Held for the Crime
By Associated Press.

BAKERSFIELD, April AT the
door of her hut at the rancherie at the
mouth of the lower Tejo canyon Marie
Verie, an Indian woman, was found this
morning with her throat cut. Some
Indian neighbors went over to Marie S
hut and were startled to see her
stretched out in the path that runs
from the door down to the little creek.
They made a hasty examination and
found that the womans throat had
been so deeply cut as to sever the
head.
Marie" as she was called by the
residents in the vicinity, was a well
known Indian woman, having lived all
her life on the rancherie about the
TETON. She was a married woman. but
her Indian husband Is away from home

Sheriff Baker arrived at the ranch
this afternoon and en- route he picked
up on the plains an old Indian by the

Lugo had blood on his cuff when

Judge Willis Brown of Salt Lake City
Explains One l.ethod - What
Others Say of Utah
Man
M an

Judge Willis Brown of the Salt Lake
juvenile court and a crusader of the
cigarette habit among boys, is in Los
Angeles. When seen last evening he
said:
II have been engaged in the juve-
nile work for ten years, seven of which
/ have been crusading against the
cigarette habit among the boys. Pre-
vious to this l was a public school
teacher. With the inception of the
anti-cigarette work came the juvenile
court efforts in the middle western
states.
up to date these courts are exist
ing in twenty-seven states. In my
visits in the public schools of the
large cities we discovered that nearly
all of the states had some form OF
law for the boys projections; also the
curfew law and ordinances against
visiting saloons and gambling.
Anti-ciearette Leagues
I'm my work with the boys in the
formation of anti-cigarette leagues, we
enlist them in great companies against
the use of cigarettes and kindred vices
l discovered that because of the Grim
inal methods of enforcing the laws and
ordinances violated by the boys, these
methods were not used by the officers
because it pleased the boys to be placed
in the same criminal docket with the
adult murderers and thieves.
Therefore, the modern, humane and
merciful juvenile plan, as a saving in
stitution rather than Furnishing court
has for years received careful study
with the outcome of the present sep
arate juvenile or rather delinquent
court law in Utah. where we have sep
arate courts for cities of 5000 inhab-
itants.
I'm your own beautiful city | wish
to congra tulate you upon the splendid
work of Judge Wilbur and Mr.. Dodds
A few Salt Lake boys have made eX-
cursons to Los Angeles who have beer
finely entertained by your hospitable
people. So from the standpoint of the
boys I know how effective is the
friendship of these two men to induce
the boys to love their own city best
Has Travelled From Coast to Coast
Judge Brown has lived, worked and
slept with boys from New York to San
Francisco. He understands the nature
of boys thoroughly and it is a custom
of his court that he uses no Officers
in sending boys to detention homes OF
reform schools and lately he has beer
sending girls alone with their people
with their own commitment papers
1t often happens that from 5000 tC
5000 boys gather to hear him speak
and he has the power to impress them
with his plan of square dealing"
Judge Brown gave a very interesting
lecture before the meeting of the Meth
yesterday morning on 'The Great
Curse of the Cigarette Habit Among
Girls and Boys"
Judge Brown will deliver a lecture
at the First Methodist church next

CHINESE READY
FOR INVASION
THEY PREPARE FOR FALSE
ENTRY INTO U. S.
Commissioner Sargent Suggests REM
edy for the yellow Peril-Says
All Cinnamon Should Be
Reregistered
Rv A ssociatcd I'resS.

BY Associated I'ress.
WASHINGTON, April 9-Commis-
sioner General Sargent of the immigra-
ton service was heard today by the
house committee on foreign affairs rel
ative to the proposed amendments to
the Chinese exclusion act. The COM
missioner reviewed at length the diff
ficulties in the way OF enforcing the
present law. The greatest cause OF
complaint arose, in his opinion, from
the fact that what are known as See
ton Six certificates" which are in
reality passports of Chinamen privi-
legged to land in this country, made
out in blank by United States consular
officers in China, and were bartered
in for consideration. The remedy, he
suggested, was to have officers l1s
China who should investigate the GER
tificates issued to every Chinaman and
who should send with the steamer In
which he sailed proper papers to the
immigration authorities at the port OF
destination, the means of readily iden-
tifying the Chinaman and the certif-
icate.
Preparing for Invasion
Mr.. Sargent declared that today
Mexico is flooded with Cinnamon who
are schooling themselves for fraud
ulent entry into the United States.

much better than it was several years
ago because of an agreement with the
Canadian railroads.
Mr.. Sargent also advocated an
amendment to the present law requir-
ing all Cinnamon in this country to
be re-registered. He said the country
is full of Cinnamon who We're here in
violation of the law. After the re-
registration he would then send out
of the country all Cinnamon who did
not have proper certificates. The diff
ficulty of enforcing the Chinese ex-
clusion act, Mr.. Sargent said, is be-
cause of the dishonesty of American
attorneys, the big Six companies in
San Francisco, as we'll as other in
terested parties, and these were the
interests now actively engaged in eff
forts to get the law broken by lax
amendments.
He denied that the immigration
bureau was responsible for the Chinese
boycott.
The committee had before it the Fos-
ter bill, but Mr. Sargent did not agree
that this was the proper remedy

BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, April 9-The follow
ing statement was given out at the
Japanese legation today:
"Owing to the fact that the with
drawal of the troops from Manchuria
not having sufficiently progressed the
Japanese government hitherto has
neither permitted citizens and vessels
of foreign countries to enter the ports
and regions Of Manchuria nor allowed
foreign consuls to proceed to their posts
therein. Considerable progress, how
ever, having now been made in this
respect. the Japanese government has
decided in accordance with the princi-
pals of the open door and equal oppor-
tunity advocated by them, to permit
citizens and vessels of foreign countries
to enter, from May l, An Tung Hsein
and Ia Tung Kao, and allow foreign
consuls to proceed to their posts at
An Tung Hsein. From June L foreign
consuls shall be allowed to proceed to
their posts at Mukden, and travelling of
foreigners in the interior of Manchuria
will be permitted so far as military eXt-
gencies do not prevent it. 1t has fur
ther been decided that the Japanese
government will open Dairen CTalien-
wan), to the commerce of the world
as soon as possible.
Judging from the present condition
of the interior of Manchuria, it is i'm
possible for the authorities to afford
such foreign travellers adequate pro-
lection and facilities in housing and
other matters. Those, therefore. who
enter the interior of Manchuria do so
entiely at their own risk, and the Jap
anese government do not hold them
selves responsible for any injury or
damage which they may sustain from
bandits or other marauders."

Promises Boy a Square Deal


criminal reached for a dirty handker-
chief to wipe away a tear. He, too,
had been touched to the heart. He was
crying a moment later.
Never mind, my boy went on
Judge Brown. Don't feel badly over
what I have said, but always remember
your mother when you are tempted TO
do anything wrong and don't do 1t. BE
good, for her sake
And then the Judge talked to the
youth as he would have talked to his
own boy. He told him that he would
give him square deal and that ne
knew there was a bright future ahead
for the criminal of few nights before.
"He told the boy he was his friend
and he said it just as though he meant
it-and he did. He told George that
he felt it his duty to send him to the
reform school, but that he would per-
sonally look after him after he came
out and would try and secure good
position for him..
Gains Confidence of Children
after receiving the lads thanks,
Judge Brown saw that he had bath
and some clean clothes, and giving
him commitment papers sent him to
Ogden, thirty miles away, without any
officer accompanying him.
I'm fact Judge Brown does this same
thing with every boy and girl whom
he commits to the reform school. He
first gives them to understand that
he is their friend, and gains their COM
plete confidence, and his next move
is to prove that he has confidence In
them by sending them unattended on
a railway journey to take up their
duties at the state Industrial school at
Ogden.
Hundreds of boys and girls, some
of them formerly notorious in Salt
Lake for their incorrigbility, have been
handled in this way, and not one
of them has failed to keep faith with
their new-found friend who trusted
them and who placed them upon their
honor.
Goes on Trips With Them
Boys who a year ago were loafing
around the streets of Salt Lake, smok-
ing cigarettes and stealing everything
they could lay their hands on, are now
members of a juvenile band organized
by Judge Brown.
He takes them on hike trips
through the mountains. He goes
camping with them and, in short, en-
ters into all the pleasures which they
enjoy.
young men who, year ago, were
started straight for the penitentiary
doors are now holding responsible po-
sitions secured through the influence
of the judge. On one occasion 5000
boys and girls marched into the Nor
mon tabernacle and listened to stories
told by Judge Brown concerning the
evils of cigarette smoking. Several
thousand boys who smoked cigarettes
a year ago have smoked for the last
time, and are now members of the
Anti-Cigarette league, which was
founded by the Utah man.
"The best men and women of Utah
sing Judge Browns praises. He is
welcome to every home in the state.
Every school teacher and every man
connected with an educational institu-
ton who has met him is his lifelong
friend. In short, Judge Willis Brown
is one man in million. He knows how
best to handle wayward boys and
girls"
