cALIFoRNIANs AROUSED
Presidents Effort to Modify Chinese
Immigration Methods Opposed


WASHINGTON, Dec. 1s.-Knowledge
that President Roosevelt, after the
holidays. intends pressing for a trans
fer of the Chinese immigration inspec-
tor service from United States ports to
the ports Of embarkation In China, was
behind the caucus of far Western
Congressman in the House yesterday
The California delegation took the
lead in the movement to fight the ad-
ministration, but received scant en-
couragement from the members of the
neighboring States. That pressure
from high sources to report this
amendment favorably to the House is
being exerted was admitted by a num-
Der of this House committee on foreign
affairs today.
1t was said at the meeting that the
agitation of more '.open door for
Chinese immigration originated in the
Eastern States and would so arouse
labor as to be certain of defeat in
Congress, If the Foster bill, which en-
bodies the amendment sought by Presl-
dent Roosevelt. is ever brought up in
the House. On the Japanese question
the Californians were advised to let
the present situation rest.

TAFT DEFENDS PRESIDENT
Says Discharge of Troopers Was Proper
Exercise of Power


WASHINGTON, Dec 19.-In a report
which accompanied the Presidents
message, Secretary Taft defends the
action of the President in discharging
without honor the members of three
companies of the Twenty-fifth Infantry
tcoloreds as entirely within the legal
exercise of the executives power. The
secretary pointed out that not all of the
members of the three companies were
discharged, that the commands had
been recruited up, their identity main
tained and that the wholesale dis
charges were ordered by name, in no
way furnishing precedent for the
mastering out of an integer of the
army by executive order. The Secre-'
tary sustained his contention by quo
tations from the fourth section of the
Articles of War. Referring to the al
legged new evidence presented in behalf
of the discharged negro troopers. Sec
retary Taft said that 1T presented no
new facts. but simply reiterated the
