POLLOCK TAKES HAND.
Kansas City Theatrical Middle in
Federal Court.

The authorities of Kansas City and
county, Mo-, are temporarily
restrained from interfering with the
operation of Sunday theaters in Kan
sas City. Last evening Judge John c..
Pollock issued such an order ernpor-
arily enjoining the above authorities
upon an application made in the United
States circuit court by A. L. Cooper of
Kansas City, attorney for the Kansas
City theaters.
The compliments mentioned are
Bertram c.. Whitney and 10 others and
the hearing upon an application to
make the temporary injunction perman-
ent will be had Friday at 10 o'clock a.
m, at Kansas City. Ordinarily Judge
Phillips of Kansas City would have
been the judge to whom an application
would have been made, but the latter is
absent from his district and Judge Pol
lock was requested to act in his stead.
A. L. Cooper came to the city last ev-
ening at $50 on the Santa Fe and re-
turned to Kansas City later in the ev-
ening after he had procured the re-
straining order.
In making their prayer for an injunc-
ton the compliments state that an eff
fort is being made to arrest them and
their employees and place them in prison
for an alleged violation of the Sunday
labor law. They claim that a violation
of the Sunday labor law has not been
committed and that performing on a
stage is not labor within the construc-
ton of the word in this particular law.
In the course of the order which was
issued last evening Judge Pollock sta.
ted that the court did not intend to
interfere with the enforcement of a
Missouri criminal law but it was issued
with the purpose of restraining the city
and county from interfering with per-
sons lawfully practicing a lawful pro-
fession in a lawful manner until the
Jurisdiction of the court and the equity
Of the parties to the order should have
been established.
The following city and county Off
Gals were especially mentioned in the
restraining order: Henry NJ. Beardsley,
E. Gallagher, and Elliott b.
Jones, police commissioners; Andrew
E. Thomas clerk of the criminal court;
Albert Heslip, marshal of the criminal
court; Isaac B. Kimbrell, prosecuting
attorney, and Daniel Ahern, chief of
police.

holders. Inadequate rates will result in
INADEQUATE reserves.
FIRE insurance is not a commodity,
out modern conditions have made it a
necessity. In place of rate wars there
should be rate uniformity and cooper
alton. This would result in cheaper
rates and would be a fulfillment of the
noble and generous which or
1g1nally inspired the organization of
nre insurance companies where the
many contribute to assuage the misfor-
tunes of the few. In place of offering
encouragement to companies without
assets and integrity, the various insur-
ance departments do and should further
promote the financial integrity of the
institutions which bear the burdens of
and comply with the laws of
the respective states. Companies that
disregard the statutes of the state oc-
the same relation to the laws as
the Kansas iointist.
This is the logical condition which
should exist between fire insurance
companies and the public, and which
will prevail before many years.

LET CHINESE COME.
Seth Low Says Only the Coolie Glass
Should BE Excluded.

Chicago. Oct. 24.-Immigration.
with special reference to the Chinese
exclusion act, was discussed by former
Mayor Seth Low of New York in an
address before the Chicago association
of commerce..
Mr.. Low Endorsed the socalled
Roosevelt policy" of excluding from
this country only the class of Chinese
known as Coolies"
81 am in favor of the purpose, but
not the form of the Chinese exclusion
act" said MI. Low. President Roose>
welt is right in his policy of opposition
to the slavelike labor of coolies in this
free country.
at is an insult to an Did. wise and
proud race such as the Chinese to ex-
clude their student and great men
from our shores. 1 am in sympathy
with the great object of the Chinese
exclusion act-to keep the Pacific
coast free from the numerical repon-
derance of an Asiatic population. If
there ever was a matter of public
policy in which the undesirable citi-
zen doctrine should be enforced to the
limit it is the immigration question.
"Degenerates and people low
morals are the most Undesirable class
es of immigrants. But there should
be no educational tests. Physical fiber
and stamina should be the chief quail
ties required"

DAWES WAS FIERCE.
Attacked the Government and Defend
ed the R~ockefeIIers.

Chicago, Oct. 24.-Delegates to the
National Civic Federation convention
today were eagerly discussing the re-
marks made at the meeting last night
by Charles G.. Dawes, ex-comptroller
of the currency.
Mr.. Dawes made a sharp attack
upon the federal department of justice.
virtually charging the Office of the at
torney general with making gallery
plays" He said in part:
Il can not say that it is Intentional
on the part of the department of JUS
tice, but some of it's actions loo re-
markedly as if favOritiSm was being
displayed in h selection of the com
binations to be investigated, and in
the manne of attack
ut is inevitable that n man who
does things is in the public eye, n an
attack upon him will always win pub
licity. 1t is remarkable that the cases
handled by the department of justice
always are tried in the newspapers be-
fore they get into the courts"
The speaker also criticised the
magazine writer, who, he said, made a
practice of attacking the men who ac-
complished great things in the mercan-
tile and financial world.
He then entered upon a defense Of
the fnanciers of New York, asserting
that many of the men who have borne
the lash during the last four years are
doing a work for the good of the coun-
try. the value of which it is hard to
estimate. 49,
They are seeking" he said. "to up
hold the credit upon which prosperity
rests. They are seeking to save the
opportunity for the profitable con-
.tinuance of men who handle merchan>
disc, of men in manufacturing enter
prises and in all other walks of life"
In conclusion, Mr.. Dawes urged the
amendment of the Sherman antitrust
law so as to avoid implication that all
combines are of criminal character,
and more specifically indicate which
are criminal.
The first address delivered in today's
session was that of Herbert Knox
Smith of the federal bureau of corpor-
who spoke upon "Administra-
tive Regulations of Corporations"
D. A. Tompkins of Charlotte, N. C.,
speaking on 1.-The Railways and the
People" declared that interstate com
merce had grown entirely beyond the
control of any one state, and should
be brought within one general federal
jurisdiction.

WANT THE CHINESE.
Salmon Packers Say No One Else Can
Do the Work.

Seattle, Wash, Oct. 24.-The cannery
men of southeastern Alaska are pre-
pairing to make a fight in congress for
q revision of the Chinese exclusion act,
so as to permit the importation of can
merry laborers under heavy bonds. The
cannery men claim that unless some
step is taken to provide more Chinese
laborers for the work in Alaska, the
pack will nave to be curtailed. At
tempts to utilize white, Japanese anG
Indian labor were not wholly success
full. 1t is claimed the Chinese alone
are satisfactory but under the existing
law can not be obtained in sufficient
numbers.
