CHINESE DECISION
FEDERAL SUPREME COURT MAKES
IMPORTANT RULING.
~ Toy, Born OF Chinese Parents
IN This Country; Held Not en-.
titled to cntry-viaorous Dis.
senfin9. Opinion BY Three Jus
ttces.

Washington, MAJ 9.-In thu case q,
IN Toy, the supreme court of the Unit.
ed States held that the decision of thu
secretary Of the department of com.
merce and labor is final in Chinese ex.
clusion cases.
On Is the son Of Chinese parents, but
claims to have been born in the United
states. His exclusion was ordered
after temporary visit to China. but
ne took the case to the federal court.
In passing on the secretary's right
70 order exclusion, Justice Holmes,
who delivered the opinion, said:
The petitioner, although physically
within the boundaries, is to be regard.
cd as though he had been stopped at
the limit Of our jurisdiction and kept
there while his right to enter was I'M
DER debate, If, for the purpose Of ar
gument, we assume that the fifth
amendment applies to him and that to
deny entrance to a citizen is to deprive
him OF liberty. We nevertheless are
OF the opinion that with regard to him
due process of law does not require q
Ju0lCl0l trial.
Justice Brewer delivered a vigorous
dissenting opinion in behalf of himself
and Justice Peck ham and Day.
Justice Brewer said that Ju Toy had
been judiclally adjudged to be a citi-
zen OF the United States, and added:
There can be no punishment except
for crime. This petitioner has been
guilty Ut no crime, and it has been so
determined. Yet in defiance of this
adjudication of innocence he is COM
PEELED to suffer punishment as a GRIM
inal and is denied the protection of a
grand or petit jury. The statutes of
che United States expressly limit the
fnality of the determination of immi-
grafton officers in the cases of aliens.
1t also has been considered by the gov
eminent that these statutes do not ap-
ply to citizens, and yet in the face of
all this we are told that the rules of
the department of commerce and labor
may be enforced against citizens and
that congress so intended. 1 can not
believe that congress intended to pro-
vide that citizen, i simply because he
belongs to an obnoxious race, can be
deprived of all the liberty and protec-
ton the constitution guarantees, and
it it is so intended do not believe chat
it had the power to dod So"

Some of the greatest troubles were
met in 1904, when only 1858 metres
were pierced, but for months together
the splendid drills regularly turned ont
eighteen feet of gallery every twenty
four hours, which far exceeded the
rate ever before attained in the world
ON any work of this kind.
The gradient ascends at each en-
trance toward the middle for the pur-
pose Of drainage, and this alone made
possible the completion of the work.
At distance of 400 metres from
Iselle spring, or rather a river, OF
cold water was struck, which gushed
1890 gallons minute and delayed
operations on the Italian side for
months. Moreover, the ground was
treacherous and this necessitated elab-
crate propping The largest timbers
were crushed and steel Orders were
twisted. The latter were eventually
made serviceabie with the aid of con-
crete cement.
Hot Springs.
Meanwhile from Br1gue the workers
reached the summit Of the gradient in
the middle Of the tunnel, although the
temperature had risen to 1872 degrees
Fahrenheit, which was Is degrees
higher than expected. The Swiss
workers then began to drive down to
meet the Italians, and the hot springs

seen, began again. Water Of tenn
perature of 1T degrees Fahrenheit
was soon tapped, but this was over

cold water into the assures.
When, however. the Swiss had gone
500 metres from the summit the works
became filed with scalding water and
finally stopped the working from the
Brigue end. This was In May, 1904.
It was the last named accumulation
which gushed through the final breach
subsequently. From the Swiss side rhc

BEARDED RAILROAD
LIONS AT BANQUET
Taft Tells Them Rates Are Due
to Fall, and That They
Should Acquiesce'

Washington, May 10.-Secretary
Taft fairly took the breath of the 800
railroad men, members of the Inter-
national Railway Congress, dining last
night as the guests Of the American
Railway Association at the New Will
lard hotel. when, after being intro
duced as "The apostle from the Phil
ippines," he emphatically declared
that railway rate legislation must
come; that if the railway men Of the
country were wise they would aid and
not hinder it; that the sentiment of
the country is such that a failure of
proper regulation meant a campaign
on the subject that would do no good
to the railroads.
Absolute silence reigned as Secretary
Taft spoke his mind on the subject OF
rates. he was positively against gov
eminent ownership, he said, believing
that nothing 80 deleterious could come
to the country as this solution Of the
question. But" he continued, "you
cannot run railroads as You run pri-
vate business. You must respond to
the public demand. II there is danger
of discrimination then you must allow
the establishment of some tribunal
that will remedy that discrimination. -
The secretary saw no reason why a
tribunal properly constituted should
not be competent in every sense Of the
word to fix maximum rate.
Fish AnSwerS.
President Stuyvesant Fish, of the
American Railway Association, had
introduced Secretary Taft in bis Ca
pacity of toastmsaster. Mr.. Fish was
on his feet the instant the secretary
concluded. He answered the secretary
at length, taking the view that the law
to prevent discrimination, double deal
ing and secret rebates was ample. and
he vigorously called for the enforce
ment of that law. Mr.. Fish talked OF
the vested rights Of the money tied up
in railroads. He apoIogized for allow
ing himself to be diverted, and as he
sat down Secretary Taft queried in q
low tone, MAY have fifteen minutes
to reply" This time was given, and
the secretary utilized 1t in making
himself even more positive as to his
position in favor Of legislation which
would create tribunal with authority
to name q maximum rate. What
am strongly in favor Of" he said, IL
that we shall have body that shall
decide things, and that those things
ahall ha decided within q reasonable
time finally by the courts.
Mr.. Fish then took up the argument,
contending it was the question OF nx-
ing the rate for the seller OF goods.
