SARGENT is AT HIS DESK
Immigration COmmissiOner Returns
from Honolulu, where He Saw
Portuguese LabOrers Land.

WASHINGTON, Dec. A-Immigration
Commissioner Sargent was at his desk to-
day after a trip of several weeks, during
which he visited the immigration stations
at Honolulu and San Francisco. While he
was at Honolulu 1873 Portuguese immi-
grants from Funchal and Madeira arrived
Commissioner Sargent superintended their
landing and before he left many Of them
already had secured employment.
Mr.. Sargent, who went to Honolulu at
the special request of President Roosevelt
to be present at the landing of the Portu-
guese immigrants, called on the president
during the day.
There are probably 5000 Japanese in
the Hawaiian islands," said Mr.. Sargent
and they are arriving there at the rate
Of from 600 to 900 a month. The new ar
rivals do not remain long on the islands,
however, and soon go to the Pacific coast.
They are leaving in large numbers by each
steamer. In the last twelve months 1900
Japanese have gone from the Hawaiian
Islands to the mainland of this country"
Mr. Sargent was asked why the Japanese
go to Hawaii. He explained It by saying
that as he understood the case the Japa-
nese government does not issue passports
to the United States proper, as it is un-
aware whether its citizens could get work
here, but the fact that there is demand
for laborers in Hawaii induces the issue
OF passports to the islands.
Mr.. Sargent admitted there was consid-
erable feeling against the Japanese In
many portions of the islands, as their labor
is cheaper and their merchants are under
selling the American merchants in the
islands and taking away the trade previ-
ously held by the latter with the japanese

The selsmographs of the weather bureau

localities, but this cannot be definitely
The first tremors were recorded at 1:5l 80
D. m. of December % and the maximum mo-
ton, of very short duration, occurred at
2:22;4O p. m. The record ended about

WORK OF LIFE-SAVINe CREWS
Nearly a Thousand Persons succOred
at the Different sta
ttoua.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9A-Important work
was accomplished during the last year by
the life-saving service Of the government
thousands of imperiled lives and millions Of
dollars worth OF property being saved
through the herolsm and unremitting Wig
lance Of the life savers.
General Superintendent Kimball Of the
life-saving service shows In his annual re-
port that the number OF marine disasters
was $40 in the waters Of the United States.
In these forty-nine vessels and twenty
nine lives were lost and 81 persons were
succored at the various stations. The total
value Of property saved was l2.266 100.
while that lost was S2775OaO. In the disas-
ters $500 lives were imperiled.
At the close of the last fiscal year the
life-saving establishments comprised 2s
stations. Of which 900 were on the Atlantic
coast, sixty on the Great lakes sixteen on
the Pacific coast proper and one each at
the falls of the Ohio river and Nome,
Alaska.
The nfe-saving crews rendered assistance
of more or less importance to S97 vessels in
addition to those which were lost. Patrol
men and station lookouts also warned
ninety-seven steamers and seventy-seven
sailing vessels, which were running into
disasters which would have caused loss OF
both life and property.
Particularly valuable assistance, It Is
noted, was rendered by the life-saving
crews at San Francisco during the earth
quake and confiagration last April in fight
ing the fire. Transporting supplies and shell
tering the homeless
Superintendent Kitnball says that during
the year seven of the largest sized life
boats have been equipped with gasoline en-
gines. They Constitute a most important
addition to the llfe-saving equipment and
materially enlarge the radius of the ef-
fective work of the crews.
Superintendent Kimball points out that
the great service rendered has cost the
government only SiS2, 465. He urges
strongly that the benefits Of retirement
be extended 20 officers and men OF the
service who became disabled through in
jury or disease or incapacitated by age.

DEFENDANTS LOSE POINTS
United states Supreme Court Makes
Preliminary Ruling in Case
from Tennessee.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 24-The supreme
court today decided adversely to the de-
fendant the preliminary questions involved
in the case of Sheriff Shipp and twenty-six
others OF Knoxville, Tenn, charged with
contempt OF the supreme court in lynching
negro named Johnson after the court
had tazen cognizance of the case.
The opinion was handed down by Justice
Holmes. who announced that with the
preliminary disposed Of, the court would
proceed with the prosecution. He did not
say when the next step would be taken
Justice Holmes, in announcing the con-
clusion Of the court that the lynching con-
stituted a contempt, said
The acts charged constitute a contempt
and their character does not depend upon
a nice inquiry, whether after the order
made by this court. the sherih was TO be
regarded as bailee Of the United States or
still held a prisoner in the name OF the
state alone. Either way the order sus-
pended further proceedings by the state
against the prisoner and required that ne
should be forthcoming to abide the further
order OF this court. 1t may be found
that what created the mob and led 10 the
crime was the unwillingness Of It's mem
bers to submit to the delay required FOR
the trial of the appeal. From that to the
intent 10 prevent that delay and the hear
ing OF an appeal Is short step II that
step Is taken the contempt Is proved These
preliminRries being settled, the trial OF
the case may proceed.

MOTION TO RELEASE sHEA
Attorneys for Teamster Insist No
Conspiracy Has been Proven
in Case.


CHICAGO, Dec. N.-At todays session
OF the Shea teamster strike trial defend
ants counsel offered a motion that the
case be taken from the jury and the de-
PENDANTS discharged on the ground that
the state had not made out case of con-
spiracy.
Arguments on the motion continued the
greater part of the day.
The motion was overruled and Attorney
Daniel Cruice then opened for the defense.
He declared the defense would prove that
the employees were in a conspiracy TO wreck
the teamsters' union and would show that
the teamsters were willing to submit their
case to arbitration. The attorney denounced
Albert Young, Joseph Schultz, William
Kelley and Michael Murphy, who turned
states evidence in the case.
Mr.. Cruice declared it would be shown
that the only instructions issued to pickets
during the strike were to report the move
ments Of strike breakers. He asserted that
President Shea had offered 10 arbitrate the
difficulties. He said II would be shown that
a private detective agency had furnished
men with guns and billies and ordered them
TO go out and beat up somebody and that
while the defense would admit that there
were street blockades during the strike II
would be shown that the men on trial were
not responsible for them.
During the afternoon session Charles
DoId president OF the Chicago Federation
OF Labor in 1905, was called to testify,
Mr.. Dold's testimony was almost entirely
Of a preliminary character and before he
concluded court adjourned until tomorrow
when a halliday session will be held.
Almost the entire afternoon was marked
with clashes and arguments between coun-
sci, the reading of authorities and many
OBJ Elections on both sides.

BOY MURDERER is INSANE
sidney sloane, who Killed His
Father, n Spokane Merchant,
IL Acquitted.

SPOKANE, Wash, Dec. A.-"Not guilty,
by reason Of insanity" was the verdict
returned today by the jury In the case of
Sidney Sloane, the 1s-year-old boy charged
with the murder Of his father, James f.
Sloane, a pioneer merchant Of Spokane.
Robbery was the motive for the crime.
After the verdict had been rendered
Sloane arose as If to leave the court room,
but was stopped. His attorney desires that
the boy be sent to the insane asylum and
this doubtless will be done,
His mother, as the import Of the verdict
was brought home to her, gave a sigh of
relief. Her face changed color and then
she bent over and hid her face in her
hands.
The verdict has been received with evil
dent disfavor.
The trial was the most sensational ever
held in Spokane. II was clearly proved
that on the night Of August % last the
boy came up behind his father I'm their
home here and struck him blows on the
head with an axe; then. after robbing the
dead mans pockets, carried out the body
and dumped It into an alley two blocks
away Returning, he made clumsy efforts
to wash the blood stains from the carpet
ate an apple and went to bed.
When the body was found next morning
the son confessed and said he became en-
ragged at things his father had said about
his mother.
The defense claimed the boy had shown
signs Of insanity from infancy.
