DON'T WANT JAP IMMIGRANTS.
Movement in the South to Check the Arrival
OF More Rice Growers.

NEW ORLEANS. Oct. 19.-County Attorney
Wheeler Of Galveston, Texas, has made
report unfavorable to the colonizing of
Japanese in Louisiana and Texas. A move
ment was made by the Southern Pacific
Railroad last year to bring large colonies
of Japanese to settle on the rice lands along
that railroad in Louisiana and Texas. The
proposition met with much favor among
the white rice growers Of the section, on the
ground that the Japanese would introduce
better seed and bring into vogue some Of the
improved Japanese methods of rice cult
walton.
The approval given to the movement
was subsequently withdrawn, on the ground
that the coming of the Japanese would
add another race, problem. to that
already existing in the South. Mr.. Wheeler
finds that the immigrants have no desire or
intention to become Americans or to re-
main permanently in this country; that they
have not bought the lands on which they are
growing rice, but have only leased them
for long terms, and that their idea seems
to be return to Japan after making enough
money and to let other immigrants follow
and take up the lease.
The immigration, which promised to be
large, was checked by the war with Russia,
but it il doubtful now II it will be taken up
after the war is over.

COMMISSIONER SARGENT.s TRYH
He Found the Patrol 1t Immigrant Stations
on the Border Highly Efficient.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1e.-Frank p. Sargent,
Commissioner General of immigration,
to-day returned to Washington from q
five weeks visit to the immigrant stations
on the Mexican border, the Pacific coast and
along the Canadian line.
While the purpose Of Commissioner Sar-
gents trip was merely to get better 40
quainted with the service in the field, he
brings back some interesting information
relative to conditions along the Canadian
and Mexican borders. He finds the patrol
at the north and south to be highly efficient.
although obstacles are encountered on the
Mexican line which the officials find it hard
to overcome.
Along the Mexican boSier our men have
some hard propositions to meet" said the
commissioner. 1T is an easy matter for
persons who desire to evade the immigra.
ton authorities to get across the Rio Grande.
In some places the river Is very low and
in others, at some seasons, 1t entirely dis
appears. find that Japanese are coming
into this country across the Mexican border
in numbers that are said to be constantly
growing. While the Japs are not excluded
by our laws, those now coming from Mexico
violate the law They are brought from
Japan to work in Mexican mines, but con-
ditions there being unsatisfactory. they
make an effort to land in this country.
In every instance where Japs have been
captured they have been promptly de-
ported"
According to Commissioner Sargent. the
officers stationed along the Canadian border
are doing efficient work.
I'VE are having little trouble In that
quarter" said the Commissioner. @Very
few immigrants other than Chinese make
an effort to get into the United States
through Canada. The willingness of the
transportation companies to comply with
our regulations and Canada's laws imposing
a head tax of $500 on Chinese entering
the country has almost put stopper on
those coming from that direction. Take it
all in all, l am entirely satisfied with the
work being done by our inspectors along
the northern and southern borders. The
service has improved fully 100 per cent.
since my visit of more than year ago.
Commissioner Sargent will begin putting
the finishing touches on his annual report,
which will soon be made public.
