run MARTNEAU CENTENARY.
of Harriet Martineau Died
at the Great Age of 95.

London, April 21.-Many observ-
ances were held today of the cente-
nary Of the birth of James Martineau.
the celebrated philosopher and di-
vine, and brother of Harriet Mar
tineau, the authoress. The most no
table observance of the anniversary
was that held in DR.. Martineau's ma
tive city of Norwich, where special
services were held attended by rep
resentatives of the British and For
eigu Unitarian society and other So
cieties. Commemorative gatherings
We're also held in London and in Man
Chester, oxford, and other centers.
James Martineau was born in Nor
wich, April 81. 1905. He was for
many years professor in Manchester
New college, and removed to Lon
don when that institution was trans
ferred here i'm 1858, becoming one
of the pastors in the chapel in Little
Portland street. He became princi-
pal of the college in 1868, retiring
from the pastorate in 1874. He was
one of the founders of the National
Review" He lived to the great age
of 95, his death having occurred but

East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1905-04-21

under this country's jurisdiction the
point is made that the laws must be
applied to it.
An attorney in the department to
whom the question was broached eX-
pressed the opinion, after reading the
statute. that the whole question would
hinge on the word NOV" in the sec
ton cited
THE section says any waters. ter
ritory or other places now under the
jurisdiction thereof said he. THAT
act was approved March 3, 1908. Was
the canal zone under the jurisdiction
of the United States at that time?
The treaty by which we came into
possession of the strip was not ratified
until February "a. 1904. Under the
circumstances I am of the opinion
that the immigration and labor laws
cannot be applied to the canal zone.
However, the question of the con-
struction of that section. of the sig
nificance of the word now contained
therein. is one that might he raised"
Up to the present time no effort
has been made to enforce the immi-
grafton and labor laws in the canal
zone. on the contrary the canal zone
is still regarded as foreign property
in that aliens to the United States
from there are still subjected to the
head tax of 50 each.
1t is not believed that labor inter-
ests will interpose objections to the
use of Chinese or other foreign labor
in the digging of the canal, but the
point might be made that if the canal
zone is territory of the United States,
and a part thereof, Chinese permitted
to enter there for work on the canal
might claim that they have thereby
been admitted into the United States
and .had the right to come to the
states.
In such event American labor in
terests would be up in arms to repel
threatened yellow invasion. The
question of the federal eight hour
law as applied to labor on the Pana-
ma canal is now before the attorney
general. and the pending contracts
for labor will not be actually signed
until that question is settled.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1905-04-21
.ASIAT|CS WILL DIG THE PANAMA CANAL.

Panama will draw thousands of
japanese and Chinese laborers from
oregon, Washington and Idaho, for
the new isthmian canal commission is
satisfied that it will be impossible to
dig the Panama canal with white la
Dor, and preparations are being made
to hire as many Japanese and West
Indian laborers as possible. An
agreement has been all but concluded
between the war department and at
least one contract labor concern by
which 20O0 or 5000 Japanese laborers
will be brought from Hawaii to the
isthmus, where they will be employed
in digging the big waterway. The
contract, as already drawn up, meets
the approval of the war department
and the canal commission, and it will
be signed as soon as a legal opinion
on one or two points is rendered by
the attorney general
Laborers coming from Hawaii will
not be barred by the alien contract
labor law, since the Hawaiian islands
are American territory. 1t is still a
question, however. whether laborers

country to work on the isthmus, for
the point will probably be raised that
the alien contract labor law bars such
a proceeding.
If this point can be overcome, the
government will make arrangements
to secure as many as 10000 japanese
laborers from Japan. Chinese labor
will also be employed, if it is found
by the governments lawyers that the
exclusion act does not bar Chinese
from the canal zone.
The old canal commission had
practically decided to use Chinese la
Dor in digging the canal, and it had
also been suggested that the japanese
labor might be used. In any event,
it is accepted as a fact that the canal
cannot be dug by white labor. as
white men cannot stand the climate
and the work, and that foreign labor
must be procured.
AT the office of Secretary Metcalf,
of the department of commerce and
labor. it was said that the question of
the alien contract labor law had not
been raised and referred to the So
licitor general for an opinion.
Commissioner General of Immigra-
ton Sargent, when asked about the
matter said, that he was not pre-
pared to express a definite opinion,
but that off-hand he was inclined to
believe that the laws in question
would and do apply to the canal zone.
Mr.. Sargent cited section 33 of the act
of 1903, which reads:
THAT for the purpose of this act
the words United States as used in
the title as we'll as in the various
sections of this act shall be construed
to mean the United States and any
waters, territory or other place now
subject to the jurisdiction thereof"
Under this provision the laws are
applied to Porto Rico, Alaska, Ha-
waii and the Philippines, and as the
canal zone is unquestionably the ter
ritory of the United States and solely
