws until the treaty
of 1894 shall expire, If notice shall be
given that this government does not
desire it to be continued another ten
years, and in the meantime a new
eaty can be agreed to, which will
abrogate any possible treaty stipula-
lions against the absolute exclusion of
Chinese laborers, and which will per-
nit us to enact such legislation as we
may deem necessary for the protection
of our country from the influx of these
Chinese laborers into the United
States. If China should decline to en-
ter into a new treaty of this character
we might then be justified in going
ahead and passing any law on the sub
ject of Chinese immigration we
choose
Mr.. Patterson of Colorado and Mr.
Perkins of California. presented argu-
ments in support of the pending bill.
Both maintained. that in no way did it
contravene existing treaties, as by the
convention of 1894, China had agreed
that Chinese laborers should be ex-
cluded from this country. The bill was
drastic in its provisions, they admitted.
but no more so than was necessary to
eliminate the possibility of fraud.

Of the United States VS.. John w.
Starke of this city. charged with send
ing an indecent letter to tae Presi-
dent Of the United States, was called
to-day. in the United States District
Court here
District Attorney Allan said to the
court that the President and his adj
visers desired that the matter should
not be pushed further and in connec-
tion with the case, read the following
letter:
Richmond. Va. April 8, 1907. TO
Hon. Edgar Allan, United States At
torney, Virginia: Dear Sir-I regret
very much any part that 1 took in the
letter that was sent to the President.
and hope that the authorities will be
as lenient as possible with me. Yours
respectfully John w. Starke''
The judge informed the grand Jury
that 1t was a fact that the authorities
obviously desired an ending of the
matter, and that the court believed
this was the best thing to do. He,
however. informed the grand Jury that
It still had the right and power to
investigate the matter further, If it
desired to do so, whereupon the grand
jury retired to its room, and after re-
naming a short time, returned to the
court room and, through the foreman.
said that it had no further business be-
fore 1t.
This was practically a report to the
effect that the jury did not desire to
make any further investigation of the
matter. Starke was then called to
the bar of the court, and after a few
kindly words of admonition by the
judge to the effect that he should be
more careful in the future, he was
formally discharged
