The California Chinese are to make
an effort before the highest authori-
ties for complete reregistration of

The contention of leading Chinese
is that more than $4,000 certificates
of registration, great part of which
are not duplicated in Washington.

fire. 1t Is stated that there are only
$4,000 Chinese in California.
Many of the Cinnamon are border

months to come any Chinese who las
possible knowledge of English and
American customs will claim on arrest
that his certificate was destroyed in
San Francisco. The problems that
