Chinaman May stay.
Chin Pac, the Chinaman who came to
the United States seven years ago to
study the English language, and who IL
still unable to speak In any tongue other
than that OF his own country, will not
b deported. The decision Of United states
Commissioner Marlay was that the gov
eminent had failed to make g case.
The contention of Assistant United
States Attorney Lane was that the
Chinaman lie not entitled to stay In this
country because he remains here. not as
a student. but as a laborer. The attorney
claimed that It was necessary for the de-
PENDANT to prove his right to stay here.
while Attorney Love, who represented the
Chinaman. insisted that after the Chinaman
had produced a certificate showing that he
came to this country after having received
students certificate, IL was up to the
government to prove that he had violated
the exclusion act. The court held with
Attorney Love.
Chin Pac was greatly frightened when
called to testify In his own behalf yester-
day and today was unable 10 leave his bed.
He evidently feared that he would be
prosecuted for the alleged Incorporate use
Of opium. He was unable to take nour-
ishment this morning and Kim Wah, with
whom he had been staying. declared that
1t would be unsafe to bring him to court.
objects to stage Children.
Numerous complaints have been made to
officers and members OF the Humane society
this week with reference to the children
of w. w. Weber, who are doing acrobatic
stunts at the Lyric theater. 1t Is claimed
that the children. more than one Of whom
Is under years Of age, are compelled by
their parents to take part in three enter
| tainments of more than one hour each
every day and that they are not being
treated and controlled as they should be,
contrary to the Juvenile court law.
Secretary Hukill Of the Humane society
declared that the matter was being in
Nestigated. but that he had been informed
by an attorney that such cases should be
looked after by Probation Oficer Hoagland.
Pardon Asked for Murderer.
Though efforts exerted for a year or
two past to get Ernest Bush out of the
state penitentiary have proved unavail-
ing, his friends have not despaired. A
delegation of them called on Governor
Mickey this afternoon to press anew the
application for clemency. In the party
were L. c. Burr, who made a fruitless
attempt to have Bush's life sentence set
aside by the supreme court; Mrs. John
wiseman and several other Lincoln
women who have taken an interest In
the prisoner. Governor Mickey gave them
no promises.
Bush was sent up from Dundy county
for life seven years ago for the killing
of a man named Bailey. The two were
employed on the Morse ranch. two miles
from Benkelman. One day they were left
| there alone and that was the last time
anyone saw Bailey alive Bush made a
trip to town on that day and returned to
| the place alone. Bailey was missed for
| two weeks. Then somebody found his
| body in the Republican river. 1t was full
| of buckshot, indicating that murder had
Enthusiastically been committed. The
| theory of the crime was that someone
had killed Bailey and dragged his body
| to the river, where 1t was dumped
| through a hole in the ice. the season be-
ing winter, When the ice melted the
body reappeared at the surface.
The only motive assigned for the kill
| ing was that the slayer wanted what
money Bailey had. Bush. at the time, was
| II years old.
Brown Looking Up Law.
| Attorney General Brown has written for
a copy Of the regulations OF the South
Omaha Fire and Police Board and ordi-
nances regulating the sale of liquor be-
| fore answering the governors inquiry az
| to the right OF the board to revolte licenses
OF saloonkcepers who may have violated
| the law, but who have not been convicted
In court. The opinion OF the attorney gen.
eral will be that the board has discre-
tionary power to refuse licenses at the
beginning OF the license year.
