"FIRST PAPER ALIENS
NOT DEEMED CITIZENS
Member of Marine Firemen's Union
Debarred From Landing Because
Of Contagious Disease.

Jose Campos, a member of the Pacific
Coast Marine Firemen's Union, has
been denied a landing by the Federal
immigration officers, on the ground
that although he left this State only a
short time ago and is now returning,
he is an alien afflicted with conta-
gious disease, and as such is not enti-
tied to be landed.
Campos is a native of Portugal. and
in March, 1903, took out his first papers
OF declaration of intention to become
an American citizen. He had been
working as fireman on American yes
sells for the last five years. He took
a voyage to Mexico on the steamer Gu
racao recently fof the benefit of his
health, and returned on the same YES
sci. The immigration officials caused
him to be examined by the United
States Marine Hospital surgeon. who
reported that he was suffering from
tubercle of the lungs, contagious dis
ease. The Immigrant Bureau holds
that the taking out of first papers"
does not make an alien citizen for
the purpose of immigration.
The secretary of the union has ap-
pealed to. Secretary Cortelyou on be-
half of Campos.

gram from Secretary Cortelyou yester-

His brother will remain with him as

FARMERS MUST
PAY ORAYAGE
Growers to Pay Cartag Q
Charge if Goods
Are Moved.
Commission Men Retain Law
yer and Will Meet to De-
eide on Course.

There was a rumor around yester-
day that the commission men would
all turn in their permits to sell per-
ishabie goods on the State wharves
to the Harbor Board and continue
their business at their stores. 1t was
stated that the commission merchants
would merely raise the price OF the
perishable products handled by them
in order TO defray the cost Of carriage
from the wharves.
This rumor was met with a general
denial from the commission mer-
chants and their attorney, J. B. Rein
stein. No plans have been formed as
yet and nothing will be done in the
matter for two days, when the COM
mission merchants of the city will
hold a large meeting and determine
on the course they shall pursue.
The majority Of the commission
men seem to be little bothered by the
Harbor Boards action. They say
that in case they are compelled to
cart their goods from the wharves be-
fore they can sell them the farmers
will be compelled to pay the carriage
and mercantile profits will remain
the same. The raisers of the fruit and
vegetables viii then be the actual suf-
ferers.
Notifications were sent out yester-
day to all four Of the houses that had
their permits revoked and the Chief
Wharfnger of the Harbor Commits
sion was instructed TO see that these
merchants do no more business on
State property.

Something akin to q cloud of conster-
nation began to settle on-the legal lu-
rninaries yesterday in Judge ConIan's
court when his Honor started in to pass
sentence upon the array of offenders
who had been convicted of various Of
fenses before him. The unusual heavi-
ness of the doses of Imprisonment ad-
rninistered caused the attorneys with
cases pending to view the proceedings
with alarm, and the unanimity with
which they called for continuances was
significant.
1t was a sort of-six-months series that
his Honor Conlan dealt out Thomas

the three convictions against him, and

Edward Cunningham, a Big strapping
Iongshoreman, allowed his temper to
override his discretion while a witness
was testifying against him before Judge
Mogan, with the result that a charge
of contempt of court was added to the
accusation of malicious mischief, on
which he had been arrested.
NJ. j. McVey, who manages a saloon
on East street, was telling the court Of
how Cunningham had started to wreck
his wet-goods emporium, when the mar
rative was interrupted by the defend
ant shouting: You're double -b1anked
liar" The rebuke of the scoffer was
prompt
ssYou evidently think you're still bull
living a barroom,' quietly said the
Judge to the choleric prisoner, "and it
shall be my pleasure to convince you
that you are mistaken

drawn and duly filed against the iras-
chile Mr.. Cunningham, and some time

Imprisonment he provoked by his

MERCHANTS GOT NO TRIAL.

Attorney ]. B. Reinstein said that he
had merely been engaged, and that the
commission men had not determined
just what course they would pursue in
regard 70 the revoking Of their licenses.
They will come together in a few days
and the opinions of the majority viii
be taken and the action based on their
decision as to the best way out Of the
trouble.
The commission men feel that they
have not had a hearing, for no charges
we're preferred against them. As we
attorneys take the law, man cannot
be tried or given a hearing until
charges are preferred against him.
That affidavit which the commission
took as formal charges against the
commission men was not fled until
after the testimony of the witnesses
was taken. The Commissioners did not
ask Graves II he wanted to let his af-
fidavlt stand as charges against the
commission men. until the commission
men had testified. So there were really
no charges against them. In Graves
affidavit the names of none of the COM
mission firms but Scatena & Co. were
mentioned, so that even though it had
been filed in time the board would not
have charges against the commission
men as a whole. At the hearing all
who testified said they had never
formed any conspiracy, agreement or
understanding to sell goods at a high
rate on the State wharves. Outside Of
the State property the Commissioners
have no power.

SAYS TIME HAD COME.

Charles Spear, president of the
board, yesterday said: The board
thought that it was Just as well to
bring this matter TO a head at this
time. Notices were issued.
The Commissioners do not want to
be brash in this matter and twenty
four hours will be allowed the mer-
chants TO remove their goods.
4 understand that they have re-
tanned an attorney and Will attempt
by law to find out the powers of the
board. Last summer, when the law
went into effect, many of the commits
sion men doubted whether they would
take out the permits. But after con-
sideration they concluded that they
should do so. They knew the obliga-
tons attached to the granting of
permit and have suffered the result
OF breaking them
George E. Wolf Of the firm Of Wolf &
Sons Of 321 Davis street in speaking of
the boards action said: My brother
was the one who attended the meeting
Of the commission Thursday, and he
has left town for a few days When he
returns the commission men will in
all probability get together and lay
their case before the people. We have
been pictured as a lot of blackguards.
The revokfng of this firms permit viii
not affect our business, as we buy direct
from the farmer and pay him cash for
what We get, so that we really do not
do what might be called a commission
business. it is the duty, however, of
the commission men TO stand together,
they viii pursue I cannot say at this
time, as no plan has been decided. We
have secured the services Of a lawyer"
John G. WetmOre Of the firm of Wet
more Bros, AS Washington street,
said: We have taken, no definite steps
In a few days we shall get together
and decide what TO do. 1 do not think
the Harbor Commission is desirous OF
running our business. OF course, their
taking away our right to sell perishable
goods on the wharves viii not affect US
q great deal except for the inconve-
nience. The farmers Will be the suffer-
ers, for in case we do not regain the
privilege they will be compelled to pay
the carriage on their goods from the
wharves TO the commission houses. AT
this time Of the year the action of the
board does not affect the business of
this firm much, as we are handling but
little in the perishable line. The main
hardship viii be on the merchants that
sell potatoes and onions. The commits
sion had no specific charges against US,
but tried US on q general charge, which
was over and above the Jurisdiction of
the board. 1 have heard nothing said
in regard to the rest of the houses CIV
ing uD their permits and doing all of
their business at the commission
houses. I don't think any such move
has been contemplated.
The commission men Of the city. will
undoubtedly stand together, for the de-
cision affects them all. We who went
UP before the board were merely repre-
sentative firms Of the commission busi-
ness"

Pasadero Savadero peddled ducks
that had been drowned instead of shot
and Game Warden Ault arrested him
for imperiling the public health.
1t was proven TO the satisfaction Of
Judge Mogan that ducks which have
not been slaughtered in the conven-
tionaI way are unfit for human food.
as their demise is not sanguinary, and
it was also explained to the court that
sometimes drowned ducks are pune
tured with wire to give their skin a
false appearance of having been pene-
trated by leaden pellets discharged
from a shotgun.
Savadero's case was continued till
next Wednesday. when it is understood
he will plead guilty and pay the $25
