K0REA'S CHINESE CREW

Washington. Aug. 29.--The Depart
ment OF Justice holds that the Chinese
crew on the Gaelic can he transferred
to the Korea without a violation OF any
State or Federal law.
This statement was made to The EN-
aminer correspondent on reliable au-
Ithority, although the formal decision
will not be given out by the Treasury
Department until tomorrow. II Is more
than probable that the Department OF
Justice has already informally inform
ed the Treasury Department that the
Chinese can be transferred.
The question was submitted to the
the Chinese on board the Gaelic ara
transferred to the Korea without land
ing on American soil, would such
transfer be a violation of the Chinese
Exclusion law?"
The legal position taken by the De-
partment of Justice is that the City OF
Picking would have clearely been en-
titled to bring here the Chinese con
tract" crew and take II back on the
return trip. The Korea is the property
of the same company and therefore II
is argued will be entitled TO carry Out
the contract with the Chinese crew
which was entered into by the City o.
Picking. The Department will holt
that similar transfers. although not OF
so large u scale. have taken place re
/ .n.iaIl,. In ha IFnftnI Gintng I IL
not known what citations will be mad
to prove this last allegation.
The decision of the Department o
Justice is by Assistant Attorney Gen
eral Hoyt. The matter was original!
referred to Assistant Attorney Genera
Beck. who left the city last night. Mr.
Hoyt has considered most OF the Chi
Eese exclusion cases before in his de
partment

NEW JERSEY MOTHERS CRUELTY
Because he broke ii pane of glass
by accident Valisof Sabrinski, aged
10, and crippled, was chained to the
floor of bare back room in his
wretched home in Perth Amboy, N.
j., for four days by his own mother
A passing policeman heard the little
fellows groans and rescued him.
When Chief Burke laid before Judge
Ward the case of the chained up boy
he was surprised by the fiat refusal
of the official to entertain a charge
against the boys parents or to take
any cognizance of the case. Judge
Ward said that as long as boy show
ed no marks of severe cruelty he
would hold that parents had the
right to punish the boy in any way
they pleased, and no one had a right
to interfere. The Judge even repri-
manded the policeman for assuming
to release the boy or go into the
house where he was confined.

$1,000 IN GOLD COIN ExcAvArED-

While men were eXcavating in the
Hennepin canal feeder, near Tampi-
co, H., they discovered a queer
looking box. The box, which was
very heavy, was taken from the
feeder and opened, and it was dis
covered to contain gold coin to the
