Chinese IN BAD Way

STROYED In FRISCO,
California Chinese Are Making an Ef.
fort to Get Re-registration for More
Than 25,000-Have Nothing to Show
Their Legal Residence-Hard Prob.
lens for Custom Officials.

The California Chinese are to make
an effort before the highest authori
ties for complete reregistration of
their people.
The contention of leading Chinese
is that more than $4,000 certificates
of registration, a great part of which
are not duplicated in Washington,
were destroyed in the San francisco
fire. 1t is stated that there are only
$4,000 Chinese in California.
Many of the Cinnamon are border
ing on panic, for they realize that
SHOULD their right to be in the United
States be questioned they have moth
ing to show their legal residence. For
months to come any Chinese who uas
possible knowledge of English and
American customs will claim On arrest
that his certificate was destroyed in
San Francisco. The problems that
now confront the immigration Of
ficials are practically endless.
The registration now in effect was
made II years ago. The Chinese
claim that this was imperfect and in
some respects on a wrong basis.

The Maharajah Gaekwar is the second
