JUDGE SAYS CHINESE MUST GO
United states Circuit Court of Appeals
Makes Ruling In Ohio
Case.

CINCINNATI, Jan. s.--The case of Hong
Wing against the United States, involving
the Chinese exclusion act was decided in
favor of the United States I'm the United
States circuit court of appeals In this city,
the court holding that the act of April z.
1904, continued the exclusion act in full
force, congress having fun power to do SO.
Hong Wing is one of six Cinnamon who
had been ordered deported under the pro-
Visions of the Chinese exclusion act, and
the cases being Identical, the one decision
will apply to all six Attorneys for the APP
plicant maintained that the exclusion act
was void and that their clients could not
be deported.
The decision was announced by Judge
Richards, who said that the main point
presented to the court was whether the act
of April Z, 1904 continued the Chinese ex-
clusion act In force and the court was sat
isfied that It did so without reference to
any existing treaties or regulations. The
act was passed in.view OF the treaty expir-
ing and 1t had continued the provisions of
the treaty. Congress has the power to
modify, reject or concur In treaties and Il
had done what was wholly within its power
in passing this act. The decision OF the
lower court was therefore sustained and

DISCRIMINATION in OIL RATES
TariH Dictated by standard Excludes
Independents from 80. Louis
Market.

ST LOUIS, Mo-, Jan. s-During an in
vestigation before the State Board of Rail-
road and Warehouse Commissioners today
Assistant Attorney General Kennish
brought out evidence To the effect that the
Standard Oil company is enforcing arbl-
trary freight rates on oil between 81. Louis
and Kansas City.
The testimony showed that a rate OF %
DENTS hundred pounds IL In effect from
st. Louis to Kansas City, while the rate
from Kansas City to ST. Louis is only IL
cents. 1t was stated by witnesses that this
disparity was due To the effort OF the
Standard OIL company TO prevent st, Louis
concerns from competing with II in the
western field.
George Matthews & Co. and the St Louis
Oil company are the principal local con-
Germs interested In the investigation. Act
ing with them are the National Refining
company of Cleveland. the Hannibal on
company and the Fidelity Oil company Of
Kansas City.
Alfred T. Stewart. assistant freight agent
OF the Missouri Pacific, and Frank u.
Fretter. secretary OF the National Refining
company. were the principal Witnesses.
Stewart admitted that the high rates acted
as bar TO the shipment Of petroleum west
from ST. Louis.
Fretter testined: "'rhe Standard OIL
company has monopoly there. All CONF
petition IL shut out and the people of Mis-
souri, arc practically forced to take STAN
dard oil from Standard refinefies. The In
dependent concerns can't compete because
of the excessive freight rates.

OMAHA GIVES UP CONVENTION
Commercial Club Abandons idea of
-- Entertaining Christian Endesv-
.-. g, 0rers Next Year. 49,,

That Omaha will not ask for the 1907 in
ternational convention of the Christian En-
deavor society was decided yesterday at

care for the delegates.

the club restaurant had been run at q
profit and the total receipts during the
year were about s22,soo. The club, in all
departments, took in 5000 over, all ex-
penses. and applied this as part payment
on the debt incurred by refurnishing the
club rooms last spring. The chairman OF
the house committee, the chairman of the
auditing committee, and the commissioner
were appointed to go over the books with
the idea OF getting suggestions for this
year.
Authority was given the entertainment
committee to arrange for a smoker. at
which a representative of the National
Cash Register company will give FAC
tory lecture. The company has two capa-
BILE men on the road. giving general leo

Midshipmsn Decatsr Asain Placed on
Trial for Violating Law of
19O3-Plea In bar
Rejected.

ANNAPOLIS. Jan. e.--Several legal uues-
tons of importance arose today during the
second trial OF Midshipman stephen De-
catu on charges of hazing before the
court-martlal in session at the Naval acad-
envy. The court decided that the act of
1893. which provides dismissal for "encour-
asing or countenancing hazing' is amend
atory OF the act OF 1874 which provides the
penalty for active participation I'm hasins.
A plea in bar was then entered to the only
specification against Decatur on the charge
of encouraging and countenancins 'haE-
ing" on the ground that Decatur had al
ready been tried on substantially the same
facts in the former case. In denying the
motion the court ruled that maltreatment
of fourth class man by the infiiction OF
direct physical cruelty was not the only
Kind OF having, but annoyance or mutila-
ton, such as the requirement OF mental
service, making ridiculous and such like
were also hazing.
This ruling is expected to lead to many
more convictions.
The first court martial of a midshipman
under the act of 1903, providing dismissal
for encouraging or countenancing haHing,"
began today, Midshipman Stephen Deca-
tur, jr of Portsmouth, n. H., being on
specification, that Decatur countenanced
the hazing of Fourth Classman Gaylord
Church of Meadville. Pa. There is also
charge of hazing under the act Of 1894 un-
der which there are two specifications. No
courts-martial have been called under the
latter act previous to this, because 1T was
believed that the superintendent OF the
Naval academy had powers of summary
dismissal under IL. A recent opinion Of the
attorney general holds, however. that the
power can only be exercised after con-
viction by a court-martial. Decatur has
already undergone one trial for hazing and
was acquitted. He is regarded as one OF
the best students in the class which will
graduate next month. '......' ..- .''..
The next midshipman TO be tried is John
Paul Miller of Lancaster, Ky, also men,
Der of the first class. There are charges
under both acts against him, each sup
ported by four specifications. Among the
midshipmen OF the fourth class whom IL Is
alleged that Miller hazed is Henry G.
Cooper, ir of oxford. n. c., the youth
who was stricken with paralysis in the
class room about n month ago and whose
previous hazing was rumored at the time
but denied by him.
