CHINESE MERCHANTS
TO RECEIVE FAlR TREATMENT

Prssident ReessvsIt Intervene In De-

men.
Washington, D. c., June 26.-By d.
rection of President Roosevelt action
has been taken by the administration
which not only will facilitate the land
ing in this country of Chinese Of the
exempt classes. but also will eliminate
from the Immigration Bureau such ad-
ministrative features as have been the
subject of criticism by Chinese. 1t Is
the declared intention Of the President
to zee that Chinese merchants. travel
ers, students and others of the exempt
classes shall have the same courtesy
shown them by officers of the Immi-
grafton Bureau as is accorded to citi-
zens OF the most favored nations.
Representations have been made to
the President that in view of alleged
harsh treatment accorded to many
Chinese seeking q landing In the
United States. the commercial guilds
Of China have determined to institute
q boycott on American manufacturers.
The representations, backed by the au-
thority Of the American Asiatic So
ciety and commercial bodies through
out the country. induced the President
to make an investigation of the situa-
ton with view to remedying the
evils complained of II they we're
found to exist. The subject was dis
cussed thoroughly with Secretary Met
calf Of the Department of Commerce
and Labor, who has supervision OF the
immigration Bureau.
AS result of the inquiry, orders
nave been issued to the diplomatic
and consular representatives of the
United States in China by the Presi-
dent himself that they must look
closely to the performance of their
duties under the exclusion law and
see to 1t that members Of the exempt
classes coming to this country are pro-
vided with the proper certificates.
These certificates will be accepted
at any port of the United States and
will guarantee the bearer against any
harsh or discourteous treatment Such
treatment, indeed, will be the cause
Of the instant dismissal Of the offend
ing oricial, whoever he may be.
In addition to the Presidents orders
Secretary Metcalf has issued instruc-
tions to the immigration officers which
II is believed will remedy the dificulty
heretofore complained of by the Chin
nese government and individuals. 1t
is anticipated that the prompt action
taken by this government to meet the
the objections by the Chinese will
eliminate the possibility of serious
trade difficulties between China and
the manufacturers Of this country.

Denver, June ia dispatch from
Hot Sulphur Springs, Colorado, last
night soys: Mrs. Watt c. Gregg, who
while in fit of temporary insanity, shot
and killed four of her five children and
then shot herself through the abdomen,
at Grand Lake on Thursday, died at
2:3O O'Clock this afternoon. Mrs. Gregg
was q woman about forty-two years of
age Seven years ago she lost three
children by scarlet fever and was for
a long time prostrated with grief, and
1t is thought that constant worry over
the loss of the children affected her
mind. The family had pleasant home
and was financially comfortable. The
funeral Of the mother and children will
be held at Grand Lake tomorrow at 10
o'clock. The four. children will be bur-
led in two cofnns.
The Oldest boy, Lloyd, about fifteen
years old, was away from home, and so
escaped.
The children killed were a babe six
months old, who was sitting in high
chair and whose head the mother shot
of. Its body was found in the chair.
Josie, nine years old. was shot twice
through the breast; Ralph, five years
old, was shot through the heart, and
Harold, three years old, through the
stomach. All the children died almost
instantly. The mother then shot her.
self in the left side, the ball passing
through her body and out of her back.
Watt Gregg, the husband. was at a
neighbor's house near by, and on hear
ing the shots started for his home ac-
companied by a man. They first dis
covered the body Of Mrs. Gregg lying
in the doorway in a great pool Of blood.
She begged them to kill her. Passing
on into the house the grief-crazed hus-
band found the lifeless forms of his
four children where the cruel bullets
had stricken them down.
Neighbors Immediately telephoned
to this place and the coroner. sheriff.
district attorney and a physician
started for the scene Of the awful
crime.
The inquest was held to-day and the
verdict was that the children were
killed by the mother while deranged.
A second inquest, held on the body of
the mother, resulted in a verdict Of sui
eide.
The father is SO distressed over the
calamity that friends fear he will make
an effort at self-destruction and are
keeping him under surveillance.

capacity will be soon doubled. The
plant will start with an initial capacity
of fifteen tons every twenty-four hours

will be employed. the most of whom
will be pickers.
