HOW THEY DO THINGS
IN BLUEFIELp.

There is remarkable procedure
in the matte" OF dealing ont Justice
i'm the city of BucGeld under the
present regime
There was a colored contractor
erecting a house for another party
who had permit TO build the
house. Some technicauties arose
about the construction Of the house.
Whereupon the colored contractor
was arrested without n warrant.
everything he had on his person ta-
ken. including hundred dollars in
money. and the contractor thrust
into prison to await trial A reporter
OF the Leader happened to be pres
ent at the trial and it. certainly
proved the greatest travesty on JUS

are occurring frequently in this city.
In this instance II was a colored
man. who never fails to vote TO keen

prisoner was released. but we would
like to know what the colored people
of Bluefeld think of such treatment
from their pretended friends for
whom they vote like sheep when it
comes to an election There were
many colored people present who
seemed TO be interested i'm the trial.
but if they can stand such treat
ment without registering a protest,
we do not know that we need to
speak OF such injustice

Oriental immigration
Will Be Studied
William R. Wheeler Says Seven
Members of Commission
Will Visit Far East
Special By Leased Wire TO The Call

WASHINGTON. Nov. 10.-William. r.
Wheeler of California, a member of the
immigration commission, called on
the president today in company with
Senator Dillingham; of Vermont and
Prof. j. Jenkens of Cornell, both mem
bers of the commission.
The commissioners merely paid their
respects and advised the president of
the progress of their investigation. An
other year will be consumed before the
report will go to congress. The COM
mission is about to take up the sub
ject of oriental immigration and possi-
bly, within month or two seven men,
bers will go to Japan and China.
I'VE have investigated the emigrant
in Europe" said Commissioner Wheeler
today, "and we know why he leaves
his home for America. We know who
he is and all about him. But this is the
beginning of the immigration question
and not the end We must know him
as an immigrant. We want to know
the immigration question as it exists
inside Of the county. Can we assimilate
the immigration as fast as it is pouring
in? Can we devise some method of scat
tering immigrants instead of permit
ting them to concentrate in large cit
les?
"In Hungary, when I was forced to
employ an interpreter to talk with a
returned emigrant who had lived in
Pittsburg for eight years. I began to
wonder whether we were properly as
simiIating our immigration. The immi-
grafton problem grows bigger as the
question is studied. The commission
will meet soon after congress convenes
and then prepare its plans for further
Investigations. I think it WIN take up
the question of oriental immigration in
which Californians, of course. are par
ticularIy interested

BUTLER DEAD AND SON OF
EMPLOYER UNCONSCIOUS

WHITE PLAINS. N Y, Nov. 10
John Bjorlin, butler at the Bellaire
farm, the country home OF Paul G. The
baud, the New York commission mer-
chant. killed himself today after he had
fought and dangerously wounded his
employers son. Paul g. Thebaud Jr
The latter. who alone can explain the
shooting, was unconscious tonight
The family was aroused at daybreak
by two revolver shots. Young Thebaud
was found senseless in bed. A bullet
had struck his skull and though defiec-
ted, had fractured and depressed the
bone. The butler, stretched upon the
floor. was dead with a bullet in his
brain.
1t is suggested that the butler may
have lost his head while hunting sup
posed burglars and killed himself in
remorse when he discovered his mis-
take. He was 35 years of age and had
been in the family for several years. 1t
is believed that Thebaud will recover.
